This paper uses a recently developed methodology to investigate the spatial and temporal diffusion patterns of a shock to the regional house markets in Sweden. We model the change in regional house prices such that they are allowed to be contemporaneously affected by price changes in the dominant region – Stockholm - as well as being allowed to be subject to a cointegrated relationship with its ne

Sweden is ranked as the world’s fourth most equal country and is working towards explicit enunciated gender equality policy goals, initiated by the government. The policy goals establish that women and men are to have the same power to shape society and their own lives. Despite this, studies show that a gender unequal treatment of families who seek asylum in Sweden does exists. The aim of this ess

Previous studies show that when one of the siblings is already involved in criminal activities, there is a likelihood that the other sibling also draws into criminality. This essay aims to evaluate what perspective the police and social workers in Malmö have about the phenomena, and what a new regulation would look like. We are focusing on why there are not any preventive measures taken in action,

Vi lever i en värld där tillgängligheten till information är lättare än någonsin. Detta har medfört en ökad nivå av hot mot känslig information som existerar hos företag. Informationssäkerhet är inte längre en teknologisk fråga utan en mänsklig fråga. Människor är det största hotet mot informationen som finns på ett företag. För att hantera detta problem så väljer företag att skapa informationssäk

Sedan 1985 har konkurrenslagstiftningen inom den europeiska motorfordonssektorn omfattas av specifika gruppundantagsförordningar som reglerar de speciella förhållanden som gäller inom framför allt bilindustrin. Detta gruppundantag har under åren kontinuerligt uppdaterats och det senaste, och nu gällande, kom 2010. Dessa gruppundantag utgår från i Artikel 101 i FEUF om konkurrensbegränsande åtgärSince 1985 competition law in the european automobile industry has been covered by specific block exemptions regulation who regulate the special conditions who apply especially in the car industry. These block exemptions has been continuously improved and updated and the last, and current one, is from 2010. The block exemptions assume from article 101 in treaty of the function of the European Un

Web Development and the way it’s been applied nowadays has been remarkably affected by the trend of harnessing user’s output through the implementation of Web Analytics. Under-standing the degree in which the process of web development is driven by data demands a detailed examination on topics within the area of Web Analytics and its correlations with Web Development. Accordingly, the strategicall

Alkali metal atoms, especially sodium and potassium, show an intense fluorescence in hot flue gases. The bright fluorescence emitted by alkali metal atoms offers a large potential for spectroscopic combustion analysis. In this thesis, the temperature dependence of the two-component fluorescence intensity ratio Na/K, as well as the three-component ratio Na·Li/K2 was investigated in the flames with

By adapting the identity it can be seen as untrustworthy and unreliable. The choice is to either limit the good it can do for the world, or sacrifice the foundation of what the startup is. The purpose of the study is to create an understanding of

This thesis is a case study of how women's identities are made salient and marginalised in the FeesMustFall (FMF) movement in Cape Town, South Africa, and how this has played into their engagement with the movement. Thus, this study is centred around the perceived tension between essentialising identities and accommodating intersectionality within the FMF movement. An intra-categorical approa

The German transition to renewable energies has so far been an example of a successful energy transition of a major economy. Even though this transition is criticized for being only a half-hearted solution, it is an important example of the attempt of a major economy to transit towards renewable energies and is therefore worth studying in its own rights. Thus, my aim in this thesis is the identifi
