Det internationella skattesamarbetet har under en längre tid definierats av en vilja att motarbeta dubbelbeskattning av enskilda skattebetalare. Det främsta sättet på vilket detta har tagit uttryck är de många bilaterala skatteavtalen som finns mellan olika stater idag. I ett sådant avtal regleras beskattningen av en gränsöverskridande transaktion eller affärsverksamhet mellan de två avtalsslutandThe international tax law system has for a long time been defined by its prevention of double taxation of the taxpayers. The main way in which this work has been undertaken has been the many bilateral tax agreements that exist between states today. These agreements regulate the taxation rights between two states in a case of a cross-border transaction or arrangement. In that way it is possible for

Energieffektivitet är viktigt i vårt moderna samhälle och i jakten på det kan oväntade problem uppstå. När Axis Communications i strävan efter ökad bildkvalitet och energieffektivitet tillämpade IR-stroboskop med hög toppeffekt som belysning åt kameror med global slutare, observerades en artefakt i form av ett vitt band i närliggande kameror med rullande slutare. Syftet med detta examensarbete är Energy efficiency is key in our modern society, and in its pursuit, unexpected problems can appear. For instance, when Axis Communications in the pursuit of image quality and energy efficiency used strobing IR-illumination to illuminate for their global shutter cameras, they observed an artefact in the form of a white band in their rolling shutter cameras. The purpose of this thesis is to find a s

Today, social media offers new possible tools for organizing and spreading political messages than in the past, changing the way activism can take shape and thereby producing new forms of records. These records make up an important part of today’s history and therefore should be preserved for the future. However, despite the possibilities that social media offers, commercial social media platforms

I denna uppsats behandlas särskiljningsförmågan hos tredimensionella EU-varumärken. Med ett tredimensionellt varumärke avses något som består eller omfattar en tredimensionell form, däribland behållare, förpackningar, produkten i sig eller deras utseende. Att erhålla varumärkesskydd för en förpackning eller varan i sig ger många fördelar för den enskilde näringsidkaren. Varumärkesinnehavaren kan sThis thesis aims to investigate the criteria for assessing shape marks distinctive character as a European Union Trademark. Shape marks consist of, or extend to, a three-dimensional shape, including containers, packaging, the product itself or their appearance. Trademark protection for a shape mark provides, amongst other things, a protection against imitations and unfair advantage of the reputati

Sedan befolkningsökningen under 1800–1900 talet har en stor areal av de svenska våtmarkerna torrlagts i syfte att öka jordbruksarealerna och matproduktionen. Våtmarkerna av intresse för denna studie innehåller en stor andel organiskt material i form av torv och gyttja och benämns som organogena jordar. Sverige är ett av världens mest torvtäta länder och Skåne län erhåller en stor andel av dessa maSince a large growth in population occurred during the 1800-1900 centuries in Sweden, an expansion of agricultural land became a necessity. The government provided farmers with an allowance to exploit wetlands. A large portion of wetlands has since then been lost and used for cultivation, in particular peat lands. The drainage of peat lands results in a loss in biodiversity, poorer water condition

The GASMAS technique has previously proven useful for examining and measuring the oxygen concentration in the lungs of preterm infants. GASMAS can distinguish absorption by one gas from the bulk absorption of the surrounding media, and can provide an instant, non-invasive and non-destructive way of examining lungs, and diagnosing dangerous conditions such as pneumothorax. Pneumothorax can be life-

The transition from animal-based to plant-based proteins is rapidly increasing because of different concerns about meat consumption, some being the nutritional and environmental effects of meat consumption. During this transition, there needs to be a holistic approach to assessing plant-based food. This master thesis is focused on investigating the nutritional and environmental impact of three pla

Nu kommer kraven för att återställa naturen – hur ska företagen lösa detta bortprioriterade ämne? Planetens alla livsavgörande funktioner såsom matförsörjning och materialtillgångar är beroende av en välmående natur. Funktioner som just nu håller på att gå förlorade på grund av en global massutrotning av planetens arter. Äntligen börjar makthavare lyfta blicken och inse att det inte bara handlar o

Unsafe food consumption is an alarming issue worldwide which is linked to the fatalities of two million people annually. Such unsafe food intertwines with the right to health of consumers in a way that every individual is ubiquitously a consumer at one point in their life and safe food is one of the determinants of the right to health. Hence, the right to safe food and the right to health of consu

This thesis was performed in collaboration with Phoniro AB, that develops digitally unlocked products that are mainly used in home care service. The purpose of the project was to develop one of their products through a user-centered design process. To determine which product had the greatest development potential, an evaluation of three products and the associated app was conducted. A custom heuri

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för stora utsläpp av växthusgaser från byggnadsmaterial- och energianvändning. Byggbranschen står idag för ca en femtedel av Sveriges totala koldioxidutsläpp. Ett område med stor potential är byggnadsmaterial där IsoTimber är ett av företagen som driver utvecklingen framåt. IsoTimber är en relativt ny aktör inom byggsektorn som tillverkar prefabricerade väggar i trThe construction and real estate sector accounts for a large part of the emission of greenhouse gases from the usage of building material and energy. The construction industry today accounts for about one-fifth of Sweden’s total carbon dioxide emissions. One area with great potential is building materials where IsoTimber is one of the companies that drive the development forward. IsoTimber is a re

Den 1 april 2020 trädde lag (2020:62) om hemlig dataavläsning i kraft. Något förenklat kan sägas att lagen skapar nya möjligheter för brottsbekämpande myndigheter att med tekniska hjälpmedel i hemlighet bereda sig tillgång till information som finns i teknisk utrustning. Hemlig dataavläsning, framöver benämnt HDA, kan användas vid förundersökning, i underrättelseverksamhet samt vid så kallad särskOn 1 April 2020, the Swedish Act (2020:62) Regarding Secret Reading of Data was established in Sweden. Somewhat simplified the law can be said to create new opportunities for enforcement authorities to secretly get access to information in different types of technical equipment. This is done by using a variation of technical methods. Secret data reading, hereinafter referred to as HDA, can be used

Uppsatsen behandlar ämnet slöjförbud i Sverige. Syftet är att undersöka hur en svensk partipolitiskt obunden organisation, som arbetar med hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck, konstruerar deras ståndpunkter om slöjförbudet samt hur de tillförskriver attribut till slöjbärande kvinnor som kan bli påverkade av slöjförbud. Materialet består av en skrift från den slöjkritiska organisationen ”Glöm aldrig The subject in this thesis is ban of veils in Sweden. The aim of this thesis is to examine how a Swedish non-party political organization, that works with honor related violence and oppression, constructs their positions about a ban of the veil, and further how they prescribe attributes to veiled women who can be affected by the ban. The analyzed material is a publication from the Swedish veil-cri
