Methodology: A short-term event study to detect a cumulative abnormal return around LBO exit announc
Halvledarindustrin har en form av immaterialrätter avsedd särskilt för dem: Kretsmönsterrätter. Dessa introducerades i USA 1984 i syfte att skydda den amerikanska halvledarindustrin från konkurrens från östra Asien, huvudsakligen Japan. Den ersatte principen om nationell behandling med den materiella ömsesidighetsprincipen, som är normen inom immaterialrätt. Detta tillät USA att tvinga andra ländeThe semiconductor industry has a sui generis IP type dedicated to it: the semiconductor topography right. This right was introduced in 1984 with the purpose of protecting the U.S. semiconductor industry from East Asian, mainly Japanese, competition. It replaced the principle of treatment on a national basis that is the norm in IP law with one of material reciprocity, which allowed the U.S. to stro
The purpose of this paper is to study the arguments, reasoning and security analysis made by government actors that resulted in the different and contradictory development trajectories for the civil defense and population protection policies in Sweden and Finland during the last decades. During the period leading up to the full- scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Finland has adequately pre
Bakgrund: Första fallen av COVID-19 kom i december 2019 i Kina. I mars 2020 blev COVID-19 klassat som pandemi. Pandemin satte stor press på sjukvården världen över, men framför allt på intensivvården och intensivvårdssjuksköterskorna som tog emot ett större antal patienter än normalt. Syfte: Att belysa intensivvårdssjuksköterskors upplevelser av att arbeta under COVID-19 pandemin ur ett globalt peBackground: The first cases of COVID-19 emerged in China in December 2019.

Killer acquisition is a type of acquisition that allows the acquiring undertaking to curb market competition by preemptively removing a potentially competitive undertaking that would directly compete with the acquiring undertaking. Such an acquisition allows the acquiring undertaking to continue being the dominant provider, while consumers experience a decrease in consumer welfare. This type
En kvasi-experimentell studie med mixed design användes för att utforska effekten av en endags utbildningsintervention i Acceptance- and Commitment Therapy (ACT) för personal inom barnpsykiatrisk slutenvård. Variablerna som undersöktes var psykologisk flexibilitet, symtom på generell psykisk ohälsa, självmedkänsla och antal sjukdagar. Vidare undersökte studien hur effekten utvecklades över tid förA quasi-experimental study with mixed design was used to explore the effect of a one-day educational intervention in Acceptance- and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for personnel in psychiatric inpatient childcare. The measured variables were psychological flexibility, symptoms of general psychological distress, self-compassion and number of sick-leave days. Furthermore, the study explored how the possib
On the basis of ethnographic fieldwork, this thesis sheds light on the experiences of urban Syrian refugees in re-establishing livelihoods in Istanbul after displacement. The first part of the thesis identifies social exclusion mechanisms, including lack of access to a stable legal status, education and permission to work legally, as well as extensive discrimination and harassment as constituting
This study investigated whether the emotional attitudes a person experiences toward another individual influence episodic memory for items associated with that individual. To examine this, we measured recognition memory for word pairs that had been previously presented overlaid on images of celebrities, with multiple images per celebrity. The participants were afterwards asked to report experience
Kostnadsansvar för motpartens rättegångskostnader i domstolsprocess är normalt förekommande i processrätten, men saknas i förvaltningsprocessen. Historiskt sett betraktades kostnadsansvaret som ett skadestånd, en ordning som sedermera övergavs i merparten av processformer, dock inte i förvaltningsprocessen där synen på kostnadsansvaret som skadestånd ständigt finner sin renässans. Denna uppsats unLiability for reimbursing the other party's costs in court proceedings is a common aspect of procedural law, yet it is notably absent in administrative proceedings. Historically, such cost liability was viewed as a form of tort, a perspective that has since been largely abandoned in most types of litigation. However, this tort-based view of cost liability persists and is experiencing a constan
Den tekniska utvecklingen har ändrat hur människor kommunicerar med och om varandra. Den har också fört med sig nya former av övergrepp, däribland så kallade bildbaserade sexuella övergrepp. Begreppet bildbaserade sexuella övergrepp innefattar alla former av framställande och/eller spridande av privata, sexuella bilder utan samtycke från den avbildade. Exempel på sådana övergrepp är ”hämndporr”, sTechnological developments have changed the way people communicate with and about each other. It has also brought with it new forms of abuse, including so-called image-based sexual abuse. Image-based sexual abuse includes all forms of creation and / or distribution of private, sexual images without the consent of the person depicted. Examples of such abuse is “revenge porn”, stealth photography, u
Syftet med föreliggande studie är att undersöka vilka faktorer som gymnasieelever från ett estetprogram upplever som viktiga för att skapa eller underhålla motivationen till att fortsätta musicera efter gymnasietiden. Undersökningen har genomförts i form av en kvalitativ metod genom intervjuer av tidigare elever från estetprogram som, på professionell eller amatörnivå, har fortsatt med musiken eftThe purpose of this study is to investigate which factors are perceived as important to high school students with a music profile in order to create or maintain the motivation to continue to play music after high school. The investigation has been carried out using a qualitative method through interviewing former students that have studied a music profile in high school and there after continued p
The objective of this essay was to obtain a more insightful understanding regarding how social workers, within the field of social assistance, conducted their evaluations utilising the Swedish concept of “skälig levnadsnivå”, or when translated to english “a reasonable standard of living”. The methodology implemented in the study involved semi-structured interviews with six social workers in vario
In Sweden, climate projections indicate longer growing seasons with more frequent extreme weather events, such as droughts and heavy rainfall, posing significant challenges to existing crop systems. Simultaneously, the sector is under growing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, especially in response to agricultural nutrients runoff contributing to the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea.
The Swedish power grid is experiencing an ever-growing challenge to efficiently balance the grid. An increasing share of intermittent generation, decreased system inertia, continued electrification and more distributed energy resources result in an increasing need for flexibility. Smart grid technologies have, amongst other applications, shown to be a possible solution to this increased need for f
Previous research with typically developing children and adults shows that active control of the learning experience leads to enhanced episodic memory, as compared with conditions lacking this control. The present study investigates whether similar advantages can be found in children with autism spectrum disorder. In this study, 6–12-year-old autistic children (N = 29) participated in a simple mem
The Personal Software Process (PSP) is launched as a means for improving software development capabilities for the individual engineer. It is proposed that it should be used in software engineering curricula: some authors propose it to be used already during the first student year: The PSP course is successfully given for graduate students at Lund University since 1996. During the spring semester
Generalist species are core components of ecological networks and crucial for the maintenance of biodiversity. Generalist species and networks are expected to be more resilient, and therefore understanding the dynamics of specialization and generalization in ecological networks is a key focus in a time of rapid global change. Whilst diet generalization is frequently studied, our understanding of h
