The direct and immediate link test in EU VAT: A new set of criteria to clarify the right of deduction

Det direkta och omedelbara koppling testet, även det indirekta koppling testet i moms av EU ingår inte i momsdirektivet. Medlemsstaterna använder sig av avdragsrätten på olika sätt, vilket förvärrar problemet. Av denna anledning görs i denna avhandling sex punkter för att identifiera det direkta testets skyldigheter. Dessutom smälter de tre principerna om rättssäkerhet, ekonomisk verklighet och skThe direct and immediate link test, which is a fundamental requirement for the right of deduction to exist, is not mentioned at all in the EU VAT Directive. Additionally, Member State transposition is not a harmonised process. This leads to divergences in how different EU Member States grant the right of deduction. As a solution to this, the Court of Justice of the European Union allows Member Sta

Neural Asymmetry in the Perception of South Swedish Word Accents

South Swedish, as a dialect of modern Swedish, has two tonal word accents, accent 1 and accent 2. Regarding these two word accents, there are three groups of hypotheses on which one is more lexically specified. The first group believes that accent 2 is more specified and accent 1 is default shaped by intonation, whereas the second group deems that accent 1 is lexically specified and accent 2 is th

People pleasing och att anpassa sig efter andra - en studie om sambandet mellan sociotropi och konformitet

Denna studie har utförts med syfte att undersöka sambandet mellan sociotropi och konformitet, samt könsskillnader inom dem. Relationen mellan dessa variabler är hittills outforskad, men tidigare forskning föreslår att det rimligen finns ett positivt samband mellan dem. Denna studie kan därmed bidra till viktiga kompletterande perspektiv för att uppnå en bredare förståelse av individuella egenskapeThis study was aimed to examine the relationship between sociotropy and conformity, together with gender differences within them. While this specific intersection of subjects has not been explored earlier, previous research suggests it would be reasonable to expect a positive relationship between them. This study could therefore contribute to important supplementary perspectives to achieve a broad

Development of Continuous Mode Fermentation with Electrochemical In-situ Product Recovery for Succinic Acid Production by Actinobacillus Succinogenes

Till skillnad från vad som visat sig i tidigare forskning verkar inte den elektrokemiska extraktionsenheten, som användes i detta projekt, ha någon positiv inverkan på satsvis fermentering. Projektet visade också att vid kontinuerlig fermentering ökade andelen transporterad bärnstenssyra, med denna extraktionsenhet, jämfört med satsvis fermentering. I det här projektet användes en bakterie som heThis project utilizes an electrochemical recover unit to extract succinic acid through an anion exchange membrane. The extraction was first used in abiotic experiments using synthetic broth mimicking a fermentation with Actinobacillus succinogenes. The extraction was favored by high salinity of the anolyte and a pH controlled at pH 7 in the catholyte. Batch fermentations were coupled with the extr
