Purpose: To examine the wealth-generating effects of LBO exits from the PEs perspective depending on different exit strategies, and to identify how private sponsors’ features like historical performance, size, experience etc. might influence the success of the exit as well as the exit route choice. Methodology: A short-term event study to detect a cumulative abnormal return around LBO exit announc

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

Authors: Karin Lindsjö and Johanna Rydiander Title: Leadership in social work: A study of requested variables regarded middle level leaders during recruitment [translated title] Supervisor: Kristina Göransson Assessor: Staffan Blomberg Although working as a leader at middle level within social work is an interesting research area with its complex nature, there is not much science regarding this f

Frågan om hur skuld ska bedömas då en person som varit tillfälligt sinnesförvirrad begår en straffbelagd handling är ett klassiskt straffrättsligt problem. I detta arbete undersöks hur den svenska rätten ser på när förvirringstillståndet beror på en berusning, närmare bestämt hur straffansvaret ser ut vid självförvållat rus. Här presenteras olika tolkningar som framförts i doktrinen både i de legeThe issue of how legal liability should be assessed when a temporarily insane person commits a punishable offense is a classical problem within criminal law. How the Swedish law regards a state of confusion caused by intoxication will be examined in this thesis. More specifically what is the criminal liability regarding self-induced intoxication? Different interpretations expressed both in de lege

Denna uppsats analyserar hur synen på straffets ändamål kommer till ut- tryck i Straffreformutredningen (SOU 2025:66 En straffreform). Syftet är att undersöka vilka straffteoretiska principer som får störst genomslag i utred- ningen och dess tillhörande direktiv, samt vad denna riktning reflekterar för grundläggande föreställningar om straffets funktion. Särskilt fokus ligger på hur straff, i synnThis thesis analyses how the purpose of punishment is articulated in ”Straff- reformutredningen”(the report for the proposed criminal law reform in Swe- den, SOU 2025:66). The aim is to examine which penal theories gain the greatest influence in the report and what this direction reflects in terms of underlying conceptions of the purpose of punishment. Particular attention is paid to how punishmen

Denna studie syftar till att belysa vad chefer anser vara viktigt för ett framgångsrikt ledarskap, detta med målet att ge nya perspektiv på ledarskap för chefer så att de kan utvecklas och ha en större förståelse för hur andra chefer tänker kring ledarskap. Den ger även praktiska exempel på hur andra chefer leder som kan ge inspiration till att fler chefer leder framgångsrikt. Genom en kvalitativ This study aims to illustrate what managers consider important for a successful leadership, with the goal to highlight new perspectives on leadership for managers so they can develop and have a greater understanding of how other managers think about leadership. It also provides practical examples of how other managers lead that can inspire more managers to lead successfully. Through a qualitative

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. In March 2020 COVID-19 became a pandemic. The pandemic put a big strain on healthcare all over the world but especially intensive care units and the critical care nurses who had to take care of an unusually large number of patients. Aim: To highlight critical care nurses' experiences of working during the COVID-19 pande

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

I Sveriges storstäder råder idag stor bostadsbrist och byggandet av bostäder räcker inte till. Ett steg i arbetet med att möta det stora behovet av bostäder är att genomföra förtätningar. Lagar och regler har dock problematiserat och förhindrat många planerade förtätningsprojekt, vilket avsevärt försvårat arbetet med att bygga bort bostadsbristen. Ett av regelverken som utgör hinder mot förtätningA great shortage of housing is currently apparent in Sweden's major cities. To meet this need for housing, densification strategies are implemented. However, laws and regulations have complicated and prevented many planned densification projects, making the issue with housing shortage more difficult to address. One of the regulations that preclude densification of housing is the regulatory sys

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 master thesis presents a suggested Renovation Passport for two typical 1960s single-family houses. Following the recently approved Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EU 2024/1275A), all member states are to implement voluntary Renovation Passports by 2026, which will aid in reaching the 2050 goal of a decarbonized building stock. The aim of Renovation Passports is to provide long-ter

Den 19 februari 2026 presenterade 2025 års förverkandeutredning (Förverkandeutredningen) sitt betänkande. Förverkandeutredningen fick sitt uppdrag av regeringen bland annat till följd av utveckling på unionsnivå. Förslagen är också en del av en större och längre trend som handlar om att fokusera på de ekonomiska drivkrafterna bakom den organiserade och ekonomiska brottsligheten. Bland förslagen iOn 19 February 2026, the 2025 Confiscation Inquiry (the Confiscation In-quiry) presented its report. The Confiscation Inquiry was commissioned by the Government partly due to developments at the EU level. The proposals in the report are also part of a broader and longer-term trend towards targeting the economic drivers behind organised and economic crime. Among the proposals in the report is one

Since 2018, the Swedish housing market has exhibited a paradoxical development in which a persistent housing shortage coexists with increasing vacancies. The simultaneous progression of these seemingly anti-correlated trends raises important questions regarding the functioning of the residential real estate sector. This thesis examines why the residential Swedish rental market continues to produce

Urban spaces should be resilient, inclusive and safe for all residents including children, elderly and vulnerable groups. This implies that urban planning, management and design should provide public spaces that support human needs of active mobility, social interaction and psychological restoration across seasonal and diurnal variation in natural light. Environmental psychology postulates that an

Despite apparently favourable conditions for investment in the bioenergy sector provided by sustained high oil prices and a multitude of policy support measures throughout the EU that are ostensibly intended to create improved economic conditions, many industrialists and investors are still apparently wary of engagement. National policy interventions intended to support and to expand the bioenergy

The aim of this article is to articulate how legal processes, that produce assumptions about social realities which subsequently shape relations of inequality and oppression, may be explored using a critical legal cartographic approach. Critical cartography points to the duality of representation and construction that is innate to cartography, i.e. when portraying reality, maps are also making it.The aim of this article is to articulate how legal processes, that produce assumptions about social realities which subsequently shape relations of inequality and oppression, may be explored using a critical legal cartographic approach.
