It does so by applying the theory of optimum currency areas (Mundell 1961), and by examining the different factors of asymmetric s
Globalization has lead to the situation that all countries in this or that way become affective by migratory movements. In year 2008 stream immigration to Sweden reached its record levels, with more than 100,000 people entering the country (Segregation 'widespread' for Swedish immigrants 2008). Although known to provide multiple benefits, such as new life opportunities, migration may also
This study attempts to test the hypothesis that there existed a peculiar variety of Greek which was used for certain purposes by Jewish and Christian writers in the context of the synagogue. It is argued that the origin of this variety was the translation Greek of the Pentateuch, and the background for the hypothesis is the polyglossic nature of the Greek language, i.e., several varieties were use
Syftet med denna examensuppsats är att utreda en rad arbetsrättsliga rättigheter och skyldigheter, som kan uppstå vid distansarbete. De områden jag har valt att fokusera på är arbetsbristuppsägningar och turordning, arbetsledningsrätt, arbetsskyldighet och arbetstid samt arbetsmiljö. Två utgångspunkter för arbetet har varit distansarbetsutredningen, SOU 1998:115, och distansarbetsavtalet, som trädMy thesis aims to assess different problems in employment law when dealing with teleworkers. I have chosen to focus on redundancy dismissals and seniority right, the managerial prerogative, the duty to work, working hours and working environment. Two starting points are the Government Inquiry Report on telework, SOU 1998:115, and the telework agreement, which entered into force in July 2002 betwee
En sammanfattning av uppsatsen på maximalt 8000 tecken. This thesis is mainly dealing with the mobility of the employees within the borders of the European Union. Legislative framework from the EU is favourable and the Commission has set as one of it goals to promote the migration. Globalisation trends and contemporary business concepts need people who are mobile on the other hand. But migration n

The study focuses on three subjects, namely a) professional specialisation, b) power and discretion and c) how social workers approach and relate to clients in their work. These three subjects constitute the organisational conditions that are the subjected to analysis. Six interv
The aim of the study is to highlight parents' experiences from being part of children's social care investigations and the impacting elements of the experiences described by the parents. The ambition is to contribute with perspectives on what parents see as a good or bad treatment in the specific context. This ambition also includes a question about which qualities that are essential for a
The management of construction tolerances is a necessary and routine part of the construction activity and is normally brought to our attention only when failures are reported. In a study of tolerance management, the authors found widespread evidence of the same failures and the reasons for them. There seems to be no shortage of experience of the effects of failures in tolerances or of knowledge a
Electricity spot prices are characterized by sudden large movements, followed a few days later by an equally large movement in the opposite direction. These phenomena are called spikes (upward movements) and drops (downward movements). Recent research has suggested that the dynamics of the electricity spot prices can be accurately described by hidden Markov Regime Switching (MRS) models. Regime sw
The aim of this study was to illuminate the pattern of confusional episodes with regard to the content of elderly patients' actions and speech. Fifty-one (11.2%) out of 457 people admitted to an orthopaedic clinic developed acute confusional state. Non-participant direct observations and daily clinical bedside follow-up observations were made during the confusional episodes, focusing on the patien
What is normally described as bias? A possible definition comprises attempts to distort or mislead to achieve a certain perspective, i.e. subjective descriptions intended to mislead. If designers were able to exclude bias from informing systems, then this would maximize their effectiveness. This implicit conjecture appears to underpin much of the research in our field. However, in our efforts to s

This thesis presents a sincere effort to decrease child mortality on given reason. The servitized Business Information System (BIS) named VacSam provides unique vaccination recommendations to any child thus service orienting a part of the Swedish vaccination activity. Design
The purpose of the Gramte program is to meet the needs of university students who feel that they are not mastering the grammatical terminology needed for studying linguistics or foreign languages. In all learning contexts it is important to have the adequate background knowledge. This is even more crucial when it concerns the basic concepts and terminology which will be used by the teachers during
Enligt en etablerad teori om utvecklingen av politiskt styre i Europas förflutna går beskattning hand i hand med folkrepresentation. Härskare i finansiella trångmål blev nämligen mer eller mindre tvungna att erbjuda politiska fri- och rättigheter i utbyte mot folkets bidrag till statskassan. I denna avhandling undersöker jag det rakt motsatta antagandet: är det även så att icke-skatter går hand i According to a venerable argument about the formation of political regimes in historical Europe, taxation goes hand in hand with representation, as financial needs forced rulers to trade rights for revenue. In this dissertation I explore the reverse assumption, asking whether it is the case that non-taxation went hand in hand with non-representation? I argue that early modern rulers who had access
Large interannual variations in the measured growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) originate primarily from fluctuations in carbon uptake by land ecosystems. It remains uncertain, however, to what extent temperature and water availability control the carbon balance of land ecosystems across spatial and temporal scales. Here we use empirical models based on eddy covariance data and proce
Offer för brott mot mänskliga rättigheter orsakade av multinationella företags aktiviteter möter stora rättsliga luckor och hinder när de försöker utkräva kompensation för skador. Bolagsrätten som täcker dessa situationer har inte ännu anpassats till förändringarna som den globaliserade världen inneburit, och de komplexa strukturerna som multinationella företag består av idag. Principen som innebVictims of human rights abuses linked to activities of multinational corporations face huge legal gaps and challenges when trying to access compensation for harm. Corporate law covering these scenarios have not yet adapted to the changes of a globalized world and the complex structures of today’s multinational corporations (MNCs). The principle of separate legal entities is one such obstacle keep
Brain Inflammation in Alzheimer’s disease Nowadays, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the main cause of dementia worldwide but still is not well understood how is the disease developed. However, there are few known factors that are important in the progression of the disease. In the last decade, the role of the inflammatory cells has been clearly link to the pathology. Hence, the aim of our project is
Organizational politicking (OP), otherwise known as workplace politics has for many decades been a deeply subverted topic in the management literature due to its widely negative credo. This study aims to investigate OP and its uncharted utilization within the communication profession drawing upon the empirical foundation of 15 qualitative in-depth interviews with communication practitioners in var
Research Problem - Considering the increasing trend towards startup studios in the business world, the literature does not provide much information regarding these start-up support organisations. In recent years, researchers have put their attention on accelerators, creating a broad understanding of this concept. It is important for entrepreneurs to be aware of the different support organisations
