Intellektuellt kapital under pandemi och krig : En kvantitativ studie på 90 Large Cap- och Small Cap-företag
No full textTitel: Intellektuellt kapital under pandemi och krig - En kvantitativ studie på 90 Large Cap- och Small Cap-företag Nivå: Examensarbete på grundnivå (kandidatexamen) i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Emma Modin och Emma Carpman Handledare: Veronika Larsson Datum: 2025 - juni Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att analysera Large Cap- och Small Cap-företags frivilliga redovisning av intellektuellt kapital i samband med Covid-19-pandemin och Rysslands invasion av Ukraina. Metod: Vi har använt en kvantitativ metod i form av innehållsanalys i denna studie där ett index av sökord kopplade till intellektuellt kapital skapats. Därefter, med hjälp av binär kodning, har vi undersökt om orden förekommit i 90 börsnoterade svenska företags engelska årsredovisningar från 2018 och 2023. Med datan har vi genomfört t-test, ANOVA-test och regressionsanalys för att undersöka våra hypoteser och besvara studiens syfte. Resultat och slutsats: Studien visar att den frivilliga redovisningen av intellektuellt kapital i snitt har ökat i de 90 svenska företagen från 2018 till 2023. Dessutom visar resultaten att den kategori av intellektuellt kapital företagen redovisade mest efter kriserna var strukturellt kapital. Vidare visar studien att företag noterade på Large Cap redovisade mer intellektuellt kapital än företag noterade på Small Cap både 2018 och 2023. Arbetets bidrag: Studien bidrar till tidigare forskning genom att undersöka den frivilliga redovisningen av intellektuellt kapital i samband med två kriser som inte har studerats tillsammans tidigare. Dessutom bidrar vårt arbete till forskningen kring signaleringsteorin då vi undersöker huruvida stora företag frivilligt redovisar mer intellektuellt kapital än mindre företag, i samband med de studerade kriserna. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Vi föreslår att genomföra en studie lik vår efter att världsläget har stabiliserat sig, för att kunna säkerställa att den ökade redovisningen av intellektuellt kapital beror på de undersökta globala kriserna. Dessutom hade ett kvalitativt arbete eventuellt tydligare kunna hänföra ökningen av intellektuellt kapital till de studerade kriserna.

Method: We have implemented a quantitative method in the form of a content analysis where an index of keywords related to intellectual capital has been created. We have then used binary coding to examine whether the keywords have appeared in 90 Swedish listed companies' English annual reports from 2018 and 2023. Using the data we have conducted t-tests, ANOVA-tests and regression analysis to examine our hypotheses and answer the aim. Results and conclusions: This study shows that the voluntary disclosure level of intellectual capital on average has increased in the 90 Swedish companies from 2018 to 2023. The study also shows that the category of intellectual capital that companies reported the most after the crises was structural capital. Furthermore, the study shows that companies listed on Large Cap reported more intellectual capital than companies listed on Small Cap in both 2018 and 2023. Contribution of the thesis: The study contributes to previous research by examining the voluntary accounting of intellectual capital in connection with two crises that have not been studied together before. Additionally, our work contributes to the research on signaling theory by examining whether large companies voluntarily report more intellectual capital than smaller companies in connection with the studied crises. Suggestions for future research: We propose to conduct a study similar to ours once the global situation has stabilized, to ensure that the increased reporting of intellectual capital is a result of the global crises examined. In addition, qualitative work could possibly more clearly attribute the increase in intellectual capital to the crises studied. Key words: intellectual capital, voluntary disclosure, COVID-19-pandemic, war, global crisi
Emma Tennant. Rozważna i romantyczna
No full textThe article is devoted to the works of Emma Tennant, an English writer, the author of, inter alia, the continuation of Sense and Sensibility, Emma, as well as Pride and Prejudice. A characteristic feature of Tennant’s writing was the ability to give new meanings to the texts and myths of the popular culture – so she did with the story of Elinor and Marianne, or Sylvia Plath, to whom she devoted one of her better texts. The article, based on the example of Emma Tennant’s writing, focuses on the issues of the strategy of creating literature as rewriting and functioning of feminist ideas in the modern literature

Harmonization of global sustainability reporting : what are the opportunities and obstacles?
