The use of test coverage measures (e.g., block coverage) to control the software test process has become an increasingly common practice. This is justified by the assumption that higher test coverage helps achieve higher defect coverage and therefore improves software quality. In practice, data often shows that defect coverage and test coverage grow over time, as additional testing is performed. H
In male birds, testosterone (T) plays an important role in aggressive and mate-attraction behaviour. In the cooperatively breeding Seychelles warbler, Acrocephalus sechellensis, extra-group copulations (EGCs) occur frequently, but are not accompanied by sexual courtship displays as in within-pair copulations. Paternity is nearly always gained by primary males. We investigated whether T levels and
This investigation aims at estimating the effect of a regulation over operating hours of hagwon on private tutoring expenditures in Korea. The average treatment effect is measured with a difference-in-differences (DD) estimator using data from the survey of private education expenditure, conducted by the Statistics Korea (KOSTAT). By exploiting the fact that all education offices have placed a res
Tillgången till rent dricksvatten varierar mellan olika delar i världen. Till exempel är grundvat- ten en stor resurs i Sverige där det står för 50 % av dricksvattnet, både artificiellt och naturligt bildat. Den siffran är endast 6 % i Moçambique och med tanke på att 47 % av populationen i landet saknar rent dricksvatten kan artifici- ell grundvattenbildning vara ett bra alternativ. Det finns olikThe amount of clean drinking water varies across different parts of the world. For example is groundwa- ter a big resource in Sweden and stands for 50% of the drinking water, both artificially and naturally recharged. The corresponding fraction is only about 6% in Mozambique and considering that 47% of the population in Mozam- bique lacks clean drinking water artificial recharge might be a good op
In the contemporary or so-called “post-2012” period of climate governance, the question of what a new future climate agreement might entail has arisen in conjunction with the initiation of negotiations on the Durban Platform on Enhanced Action in the climate regime. In parallel to this, larger states, industrial countries as well as developing countries are now dominating the UNFCCC process, seeki

The evaluation criteria of whether stop-loss strategies can deliver better results are defined as return and volatility. The study is conducted on daily equity returns data for stocks listed on the OMX Stockholm 30 Index during the t

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka om frihandelsavtalet Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (förkortat TTIP) kommer orsaka det dess kritiker kallar ”regulatory chill”. Förhandlingar om avtalet pågår för närvarande mellan EU och USA. TTIP kommer nästan säkert innehålla regler om investeringsskydd och en klausul om tvistlösning i investeringstvister, vilket är sedvanligt i frThis essay sets out to investigate whether the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP for short) might cause what its critics call a ”regulatory chill”. The TTIP is a free trade agreement currently being negotiated between the EU and the US. The TTIP will almost certainly, like most FTAs, contain provisions on investment protection and dispute settlement. The instrument most commonl
This thesis is about the scope of protection for the right to strike. Despite the fundamental nature of the right in protecting the dignity of the worker and achieving social justice, the level of protection of the right to strike differs in different jurisdictions around the world claiming detrimental effects of strikes to the society and different stake-holders. Inspired by the longest rail work
With reference to the exposure and violence Ugandan street children are effected by, this paper aims to form an understanding as well as provide insight on the construction of the concepts “violence” and “pain” in the discursive field of Ugandan street children. It then aims to place the findings in Jonathan Wolff and Avner De-Shalit's function theory. Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s disco
En stor andel av vuxna svenskar planerar under sitt yrkesamma liv för sin ekonomi när de slutar arbeta genom att pensionsspara. Även lagstiftaren anser det vara viktigt att det planeras för framtiden och lämnar skattekredit till dem som väljer att pensionsspara genom pensionsförsäkring eller individuellt pensionssparande. Då man pensionssparar just för att få en bättre ekonomisk situation på ålderA large proportion of Swedish adults plan for their economy while working by saving for the retirement. The legislator also establishes the importance of planning for the future by granting a tax credit for those who choose to save for the retirement in certain products defined by law. The legal protection of capital savings when saving for a better financial situation when you reach retirement is
Nya föreskrifter utfärdade av Arbetsmiljöverket träder i kraft 31 mars 2016 och kommer att upphäva bland annat föreskrifterna om kränkande särbehandling i arbetslivet. Bestämmelserna om kränkande särbehandling har för första gången prövats i Krokom-fallet, som än idag är det enda rättsfall som berör psykosocial arbetsmiljö. Huvudsyftet med uppsatsen har varit att redogöra för gällande rätt avseeNew regulations issued by the Swedish Work Environment Authority will enter into force on the 31 March 2016 and will repeal, inter alia, the provisions on emotional abuse in the workplace. The provisions on emotional abuse have first been tried in the Krokom case, which is still the only legal case involving psychosocial work environment in Sweden. The main purpose of this essay has been to descr
Global climate change is probably the biggest challenge of our century, and even though research has attempted to uncover the social forces driving the emission of carbon, there is a lack of consensus among scholars. Some empirical research states that carbon emissions are lower in countries where women have higher political status. Others suggest that it is higher income inequality that explains
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vuxenmobbning på arbetsplatsen inom Försvarsmakten ur ett genusperspektiv. Upplever kvinnor på en mansdominerad arbetsplats såsom Försvarsmakten sig oftare utsatta för mobbning än vad män gör? Begreppet arbetsrelaterad mobbning definieras som upprepade, negativa handlingar som förlöjligar, isolerar och kan leda till att den anställde fördrivs från arbetspl
The Common Agricultural Policy is one of the most important policies within the European Union. However, the support from CAP have had some unexpected consequences for the environment. Major changes were made in 2003 regarding the way payments were given to farmers, in order to reduce the environmental impact of agricultural production. The support was made decoupled, which basically meant a great
The world is urbanising at an unprecedented rate. Cities are perceived to be potential solutions as well as causes of the many problems our society faces. On the one hand, cities are considered the driving forces of prosperity through innovation, wealth creation and growth. On the other hand, cities are perceived to be the roots of urgent environmental and social issues. In fact, the very notion o
This study is based on discourse analysis establishing the discursive setting of four Swedish NGO participants of the EU Civil Society Platform against Trafficking in Human Beings, the Swedish Police and the EU Platform itself. By analysing the discursive setting through a social constructivist social theory I discuss what impact discourses have on the normative portrayal of the trafficking phenom
Direct tax harmonisation in the EU is the next and perhaps the last step towards complete economic integration after the creation of Economic and Monetary Union. However, because of political sensitivity of taxation only indirect taxes are harmonised in the EU, while direct tax competition between Member States stays. Countries are still free to introduce various tax incentives in order to attract
