Fler och fler företag väljer idag att marknadsföra sig via sociala medier på grund av dess enkelhet, snabbhet och kostnadseffektiv
Syftet med uppsatsen är att klargöra när en fordran uppstår under en företagsrekonstruktion. Fokus kommer att ligga på arbetstagarnas lönefordringar och inte minst när staten har betalat ut lönegaranti. Ett synsätt är att konkurslagen skall tillämpas analogt. Ett annat synsätt är att syftena mellan Konkurslag (1987:678) och Lag (1996:764) om företagsrekonstruktion är olika. Om syftet mellan lagarn

This work presents a way of analysing photographs stored in Canon’s CR2-format in order to analyse the light intensity profile of the area where the photographs were taken. A set of underwater photographs of the habitat of the Cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, were provided for this thesis. The light intensity profile of the habitat of the cuttlefish is of interest because of the unusual shape of its pupil
This paper analyses the effects of emigration on unemployment and wages in the ten Central and Eastern European countries that joined the EU in 2004 and 2007. These countries experi-enced large migration outflows following their accession and thus lost a considerable share of their labour force. This presents a good natural experiment to study the impact of emigration on the labour market outcomes
En produkts formgivning är avgörande för hur eftertraktad den blir på marknaden, något som resulterat i att stora resurser läggs ner på att ge pro-dukter ett så tilltalande yttre som möjligt. För att investerade resurser inte ska gå om intet är det viktigt att skydda formgivningen på ett adekvat sätt, vilket t.ex. kan göras med hjälp av olika, till viss del överlappande, im-materialrättsliga skyddA product's design is crucial to how popular it will become on the market. This has resulted in that significant resources are laid down to give products an exterior as attractive as possible. To make sure that the spent resources should not be wrecked, it is important to protect the design adequately. This can e.g. be done by different, partially overlapping, kinds of intellectual property pr

This paper examines the causal effects of happiness on productivity, using cross sectional time series (panel) data from the UK, spanning the years 1996 to 2008. Innovations in this paper include the use of total compensation instead of wage rates as a proxy for productivity, the use of overall happiness instead of operationalized measures of happiness, and the use of GIS-derived bioclimate variab