No full textTitel: Harmonisering av global hållbarhetsredovisning - vilka möjligheter och hinder finns det? Nivå: Examensarbete på grundnivå (kandidatexamen) i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Emma Magnfält och Martina Bäckstedt Handledare: Asif M. Huq Datum: 2024 – Maj Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka möjligheter och hinder för harmonisering av global hållbarhetsredovisning med utgångspunkt i intressenters remissvar till IFRS General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information (IFRS S1). Metod: I denna studie har en kvalitativ metod med en abduktiv forskningsansats tillämpats, som innefattar en innehållsanalys av 39 remissvar avseende feedback på första utkastet av IFRS S1. En jämförelseanalys av utkastet och den utfärdade standarden IFRS S1 har utförts. Resultat och slutsats: Resultatet visade att det finns både likheter och skillnader i de åsikter intressenter har på utkastet till IFRS S1. Skillnader mellan geografiska områden kan hänföras till institutionella faktorer vilka bottnar i tvingande isomorfism och länders olika utvecklingsgrad, medan skillnader mellan intressentgrupper hänförs till normativ isomorfism. Likheter hänvisas till tendenser av normativ isomorfism. Det visade sig även att ISSB kategoriserar intressenter och till viss del tillgodoser intressenternas behov. Examensarbetets bidrag: Studien bidrar med ett aktuellt perspektiv över förutsättningarna för harmonisering av global hållbarhetsredovisning. Bidrag ges även i form av teoretiska insikter i hur såväl tvingande som normativ isomorfism påverkar möjligheterna till harmonisering av global hållbarhetsredovisning. Studien möjliggör ett bredare perspektiv av ISSB:s standardsättarprocess. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Framtida forskning kan undersöka intressentgruppers synpunkter mer djupgående än vad denna studie fick möjlighet att göra, samt undersöka utfallet av den globala hållbarhetsredovisningen som efterföljer den utfärdade IFRS S1.

Level: Student thesis, final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Author: Emma Magnfält and Martina Bäckstedt Supervisor: Asif M. Huq Date: 2024 – May Aim: The purpose of the study is to investigate opportunities and obstacles for harmonizing global sustainability reporting based on stakeholders' comment letters to IFRS General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information (IFRS S1). Method: In this study, a qualitative method with an abductive research approach has been applied, which includes a content analysis of 39 comment letters regarding feedback on the first draft of IFRS S1. A comparative analysis of the draft versus the issued standard IFRS S1 has been made. Results and conclusions: The results of the study showed similarities and differences in the feedback stakeholders left for the draft of IFRS S1. Differences of opinions in geographical areas stems from institutional factors created by coercive isomorphism and countries' different developmental stages. Differences between stakeholder groups relate to tendencies of normative isomorphism. Similarities of opinions also depend on normative isomorphism. The study also revealed that ISSB categorizes stakeholder groups and accommodates stakeholder needs to a certain degree. Contribution of the thesis: The study contributes with an updated perspective of harmonizing global sustainability reporting. Theoretical contributions are given through the insights in how coercive and normative isomorphism affects the possibilities for harmonizing global sustainability reporting. The study brings insights into ISSB's standard-setting process. Suggestions for future research: Future research can examine the views of stakeholder groups in more depth than this study was able to, as well as investigate the outcome of global sustainability reporting that follows the issued IFRS S1. Key words: Harmonization, sustainability reporting, stakeholder theory, institutional theory, isomorphism, country-of-origin effec

A Translation of Song Lyric ‘Ignore’ by Emma Heesters
No full textIn this study, I will outline the strategy Emma Heesters employed as she attempted to translate Rizki Febian’s song Cuek into Ignore’s lyrics, regardless of whether she adopted a translation strategy that concentrated on the source or destination language. This essay also seeks to investigate the justification for the translation method. For this work, the author used a case study design and a qualitative research approach. The original and Emma Heesters’ translation of the lyrics to a Cuek song served as the study’s participants. The song lyrics were collected in both their English and Indonesian versions by the author using a documented technique to get the data. The author used Newmark’s theory to examine the data. The findings of this study show that, despite some song lyrics emphasizing the source language, the translation technique mostly concentrated on the target language. Therefore, the necessity to harmonize the translation’s intonation or tone with the music could account for Emma Heesters’ predisposition to stress the target language when translating. The fact that some lyrics were rewritten to better suit the female singer, whereas the original version was performed by a male singer, also played a role in this
