Issues related to attribution of profits already exist in the traditional economic framework and are of a different nature, however these issues seem to become more bothersome in transactions conducted in e-commerce context, with an electronic economy. The matter is similar to the traditional economic problems in regard to transfer pricing adjustments; however these issues are much more complex du
'Identity' is a frequently used concept within the field of European studies, which has resulted in a myriad of different perspectives on what its meaning entails. As such, the meaning of identity is often claimed to be ambiguous, which causes problems for methodology related issues. This thesis suggests that the field of European Studies as a research area has to adjust its approach to th

Sammanfattning Sverige har upprepade gånger fått kritik av olika FN – organ för att inte följa den internationella folkrätten för de rättigheter som ursprungsbefolkningar har, i Sveriges fall samerna. Kritiken handlar bland annat om samernas bristande inflytande på beslut som angår dem. Gruvnäringen anses vara ett stort problem då gruvnäringens intressen sätts före de samiska rättigheterna samtidiSummary Sweden has repeatedly been criticized by the UN for not following international human rights law for indigenous peoples, in the case of Sweden, the Saami. The criticism include the Saami people's lack of influence on decisions affecting them.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur journalister konstruerar och tolkar vissa händelser utifrån mediernas logiker. Genom att studera ett uppmärksammat fall, en misshandel av sex feministiska demonstranter i Malmö den 8:e mars 2014, har det varit möjligt för oss att söka svar på varför vissa händelser blir nyheter samt hur och varför dessa i sin tur vinklas för att locka läsare. Med hjälp av
Syfte: Syftet med den här studien är att kartlägga hur personer med inflytande över inköp resonerar kring sin relation till leverantörer och potentialen med sociala medier i den interaktionen. Särskilt fokus ligger på problemlösning i vid mening, eftersom det är en central aspekt av kund-leverantörs-förhållandet. Metod: Det vetenskapsteoretiska perspektivet är konstruktionism. En kvalitativ uppsa

Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen bland kvinnor i Sverige och även i övriga världen. Årligen drabbas ungefär 8400 kvinnor av bröstcancer och ungefär 1400 avlider. Mammografiscrenning är en undersökning som kan upptäcka bröstcancer i ett tidigt skede och minska dödligheten bland kvinnor i åldern 40-74 år. Studier har visat att upplevelser av smärta påverkade kvinnors beslut att deltaga reg
In this study, I demonstrate that social hierarchy and power are important aspects for understanding the use of epistemic and evidential stance verbs in computer-mediated communication. The data for the study come from an online bulletin board about rhythmic gymnastics, where the construction of social roles is believed to play a role in the expression of stance. The members of the community are d
Air pollution is a serious problem today, both from an environmental and from a health point of view. Especially in cities, particles smaller than 10 µm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10) can reach high concentrations. These particles are dangerous, even at low concentrations, since they are small enough to enter the lungs. In order to estimate the concentration of air pollutants, different measureme
Syftet med undersökningen är att förstå vad som ligger till grund för konsumtion av mode i lågprissegmentet. Mer specifikt, den analyserar hur inkomstförändringar och konjunktursvängningar påverkar konsumtionen av modevaror utifrån data över H&Ms och KappAhls försäljning under åren 1992-2012.

This thesis explores the currently most common ways of exegetically approaching the so called Imprecatory psalms, based on post WWII commentaries regarding Ps 58, 109, 137 and 139 – all known for their harsh language. Imprecations are seldom included in modern Christian worship – exemplified by (for example) the Roman-Catholic prayer book Liturgy of the Hours (1970) where several psalms have been
The recent European sovereign-debt crisis has made it clear that exposures towards sovereigns contain credit risk. However, according to the Basel framework's standardized approach banks are not required to hold any regulatory capital for highly rated sovereigns. In response, this thesis develops a shadow rating approach model for sovereign probability of default estimation, subsequently deter

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether evacuating people can be directed by using red and green flashing lights. This was investigated by evacuation experiments in two different virtual environments conducted in the Virtual Reality Lab in Lund. The purpose of the first experiment was to examine whether people make the same choice of exits in Virtual Reality as in real evacuation exper
