The purpose of this study is to advance the theoretical knowledge of internationalisation of small and medium-sized firms from an individual perspective. In particular, the research takes a cognitive approach in understanding how experiential knowledge shapes entrepreneurs’ uncertainty perception and thus their willingness to recognise and act upon export opportunities. Six in-depth, semi-structur
Jag har valt att skriva min uppsats om intagnas kontakter med omvärlden. Inledningsvis behandlar jag på vilka grunder den lokala kriminalvårdsmyndigheten (KVM) fattar beslut om dessa kontakter och hur kontrollåtgärderna fungerar. Vidare går jag igenom på vilka punkter kontrollerna kan komma att kränka de mänskliga fri- och rättigheterna. En förvaltningsmyndighet som kriminalvården har olika krav p
This study contributes to the extant research on foreclosure by focusing on the relevance of lender-borrower relations. Donald Black’s theory of the behaviour of law is assessed by examining the association between revocation of compulsory sale by the lender and four different variables, proxying variations in the scope, history, and frequency of contact between the lender and the borrower. This a
In this paper I address two concerns with Kelly Trogdon’s grounding mechanism view, i.e. the idea that metaphysical explanation can be modeled on causal-mechanical explanation. The first concern threatens to undermine the unity that grounding-mechanical explanations imposes on metaphysical explanation; and the second concern requires the grounding mechanic to put forth a formal condition on ground
Anorectal malformations (ARM) are a spectrum of congenital malformations, specifically defined by the absence of a normal anal opening. These conditions are treated surgically by posterior sagittal anorectoplasty and, in cases with perineal fistulas, perineal skin advancement is required to cover the tissue defect. Complications involving wound dehiscence are frequent, and may be due to stretching
Historically, companies have communicated taxes as a burden, as the benefits provided by governments are not perceived to be in proportion to their payments. With sustainable development becoming central in many policy areas, new discourses including ‘fair’ or ‘sustainable’ tax have become omnipresent in public talk on taxes.

How macroeconomic crises affect firms' environmental sustainability strategies is an open question. We study the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the environmental sustainability strategies of firms listed on the OMXNasdaq stock exchange in Sweden. The analysis is based on a survey distributed twice, once during the summer of 2020 and once during the summer of 2021 with detailed questions relate
Although most individuals consider gambling to be an innocent and fun activity, when it develops into problem gambling (PG), it can have detrimental outcomes to one’s life, such as over-indebtedness. This study explores the role of maladaptive personality traits and gender in both PG and over-indebtedness, in an online sample of 1479 adult gamblers in Sweden. Participants were administered the Pro
This study sought to investigate unaccompanied migrant children’s experiences in different forms of Swedish Social Work. The primary goal of the study was to obtain a general picture of how the children perceived treatment from authority figures in their daily lives. The study was made in the light of current political events in Europe, where migrant children have been both criminalized and victim
I över tio år har Sverige fått kritik från EU-kommissionen för sin implementering av ramvattendirektivet. Denna kritik har delvis hanterats i proposition 2017/18:243 Vattenmiljö och vattenkraft som kom i april 2018 med förslag för att åtgärda bristerna. Fokus för denna uppsats är den delen av kommissionens kritik som rör införlivandet av miljömålen för vattenstatusen i ytvattenförekomster i artikeFor more than ten years the European Commission has criticised Sweden’s implementation of the Water Framework Directive. The critique resulted in a government bill (prop. 2017/18:243 Vattenmiljö och vattenkraft) in April 2018, to solve the shortcomings. This thesis focuses on the Commission’s criticism of the implementation of the environmental objectives for the status of bodies of surface water
The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyze the development of the agriculture in the county of Skåne (Scania) and to see if there are explanations to be found why the agricultural land is exploited today. By theories from human ecology I discuss the interconnections between human, nature and society both in a historical and a present perspective. Focus is on how the landscape, humans an
This report investigates the impact of extinguishing sprays on residential fires, these sprays are a relatively new category of extinguishing equipment and therefore their actual effect on fires is generally unknown. Taking several factors such as human behavior and user error into account the report aims to give a comprehensive picture of potential risks and dangers connected to the usage of thes
A qualitative case study has been conducted about the management and use of operating instructions in a process plant in Sweden. The work was inspired by Dekker's notion of two paradigms in relation to procedures, where Model 1 is authoritarian and top-down, and Model 2 is flexible and consultative (Dekker, 2003). The results support Dekker's hypothesis, that organizations should strive to
The right to health for persons with disabilities in the global South is far from being realized. The 2011 World Report on Disability suggests that the majority of persons with disabilities live in low- and middle-income countries. Further studies suggest that around 80% of persons with disabilities in global South countries report poor health. With this in mind, this thesis will focus on the righ
This study aims to examine the challenges and practices of staff working at accommodations regulated by the Swedish Act concerning support and service for persons with certain functional impairments (LSS) when working with women with disabilities who have suffered from violence. Previous research shows that women with disabilities are at a greater risk of being victims of violence. Despite this kn
This thesis will research the Iranian state influence on repression in Iraq. In particular, it is a case study that will explore the Iranian state influence, in the form of ideological and financial influence, on pro-government militias in Iraq between 2014 and 2020. The main pro-government militias to be studied are the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), who were formed after the emergence of the
