People in Hong Kong continues to wrestle with the configuration of national identity and local distinctiveness, even though the fact of handover from the British to China was settled long ago. In the recent decade, several large-scale political protests have witnessed the hostile sentiments from Hong Kong people towards the central government and their shrinking attachments to the nation. The 2019
Klimatkompensation, är det en avdragsgill kostnad? För några år sedan skickade Saltå Kvarn AB in sin deklaration till Skatteverket. Saltå begärde avdrag för klimatkompenserande utgifter, Saltå ansåg det vara en avdragsgill kostnad för att förvärva eller bibehålla intäkter i enlighet med 16kal 1§ Inkomstskattelagen, utfallet blev minst sagt negativt. Fyra år senare försökte Arla Foods AB sig på saClimate compensation, a deductible expense? A few years ago, Saltå Kvarn AB sent in its declaration to the Swedish Tax Agency. Saltå re-quested a deduction for climate-compensating expenses, Saltå considered it to be a deducti-ble expense for acquiring or maintaining income in accordance with the chapter 16th para-graph 1, Income Tax Act, the outcome was negative to say the least. Four years late
Purpose – This paper aims to improve the understanding how entrepreneurs practice inexpensive marketing by utilising human and social capital instead of financial resources. Methodology – This study was conducted following a qualitative methodology. The data was collected in seven semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs who have made use of inexpensive marketing concepts and methods. We ana
Many premature deaths and health problems could be prevented by adhering to a healthy diet, however, many people lack the self-regulation needed for maintaining healthy behaviors. Goal-conflicting situations (i.e., when a person needs to decide between one of two conflicting goals) are an obstacle for self-regulation, while coping planning is found to be useful in these situations since it entails
When referring to the same event, people can have different assumptions. What is interesting to see is why these assumptions are different, why do people have different stories? Some of the reasons could be different levels of expectation, different communication channels or even different cultural backgrounds. We have analysed all these by having a case study within a company that has recently go

Skiljeförfarandet har länge varit och kommer även i framtiden vara ett mycket attraktivt alternativ av konfliktlösning inom näringslivet. Framför allt p.g.a. dess effektivitet. I svensk rätt kan en skiljedom vara ogiltig vid uppenbara överträdelser av konkurrensrätten så som stridande mot ordre public. Efter EG-domstolens uttalande i Eco Swiss-målet har det dock ifrågasatts om kravet på uppenbarheInternational commercial arbitration has for a long time been and will continue to be an attractive form of dispute resolution for businesses. This is mainly due to its effectiveness. In Sweden an award might be annulled when the arbitrators grossly violates competitive law as a means of public policy. After the European Court of Justice’s judgement in the Eco Swiss-case has the question been rais
Fara för trichotecener i spannmål? med fokus på T-2/HT-2 Det går att undvika bekämpningsmedel i våra livsmedel eftersom det finns ekologiskt odlade livsmedel. Däremot går det inte att undvika mykotoxiner. De bildas av svampar. I spannmål påträffas bland annat mykotoxinet T-2/HT-2 som tillhör mykotoxingruppen trichotecener och kommer från svampsläktet Fusarium. Riskanalys är den vedertagna metodenThe process of how a maximum level is created for mycotoxins in the European Union is described here. The focus is on the mycotoxin T-2/HT-2 that is formed by Fusarium, a fungus that infects grains. T-2/HT-2 has been an issue for a long time without having a maximum level. This literature study will give an overview of how the process of creating a maximum level works. Risk analysis is the name
Representations of librarians have appeared in popular culture for a long time. Previous research has found that the most common image of the librarian is the spinster, but only a smaller part of the research has focused on the underlying causes. Drawing inspiration from Radford and Radfords (1997) article ”Power Knowledge and Fear: Feminism, Foucault and the Stereotype of the Female Librarian”, t
Indonesien har ratificerat de viktiga internationella mänskliga rättigheter-traktaten som ålägger stater att eliminera diskriminering av kvinnor – CEDAW, ICCPR och ICESCR. Ändå existerar omfattande diskriminering av kvinnor i landet, underblåst särskilt av lokala regleringar som tillkommit genom den starka regionala autonomin. Dessa regleringar, antagna på provins-, region- eller stadsnivå, bryterIndonesia has ratified the crucial international human rights treaties obligating states to eliminate discrimination against women – the CEDAW, the ICCPR and the ICESCR. Yet discrimination against women exists in Indonesia, especially fuelled by local regulations able to arise due to the country’s strong regional autonomy. Enacted either at province, regency or city level, these regulations contra
