The present thesis explores perceptions about if and how are the EU norms adopted, adapted, resisted or rejected in the case of Kosovo. Moreover, a comparison between two parts within Kosovo will be conducted: a northern part with Serbian majority and the "rest of Kosovo" with Albanian majority. The objective is to investigate the effect of the EU normative power in different parts of a
Denna uppsats syftar till att fastställa hur införandet av Enhetliga Patent och den Europeiska- och EU-patentdomstolen kommer att påverka läkemedelsindustrins val av patentansökningsförfarande när de ansöker om patent i Europa i framtiden. För att fastställa de förväntade effekterna av Enhetliga Patent på branschen har intervjuer med ett urval personer inom forskning- och utvecklingsföretag och enThis thesis aims to establish how the introduction of the Unitary Patent and the European and European Union Patent Court will affect the pharmaceutical industry’s choice of patent application route when applying for patents in Europe in the future. To establish the expected effect of the Unitary Patent on the industry interviews with a selection of professionals in the research and development in
Problem description: Warehouses and warehousing operations are often considered as some of the most crucial elements in a company's supply chain, and often stand for more than 20 percent of a company’s total logistics costs. The actual size of these costs are, together with most of the costs related to warehouse operations, mainly consequences of the decisions made when designing the warehouse
This research aims to enhance the current literature on meaningful work by gaining a deeper understanding of the effects of remote working on the perception of meaningful work. Set in the interpretive tradition, our research includes a qualitative case study in a single organisation and pursues an abductive approach. To understand how meaningful work is affected when working remotely, we collecte
De senaste tio åren har antalet sökta bygglov för småhus med träregelstomme mer än fördubblats. I dagsläget finns inget allmänt krav att säkerställa horisontalkapacitet för småhus men är något som beställaren kan efterfråga och som många konstruktörer någon gång upplevt problematiskt. Projekteringsfasen kan bli tidskrävande där lösningar för att fastställa kapacitet mot vindlast blir dyra och kompIn the last ten years, the number of building permits applied for houses with timber frame structure has more than doubled. Today, there is no general requirement to establish horizontal capacity, but is something that can be demanded and that many structural engineers have occasionally experienced as problematic. The design phase can then be time-consuming, where solutions for determining capacit
This thesis analyses if investors price a country’s environmental (E) performance into sovereign bond yields. The sample consists of 17 emerging countries from 2011 to 2020. Environmental performance is measured by aggregating 12 metrics from World Bank’s Environmental, Social & Governance database to a single index using principal component analysis. The panel data model combines the E index
In this study, the quantitative relationship between the three dimensions of transformative capacity – cognitive, structural and agency – and the climate change performance of countries is examined. To do this, indexes are created and panel data regressions conducted. The result indicates a significant negative relationship between the cognitive and diversity dimension index and climate change per
Nahoj Nim has for a long time been very successful at developing, producing and selling packaging solutions for the food industry. Today, however, Nahoj Nim faces a new challenge as competitors are gaining market shares. The purchasing unit Component & Technical Consultant Purchasing (hereafter referred to as C&TCP), involved in sourcing, contracting and managing the supplier base for comp
This is a Master's thesis, and it is a report on a study on different secondary packaging for the Tetra Brik Aseptic 1500 ml Slim package (TBA 1500 S). At the beginning of this study no installed filling line for the TBA 1500 S package existed. The first line was installed in October. Therefore a similar package was studied, the TBA 1000 S package. Data were collected on this package and then
Abstract Uppsatsen Fienden Inifrån granskar medierapporteringen kring Anders Breivik – gärningsmannen bakom terrordåden i Oslo den 22 juli 2011 med syftet att nå djupare insikt i hur media konstruerar fienden när denne kommer inifrån det egna samhället, samt vilka konsekvenser denna konstruktion får. Genom att undersöka 16 artiklar publicerade i Dagens Nyheter analyseras mediekonstruktionen av fi
Theoretical perspective: Existing theories within anthropology, globalization of McDonald’s and Japanese culture (household etc.) were used as providing explanations of the collected data. Methodology: This research uses McDonald’s as an example of fast food consumption in Japan. The fieldwork includes interviews, observations, and questionnaires. The research has an interpretational approach to
The aim of the thesis is to examine whether changes in the capital controls affect the premium of the cross-listed stock of Össur hf., it is listed on the Icelandic and Copenhagen stock exchange. The price difference is examined with two currency rates, the official rate as given by the Central bank of Iceland and the offshore rate. The Icelandic market is bounded within capital controls, while th
This book illuminates the personal experience of being at the centre of a media scandal. It contributes new perspectives to the field, where both moral and media transgressions are exposed. By using ethnological and phenomenological perspectives upon an extensive empirical material, from a Swedish context, the existential level of this phenomenon can be highlighted.
