Genomgående ämne för denna uppsats är ansvar för andra. I en näringsverksamhet uppkommer flera situationer där det, för näringsidkarens del, kan bli tal om ansvar för någon annan. Ett sådant ansvar, i denna uppsats kallat ”utsträckt ansvar” eller ”kedjeansvar”, innebär att näringsidkaren kan bli ansvarig för någon annans agerande. Uppsatsen ämnar klarlägga huruvida det föreligger gemensamma grund

Kronan har mellan åren 2009 och 2013 stärkts mot euron, dollarn och det brittiska pundet. Detta har i sin tur lett till en debatt kring en potentiell övervärdering av kronan och dess effekter på exporten. Tidigare studier som behandlar kronans värdering har främst fokuserat på perioder före 2001. Den senaste utvecklingen av växelkursen motiverar därför ny analys av kronan. Studien tar sin början e

Min uppsats behandlar i vilken mån man fortfarande, som fysisk person, kan anses vara obegränsat skattskyldig i Sverige även efter det att man har flyttat härifrån. Då området är omfattande har jag valt att ytterligare avgränsa mig till att behandla i vilken mån bolagsengagemang kan utgöra en sådan grund. Jag har valt att använda mig av traditionell juridisk metod i mitt arbete och som stöd för miMy paper discusses the extent to which a private person may be considered to be fully taxable in Sweden even after they have emigrated. The area is extensive so I have chosen to limit myself to examining the extent to which involvement in a company could constitute such a basis. I have chosen to use traditional legal methods in my work and in support of my argument. It may be important to individu

Institutions are commonly thought of as crucial determinants for economic development.

Bemanningsbranschen är idag allmänt accepterad i Sverige och bemanningsföretagen har sedan avregleringen av arbetsförmedlingsmonopolet 1993 etablerats starkt på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Detta har inneburit en förändring av det traditionella anställnings- förhållandet till att bli en trepartsrelation. Detta trepartsförhållande, där nu tre parter istället för två måste kooperera har visat sig sk

This paper deals with a comparison between the German and the Swedish language concerning perfective and imperfective states and situations. My aim was to investigate the meaning of the tenses perfect and past tense in German and Swedish, and also the translation of the German perfect to the Swedish perfect or past tense. To begin with, definitions of terms such as Aspekt, Aktionsart and Aspektua

Sverige har sedan år 1990 haft en reglering mot insiderhandel. Innan dess var det den så kallade självregleringen, skapad av marknadens egna aktörer, som reglerade insiderbrottet. Lagen har dock utvecklats och omarbetats många gånger genom EU direktiv och förordningar fram till den idag gällande marknadsmissbrukslagen. Trots detta kritiseras regleringen för att vara ineffektiv och svår att tillämp

All agencies that affect children, and the employees of these businesses, are required to report to social services if they suspect a child is being abused. Studies show that too few reports are made to social services regarding children being maltreated. 84% of children in Sweden are in preschool and it is therefore important that preschool teachers recognize if a child is being abused. According
