Skatteverket uppmärksammade i en promemoria 2008 att det i stor utsträckning förekom skatteplanering med ränteupplägg. Skatteflyktlagen var inte tillämplig i dessa fall enligt regeringsrätten och Sverige valde att införa ränteavdragsbegränsningsregler 2009. Reglerna utvidgades 2013 för att den svenska bolagsskattebasen inte skulle urholkas. Till följd av Sveriges internationella åtaganden ändradesSwedish tax authorities discovered in a memo in 2008 that tax planning with deduction of interest were used in significant extent. The swedish tax avoidance law “Skatteflyktlagen” wasn’t applicable to these cases according to the supreme administrative court and Sweden choose to introduce interest limitation rules in 2009. The interest limitation rules were expand in 2013 in purpose to protect the

Thesis purpose: The aim of this study is to identify enablers and constraints for consumers to adopt food waste reduction apps. Consequently, it contributes to the field of innovation diffusion and, importantly, consumer adoption of technological innovations. Methodology: This exploratory study uses qualitative methods to investigate consumer values, expectations and experiences as the main unit

It is necessary for all industries to work actively to minimize their impact on the climate, including the construction industry, which accounts for a significant part of Sweden's total CO_2-emissions. Development to produce concrete and steel with more environmentally friendly processes is ongoing, but to lower emissions immediately and achieve long-term sustainability, we need to develop met

Turkey's turbulent political atmosphere and recent upturns in crime and youth unemployment make it an interesting context to study the role of civil society in dealing with implications of socioeconomic disadvantage. The aim of this paper is to investigate how Turkey's NGO sector works in minority communities in ways that can hinder criminality in disadvantaged youth. In order to understan

Activation measures were implemented as a condition for social assistance in Sweden in the 1990s. Generally, the goal has been to promote the transition from welfare to work and to(re)integrate people dependent on social assistance into the labour market. Social assistance is regulated by the Social Services Act, which is a framework law that gives municipalities and individual social workers exte

Cubosomes are nanoparticles that are prepared by dispersing a liquid crystalline cubic phase. Typically, the cubosomes are stabilized by copolymers to prevent the colloids from aggregating. In this thesis galactoglucomannans (GGM) from softwood was evaluated as a stabilizer for monoolein cubosomes and triolein emulsions. Galactoglucomannans are the most abundant hemicellulose in softwood and have

Various recyclability by design (RBD) guidelines for multilayer plastic flexible packaging (MPFP) were assessed for consistency among parameter values. 9% consistency was observed, which is on the lower end of devised consistency scale. Poly-ethylene and poly-propylene are the two major emerging recycling streams in Danone Nutricia’s six key EU market countries. However, a need for consolidated ce

Children can be exposed to chemical substances by applying cosmetic products. Using cosmetic constitute a health risk when a cosmetic product contains toxic substances. There are today many different cosmetic products especially developed to be used by children. According to the rules stated by EU legislation 1223/2009, cosmetic products must be correctly labelled and must not to contain the forbi

Kapaciteten är ett ständigt återkommande problem på den svenska järnvägen och allt fler resenärer har börjat välja tåg som färdmedel, detta medför att kapacitetsproblemet bara kommer öka. Kollektivresandet i Sverige har under det senaste decenniet ökat markant och det är främst resandet på järnväg som ökat. Denna ökning har även påverkat Skåne där pendling till arbete och utbildning idag har bliviCapacity is a constant problem on the Swedish railway. More and more travellers have begun to choose trains as a mean of transport due to the low environmental impact and its convenient way of transport. Public transport in Sweden has increased significantly in the last decade, and it is mainly rail travel that has increased. This increase has also affected Skåne, where commuting to work and educa

Det globala skatteavtalsnätverket består idag av mer än 3000 skatteavtal. Ett av skatteavtalens primära syfte är att undvika att skattesubjekt blir beskattade för en och samma inkomst två gånger. Genom uppnåendet av syftet att undvika dubbelbeskattning främjas globalisering och internationell tillväxt. Skatteavtal är folkrättsliga traktat och ingåendet av ett bi – eller multilateralt skatteavtal fToday, the global tax treaty network consists of more than 3,000 tax treaties. One of the primary purposes of tax treaties is to avoid double taxation. By achieving the objective of avoiding double taxation, globalization and international growth are promoted. There is no universal system on how countries look at the relationship between tax treaties entered into and domestic law. It is usually sa

Nanowires have attracted interest as fundamental building blocks for electronic and optoelectronic devices as well as for fundamental research. Photonic studies of single nanowire devices typically involve patterning of metal electrodes for electronic access, yet plasmonic ef- fects between the metal contacts and the light source may perturb experimental measurements. An alternative to conventiona

This thesis analyzes how mindfulness is translated into a business concept for the organizational realm in Bogotá, Colombia. How does an originally “mystic”, eastern esoteric concept like mindfulness manage to travel into and adapt to a material Western setting, specifically Bogotá? Previous research on mindfulness in businesses often analyzes it as an accepted tool for executives and organization

Seafood can be a potential source of contaminants and when consumed contribute to an increased exposure of these substances. Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are contaminants accumulating in our seafood and are therefore an emerging concern. It has been suggested that cooking seafood can influence the concentration of heavy metals and other organic contaminants, however, few studies ha
