I de flesta av EU:s medlemsstater kan bolag inom samma koncern resultatutjämna mellan sig. Förutsatt att bolagen har hemvist i samma medlemsstat kan ett bolag som går med vinst utjämna denna mot ett annat koncernbolags förluster.

Vikingatiden har haft en viktig funktion i konstruktioner av kollektiva identiteter, och i sökandet efter relevanta förfäder, vilket passar bra ur ett historiekulturellt perspektiv.När medicinprofessorn Olof Rudbeck skrev sitt
