Economic reality constitutes a fundamental criterion for the application of the common VAT system. Although its reference by the CJEU has increased over the past decades, significant legal uncertainty does still exist regarding its origin, legal status, functioning and terminology. Van Doesum and Nellen have identified two functions of economic reality. In this regard, its benchmark of VAT reality

In the context of increasing welfare chauvinism in the Swedish right wing, and a mainstreaming of far right nationalist ideology, it has become increasingly important to analyze the racialized and classed implications of restrictive welfare discourse. Anchored in the feminist, antiracist and postcolonial theoretical field, this thesis analyzes welfare discourse in officially published political te

Purpose: This thesis aims to understand the deeper reasoning behind the individual’s decision to join and work in a start-up. This ought to bring insights into what founders should focus on when designing strategies for attracting and retaining employees in early-stage start-ups. Methodology: For this study 10 interviews with joiners in early-stage start-ups were conducted. We apply an inductive q

Bakgrund: Barnmorskor på förlossningsavdelning delar både glädje och sorg med den födande kvinnan och partnern. Intrauterin fosterdöd (IUFD) är något som barnmorskan ibland kan behöva möta och innebär att fostret dör i magen efter vecka 22+0. Syfte: Att undersöka barnmorskors upplevelser och behov av stöd i samband med intrauterin fosterdöd. Metod: Studien var en kvalitativ intervjustudie med indu

Kvantdatorer har fått mycket fokus i media de senaste åren på grund av sin potentiella förmåga att lösa problem som är för tidskrävande för att låta sig lösas på klassiska datorer. Kvantdatorer skiljer sig i grunden från dagens datorer, genom att bygga på gåtfulla kvantmekaniska egenskaper. En sådan är kvantsuperposition, som innebär att en partikel kan vara i flera kvanttillstånd samtidigt. AntagQuantum annealing provides a promising avenue for obtaining good approximate solutions to difficult optimization problems. Protein folding represents one such problem. For testing novel algorithms and technologies, simplified lattice models are well suited, as they represent considerable computational challenges despite their simplicity. One such model is the HP model, where the protein is represe
