This paper deals with the impact of China on Ukraine and Argentina in relation to their agricultural sector. Both countries are oriented towards export of commodities as a driver for their economic growth. Based on several data sources from world renowned organizations, a comparative analysis is conducted to study the positive and negative effect from the growing relationship of Ukraine and Argent
In the past 30 years, the Chinese government has promoted ownership reform and corporate governance reform to improve the performance of SOEs. Simultaneously, China has come to the era of MOEs. There has been growing empirical studies that consider the effects of corporate governance and state ownership on MOEs’ performance. This study utilized a panel vector autoregression approach to analyze the
Musikteori har alltid varit ett av mina stora intressen. Sedan min gymnasietid har jag intresserat mig för hur undervisningen bedrivs och vilka utvecklingsmöjligheter som finns i ämnet gehörs- och musiklära. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur musikelever vid estetiska programmet uppfattar undervisningen i kursen gehörs- och musiklära 1 samt hur eleverna skulle vilja förändra undervisningen
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the effects on the elements of a company’s brand identity when a firm is moving towards a customer-centric orientation by engaging in the process of servitization. By utilizing a single case study, we aspire to examine how the servitization elements portray the servitization level, as well as which elements of the Corporate Brand Identity Matrix are affecte
Syftet med studien är att undersöka om insulinpumpsbehandling (CSII) är kostnadseffektiv i jämförelse med intensiv injektionsbehandling (MDI) vid diabetes typ-1 enligt svenska riktlinjer. Förhoppningen är att undersökningen ska inspirera framtida studier samt bidra med kunskap inom aktuellt område. Den tidigare hälsoekonomiska forskning som ligger till grund för denna studie jämför CSII med MDI g
Since the 1980s, the Arctic has experienced an amplified warming of more than twice the rate of the global-mean, leading to large-scale changes in the Arctic hydrologic system, ultimately having cascading feedbacks on the global climate. However, few of today’s distributed models manage to capture the complex processes in Arctic hydrology, and therefore, the aim of this thesis was to evaluate the
Denna uppsats ämnar att genom en kvalitativ metod undersöka hierarkier inom sjukvården för att bidra med en mer nyanserad förståelse om hierarkins betydelse för ledarskapsprocessen, det vill säga hur ledarskap konstrueras. För att komma åt fenomenet om hierarkier inom sjukvården har djupintervjuer med sjuksköterskor gjorts eftersom de tycks befinna sig i mitten av det hierarkiska systemet. Det emp
The observed distribution of giant exoplanet eccentricities and inclinations are significantly larger than what is measured for their Solar system analogues, Jupiter and Saturn. Since the first observations of exoplanets, planet-planet scattering has been proposed as a possible mechanism for exciting the eccentricities and inclinations of giant exoplanets. Many works have showed that indeed the ob
One way to make a UV curable ink is to mix a pigment dispersion with monomers, oligomers, photoinitiators and additives. Creating a pigment dispersion is in many cases the first processing step of making a UV curable ink and is of large importance. To process pigment dispersions of Pigment red 2 and Pigment red 122 a premixing step with a dissolver is used followed by a grinding step employing a t
This thesis estimates the returns to schooling in Sweden for working individuals by applying the Mincer equation on three datasets from the International Social Survey Programme and compare the results to assess potential trends. It also investigates if there is any difference in returns to schooling for men and women and if there seem to be any signalling effects present. The estimates indicate t
This thesis looks into cross-cultural in-store marketing and how, with the use of contemporary symbols, marketing messages can cross language barriers. In the context of cosmopolitan cities with large populations of international inhabitants, being able to market to all individuals regardless of linguistic abilities and cultural backgrounds is critical for firms to stay competitive. Simply replaci
3D-modeller är grunden i det som kallas BIM och är något som används mer flitigt inom byggbranschen men desto mindre inom anläggningsprojekt. BIM har utvecklats mer och mer för att underlätta samordningen av flera aktörer och lösa konflikter i olika faser och skeden. Med ytterligare dimensioner integreras även tid och kostnadsaspekten på projektet som resulterar i ett mer produktivt byggande. Gru
This study is an initial attempt to investigate value co-creation in the gaming industry by looking at Value Co-Creation through a framework called The Value Co-Creation Egg. The aim of the framework was to identify the mechanisms of The Consumer and The Company, which ultimately led to a deeper understanding of how these actors operate within the context of The Market. To understand The Consumer,
The study contributes to a body of research on a specific corporate taxation system, distributed profit taxation, by examining whether the system has affected corporate behavior in the long term and if it has, to what extent. The results partly corroborate previous literature but provide new evidence on the long-term effects of distributed profit taxation. We show that compared to classical gross
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 50,000 SNP-trait associations. Most of these SNPs or genetic variants map to noncoding regions, known as or gene desserts. This makes it challenging to describe the mechanism by which the variant confers susceptibility to the trait. Increasingly, there is an interest in characterization and interpretation of the effect of non-coding
Syftet med denna undersökning är att identifiera faktorer som påverkar chefers möjligheter att bidra till ett välfungerande kvalitetsarbete i organisationer. Bristande engagemang och okunskap hos chefer har enligt forskning visat sig vara en av de största anledningarna till att kvalitetsarbete misslyckas. Chefer är viktiga i arbete med kvalitetssäkring av verksamhetsprocesser i organisationer. På
Daylighting has become a fundamental measure not only to decrease the electrical energy demand in buildings, but also to provide good indoor comfort for the occupants. Atria have been implemented in buildings since old times as a space to foster interaction and provide indoor comfort through ventilation and daylight. However, the implementation of this feature can be complex if good natural light
Deciduous forests and especially oak (Quercus robur) and beech (Fagus sylvatica) are very important for biodiversity and provide habitats for many threatened species. They are also good environments for recreation. Bruces forest in Helsingborg is a nature reserve where rejuventation of deciduous forest is a main objective. Hence, this study examined factors influencing rejuvenation, different reju
This study aims to analyse how the Swedish media has been framing the Gállok case and the events surrounding it. Moreover, it seeks to understand which meaning is attributed to the concept of Sámi customary law within the Gállok process and decision-makings. This is done through Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis. They study is based on a theoretical framework that has its starting point in
