Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) for hazardous materials facilities remains dominated by event tree partitioning into discrete scenarios, with many calculations performed manually. This study formalizes the classical individual and societal risk metrics within the framework of probability theory. The resulting framework enables deeper theoretical inquiry and makes underlying assumptions explicit.
The central area of Stenshuvud national park in southern Sweden was surveyed regarding the lichen species composition and distribution. Similar qualitative investigations of the area have been carried out in the years 1934 and 1987, although this survey further included a quantitative survey of relative frequency per species to enable more accurate monitoring in the future. Together, the three s
This study unravels discursive formulations of lobbying and transparency in the aftermath of Qatargate to better understand the relationship between lobbyists, corruption scandals, and transparency frameworks in the European Union. Using Foucault’s interpretive analytics operationalized by CDA and semi-structured interviews with Public Affairs practitioners and MEPs in Brussels, this inquiry argue
In the time of an increasing climate crisis, governments are faced with finding feasible solutions to environmental challenges. One such solution is the shift away from fossil fuels towards renewable also known as green technologies – a green transition. Renewable technologies demand vast amounts of minerals for their production which cannot be met by land mining alone. As a response to this incre
This thesis aims to illustrate how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores influence both shareholder perception of firm performance and actual firm performance within Emerging Market Multinational Enterprises (EMNEs). As sustainability becomes a priority in global markets, EMNEs are often subject to increased investor scrutiny due to distinctive challenges and standards present within
The purpose of this study is to examine how the Swedish court of law determined intent in cases of sexual and traffic offences where the defendant claimed to have acted whilst being in a state of somnambulism. The starting point of intent assessment is permeated with uncertainty about the defendant’s level of consciousness. Since there is a significant lack of guiding practice in cases of this nat
Mental health issues among Swedish school children are a recurring concern. Although school health teams are legally assigned to primarily work on health promotion and prevention, previous evaluations have found these efforts to be insufficient. Based on our own observations during a school-based internship, we noticed how school nurses and school counselors carry out this work differently. The ai
Purpose: To examine how various share buyback types affect the immediate stock returns of financial institutions in a cross-country comparison following the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: Panel data regression with fixed and random effects models, analyzing stock returns on announcement dates. Control variables include buyback value, market capitalization, and leverage ratio. Theoretical perspec
