The study has seen widespread acclaim, but very little replication. This study replicates parts of Claudia Goldin’s work,
Med anledning av att Skatteverket uttalat att inkomster från köp av sexuella tjänster ska beskattas hos säljaren syftar denna uppsats till att utreda vilka skyddsintressen som ligger bakom kriminaliseringen bakom brottet köp av sexuell tjänst samt hur de relaterar till skatterättens syften och principer.

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
CYP27A1 is an important enzyme in cholesterol catabolism and bile acid biosynthesis. Deficiency of this enzyme in human leads to the disease Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX), which is a recessively inherited lipid storage disorder characterized by symptoms such as cataracts, tendon xanthomas and progressive neurological syndrome. The underlying cause for the neurological symptoms is not well u
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the ongoing refugee ‘crisis’ in the EU, arguing that the EU’s approach towards the refugee issue largely speaks for the establishment of a new phase of migration in Europe. As opposed to the previous phase in the aftermath of the Cold War where a common European refugee policy was evident, today, each of the Union’s member-states seems to emphasize on i

Wishing to address these gaps, this thesis examines the implementation of the principles by Swe
The sociotechnical systems that present societies operate within fail to address sustainability which contributes to the exacerbation of environmental, societal, and economic injustices.

Quantum teleportation is a way to transfer a quantum state between two locations, by utilizing a shared entangled state, measurements and the ability to communicate measurement outcomes between the two locations. This thesis consists of a theoretical investigation of an experiment that would implement quantum teleportation using single-electron states in mesoscopic architectures. First, we studied
This literature study aims at identifying potential methods of extracting heavy metals from dredged sediments stemming from a harbor in Oskarshamn municipality, Sweden.

This thesis investigates the relationship between automation and deindustrialisation in the context of Brazil, a developing country experiencing significant structural economic changes. While automation is often associated with productivity growth and economic advancement, its implications for employment, particularly in emerging economies, remain contested. Drawing on the Lewis 2.0 framework and
För att förhindra materiellt oriktiga domar, tillämpas ett högt beviskrav. Allmänhetens rättstrygghet får därmed ge vika för den tilltalades rättighet att inte utsättas för en risk att bli felaktigt dömd. Vidare har den tilltalade enligt art 6 EKMR en rätt till tystnad under rättegången. Följaktligen kan en domstol inte basera en fällande dom enbart på den tilltalades tystnad. Utifrån en rättsdogmA high standard of proof is used in criminal trials to prevent erroneous convictions. The accused has the right not to be exposed to the risk of being wrongfully convicted. A criminal defendant who is being prosecuted also has a right to silence. Thus it is incompatible with the right to silence to base a conviction solely on the defendant’s silence. This paper examines whether the standard of pro
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 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

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.
