Current research suggests that human behaviour impacts on acceptance of new technology and that perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEU) are two main factors determining behavioural intent and actual behaviour of technology users. This study examines the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM2) as developed by Venkatesh and Davis in 2000 with a particular focus on PU through the lens of

Prenumerationer på varor med digitala element är ett ökande fenomen på EU marknaden. Det handlar om företag som säljer en fysisk vara, till exempel en bil, och kompletterar dess funktionalitet med ett abonnemang på en digital del, till exempel en GPS. Sådana abonnemang är eftertraktade av konsumenterna eftersom de är praktiska, men de skapar också möjligheter för företag att undergräva förväntningSubscriptions of goods with digital elements are an increasing phenomenon in the EU market. They consist of traders selling a physical good, like a car, and supplementing its functionality by a subscription of a digital element, like a GPS. Such subscriptions are desired by consumers due to their convenience, but foster opportunities for traders to undermine expectations about goods and inflict po

In the light of economic and financial crises, social innovations have been looked at and analysed from new point of views. This thesis has run an analysis of two social entrepreneurial organizations (SEOs) to shed light on how actors from vulnerable communities, like Rosengård and Persborg from the city of Malmö perceive complexities embedded in social innovations and institutional change. The an

For more than 40 years the case-law of the European Court of Justice has been developing the principle of prohibition of abuse of law in the European Union. However, in the sphere of value-added tax, the principle was invoked by the Court for the first time in 2006 in the landmark case Halifax, creating a tension between this emerging principle and the principle of legal certainty observed and pro

I den exklusiva ekonomiska zonen har kuststaten suveräna rättigheter att utforska, exploatera, bevara och hantera de naturliga resurserna, levande eller icke-levande. Detta stadgas i de Förenta Nationernas Havsrättskonvention. I den exklusiva ekonomiska zonen har även andra stater vissa friheter, som typiskt sett åtnjuts på de fria haven, där ingen stat har jurisdiktion bortsett från flaggstaten oIn the exclusive economic zone a coastal State enjoys the sovereign rights to explore, exploit, conserve and manage the natural resources, whether living or non-living. That is provided by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Also in the exclusive economic zone other states enjoy freedoms typically known for the high seas, were no state has jurisdiction apart from the flag State of

In this study I have compared the use of intradiegetic history in the fantasy worlds of J. R. R. Tolkien and George R. R. Martin in their novels The Fellowship of the Ring and A Game of Thrones. Both authors make use of ancient kingdoms and their aftermaths in constructing their fantasy worlds and the stories that takes place within them. There are however some differences in how they do it. Inspi

I Ingmar Bergmans filmer förekommer det ofta olika typer av konstnärer eller dess "likar", enligt Bergman (i form av t ex gycklare). Dessa rollfigurer belyser inte enbart konstnärliga spörsmål utan deras främsta uppgift är kanske att fungera som en slags "ställföreträdare" - eller en symbol för människan - eftersom just konstnärerna i hög omfattning tangerar mer djupa allmänmän

The topic of this work is the correlation between the protection of tax base by transfer princing rules and EU Law requirements. In particular, the question that wil be dealt with in this paper is how the burdern of proof that the arm's length principle was (not) followed by the taxpayer should be allocated in EU Law Context? Firstly, the EU Law framwork that is relevant for transfer pricing r

Work Shop B at ITT Flygt manufactures submersible pumps primarily for the construction industry and are today using an assembly principle, working on benches. Because of the demand on short delivery times and great variations of orders during the year there is a high pressure on the work shop. Because of the aspects above, the work shop wants to investigate whether it is possible to find a model f

If two undertakings agree to increase their prices, companies may infringe Article 101 of the TFEU which prohibits anti-competitive agreements and concerted practices. If the market is divided between two or more undertakings, the agreement may constitute abuse of collective dominance under Article 102 TFEU. The undertakings might be able to adjust their behaviour so that they could behave as they

This thesis discusses the legality of the solidarity contribution relative to Article 1 of Protocol 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). As such, this paper aims to provide an answer to the question “Does the solidarity contribution under the Council Regulation (EU) 2022/1854 on an emergency intervention to address high energy prices infringe Article 1 of Protocol 1 of the ECHR.”

More precisely, the author will analysis, if the Directive proposal infringes Article 20 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights through (1) directly connecting a EUR 750 threshold to its scope of application and (2) excluding specific types of entities from its scope o

The acoustical consequences of articulatory maneuvers of [y] are studied in model experiments in order to obtain insights into articulator programming and speech motor control by elucidating the role of each component maneuver of a speech segment in setting up vocal tract resonance conditions for the spectral features of the speech wave. The maneuvers of [y] are found to provide a maximum and stab

Movements of individual articulators are analyzed to elucidate principles of gestural organization in vowels. Procedures for tracking articulator gestures from x-ray motion films, and results obtained on coarticulation in Swedish, Bulgarian, and Greenlandic are reported in Wood [J. Phon. 19, 281–292 (1991); Proc. 3rd Congr. I. C. P. L. A. 191–200, Helsinki (1994); Proc. 13th I. C. Ph. Sc. 1, 392–3

Movement data are analyzed to elucidate principles of articulator coordination. Procedures for tracking articulator gestures from x-ray motion films, and results obtained from Swedish and Bulgarian work are reported in Wood [J.
