The area of Västra Hamnen within Malmö municipality has since the area’s reconstruction, from industrial harbour grounds into a residential area in 2001, been regarded as the city’s frontrunner in sustainable urban planning. In this role the area has worked to garner much international attention for Malmö, while at the same time becoming one of the most exclusive areas in the city, with some of th
The difference between the English North and South has long been a defining feature within the political and economical debate of the United Kingdom. Research has traditionally been done either explaining the regional inequalities of the region or the examination of the difference in material indicators such as income and employment. This thesis explores the role of the media and how the media dis
The EC provisions on fiscal State aid have since 1997 become an important part of the work against harmful tax competition. The application of the State aid rules to harmful measures is a reversal of the common direction of aid (i.e. leading to preferential tax treatment). This creates several interest-ing legal problems, for example if these rules provide a suitable method to tackle harmful tax c

The purpose of our paper is to examine the relationship and interactions between oil price movements and stock market indexes in main two oil exporting countries - Russia and Norway from January 1998 to March 2011, and test how and to what extent oil prices together with other variables influence stock markets. Apart from crude oil price, we also include to our model some macroeconomic explanatory

Tetra Pak is a pioneer within the packaging of diaries and food. The company has been profitable in most situations which have created a state of mind where quality
Using qualitative interviews with twenty recent graduates, this study explores how participants understand and experience career in the aftermath of the crisis. Overall, this study suggests that several dominant theories and practical storylines surrounding notions of career and career development present a static view that fails to take important contexts into account. We aim to provide a deeper
This study will address the party leader's personal popularity effects on voters' voting behavior. To what extent are voters’ party choice influenced by the party leaders' popularity, if the electoral polls show any signs of party leader effects in the Swedish election results and whether some political parties are more sensitive to the effects of party leaders than others. The study w
Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om hur EU:s konkurrensrätt förhåller sig till rättsprincipen ne bis in idem. I och med att Förordning 1/2003 trädde i kraft 2004 så ändrades reglerna om tillämpning av EU:s konkurrensregler i grunden. I det nya moderniserade tillämpningssystemet på konkurrensrättens område så delar Kommissionen behörigheten att tillämpa EU:s konkurrensregler med nationella konkurrensThis paper addresses how the principle of ne bis in idem relates to the enforcement of EU competition law. Regulation 1/2003 came into force in 2004 and with this the enforcement system of EU competition law that had been in place for over 40 years was fundamentally reformed. Under the new modernized enforcement system of the EU competition rules, national competition authorities (NCAs) and nation
A recurring theme in debates on European Union politics is the lack of enthusiasm and involvement of European citizens in the decision-making and legislative procedures, which may appear complex and impermeable. While some scholars deny the existence of a democratic deficit, others fear that continued failure to bridge the gap between the political elite and the constituents will lead to an ever-d
Inom det som kallas projektfinansiering tillhandahåller långivare finansiering för utvecklingen av ett enskilt projekt. Ofta är sådan projektfinansiering kopplad till offentliga projekt. I Sverige har finansieringsmetoden projektfinansiering till exempel använts för att finansiera Arlandabanan. Själva idén med projektfinansiering är att det kassaflöde som projektet genererar ska användas och räckaUnder project finance lenders provide finance for the development of a single project. The method of project finance is often connected to major public initiatives. In Sweden project finance has for example been used to finance Arlandabanan. The point of using project finance is for the revenues generated by the finished project to serve as a monetary resource for the repayment of the loan. Thus,
För att utöka biogasproduktionen i Västra Götalandsregionen (VGR) kan restströmmar från jordbrukssektorn fungera som en storskalig leverantör av biomassa. Produktionen av biogas minskar beroendet av fossila bränslen och rötresten som bildas kan också återföras till jordbrukssektorn, vilket skapar ett slutet kretslopp. I detta examensarbete granskades utökningen genom en kartläggning av biogasproduTo expand the biogas production in Region Västra Götaland (RVG), residual streams from the agricultural sector can function as a large-scale supplier of biomass. The production of biogas decreases the dependence of fossil fuels and the digestate that is formed can also be returned to the agricultural sector, creating a closed loop. The expansion was assessed in this thesis by the investigation of
The brown bears, Ursus arctos L., in the Scandinavian peninsula were distributed in almost all counties before aimed reduction during the 1700-1900s (Swenson et al. 1995). From 1981-2013 the population increased more than five times (Chapron et al. 2014) to about 3000 individuals (Kindberg et al. 2014). The aim of the master thesis was to find the geographical expansion rate in this bear populatio
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) is progressing to take over decision making in different industries, the threat that comes with the use of these systems is also increasing. One major threat is the risk of these systems acting biased, causing discrimination to parts of the population. To tackle the risk of AI systems acting biased it is important to understand how these biases originate in the firs
This paper explores the extent to which international and regional human rights law places obligations on States to protect the interests of undocumented migrant workers in countries of employment. The purpose of this thesis is to examine Italy’s immigration policies and work-related regulations, and determine whether or not Italy lives up to the international norms with respect to the labour-rela
The science of climate change stipulates that fossil fuels must be kept in the ground in order for earth's global temperature to stay below the 1.5 degrees' Celsius increase pre-ordained as safe for continued human civilization, and to avoid catastrophic natural, social, and economic disasters. Although this is a scientifically proven and agreed upon, governments around the world continue
Skyddet för non-refoulementprincipen uttrycks bland annat i Flyktingkonventionen, Tortyrkonvention och EKMR. Principen stadgar ett skydd för flyktingar att inte bli återsända till ett land där deras mänskliga rättigheter riskerar kränkas. Inbördeskriget i Syrien har genererat att mer människor än någonsin befinner sig på flykt runt om i världen. En överhängande majoritet har flytt till grannländerThe protection of non-refoulement principle is expressed in the Refugee Convention, the Torture Convention and the ECHR. The Principle statutes protection of refugees to not be returned to a country where their human rights are at risk of being impaired. The civil war in Syria has generated that more people than ever are fleeing around the world for protection. A majority have fled to neighbouring
