  1. 1. Independent boardmembers - a recipe to reduce agency costs? : An explanatory study on Swedish firms listed on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm Large Cap

    University essay from Jönköping University/IHH, Företagsekonomi

    Author : Alice Brenner; Anna Ringqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : Agency costs; Independent Board Members; Board Composition; Principal-Principal costs; The Swedish Corporate Governance Code;

    Abstract : Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explain how the share of independent boardmembers, controlling for different forms of independence, and agency costs correlate within Swedish firms listed on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm list for large firms. The goal is to extend the understanding of board independence in relation to agency costs while adding empirical insight into the Swedish Code requirements on the board of directors. READ MORE

  3. 2. Polymer gel dosimetry - Using MRI-readout, simplified relatively non-toxic mixing procedure tested on FLASH

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Maria Blomstedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background: One of the polymer gel dosimeters available today is the N-isopropylamide (NIPAM) polymer gel dosimeter which has a less toxic monomer compared to other polymer gels and the advantage of being able to be manufactured under normal oxygen levels. Polymer gel dosimeters in general are advantageous independent dosimeters to use for verification of new radiation treatment techniques due to its favorable qualities such as very high resolution, 3D coverage, tissue equivalence and independence of energy and incident direction of the radiation beam.

  5. 4. Maternal behaviour of the snow leopard (Panthera uncia) : Den use, post-denning behaviour, position success rate, home range size and daily movement

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Olivia Pålsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Cub development; daily movement; den; den use; denning behaviours; home range size; Panthera uncia; position success rate; post-denning; reproductive behaviours; snow leopard;

    Abstract : Knowledge about a species’ reproductive parameters such as breeding behaviours is a vital building block for essential conservation actions, especially for endangered species. Despite this, there is a considerable knowledge gap about the snow leopard (Panthera uncia) maternal behaviours, as well as the timing of den independence for the cubs. READ MORE

  6. 5. Design of a High Subsonic Nozzle for a Transonic Linear Cascade Operating at Near Stall Conditions

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : César Lucio; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the results of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) design calculations of a subsonic nozzle operating at Mach number 0.85 in a transonic linear cascade wind tunnel. The purpose of the nozzle is to accelerate a fluid by decreasing the pressure energy and raising the kinetic one. READ MORE
