In the middle ages the Albanian northern tribes had their own customary law that regulated their everyday life. This customary law is called the Kanun of Lekë Dukagjini. The Kanun of Lekë Dukagjini has been passed on by the old generation orally to new generations and used by highland clans in northern Albania, Kosovo and from Albanian tribes in Macedonia and Montenegro. This oral law regulates cr
Syftet med denna studien är att bidra med kunskap om hur medarbetarna ser på sin användning av LinkedIn i förhållande till sin organisation. För att uppnå detta krävs en djupare förståelse för medarbetares användning och upplevelse av LinkedIn. Tidigare studier som undersöker LinkedIn har främst fokuserat på hur rekryterare kan använda plattformen och inte hur enskilda medarbetare använder plattfoThe purpose of this study is to contribute with knowledge about how employees perceive their LinkedIn usage in relation to their organization. To increase the awareness of how organizations can work strategically with LinkedIn the link between organizations and employees has been studied. Other studies examining LinkedIn have mostly had a recruiter perspective or have not considered users as emplo
In the past ten years, Greece has been hit by two “crises”. The first, an economic crisis in 2009, which consisted of a series of bailouts from the European Commission, European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund, leading to a trend of anti-Greek sentiment within the EU. The second, the Syrian refugee “crisis”, beginning in the fall of 2015. At the start, Greece was simply a transit
This thesis investigates planning processes in language production, more specifically in texting as compared to speaking and writing, through pauses analyses (Goldman Eisler, 1969; Matsuhashi, 1981). Texting is used to examine the role of the spatial and temporal presence of a listener/reader in language production. Texting offers an interesting context in this respect since it has spatial absence
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att forska kring tillgång till asyl inom EU och hur detta regleras inom EU-rätten. Vid kärnan återfinns de europeiska domstolarna och deras tolkningar av rätten gällande tillgång till asyl. Uppsatsen undersöker de olika stadierna där flyktingar kan få tillgång till asyl och hur detta har alltmer försvårats av EU och dess medlemsstater. Av denna anledning är forsknThe purpose of this thesis is to research the access to asylum within the EU and how this is regulated in the EU legal system. At the center are the European Courts and their interpretation of the law concerning access to asylum. The thesis examines various stages in which refugees may access asylum and how this increasingly made more difficult by the EU and its Member States. For this reason, the
The task of Automated Essay Scoring (AES) has been active for more than half a century, starting with handcrafting statistical features used for linear regression, and currently being improved by the latest advancements in machine learning and natural language processing. Most current research uses some form of character or word embeddings to represent the essays rather than statistical features,
Previous research has shown a link between investor sentiment and stock market movement, as well as the correlation of search engine queries and market volatility. This research aims to extend these findings by predicting the exact firm-level daily return of Apple and Amazon. The daily returns are predicted with an artificial neural network model. In theory, this model is able to learn similarly t
Indonesia had a taxation reform that was started from 2001 and ended in 2008. The taxation reform transformed both the tax regulation and tax institution. This study evaluates the impact of the taxation reform in Indonesia in 2008 to the tax compliance level of taxpayer, both corporate and personal taxpayer, in Indonesia and what factors that influence Indonesian tax compliance after the taxation
Projections estimate that by 2050 hundreds of millions to a billion people will migrate elsewhere due to environmental reasons. The increasing frequency and intensity of natural hazards posed by climate change, as well as the slow-onset degradation of habitats all over the planet, will drive more and more species to migrate towards more habitable and safe environments. While much of the literature
Following the refugee crisis in 2015, Sweden experienced the largest inflow of refugees in the country’s history. What are the effects on crime of such extensive immigration? This paper aims at analyzing if it prevails a causal relationship between the last years’ refugee immigration and crime rates in Sweden. For this purpose, data from the state’s refugee placement program is evaluated, which yi
Aim: The purpose of this paper is to understand how events manage change over time and the paradox of managing brand continuity while staying relevant. Method: Qualitative research based on secondary data. A multiple case study is conducted where three events are analyzed over two time periods by applying a core value framework and a corporate brand identity matrix. Findings: Each of the analyzed
This paper addresses the Environmental Management System (EMS) frameworks among the twenty-five biggest oil companies in the world. An Environmental Management System is a framework which can be used by companies to structurally control and manage their environmental aspects and impacts. Specifically in this study, focus is put on the content and structural set-up of EMS frameworks. The study look
It is indisputable that in order for an organization to act within a society, legitimacy is needed. A peace-building organization in a post-war society this might be even truer. This thesis attempt to answer how it is possible to understand legitimacy in relation to peace-building. By participating observational study and semi-structured interviews I have collected empirical material from a peace-
All languages distinguish between genders to a varying degree. Gender stereotypes in language are often gender-specific, where agentic words are considered as male and communal words are considered as female. Studies have found that countries with gendered languages express more sexism, compared to countries with natural gender or gender-neutral languages. The following study will investigate the
The objective for this master thesis has been to develop a mathematical model of the actuator parts of the fifth generation Haldex AWD system. The parts to be modeled are the DC-Machine and the pump. Also a model of the elasticity of the clutch has to be derived as well as a model for the hydraulic fluid. These models were then to be implemented in Matlab Simulink. The model was derived by means o
Employment integration of non-Swedish residents into the Swedish labor market increasingly sparks political debate and begs further exploration. While some scholars try to focus on pre-arrival characteristics as determinants of an immigrant’s future employment prospects, this project attempts to examine the degree to which municipal-level conditions influence the local employment rate amongst non-
The paper analyses whether net wealth and property taxation would be a more desirable alternative to other forms of wealth transfer taxation applied in the current tax system of the United Kingdom. It firstly discusses key features of desirable tax system and then methodically applies each form of the taxation towards this framework. Special attention is given to horizontal and vertical equality o
