This paper estimates the influence that rural-to-urban commuting has on rural employment growth, and whether the strength and spatial reach of this effect depend on commuters' levels of education. A main finding is that rural-to-urban commuting has a robust positive impact on rural employment growth in services and retail. There is no significant difference in how far these effects reach into rura

Aims: We aimed to evaluate the potential relation between the incidence of (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) acute pancreatitis (AP) and alcohol consumption in the general population, and whether the occurrence of AP shows any seasonal variation, particularly in relation to periods with expected increased alcohol consumption.Methods: All patients with first-time AP between 2003 and 2012 in a well-defi

Electricity has been regarded as a typical example of a general purpose technology and important for the surge both in energy productivity and overall productivity in the American economy in the 1920s. This view was challenged by Nicholas and Moser (2004) based on patent statistics. We argue that other methods are required for studying productivity effects and propose cointegration analyses. We de

In Danish literature from the early 1970s, it was suggested that the freedom of speech should have a preferred position in relation to other constitutional rights.

Constitutional rules about the freedom and security of the individual should be supervised mos

In numerous social control settings, staff routinely write case histories on clients to assist colleagues and authorities in treatment decisions. In this article, we examine how such institutional writing constructs ‘working versions’ of youngsters, portraying their objects of care as personally troublesome. Simultaneously, the institution is portrayed as facelessly, uniformly and collectively rem

Editionsyrkandet måste ta sikte på en handling som är identifierad, innehas, kan antas vara av betydelse som bevis och som är rättsligt rel

Offentlig upphandling bygger på EU-rättens grundläggande principer vilka bland annat syftar till att säkerställa rättvisa och konkurrens. När ett kontrakt har ingåtts är möjligheterna att ändra dess innehåll under löptiden därför strikt begränsade. Ändrings- eller optionsklausuler utgör dock ett undantag från denna huvudregel och medger ändringar av upphandlade kontrakt utan att ett nytt upphandliPublic procurement is based on the fundamental principles of EU law which aim to ensure justice and competition, among other things. Once a contract has been concluded, the possibilities to modify its content during its term are therefore strictly limited. However, review or option clauses constitute an exception to this general rule, allowing changes to procured contracts without the need for a n

Våldtäktsbestämmelsen har varit föremål för flera stora reformer, bland annat införandet av frivillighetsrekvisitet 1 juli 2018. Denna uppsats ämnar att undersöka tolkningen av frivillighetsrekvisitet där den tilltalade och målsäganden har en bakgrund av tidigare sexuell kontakt. Studien fokuserar särskilt på hur domstolarna använder information om parternas agerande före, under och efter den aktu