Emma Bovary, a personagem
No full textTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.Curso de Licenciatura e Bacharelado em Língua Portuguesa e Literaturas em Língua PortuguesaEm 1857, Gustave Flaubert publica o romance Madame Bovary. Por esta obra, ele foi processado por ofender a moral pública. A obra possui uma protagonista intrigante. Emma Bovary, uma personagem que abalou a muitos em pleno século XIX. Uma personagem que quase não fala, mas sente profundamente cada momento de sua história. Emma Bovary chamou a atenção dos psicanalistas e nela foi inspirado o bovarismo, um tema que parece retrógado, mas explica muito do contemporâneo. O meu objetivo é analisar essa personagem tão polêmica, Emma Bovary. Ela possui uma peculiaridade singular muito bem trabalhada e construída por Gustave Flaubert, que retrata a vida de uma mulher provinciana, francesa e burguesa do século XIX diante de uma sociedade medíocre e moralista que valorizava apenas a ascensão econômica e social. Esta análise tem como objetivo principal avaliar o contexto que influenciou o autor na construção da personagem feminina da obra e identificar os aspectos sociais, psicológicos e históricos tendo como base uma sociedade patriarcal do século XIX. E com isso, almejo compreender o ideal de sociedade que se tem até nossos dias, uma sociedade construída pelo Estado e pela Igreja, através do olhar de uma mulher construída em meio a uma classe que se consolidava, a burguesia.In 1857, Gustave Flaubert published the novel Madame Bovary. For this work he was sued for offending public morals. The work has an intriguing protagonist. Emma Bovary, a character that shook many in the mid-nineteenth century. A character who barely speaks, but deeply feels every moment of his story. Emma Bovary drew the attention of the psychoanalysts and it was inspired by the bovarysme, a theme that seems retrograde, but explains much of the contemporary. My goal is to analyze this highly controversial character, Emma Bovary. It has a singular peculiarity very well worked and constructed by Gustave Flaubert, that portrays the life of a provincial, french and bourgeois woman of century XIX before a mediocre and moralistic society that valued only the economic and social ascension. This analysis has as main objective to evaluate the context that influenced the author in the construction of the feminine character of the work and to identify the social, psychological and historical aspects based on a patriarchal society of the XIX century. And with this, I aim to understand the ideal of society that we have to this day, a society built by the State and the Church, through the eyes of a woman built in the middle of a class that was consolidated, the bourgeoisie
It feels (w)ri(gh)t(e) to me: feminist identity and academic writing
No full textThis project examines the struggles many feminists encounter with traditional forms of academic writing and attempts to understand the work of Audre Lorde as offering a potential alternative mode of writing. The difficulties experienced include disciplinary conventions and expectations and the violent nature of argument as it is currently taught. Freedom of voice and the significance and role of audience also figure into this discussion. By focusing my close reading of Lorde’s work on “Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power” and “Poetry is Not a Luxury,” I examine her use of the erotic as a mode of writing which allows us to connect to ourselves and to one another. These connections enable us to eliminate difference, hatred and discrimination within the text, thus further enabling any feminist thesis or project within it. Finally, by way of offering some sort of a conclusion, I propose the following three tools as crucial to enacting an erotic mode of writing: multiple subjectivity, embodied knowledge and a rhizomatic understanding of knowledge production. While each feminist subject must inhabit hir writing in hir own way, by honoring each difference in the process and writing through love, we allow feminist work to not only articulate but also embody the fight to end all oppressions.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Casely Emma Coa
