Human beings create meaning from the fact that concepts tend to occur together in a predictable way. When we see a dog, we also see a tail, paws, eyes, legs, fur, and etcetera. In this context, we would see an owner who goes for a walk in the park with the dog that is attached to a leach, and the dog might bark. Thus, the concept of a dog is connected with these other concepts, and when these conc

This thesis centres around the question of how two theories – intergovernmentalism and multilevel governance – explain regional government mobilisation at an EU-level. The central debate is what actually remains of central state control in keeping regional governments out of Brussels. This debate is embodied by two key concepts: central state control, or gatekeeping, and regional government partic
Handelsbolag och kommanditbolag är juridiska personer men inte skattesubjekt vid inkomstbeskattning. Huvudregeln är att ett sådant bolags resultat beskattas hos dem som är delägare i bolaget vid räkenskapsårets utgång. Den skattemässiga fördelningen ska i princip grundas på bolagsavtalet eller vad som annars har avtalats mellan delägarna.

The purpose of this study was to examine how women in a social science faculty at a university in Sweden perceive their career possibilities. Given that the Faculty of Social Sciences is one of those predicted to be the first to come under the so-called equality interval, the opportunity structure for women's career development is interpreted as good. In the study, seven semi-structured interv
The main purpose of this thesis is to clarify what the term flexicurity is and what it entails. Flexicurity is a labour market policy model that has the goal of creating more and better jobs.

Finland’s social security spending has been increasing rapidly over the past four decades, and is expected to continue increasing in the decades to come. The increase has been largely driven by population ageing resulting in increased old-age spending. Finland’s social security system is however more than just old-age social security; which warrants a more detailed analysis of the different types
