Along these routes new trade settlements would appear, the emporia.

Eftersom ingen problemformulering eller specifikt fokusområde gavs gällande installationsprocessen utvecklades projektet konstant vartefter vi fick ytterligare insikter gällande installationsprocessen. I takt med att olika prThis master thesis was conducted in collaboration with ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems. The aim was to find solutions for increasing the efficiency of the installation of their SL500 sliding door. With no given problem within the installation process, or specific part to focus on, the project evolved as more insights were gained into the installation process. As different problems emerged the project
This thesis examines how individuals form and enact political vegan identity through everyday practice, and the role digital media platforms play in mediating that process. Drawing on 12 semi-structured interviews with vegan participants across 4 groups defined by age and length of vegan practice – New Sprouts, Early Roots, Late Bloomers, and The Oakes – the study traces the specific processes thr
Enligt prospect theory (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979) utvärderas utfall som vinster och förluster i relation till en referenspunkt, vilket ger upphov till systematiska mönster i beslutsfattande under osäkerhet, inklusive certainty effect och reflection effect. Samtidigt kan individuella skillnader i riskbenägenhet också påverka ekonomiska val, eftersom högre finansiell riskbenägenhet är associeradAccording to prospect theory (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979), outcomes are evaluated as gains and losses relative to a reference point, giving rise to systematic patterns of decision-making under uncertainty, including the certainty effect and reflection effect. Yet, individual differences in risk propensity may also influence economic choice, as higher financial risk propensity is associated with
Understanding the contraceptive decision making process of women has been the subject of a number of studies. However, few have employed economic models that explored the role that future costs may play in a woman’s choice of contraception. The objective of this paper is to use an economic framework that takes into account contraceptive costs at the time of consumption (i.e. the presence of health
This econometric study examines the relationship between expected returns and volatility in ten industrialized countries. It includes three models; GARCH-M, EGARCH-M and the PARCH-M model. Furthermore, it investigates if the results change with the use of several time intervals, different data frequency and the inclusion of macroeconomic variables into the models. The results provide evidence that
The economic crisis and its negative effects on different industries is a very important and extensively analyzed topic today; this paper reflects these issues and aims at exploring two specific topics – the change in default risk in different industries during the economic downturn and the extent of this change as of before and after the crisis. The industries in the research have been categorize
Ian McEwan's novels Atonement and Saturday open up for discussion of class. Present-day society gives people access to art and literature to a greater extent than before, which evens out the divisions of knowledge over class boundaries. McEwan seems to suggest that literature can pave the way for overcoming class differences through sympathy and identification. This essay aims to examine what
We revisit the Scottish care reform of 2002 to estimate the effect of free formal personal care for the elderly on informal caregiving and labour market participation using a difference-in-differences approach. We find that previous studies’ results suffer from bias due to violations of identifying assumptions. As a result, the effects on informal care are inconclusive. Nonetheless, we identify a
Purpose: The purpose of our work is to gain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of “quiet quitting”. We aim to challenge its various manifestations and question the existing diversity in definitions by examining different work behaviours of quiet quitting. In addition, we examine the reasons, while paying particular attention to the supervisor-subordinate relationship. Methodology: This study
Under det senaste decenniet har Europeiska kommissionen inlett utredningar om statligt stöd rörande skattearrangemang mellan flera EU-medlemsstater och stora multinationella företag. I flera av utredningarna hävdade kommissionen att statsstöd hade förekommit eftersom de nationella skattemyndigheterna hade godkänt skatteupplägg som inte var förenliga med armlängdsprincipen. Även om det argumentet iDuring the last decade, the European Commission has launched state aid investigations into tax arrangements between several EU member states and large multinational corporations. In many of these investigations, the Commission argued that state aid was present because the national tax agencies endorsed transfer pricing practices that were not compliant with the arm’s length principle. While this a
I believe that it is uncomplicated to present a plausible rational account of the final result of the negotiations. There are also reasons to believe that normative considerations played a role in Norway´s decision to unilaterally increase its contribution to the Central and Eastern European countries. The purpose of this paper however is to show that in order to achieve a deeper understanding of
This thesis examines the Energy Charter Treaty's (ECT) Fair and Equitable Treatment (FET) standard, how it was modernized in 2024, and how this modernization affects the legal position of developing and energy-exporting nations, especially those in the Caspian Sea region. The goal is to determine whether modernization broadens states' regulatory latitude to pursue the energy transition and
