The rise in prevalence and severity of obesity and related diseases imposes increasing costs on society. The objective of this thesis is to discuss and estimate the possible effects of a so-called fat tax as a tool for minimizing these costs. Two alternatives for differentiation of the value-added tax (VAT) on food are compared. The first alternative is an increase of the VAT levied on food contai
Uppsatsen behandlar internprissättning av koncerninterna lån i ljuset av den svenska rätten. Internpriset är det pris ett visst bolag, eller en viss del av ett företag, debiterar ett närstående företag i en annan jurisdiktion för varor och tjänster som köpts. Grundregeln är att sådan prissättning skall ske på en nivå som motsvarar den två oberoende parter hade enats om under liknande omständigheteThe paper deals with transfer pricing of inter-company loans with regards to the Swedish law. The transfer price is the price at a certain company or a certain part of a company, charges a related company in another jurisdiction for goods and services purchased. The fundamental rule is that such pricing shall be on a level corresponding to the one which two independent parties would have agreed up
In this project we present a phenomenological study of signal to background interference effects in leptonic tridents produced in parton showers. The interference effects are introduced by linking matrix element corrections of a kinetically mixed dark photon model to the parton shower Dire. Using different dark photon masses and coupling strengths positron+proton collisions are simulated and diffe
Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the effect of informal communication strategies on brand trust from a consumer perspective. Additionally, it aims to further conceptualize brand communication strategies on social media. Methodology: This inductive study applied a qualitative research strategy to obtain an in-depth understanding of consumers’ feeling of brand trust on soci
In the European Union’s (EU) Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), free allocation of emissions allowances to avoid carbon leakage has resulted in a distorted pricing signal and a failure to reduce emissions in the most polluting industries. A Border Carbon Adjustment (BCA), a mechanism which would apply a tariff to imported goods based on their embedded carbon content, has been suggested as a solution.
The view of FDI and its impacts has shifted throughout history. In conjunction with globalization and liberalization, new opportunities have emerged which have allowed FDI, in its current state to flourish across the globe. South-South FDI has emerged as a cross-border investment of developing and transitional economies to create lasting links with economies of similar structures. The purpose of t
A Switched Reluctance Machine (SRM) is evaluated in terms of torque quality and speed ripple for a particular pump application. The aim is to give BorgWarner insight into the control methodology and possible applications for a Switched Reluctance Machine. The SRM is also compared to their current BLDC machine, used as an oil pump in their torque transfer applications. The evaluation and implementa
Efforts to reduce energy consumption in buildings have increased with the pending impact of climate change. Heat losses through airing behaviours remain a largely unknown factor due to the variety of reasons for opening a window, making generalization difficult. Currently, an estimation of 4 kWh/m2 heated area for airing heat loss is assumed in Sweden. Additionally, the resulting airflow from open
This thesis examines the role of political satire in the Bulgarian public sphere through the case of the satirical newspaper Pras Press. The bi-weekly publication is centered around political cartooning and reports on public affairs issues from pop culture to current events. It relies on online dissemination as its print editions have been, and continue to be, the object of censorship for the news
In this master’s thesis, a novel unsupervised anomaly detection tool was developed in collaboration with Sandvik Rock Processing to assist engineers and experts in analyzing large amounts of sensor data from cone crushers used in the stone crushing industry. The tool focuses on analyzing power, pressure, and CSS sensor data. A crucial preprocessing step was implemented to algorithmically identify
Phytoplankton and zooplankton interactions are vital in regulating nutrient cycles and productivity in aquatic ecosystems. Nevertheless, zooplankton account for the majority of phytoplankton mortality in the ocean. Due to predation pressures, phytoplankton have evolved several defensive traits, many of them being inducible defenses such as toxin production, colony size alterations, swimming behavi
Allt fler svenska kommuner utformar eller införskaffar 3D stadsmodeller för att möta behov exempelvis inom planeringsarbete eller bygglovsbedömning. Det finns flera typer av 3D stadsmodell varav några beskrivs i denna rapport, exempelvis en semantisk 3D objektsmodell, meshmodell, CIM modell eller en digital tvilling. Trots att flera kommuner sedan länge nyttjat 3D stadsmodeller finns ännu inga natA 3D city model is commonly used by Swedish municipalities in for example city planning or building permit assessment. There are however various kinds of 3D city models of which some are described in this report, for example a semantic 3D object model, mesh model, CIM model or a digital twin model. Even though a 3D city model is common and there are standards available, there are no nationwide re
Development and analysis of a commercial hair mask Our degree project has been to develop and analyse a hair mask. We tried out different “recipes” for the hair mask in the lab, and then used different methods to evaluate our recipes to find out which one is the best. Like many other industries, the hair cosmetic industry is facing a change where customers are asking for a new type of environmenta
We set out to investigate whether arctic tundra acted as a sink or source of carbon dioxide (CO2) between 1980-2014 and to relate changes in the net carbon balance to Arctic sea-ice decline. We want to understand how climate change and arctic warming influence arctic carbon cycling. Identifying the ways higher temperatures affect tundra carbon cycling, one of them being the decline of sea ice, can
