Purpose: This paper aims to find a piece of empirical evidence explaining the relationship between the target firm’s ESG score and business operation risk. Methodology: This paper not only uses the benchmark regression method to explore the direct impact, mechanism, and boundary conditions of corporate ESG performance on operating risks, but also further explores the impact of ESG scores on opera

This paper studies heterogeneity in the euro area transmission mechanism as dependent on financial development. The topic is interesting, and research on it may provide answers to questions such as how member states can reduce their inflation rate. The hypothesis is that responses of inflation and output to discretionary monetary policy are larger in member states with a higher level of financial

Artikeln undersöker människors förhållningssätt till uppslagsverk och encyklopedier i ett livshistoriskt perspektiv under en period när encyklopedier har genomgått dramatiska förändringar. En frågelista som skickats till fasta så kallade meddelare knutna till Folklivsarkivet i Lund har använts som metod. Svaren har analyserats med hjälp av posthumanistisk teori. Analysen visar de sätt som tryckta Encyclopaedias are artefacts that both define and are defined by the culture in which they are produced and used. Encyclopaedias mirror the time of their creation, at the same time as understanding and use of encyclopaedias is tied to both time and space. From the 19th century until the present day encyclopaedias have changed from exclusive and costly Collections of books kept mainly in libraries

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Few modifiable risk factors have been implicated in the etiology of pancreatic cancer. There is little evidence for the effects of caffeinated coffee, decaffeinated coffee, or tea intake on risk of pancreatic cancer. We investigated the association of total coffee, caffeinated coffee, decaffeinated coffee, and tea consumption with risk of pancreatic cancer. METHODS: This stu

A search is presented for gluinos decaying via the supersymmetric partner of the top quark using events with two same-sign leptons, jets, and missing transverse momentum. The analysis is performed with 2: 05 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity from pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. No excess beyond the standard model expectation is observed, and exclusion limi

A search is presented for new particles decaying to large numbers (7 or more) of jets, with missing transverse momentum and no isolated electrons or muons. This analysis uses 20.3 fb(-1) of p p collision data at root s = 8 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The sensitivity of the search is enhanced by considering the number of b-tagged jets and the scalar sum of ma

A measurement of spin correlation in tt[over ¯] production is presented using data collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb^{-1}. The correlation between the top and antitop quark spins is extracted from dilepton tt[over ¯] events by using the difference in th

The spectrum of six times ionized sulphur, S VII, has been investigated in the wavelength region 200-4000 Angstrom by means of the beam-foil and laser-produced plasma techniques. The analysis comprises 219 lines of which 105 are newly identified. The present work establishes 123 2s(2)2p(5)nl energy levels of which 66 are new. The level energies are determined with an internal consistency of better

While several techniques exist for assessing quantitative differences among proteomes representing different cell states, methods for assessing how these differences are mediated are largely missing. We present a method that allows one to differentiate between cellular processes, such as protein synthesis, degradation and PTMs which affect protein concentrations. An induced systemic perturbation o

The Sahel has emerged as a global hotspot for terrorist activity during the first decades of the 21st century. Few empirical studies have been carried out to investigate the causes of this phenomenon. The overarching literature on the determinants of terrorism has also failed to establish conclusive mechanisms and channels of causation. Studies have found economic shocks to increase the likelihood

Tropicalizing a technology entail adapting it to a tropical climate. This paper analyzes how an innovative solution for decarbonization – the green hydrogen - is introduced to Costa Rica. This research examines a niche trying to enter a sector under construction, contributing to the growing literature about this emerging sector. This thesis deeply examines the green hydrogen niche, building an inn

Corruption has for long been considered a major constraint on economic growth and international trade. In protectionist countries however, it has been shown that corruption can have a trade enhancing effect. By measuring corruption’s influence on the trade levels of the countries in the Western Balkans, I have in this thesis aimed to test the extent to which corruption hinders trade, and whether c

In this thesis the effects of innovation on employment, at industry level, for the Brazilian economy are investigated. Merging data from Innovation Surveys, Industrial Surveys and the National Account System, a panel of 22 economic sectors was constructed. The main empirical results indicates that demand factors has positive and significant effect on employment while product innovation has a negat

The wind energy industry is growing rapidly and as offshore wind expands in the Baltic sea, more and more clusters will be observed. The purpose of this work is to better understand the impact that wakes have on the electricity production for wind farm clusters in the Southern Middle Bank region. This report aims to answer the following research questions; 1) How big of an impact do wakes have on

In this report we present the testing and development made using the Lund Observatory Vacuum Echelle Spectrograph (LOVES) during the last few years. Hardware development includes an assembly from base components due to relocation and necessary calibrations of the optics. Software devel- opment includes the making of a basic image processing pipeline for the instrument. The testing of LOVES wavelen
