This study investigates the effect of remediation of contaminated sites on nearby property prices in Västra Götaland, Sweden. Using a hedonic property framework combined with a multi-period Difference-in-Differences method, the aim is to examine whether remediation leads to measurable changes in housing values. The analysis builds on the approach used by Haninger, Ma, and Timmins (2017), but appli
Bioenergy is perceived to play a vital role in climate mitigation, transition to renewable energy consumption, energy security, and local and rural socio-economic development. However, exploiting renewable bioenergy resources may need to be more sustainable in the current predominant paradigm. In this study, we raise two broad research questions: (1) what are the significant challenges to the curr
In recent decades, working with computers has evolved from a specialized area to a requirement at most workplaces. Information systems also change regularly and employees have to adapt to new computer systems. However all individuals do not like computer work and the concept of computer anxiety describes human attitudes to computers. This study examined how computer anxiety is influenced by an inf
This paper examines the relation between violent conflicts and democratization in Georgia. Since independence in 1991, Georgia has grown towards increased democratization but within the political transition, many obstacles, in form of violent conflicts and war have threatened the country. In the Democratization and War theory, Mansfield & Snyder argues that increased democracy increases the ri
The increasingly competitive climate has caused companies to pursue counteractive strategies such as M&As in the hope to attain synergy potential. However, M&As are associated with a high failure rate and synergy realization is often unsuccessful. One area poorly covered in previous literature and often unattended by merging parties is synergies within logistics, despite its significance f
The question of environmental protection has lately become essential due to the increased number of polluters and accidents that have occurred in recent decades. The starting point was the Torrey Canyon disaster which happened in March 1967 and exposed the entire international community to a great danger of environmental harm in general and marine pollution in particular. The accident also pointed

Enligt svensk rätt ska utländska äktenskap erkännas om de är giltiga enligt lagen i det land de ingåtts. Undantaget till detta är om äktenskapet går emot svensk ordre public. Huruvida så är fallet för polygami är fortfarande osäkert. Det här arbetet kommer inte beröra huruvida Sverige bör ha en begränsning på antal äktenskap eller inte, utan fokus ligger på den svenska hanteringen av utländska pol
Mantle plumes are subject of a great discussion within the field of Geology. Do they really exist, and in that case, from where do they originate? The scope of this Bachelor thesis is to discuss the characteristics of mantle plumes and the arguments in favor of and against their proposed existence. The mantle plume hypothesis was first presented in 1971 by Jason Morgan, suggesting diapirs of hot r
Biotechnological tools have never been stronger than today and the data they provide is absolutely fascinating. As we get a clearer picture of the intricate workings of living systems eective mathematical and statistical tools become a necessity in order to reach a comprehensive understanding of said systems. The purpose of this thesis is to statistically explore cutting edge biomedical data taken
En aktieägare har inget personligt betalningsansvar för aktiebolagets förpliktelser. Bolagets borgenärer har således endast bolagsförmögenheten som säkerhet för sina fordringar på bolaget. På grund av detta är det viktigt att en sådan förmögenhet tillförs bolaget då det bildas och att denna förmögenhet sedan stannar kvar i bolaget under verksamhetens gång, detta för att skydda borgenärerna. Det ärA shareholder has no personal liability for the obligations of the limited company. The creditors of the company have only the company assets as a collateral for their claims against the company. Therefor, it is important that capital is contributed to the company when it is founded and that the capital stays in the company during the activity, and this to protect the creditors.

Responsibility to Protect is a principle that has developed from a report written by ICISS in 2001. The report was inspired by a statement of Kofi Annan where he questioned how the international community would stop another incident like Rwanda or Srebrenica. Since then many situations have occurred that has challenged the concept of R2P. The debate about humanitarian interventions based on intern
Svenska kommuner befinner sig just nu i en ansträngd ekonomisk situation med både brist på ekonomiska resurser och personal. Samtidigt råder det en efterfrågan på bostäder och i 180 av 290 svenska kommuner råder det ett underskott på bostadsmarknaden. Till följd av den begränsade resurstillgången måste kommunerna därmed prioritera vilket innebär att de måste fördela sina resurser till det som anseSwedish municipalities are currently in a constrained economic situation with a shortage of both financial resources and personnel. The municipalities hold a zoning monopoly, and due to the limited financial resources they have to prioritize within their physical planning to ensure they allocate their resources on what is most important. The aim of this thesis is to create an understanding of how
The Covid-19 crisis presents an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of fiscal policy by investigating how fiscal stimuli aided recovery from the pandemic in Sweden. As Covid-19 have led to increased concerns of unsustainable debt levels, questions of how government spending has affected the economic rebound and fiscal sustainability arises. To tackle these questions, I evaluate pre-existing
