The phenomenon “see now, buy now” results from the impact of the digitalization on the fashion system. By using “see now, buy now”, fashion houses make their collections available to consumers immediately after a fashion show. In comparison, consumers have to wait for six months until the collections are made available under the traditional fashion system. “See now, buy now” was used for the first

This article explores the ideals and motivations behind the increasingly popular physical practice of Crossfit. Through an analysis of data collected through interviews, observation and deep hanging out (and working out) this article attempts to thicken the conventional analysis of lifestyle practices sin late modern capitalism. A product of the contemporary Culture of the Self —that illusive thin

Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka ifall det finns någon skillnad i budpremie mellan horisontella och vertikala förvärv. Metod: Utifrån uppsatsens syfte har en kvantitativ inriktning valts. Studien använder sig av redan tillgänglig data som sedan testats i en multipel regressionsanalys. Bortsett från variablerna budpremie och förvärvstyp ingår även sex stycken kontrollvariabler. Teoretis

Experiments at particle colliders provide experimental verifications of theories in particle physics, and allow to search for new particles. Computer programs are used to simulate particle collisions. Those so-called event generators can be used to prove theories and compare their results to actual collisions from the colliders. Even though those programs run on powerful computer systems, the even

The infraorder Ceratopsia, or horned dinosaurs, within the clade Dinosauria, shows a specific, restrained migratory pattern. Therefore, the classical view presented by Sereno (1999), of a monodirectal migratory event from Asia to North America via the Bering’s Strait has been commonly accepted in its simplicity. Another hypothe-sis presented during the same time by Chinnery (1998) suggests a migra

Standardmodellen inom partikelfysik beskriver de kända fundamentalkrafterna och klassifiserar alla de experimentellt observerade elementarpartiklarna. Allmänt sett anses den vara en av de största bedrifterna inom modern vetenskap, tack vare sin förmåga att sammanlänka teoretiska förutsägelser med fenomenologi. Men trots att nästan hela vår förståelse av den subatomära världen ryms i denna modell sThroughout this work we investigate a trinification-based grand unification theory (GUT) with a global family symmetry, as a radiative origin of the Standard Model (SM). We show that after spontaneous symmetry breaking of the trinification gauge group, we can in theory construct an effective left-right symmetric model (LRSM) which breaks to the SM gauge group through radiative breaking induced by

Syftet med studien är att undersöka om historisk handelsvolym innehåller information om framtida aktieavkastning och i förlängningen om en högvolymspremie existerar.

This paper examines conventional bankruptcy prediction models under the thesis that such models perform better when applied to adjusted financial statement data, rather than to reported data. This hypothesis is tested by revisiting already existing bankruptcy models as well as developing two new models for predicting imminent corporate failures. The result of the study reveals that financial adjus

Since the 1950, Europe has been pursuing to mimic the innovative success of Silicon Valley through artificial innovative clusters or science parks. Today, science parks are abundant in Europe, yet research on their performance has mainly focused on their ability to produce successful new ventures. This thesis explores the role multinational enterprises (MNEs) have in the development of competences

This paper investigates the role of ethnicity in regional economic divergence across the Mexican states based on each state’s overall access to government services such as education, public infrastructure and healthcare based on the latest available data. The paper uses Mexico as a case study using the country’s three main ethnicities (Indigenous, Mestizo and European) as dependent variables for r

A large number of construction projects have been carried out on Swedish campuses over th

Purpose: The purpose and aim with this research was to understand how brands successfully can co-opt a social movement; specifically feminism, as part of their brand building-strategies. The phenomenon was explored by comparing one successful case, Libresse’s ‘RedFit’ campaign, with a relatively the less successful case; that is, H&M’s ‘Ladylike’ campaign. Methodology: This study takes a rela

This study examines the ambiguous relationship between increased democratic influence between elections and democratic equality. Initiatives to strengthen the possibilities for citizens to affect public policy are being suggested by the 2014 Commission on Democracy in order to decrease democratic inequality, but what consequences can be expected from such initiatives? This study investigates the m

Medling är ett snabbt tvistlösningsförfarande med förhållandevis låga kostnader. En hög andel av alla medlingar som företas resulterar i överenskommelser som i stor utsträckning efterlevs av parterna. Mot bakgrund av medlingens förtjänster som tvistlösningsmetod undersöker uppsatsen, med fokus på kommersiella tvister, på vilka sätt medling kan främjas och i vilken utsträckning det är rättfärdigat Mediation, or conciliation, is a fast dispute resolution method with relatively low costs. A large proportion of all mediation procedures appear to result in successful agreements that are complied with by the parties. While noting the merits of mediation as a dispute resolution method, this thesis investigates, with a focus on commercial disputes, in which ways mediation can be promoted and to wh

The aim of this thesis is to analyze and determine the meaning of the term “Beneficial Owner”, in the model treaty of the OECD and therefore its meaning in bilateral negotiated treaties based on the model treaty. The term’s legacy and application is presented. While the meaning and application of the term is being presented, its application as, as well as border to, anti-abuse rules are examined.

I anslutning till 2015 års flyktingvåg uppenbarades oklarheter i rättsläget med avseende på det svenska rättssystemets tillhandahållande av ställföreträdare för ensamkommande barn. Personer som är under 18 år betraktas enligt svensk rätt som omyndiga vilket innebär att barn saknar förmåga att med rättsligt bindande verkan fatta beslut i personliga angelägenheter och råda över sin egendom. EnsamkomIn 2015 Sweden received an unexpected number of refugees which revealed several flaws within the domestic regulations regarding representation of unaccompanied children. According to swedish legislation persons under the age of 18 lack the legal capacity to make decisions in personal and financial matters. Unaccompanied children who arrive in Sweden require a guardian who can look after the child’

Children working in mining related activities are not uncommon in Sierra Leone. Their involvement has become a matter of increasing global attention and significant measures have been taken at national and international levels to combat the problem. However its prevalence gives reasons for concern. In the case of Sierra Leone it has been argued that there has been a failure to carry out an analysi