This thesis investigates the role of the Human Resource (HR) departments in the success or failure of the Merger or Acquisition (M&A) process. Through M&As, companies aim to gain strategic advantages by obtaining another company’s core competences, buying their biggest competitor or building a stronger organization by merging with another. In contrast of the high quantity of M&As condu
This thesis investigates the relationship between the demographic dividend and institutions. The aim is to make an attempt of attaining further knowledge about the requirements for obtaining a demographic dividend. This is done through the comparison of Asian countries and South American countries. The obtained results confirm the positive effects of an increase in the working-age population relat
Software development for embedded systems has a lot of dependencies on the hardware of the system. To possibly reduce the lead time and ease the development process, an emulated model is investigated. This model is examined in terms of how it fits in the platform transition, daily development and testing processes at Axis. The results indicate that an emulated model is a powerful tool for a softwa
Reparera mera – en svensk möjlighet att förlänga livstiden på produkter Genom att reparera din produkt istället för att köpa en ny bidrar du till att råmaterial besparas, de globala ekosystemen bevaras och växthusgasutsläppen minskas – och du får dessutom möjlighet att bruka din produkt under en längre tid! Reparation utgör därmed en viktig del i omställningen från dagens linjära ekonomi, som byggTo reduce the use of resources, as well as to minimize the effluents of carbon dioxide; we need to use our products for a longer time. Repairs makes that possible and is considered a key strategy to move towards a more circular economy (CE). Sweden recently presented its CE action plan, which includes few direct initiatives that would foster repairs. Therefore, through a literature review, policy
Digitala nomader är personer som genom distansarbete och digitala kommunikationsmedel skapar sig geografisk frihet och flexibilitet. Arbetssättet gör att personen i princip kan arbeta platsoberoende så länge en internetuppkoppling finns. Distansarbete är en ökande trend i samhället. År 2014 införde till exempel Estland ett digitalt e-medborgarskap, och blev först ut i världen med att erbjuda ett sDigital nomads are people who create geographical freedom and flexibility through teleworking and digital means of communication. The working method means that the person can, in principle, work independently as long as there is an internet connection. Teleworking is a growing trend in society, and, for example, Estonia introduced a digital e-citizenship in 2014 and became the first in the world t
The aim of this master’s thesis is to increase knowledge about how Swedish research libraries work with special collections, in aspects of preservation and user availability. Currently there is no general regulation in Swedish law regarding special collections, which may cause inconsistency in the management of collections. In order to illustrate this problem, and investigate what commission resea
Vår kropp är uppbyggd av biljontals celler, men utan kommunikation och samarbete dem emellan skulle kroppen och dess livsviktiga processer inte fungera. Denna kommunikation äger till stor del rum på cellernas yta, det så kallade cellmembranet, som alltså inte bara fungerar som en barriär mellan cellerna. Här finns nämligen flera olika molekyler och proteiner som sköter en stor del av kommunikationProteoglycans are important macromolecules located on the human cell surfaces. They have many different and important roles in communication between cells. These roles are especially important for cancer development and the survival of tumor cells and these proteoglycans are, therefore, interesting to study. The proteoglycans are made up of a protein core to which glycosaminoglycan chains are boun
Despite that transports contribute to around a quarter of all global energy-related CO2 emissions, the question of how the sector’s emissions are best reduced remains unclear. To fill this gap, this thesis investigates what both academia and the Swedish Climate Policy Council recommend to be the best ways of reducing transport emissions. These findings are then compared with the mobility strategie
Recent development of case law emphasises the need to strike a fair balance between intellectual property rights and other fundamental rights. In theory, balancing of various fundamental rights is not a new concept. However, in practice, striking a fair balance between intellectual property rights and other fundamental rights is quite a new and problematic issue due to digitalisation, which has cr
