Children’s literature is an underused source for historical studies even though children’s books have great potential to give us insights into the time in which they were written. This is especially true when it comes to views of children and childhood which makes children’s literature a good way into the complex history of childhood. Nils Holgerssons underbara resa genom Sverige (1906-1907) is a
The need for targeted interest deduction rules is far from over. Most recently targeted interest deduction limitation rules have been presented in the proposal for a Directive implementing OECD Pillar Two in the EU, as well as in the proposal for a Directive on debt-equity bias reduction allowance. In Lexel, the Court of Justice of the European Union struck down the Swedish targeted interest dedu
I och med den fria rörligheten i Europa så kommer utländska företag med största sannolikhet även framöver att utföra byggnadsarbeten i Sverige. Därför krävs fler studier om säkerhets- och arbetsmiljöarbetet på byggarbetsplatser med utländsk arbetskraft. Likaså behöver fler undersökningar göras om hur kommunikationen kan förbättras mellan svenska och utländska arbetstagare. God kommunikation är en Since the number of posted workers and companies on the Swedish labour market most likely won’t decrease in the foreseeable future, more studies on safety and working environment on construction sites with foreign workers will be needed. Likewise more studies on how the communication can improve between Swedish and foreign workers are required, since good communication is a determining factor when
With a novel path index design, called the Shortcut Index, we partially solve the problem of executing traversal queries on dense neighborhoods in a graph database. We implement our design on top of the graph database Neo4j but it could be used for any graph database that uses the labeled property graph model. By using a B+ tree, the Shortcut Index can achieve what we call neighborhood locality a
Bakgrund: Det finns olika konstellationer av samarbete kring specifika uppgifter för att uppnå någon form av definierat mål. I imaginära samarbeten skiljer sig samarbetsprocesserna från mer formaliserade samarbetsformer. Imaginära organisationer använder varandras resurser och unika kunskaper i samarbetet, för att uppnå ett gemensamt mål. Inom forskningsbyn Ideon finns ett nätverk av aktörer som s
Problem: Since business process management (BPM) is a very spacious concept, it is influenced from many other concepts, standards and methods that determine its constancy. Companies are asked to restructure their organisation in order to meet internal and external customer demands. The term quality comes to the fore. Organisations such as ISO and the EFQM try to certify or assess companies in term
Problem: The corrugated board industry is highly affected by customer uncertainty, various demands and short delivery times. In combination with a complex multi-step production process managers have to be able to identify bottle-necks and gain knowledge and understanding of how different changes in process will affect the production output.
Purpose: The purpose of this master thesis is

Inom fastighetsrätten är begreppet fastighet centralt. Fastighetsrätten utgår ibland från fastighet och ibland från andra begrepp så som brukningsenhet, tomt och värderingsenhet. Ibland används begreppen som synonymer till fastighet vilket försvårar tolkningar av diverse lagar. Jordabalken definierar vad en fastighet är och fastighetsbildningslagen anger hur fastigheter bildas och ändras. Plan- o
Denna utredning granskar hur proportionalitetsprincipen används i ett förarbete som föreslår straffskärpningar. Syftet är att problematisera huruvida proportionalitetsprincipen kan tillförsäkra enhetliga bedömningar av förhållandet mellan brott och straff på ett sätt som tillgodoser intresset av rättvisa bestraffningar och en begränsning av statens bestraffande makt. Utredningen granskar därför prThis thesis examines how the principle of proportionality is used in a law proposal that suggests increased penalties. It aims to problematize if the principle of proportionality can ensure stable assessments of the relationship between crime and punishment in a way that satisfies the interest of fair punishment and that limits the punitive power of the state. It is therefore interested in examini
The burden of unhappy individuals in society is a vast and costly public health issue. Europe hosts some of the happiest countries in the world, but there are still many health inequalities. Given the connection between poor health and unhappiness, research must investigate the micro and macro determinants of a person’s life to better understand how policies can impact the lives and longevity of a
The Swedish law for gender assignment in certain cases (Lag (1972:119) om fastställande av könstillhörighet i vissa fall) was adopted in 1972 to regulate the gender confirmation treatment and legal sex reassignment of intersex and transsexual persons. This essay aims to illuminate the coproduction between science and society that made the law as well as its accompanying institutions and regulation
This thesis regards the study of cellular automata, with an outlook on biological systems. Cellular automata are non-linear discrete mathematical models that are based on simple rules defining the evolution of a cell, depending on its neighborhood. Cellular automata show surprisingly complex behavior, hence these models are used to simulate complex systems where spacial extension and non-linear re
Purpose: The authors aim to analyse how brands can strategically communicate their Country of Origin (COO) and what the drivers are behind the different intensities of COO signaling. Methodology: This study applies a qualitative multiple case approach based on secondary data, following an abductive reasoning process that iteratively connects empirical observations from the cases with relevant theo
Sammanfattning Det är enbart arbetstagare som omfattas av det arbetsrättsliga skyddet i lagstiftningen. Därmed utgör arbetstagarbegreppet en viktig del av arbetsrätten. Definitionen av begreppet får en allt större betydelse då sättet att organisera arbetet förändras kontinuerligt i och med att nya anställningsformer tillkommer. Uppsatsen undersöker hur EU och Sverige definierar och tillämpar arbAbstract The Labour law protection only covers those who are considered employees. Thus, the concept of employee is a significant part of the Labour law. The definition is becoming increasingly important as the way of organizing the work is continuously changing as new forms of employment are added. The essay examines how the EU and Sweden define and apply the concept of employee and what similar
We used the nation-wide Swedish Family-Cancer Database to analyze the risk for bone cancer in offspring by parental cancers and in siblings of bone cancer probands. Additionally, the risk of second cancer following childhood bone cancer was investigated. In offspring, 1,190 bone cancers were diagnosed between years 1958 and 1996. Groups of offspring were compared by calculating standardized incide
The Swedish Family-Cancer Database was used to analyse familial relationships in mothers and daughters with invasive and in situ cervical cancers by histological type during the years 1958-1996, including a total of 21,727 and 191,081 cases, respectively. Familial standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated separately for mothers and daughters and for invasive and in situ squamous cell ca
It is my contention here that Quentin Skinner’s conception of neo-roman liberty as it is articulated in Liberty Before Liberalism serves to establish two normative premises for human rights philosophy. Those premises are, first, that human rights should offer the strongest protection for those persons who are most vulnerable and liable to social and political discrimination and marginalisation. Se
The small bowel is difficult to reach and to examine endoscopically. Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) using a wireless imaging technology was introduced 2000. VCE is an ingestible capsule camera that takes photographs during its passage throughout the gastrointestinal tract. The diagnosis of small bowel Crohn's disease is among the prime indications for VCE, as one third of patients with Crohn's dise
