Institutional theory of economic growth argues that the long-term development of a country is greatly influenced by quality of its institutions. On its turn, good institutions would form more naturally in countries with better income distributions than more unequal countries. One of the main references used to support this idea used by researchers is the case of Latin America, especially Argentina
Idag är planering en essentiell komponent i både den offentliga och den privata sektorn. Ett bra planerad projekt har en högre sannolikhet för att lyckas än ett inte så välplanerad projekt. Men ju större ett projekt är, desto mer tidskrävande är planeringsprocessen. I detta examensarbete utvecklades ett planeringsverktyg för att hitta en tillräcklig bra konfiguration mellan personer och deluppgifToday, planning is an essential part in most lines of business. A good planned project has a higher chance of succeeding than a not so well planned project. However, the bigger a project is, the more time consuming the planning phase becomes.

The demand on more and better assistive technology, technology that ease the everyday life for the persons with dementia, will increase. The assistive technology currently recommended by occupational therapists are mainly low-technological solutions. There exist
A common reason to malfunctioning of tap-changers is wear of tribological contacts. In order to reduce wear, it would be desirable to lubricate the contacts. Since the tap-changer is working in transformer oil, it is necessary that whatever lubricant is added is compatible with transformer oil. In this work, the compatibility of lubricating grease in transformer oil has been investigated. A wide v
Den 1 juni 2014 trädde lagen om energikartläggning i stora företag (2014:266) i kraft från energimyndigheten. Lagen innebär att alla företag har en skyldighet att göra en energikartläggning för deras årliga energianvändning. Detta för att få ökad kunskap om vad energin används till i företaget. Med stora företag menas att man anställer minst 250 personer eller har en årsomsättning över 50 miljonerThe new law about energy mapping in large companies (2014:266) from energy agency was valid from 1 June 2014. The law requires that every large company has a responsibility to make an energy mapping for their yearly energy usage. This is to get an increased knowledge of what the energy is used for in the company. Definition of a large company is if the company employs least 250 persons and have ye
Är time-lapsedokumentation i tunnelprojekt en effektiv och användbar metod som stöd till uppföljning och dokumentation av daglig produktion? Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka och utvärdera time-lapsedokumentation i tunnelprojekt, motivet är att underlätta uppföljning i produktionen vilket skapar gynnsamma förutsättningar för förbättringsarbeten. I en bransch med hård konkurrens strävar f
Dehumanization has been a widely studied phenomenon for the explanation of inter-group conflicts and violence. In this study, two forms of dehumanization, blatant form and subtle form (infrahumanization), have been applied in a class and culture-related conflict, which is a comparison of urban versus rural within the context of sexual harassment. Dehumanization of two targets (urban versus rural)
In this thesis I examine fluctuations and growth rates of household debt before, during and after financial crises in Sweden 1873-2015. The results show similar patterns in fluctuations between crisis and their adjacent years in Sweden. The results also show a significantly higher volatility of household debt growth rate fluctuations before, during and after financial crises compared to the rest o

This papers aims at analysing Chinese suppliers’ expectations of interfirm relationship when Western companies offshore their production to China. The research is motivated by the underrepresentation of the Chinese suppliers’ perspective in the literature and the undisputed role of China as the second most popular destination for offshoring. The literature finds that a successful relationship betw
This report focuses on the issues associated with large occupant loads and counter-flows in underground metro stations. A basic case study is performed by simulating different countermeasures scenarios to investigate the implication that the countermeasures may have on the occupant load on the platform. The countermeasures investigated were modifications to the flow through ticket gates or escalat
Syftet med studien är att kartlägga vilka egenskaper och färdigheter en byggprojektledare bör utveckla för att säkerställa ett projekts framgång. Studien ämnar även undersöka projektledarnas nuvarande ledarkompetenser och val av tillvägagångssätt i projekten.

The degree project described in this report also acts as a deliverable for a research project. The research project focuses on a new technique for the upgrading of biogas. This new technology uses a sterically hindered amine to absorb carbon dioxide from the biogas to raise its energy value. The amine used for this method is 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol or AMP. When absorb-ing carbon dioxide with t
While global carbon dioxide emissions increase considerably over the past decades, the former Soviet Union republics experience a substantial decrease of the environmental indicator since the dissolution of the USSR. Nonetheless, considering the prominent Soviet heritage in a form of energy intensive heavy manufacturing, industrialization remains one of the strong determinants for the environmenta
Investeringar till stängningskursen under första handelsdagen i börsintroduktioner på Bombay Stock Exchange genererar en negativ anormal avkastning på kort såväl som lång sikt. Endast en av de undersökta variablerna, branschen Healthcare, har ett statistiskt säkerställt samband med den långsiktiga prestationen.Investments in IPOs on the Bombay Stock Exchange at the closing price on the first day of trading generates a negative abnormal return in both the short and the long run. Only one of the independent variables, the industry Healthcare, has a statistically proven connection to the long run performance.
In Sahel livestock stands for an important resource. Since livestock is dependent on vegetation as food supply it is important to monitor biomass within the area to be able to assess and adapt to different situations regarding the livestock. Optimally such approximations should be available as early as possible in order for the owners to be able to make decisions while it still makes a difference.
The purpose with this project was to create future self-service points for Skånetrafiken. The ticket machines that are in use today are difficult to interact with and excluding to people who are sight impaired or uses a wheelchair. Since Skånetrafiken are going to implement new self-service solutions in 2019 they want suggestions on how it could be designed. We thought that this project was an exc
Denna uppsats undersöker hur en psykiatrisk vårdinstitution väljer att informera om psykiska sjukdomar när mottagaren är barn som är anhöriga i psykiatrin. Syftet är att ta reda på vilka sociala strategier som används för att informera om ett känsligt ämne på ett respektfullt och förtroendeingivande sätt. I min undersökning har jag utgått från teorier om artighetsstrategier som kan sägas skapa ant
