The excess comovement is defined as the comovement, or correlation, between normally uncorrelated assets, that can not be explained by economic fundamentals and financial contagion is the occurrence of excess comovement. Excess comovement has been observed on several stock markets by economic researc
The practice of forcing a person to perform work without his or her consent and the denial of freedom to leave work has been part of human history for centuries. Despite great effort by the international community to combat forced labour, this scourge is still a prevalent practice in both developed and developing countries, with old as well as new forms of coercion being carried out every day. Mil
Den här studien har utförts för att undersöka om lastbilar av typen högkapacitetsfordon, HCT-fordon, dvs. längre och tyngre fordon, kan svänga i befintliga korsningar. Idag, finns det tre typer av HCT-fordon, vilka är Duo-kärra, ETT-ekipage och Duo-trailer. Dessa nya fordonstyper har tagits fram för att kunna bemöta transportökningen. Problemet är att dessa fordon är längre än dem fordon som enlig
Villa homes are designed to be able to tackle many injured leading factors. Today's villa homes are planned and projected by many years of experience in villa construction. No matter how well you planned the project planning and execute it, an injury can occur. Moisture and water damage can occur from a variety of factors, both from the outer- and inner factors. The external factors may be in

During the last few years the countries in the African continent have experienced an enormous increase in female politicians on a national level.

På grund av bristande harmonisering mellan länders nationella skattesystem har det uppstått möjligheter för multinationella företag att använda sig av aggressiva skatteplaneringsmetoder. För att komma till bukt med problematiken krävs att länderna kan utbyta information om företagens skattebetalningar. För att främja informationsutbytet har OECD och EU tagit fram en åtgärd, så kallad land-för-landAs a result of insufficient harmonization between domestic tax systems, opportunities have occurred for multinational enterprises (MNE’s) to use aggressive tax planning. To overcome the difficulties, countries must be able to exchange information about the MNE’s tax payments. OECD and the EU have developed country-by-country reporting (CbCR) to ease the exchange of information. CbCR contains an ob
The purpose of the project is to recommend one common way of how to calculate a conversion factor that should be used to convert sales into the corresponding volume in cubic meter. The conversion factor is a forecasted average value per cubic meter of an IKEA product and could be seen as a model of the future. The authors of the thesis have no intensions to provide a perfect model that is an exact
The purpose of this study was to emphasize how Social Workers seen from a gender perspective reasoned about youth sexuality and about male and female prostitution. Our question at issue concerns how gender is constructed based on the Social Secretaries discussion about sexuality and prostitution. The used method was qualitative and the empirical evidence was collected through semi-structured inter
Abstract in UndeterminedLimb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A is an autosomal recessive disorder generated by inactivating mutations in the gene coding for the muscle specific protease calpain-3. It is mainly expressed in skeletal muscle as a monomeric multidomain protein characterized by three unique insertion sequences (NS, IS1, IS2). It is unstable, and undergoes very rapid autolysis in soluti
Streptococcus agalactiae (group B Streptococcus) is the major cause of invasive bacterial disease, including meningitis, in the neonatal period. Although prophylactic measures have contributed to a substantial reduction in the number of infections, development of a vaccine remains an important goal. While much work in this field has focused on the S. agalactiae polysaccharide capsule, which is an
