Att världen idag kan te sig ganska liten är inget att ta miste på. Det är betydligt lättare och kostar mindre att resa i förhållande till förr, vilket har bidragit till att många av oss i mycket större omfattning reser på semester eller i arbetet, och då stöter på - för oss - främmande och ibland komplicerade problem. Huvudregeln enligt svensk rätt är att bevis skall upptas vid förhandling, enliToday the world does not seem as large as we probably once thought. Many years ago traveling was difficult and quite expensive. Today it’s completely the opposite. All this convenience we experience has some consequences. During our travels and business endeavours with different parts of the world it is not surprising that we encounter problems. Since these problems are unfamiliar to us the proble

Liquefied Natural Gas is a clean and lower carbon alternative to diesel in the heavy road transport sector. It is established as a system in Netherlands and is in the preliminary phase in Belgium with three existing LNG filling stations. Belgium is one of the most heavily trafficked countries in Europe with poor air quality, making it an interesting market for establishing a LNG system. Truck manu

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of how different groups of consumers perceive a brand depending on whether they are exposed to influencer marketing or paid social media marketing. Methodology: A descriptive quantitative study with a between-subjects design was conducted using a digital survey. A combination of one-way ANOVA, independent samples t-test and Spear

Society is facing numerous environmental challenges today and tomorrow. Several global, national, and regional frameworks and instruments are in place to battle the storm. The Regional Council in Scania works with environmental issues through different programs and methods. Miljövårdsfonden is one of these methods, where financial support is allocated to various external projects to further a posi

Punktlighet och förseningar inom järnväg är något som står högt upp på agendan i dagens samhälle. Med en infrastruktur som är i ett stort behov av underhåll samtidigt som trycket på klimatsmarta transportlösningar bara ökar, blir punktligheten och framkomligheten inom järnvägen avgörande. Med en total punktlighet på ungefär 90% finns det mycket att göra. En av järnvägens infrastrukturproblem är spPunctuality and delays within the railway system are of utmost concern in today’s society. With an infrastructure in a dire need of maintenance and the increasing pressure for environmentally friendly transportation solutions, punctuality and accessibility within the railway system becomes crucial. With an overall punctuality rate of approximately 90%, there is much to be improved. One of the prob

This thesis examines the interplay between gender and the perception of impoliteness in the Japanese workplace. Firstly, impoliteness is an area in sociolinguistics that discusses face-threatening acts, perceived in situations modified by different aspects, e.g. context and the gender of the interlocutors. Secondly, gendered language is another area within sociolinguistics which gained popularity

Experimental single qubit gate fidelities in the rare-earth quantum computing (REQC) scheme was found to be lower than predicted by simulation of the optical Bloch equations for the system. The cause was believed to be excitation-induced frequency shifts (EFS), so this BSc thesis investigates a model for EFS in Eu:YSO where stochastic frequency shifts are imposed on the ions. This was implemented

The aim of this study was to examine experience of stigma among parents of children with neuropsychiatric disabilities. Since I wanted my study to focus on parents’ experiences, I used a qualitative approach. I based my study on interviews made with six mothers of children with different neuropsychiatric disabilities such as autism, Asperger’s syndrome, ADHD and ADD. Most previous studies on stigm

This essay aims to analyze Richard Swinburne's theistic description of God and investigate whether it is excluding from a feministic perspective. The foundation of this work is built upon the contemporary religio-philosophical debate that criticizes the philosophical work that has transpired since the enlightenment for its unilateral approach and it’s excluding nature. According to current phi

This essay considers whether one can set criminal youth "right". The purpose was partly to illuminate how youths in NFG (Non Fighting Generation) in Halmstad described what use they could get of the membership, and partly to explain for what reasons they would chose a way of life against violence and criminality. I have done qualitative interviews with members of NFG in Halmstad. I start

To be the president of the Council of Ministers in the European Union is a giant political challenge. The country at the helm is in the centre of EU´s decision making process and in the media´s spotlight. What consequences does this situation have for the country that holds the presidency? In this bachelor thesis I examine if the people’s attitudes towards the European Union changes when their ow

Aim To examine how children in hospital perceive their meetings with clowns. Methods An interview study with ten children and an observation study of 12 children were carried out at two different hospitals employing clowns in southern Sweden. Findings Analyses of the interviews produced four main thematic categories: the clowns' attributes, feelings that the clowns provoked, children's thoughts ab

We propose a methodology based on multivariate extreme value theory, to analyze the dependence between markets during the financial crisis. We argue that extreme dependence based on block maximum is a more appropriate measure to study dependence between stock markets, when a regime shifts, than other alternatives. With this methodology, we are able to detect the increase in the extreme dependences

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Hälsopromotion i skolan förespråkas för att främja välmående och förebygga depressiva symtom hos ungdomar, men insatsernas effektivitet och kostnadseffektivitet behöver utvärderas löpande. Depressiva symtom klassas av WHO som den största sjukdomsbördan hos unga människor och skapar såväl stort lidande för den enskilda och de anhöriga, som höga samhällskostnaderBackground: DISA (Depressive Symptoms In Swedish Adolescents) is a cognitive behavioral intervention aimed at preventing stress and depressive symptoms in adolescents. It is frequently used in Swedish schools for students aged 13-15 years. DISA is commonly offered to females, but at some schools, the intervention is also offered to males. In this study, the application of the intervention for both

In the second part of the twentieth century Southeast Asia experienced rapid urbanization with an unequal spatial distribution pattern. At least one city per country grew in terms of population disproportionally compared to other urban areas. Its major cities not only expanded, but also became mega-urban regions: urban areas of consolidated political, economic and social power frequently stronger

Inom EU:s konkurrensrätt kan man se utvecklingen av en mer begränsad domstolsprövning, samt ett mer ekonomiskt syn- och tillvägagångssätt. Vid studie av artikel 102 EUF-fördraget, är det vidare uppenbart att dominanta företag måste förlita sig på analys och bevis av ekonomisk art för att påvisa att missbruk av dominerande ställning inte är för handen. Något som emellertid rimmar dåligt med en situWithin the field of competition law one can outline two developments, namely that of a limited judicial review and secondly that of a ‘more economics-based’ approach. In studying Article 102 TFEU, it is evident that dominant companies must rely upon economic evidence and reasoning in order to show that an abuse of dominance has not taken place. This application of the article, however, works poorl
