According to medieval canon law a marriage secretly contracted, by mutual consent only, was perfectly valid. It was however difficult to prove tha such a marriage had taken place, if one of the parties denied it. This problem was fairly common and a number of such cases are recorded in medieval Court rolls. In this article I study if/to what extent the parties previous sexual activities and/or rep
We consider the following signaling game. Nature plays first from the set {1,2}{1,2}. Player 1 (the Sender) sees this and plays from the set {A,B}{A,B}. Player 2 (the Receiver) sees only Player 1’s play and plays from the set {1,2}{1,2}. Both players win if Player 2’s play equals Nature’s play and lose otherwise. Players are told whether they have won or lost, and the game is repeated. An urn sche
The purpose of this paper was to gain knowledge about how our senior citizens living in institutions manage their everyday life. Do they get a say on what should be done and how? Do they want to make their own decisions and is it possible for them to express needs and wishes? Is there a way to combine this sort of influence on your own way of living with the fact that many of these elderly people
In the NBER Working paper ”Measuring Economic Growth From Outer Space” it is suggested that 29 countries have reported GDP that differs from “true” GDP. In this bachelor’s thesis these countries are examined and a common denominator for them is sought after. None is found, but other interesting discoveries are uncovered hinting that the discrepancy from “true” GDP is not just noise. A connection i
The precise valuation and correct assessment of the value of imported goods should be preceded by determining the value of imported goods for Customs purposes. The provisions regulating the Customs valuation are overlapped and complicated; the reason which prompted the Author, through this paper, to eliminate this overlaps and simplify the complexity, using a new approach represented by reclassify
Abstract Purpose: This paper is written as a personal evaluation of the entrepreneurial journey starting a new venture based on a new product and concept. Design/methodology/approach: This is a paper designed on to analyze the past experiences of developing a product and searching for a reference customer to start a knowledge based company, using the authors personal experiences with a self-ethnog
Popular Abstract in Swedish Alltsedan expansionen av den högre utbildningen tog fart i Sverige, i slutet av 60-talet, har universitet och högskolor arbetat för att utveckla utbildningskvaliteten. Detta har bland annat gjorts genom satsningar på policys som reglerar exempelvis arbete med kursvärderingar, mångfald, och kurs- och utbildningsplaner. Satsningar har också gjorts på pedagogisk utbildningThe focus in this thesis is to explore theoretical perspectives and strategies for academic development, particularly in a research-intensive university. The purpose is to investigate academic development that aims to support and influence individual academic teachers and groups of teachers, in the different social collegial contexts that they work in, here called microcultures. Building on litera
This article is a case study of the organization of the Swedish postal route to Europe in 1716. In the winter of 1715, the Swedish Baltic Empire lay in ruins and when the Swedish King Charles XII landed in Ystad, in the south of Sweden, he had many problems to deal with. One of the most urgent ones was to establish a postal route to the rest of Europe. During the war the traditional Swedish postal
Abstract in UndeterminedThis work presents a comparative study regarding wear behavior between a novel abrasion resistant cast iron, "Carbide Steel" and a number of conventional tool materials frequently used in the automotive industry. Carbide Steel is basically a high-Cr white cast iron heavily alloyed with cemented carbide. The high chromium content and additional alloying elements like WC. TiC
A test of the benchmark QED process e(+) e(-) -->gammagamma(gamma) is reported, using the data collected with the DELPHI detector at LEP 2. The data analysed were recorded at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 161 GeV to 208 GeV and correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 656.4 pb(-1). The Born cross-section for the process e(+) e(-)-->gammagamma(gamma) was determined, confirming the vali
There is no doubt that the construction industry needs to streamline its processes. There are four different ways to streamline the processes; Building Information Modelling (BIM), Lean Construction, industrialized building and partnering. In this examination paper we have investigated the possibility to streamline a specified company’s processes whit lean and BIM. More specific we have investigat
There are about eight thousand and five hundred of level crossings in Sweden according to Swedish Transport Administration (STA). Approximately four thousand and six hundreds of railroad crossings are arranged without any type of protection. Most of the accidents occurs when there are none protection or the amount of traffic is very low. Types of protections that are usually used in most of the le
In this bachelor thesis we highlight problems within the jurisdiction of remand hearings in Swedish district courts. We discuss if there might be a risk that remand hearings befall arbitrary in the matter of how they occur routinely for judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys. The purpose of the study is to, from a perspective of legal security, attend the balance between the demands of transpar
Fragmentation of habitat, for example by intensive agricultural practices, can be detrimental to local biodiversity. However, it often remains unclear whether such biodiversity declines are caused by loss of habitat area or increased fragmentation, and how habitat quality factors into it. In our study system, vegetated vineyards are typically small, and isolated from one another, potentially limit
