Gender equality is a global crucial topic all the time. Nowadays, it is visible that women still suffer gender discrimination in various fields. It is necessary to study women’s contribution to society development. Using cross-country and panel regressions, I investigate whether gender gaps in political participation affect economic growth during the period 1991-2013 using data up to 30 countries

This study investigates the influence of CEO characteristics on corporate cash holdings. Previous research has already led to an extensive body of firm specific determinants of such, which connects tradeoff, agency and other theories.

I den här uppsatsen undersöks begreppet ekopoesi med hjälp av teoretiska perspektiv från ekokritiken och nymaterialistiska teorier som betonar att diskurs och materia inte kan skiljas åt utan är korskopplade och sammantvinnade i en materiell-semiotisk verklighet. Bengt Emil Johnson identifieras som en föregångare till en samtida poesi som inte endast behandlar ekologiska teman utan även använder s
För att resandet med tåg ska vara säkert, tillgängligt och effektivt krävs bra och välfungerande informationssystem. Resenärer bör kunna känna sig säkra i plattformsmiljön och det ska vara enkelt att orientera sig och planera ditt resandeutbyte. Det är också viktigt att sträva efter att hela tiden gå mot en mer tillgänglig kollektivtrafik. Det här arbetet syftar till att ta fram en teknisk lösniTo accomplish safe, accessible and effective travel by train, a well-functioning passenger information system is required. This thesis aims at providing a technical solution for a system able to indicate the position of arriving trains at the platform. This will be achieved with the help of receded LED lighting within the inner marking of the safety zone. The lighting system will also give warnin

Uppdragsledning är en viktig del i järnvägsprojekt och avgörande för ett framgångsrikt projekt. Utveckling i uppdragskaraktär och utformning under de senaste åren har lett till nya projektmetodiker. Metodikerna kan hantera stora och komplexa uppdrag genom anpassning efter förändring i projekt och dess omgivning. Agil är en av metodikerna som detta arbete behandlar. För att undersöka implementering
EU’s and the Swedish government’s requirements to lower the energy consumption for buildings are getting stricter. In April 30 2014 the law on energy metering (SFS 2014: 267) was issued. The law deals with energy metering in new construction and reconstruction, during 2015 a decision must be taken on how measurement in existing buildings should be handled. Individual metering and charging (IMC) co

Denna uppsats syftar att besvara frågan när kausalitet föreligger för revisorers skadeståndsansvar. Denna fråga har varit aktuell sedan det kända Prosolvia-målet kom för några år sedan.
