Digitalisering är utan tvekan 2000-talets viktigaste bidragande orsak till utvecklingen av den globala ekonomin. Skatteplanering och skatteflykt bland multinationella bolag urholkar nationers skattebas som finansierar det offentliga välfärdssystemet såsom sjukvård, utbildningsinstitutioner och infrastruktur. Digitala affärsmodeller genererar intäkter annorlunda än traditionella affärsmodeller ocDuring the 21th century, digitalization is considered the most important development of the modern global economy. Tax avoidance is a growing issue for governments globally, that are loosing lots of tax money to finance public welfare systems supporting healthcare, educational institutions and infrastructures. Value creation in digital business models generates profits different than traditional b

The freedom of establishment is an expression of the Internal Market. On the one hand, the EU tries to strengthen the Internal Market, but on the other hand, Member States have a fear to lose their national control, making them eager to restrict the free movements granted by the Internal Market doctrine. The contradiction becomes visible in regard to the cross-border movement of companies in the E

In the field of computational biology, fluorescence microscopy images often constitute the input source of information. The process of binarization of raw images to delineate interesting objects requires image segmentation into signal and background pixels. Several methods to perform image segmentation exist, the Otsu method being a popular unsupervised example. The Otsu method's lack of pro

Globalization has led to the emergence of global value chains (GVCs) and most of the world’s trade is now in intermediate inputs. This has raised questions about employment in GVCs and attracted the interest of researchers and policymakers alike, but is difficult to study empirically. This paper investigates job creation in simple and complex GVCs for 43 economies between 2000 and 2014 on the basi

Due to increasing awareness and consumer demands it has become important for companies to develop an economical and environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. The transition from fossil material to bio based is important for the future of people and planet, still, how the transformation should be implemented is yet unknown. In this report, the possibilities of

An experiment to study mirror symmetry in the mass A = 60 region was performed at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in 2020. The fusion-evaporation reaction 40Ca + 24Mg → 64Ge* at a beam energy of 106 MeV was used to populate excited states in 62Ge. The experimental setup used was made up of various detector systems, including Gammasphere for γ-ray detection, Microball in combination with two

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is undergoing a major upgrade to prepare for the High-Luminosity LHC. It will allow for many more particle collisions to occur. Some detectors that make up the LHC experiments must be replaced to withstand the harsher conditions. In particular, the inner tracking detector (ID) of the ATLAS experiment will be replaced by the new Inner Tracker (ITk). Every co

This paper is a discussion on the relevance of compassion regarding human rights in liberal states. The study focuses a great deal on detangling and distinguishing compassion from other related terms and meanings that are commonly used as equivalent, somewhat differing and sometimes separate from each other. For this, Martha Nussbaum's account on compassion is used as a starting-point. Compass

Titel- Sex and the city för män? ?En kvalitativ studie om manligheter i förändring Författare- Malvina Britts Avdelning- Avdelningen för Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap Problem: Området som min studie rör sig inom är representationen av maskulinitet. Förändringar i representationen av maskulinitet diskuteras i olika sammanhang och en specifik drama/komediserie, Entourage, har på sistone utmä

Abstract This thesis examines whether it is possible to ascertain a measurable difference between granted and refused grant applications with automatic methods. A corpus of project descriptions from the Swedish Science Council was examined with different classification techniques and using different linguistic features. A Naive Bayes classifier is shown to be a good predictor for this type of pro

The aim of this thesis is to investigate why the municipality of Lund has not done more, in relation to LundaMaTs, to inform and promote the purchasing of organic provisions to the public. This is of interest since it is determined in the Rio Declaration and Agenda 21 that the current unsustainable production and consumption patterns need to change. The local authorities play an important role

The frequent replacement of office furniture contributes to the increasing production of solid waste that leads to the use of more landfill space. Germany only produces approximately 700000 t of office furniture waste per year whereas most of this waste goes to landfill or incin-eration (Nolte, 2001). In addition, there are concerns about the use of hazardous chemicals in office furniture producti

Presentation of problem: The movement of sediment parallel to the coast by waves and currents is known as longshore sediment transport or littoral transport. Throughout the years, researchers have found that knowledge of longshore sediment transport is important in connection with coastal engineering design, such as construction of breakwaters at harbour entrances, dredging of navigation channels,

The present study investigated the effects of three factors on the level of realism in frequency judgements. These factors were: Instruction (No correction for guessing/Correction for guessing), Format (whether the frequency judgements were made in terms of absolute numbers or in percent) and Difficulty level (easy/hard set of questions). All three factors were found to have a significant effect o

The present research is aimed at analyzing spirituality according to the way it is presented in academic management literature. To uncover comprehensively way this phenomenon is described, a thorough scientific analysis of the selected articles was performed including coding the materials, systematically categorizing them as well as critically investigating particular aspects. While conducting the

Sub-Saharan Africa suffers from a severe infrastructure deficit, particularly in the power sector and this is broadly recognised as a barrier to poverty alleviation, economic growth and sustainable development in the region. At the same time, the region is rich in natural resources and the mining sector, which already makes a significant contribution to national economies is currently expanding an

This thesis investigates the nonlinear detector response to Laser Induced Phosphorescence signal originating from the CdWO4 phosphor. A matrix method is utilized to map the detectors linearity for decay-time determination as function of detector gain and number of photons reaching the detector. The Matrix is created by scanning the energy of the laser beam hitting the phosphor thus changing the ph
