This thesis analysis the connection between remittances and economic growth in the Eurozone. The purpose is to control for remittances impact on GDP growth in absence of Dutch Disease to see if current theory holds. In remittance-research it is assumed that the lack of transmission between the positive micro-economic impact and economic growth is much due to disruptive real exchange appreciation k

Bakgrund: Bröstcancer är en av de vanligaste dödsorsakerna bland medelålders kvinnor i Sverige. För att patienten ska tas sig igenom den påfrestande upplevelsen av bröstcancer och dess behandlingar är information viktigt.

Efter folkomröstningen om Brexit den 23 juni 2016 kommer Storbritannien förmodligen att lämna EU. En viktig fråga är vad som kommer hända med Storbritanniens kontroll över företagskoncentrationer. Frågan är speciellt intressant med tanke på EU-rätt och den brittiska lämna-EU kampanjen, utifrån att företagskoncentrationer ofta har en internationell dimension och affekterar konkurrensrätt på en natiAfter the Brexit referendum on the 23rd of June 2016 it is evident that the UK might be leaving the EU. In light of EU law, and the leave-campaign, the question of what will happen to UK merger control post-Brexit is especially riveting due to the internationality of merger control and the high impact of EU-control on competition law. Thus, the purpose of this thesis is to examine what would be th

This study explored the effect of cognitive workload on shooting performance and quiet eye duration (QED) using a Stroop based handgun-shooting task (Stroop shooting). Furthermore, the difference between the reverse Stroop effect and the traditional Stroop effect when shooting based on the Attentional Control Theory was assessed. The methods used were partially based on previously published resear

Post-sale restrictions in patent and trademark licensing agreements and their validity and compliance with competition law emphasize the problematic to what extent the intellectual property holder may enforce its IP rights.

With the shift from collective to individual, people started to increasingly reflect on their position in the society and potential for individual growth. Previously inaccessible services and initiatives promoting self-development emerged. However, women were found to have rather limited access to those opportunities, due to boundaries of social and cultural nature. In tourism and risk studies, th

Bakgrund: Fallerande kommunikation inom ett operationsteam ökar risken för morbiditet och mortalitet vid kirurgi. WHO har utarbetat Surgical Safety Checklist vilken har associerats med ökad patientsäkerhet och förebyggande av vårdskador. Dock finns det påvisade skillnader i hur checklistan används och följs mellan sjukhus. Syfte: Att jämföra operationssjuksköterskans uppfattning avseende delaktigh

I takt med den globala urbaniseringen växer städerna. I storstäderna finns en stor brist på obebyggd mark vilket leder till att städerna förtätas, något som medför nya risker när en större mängd människor befinner sig på en mindre yta. Att inkludera riskhantering i stadsbyggnadsprocessen är därför en av flera viktiga delar i utvecklingen av städerna. Processen för stadsbyggnad kan ses som en proceThe global urbanisation is causing cities to grow. A shortage of unused land in the metropolises, cause a concentration of the cities, presenting new risks as a bigger population occupy a small area. For this reason, including risk management in the urban planning process is one of many important factors in the development of cities. In order to ease the process of risk management and improve tra

During the last three years the Malmö City Library made a transition from the Swedish classification system SAB to the internationally established Dewey Decimal Classification. The Malmö City Library is the first public library of a larger magnitude to make such a transition in Sweden. The aim of this thesis is to contribute with knowledge and reflections about how the Dewey Decimal Classification

The aim of this paper is to conceptualise the integration of designed retail applications into retail settings, through selected case studies, and to contribute to an increased understanding of what happens when the retailers try to integrate smart tools into the retail setting, by looking at retailers’ practices from the consumers’ point of view, and how do they change the interactions with servi

"Here, there is only love" - A qualitative interview study about the players experience of the football team Gatans Lag The aim of this study was to describe and analyse how the players on the Swedish football team Gatans Lag experience how the organisation contributes to their life situation.

The new-economy encompasses a variety of industries, particularly pharmaceuticals and online-based companies. These may hold strong market positions, or be strong future competitors, despite having low turnover. Where foreclosure techniques to curtail competition are employed, the concentration may result in a long-lasting anti-competitive impact on the market. However, due to low or insufficient

Many driving schools request cheap, safe alternatives to driving lessons. Some VR (Virtual Reality) car simulators already exist today, but they are either too expensive or not adapted to the Swedish trac system. The purpose of this master thesis has been to investigate whether a virtual environment can be realistic enough for a driving school student to actually benet from using it. To answer the

Based on self-perceived stories described in literature and documentary films, this study aims at analyzing how individuals, from an attachment theory perspective, feel that have been affected by growing up in a family in which one or both parents have an intellectual disability. Since the purpose of the study was to understand a context rather than explain and generalize it, a qualitative documen

“Silences haunt every archive”, says Rodney Carter, words that illustrate the significance of the archival practice in selecting and arranging the documents that reflect the past. This study begins in the notion that the archivist’s profession represents a certain form of power, manifested in this practice. What sort of history and which stories that will be known in the future lies very much in t

The purpose of this study was to explore professional therapists’ experiences of personal therapy in an attempt to understand its purpose.

This study explores author texts on public libraries in the United Kingdom between the years 2010 and 2018. The texts appear in a national public debate about the value, purpose and direction of the library service following a significant number of library closures and funding cuts. These were the result of the global financial crisis of 2007 and 2008 and the subsequent implementation of the auste

The aim of this master’s thesis is to examine how fiction authors seek information in their writing, which still is a vastly under-researched subject within Library and Information Science. Why then are there so few of us in this discipline who ask themselves which information behaviour and information needs that exist among the ones writing the literature filling our libraries? This study was car

Academic libraries provide support to researchers, but this group is diverse and the particular situation of doctoral students is often overlooked or seen as uniform. To inform the development of such research support, to meet the needs of all doctoral students, it is of utmost importance to grasp the diversity within the group. The purpose of this study was thus to map this research field and sys
