Existing theories of how spouses divide the household labour have conflicting implications. Standard models of comparative advantages and bargaining models both predict that when a woman earns more money than her husband she will do less household work. However, identity theory predicts that deviating from prescribed gender behaviour causes discomfort, and therefore a woman could compensate for vi

Denna uppsats tar sin utgångspunkt i vad retoriken och pedagogiken kan ha för nytta av varandra. Jag argumenterar för att båda ämnena bör ses som systerämnen som har mycket mer gemensamt än vad som kommer till uttryck, åtminstone inom pedagogiken. I gränssnittet mellan de båda ämnena finner vi vad de har gemensamt och vad de borde ha gemensamt. Uppsatsen utforskar två områden. För det första komme

The thesis investigates the overlap between trademark and patent law and the extent thereof and whether the overlap poses a threat to competition.

But they can also have severe negative effects, such as increasing financial vulnerability and overall macroeconomic instability. There is a widespread perception among academics as well as policymakers that capital inflows are correlated with asset prices. This essay aims to examine if there

Inom forskningsområdet livslångt lärande är generations-överskridande lärande ett populärt tema och många projekt i Sverige och Europa organiseras för att skapa möten och lärande mellan generationer. Vad detta lärande innebär är sällan specificerat och syftet med denna uppsats är därför att ur ett pedagogiskt perspektiv undersöka generationsöverskridande lärande som koncept utifrån tidigare forskn

This thesis presents the two hypotheses that airlines use their frequent flyer programmes (FFPs) to introduce switching costs to combat competition by increasing the percent discount of the value of the points their FFP members receive, and that they use their FFPs to support price discrimination by offering business travellers more value for their travel choices. Economic theory to support these

Have you ever wondered why there are ribs on bottles or cans? Perhaps you can guess that ribs are applied to the packages because of some technical functions. In fact, ribs carry more value than you can imagine. According to the literature review and the research on 100 Swedish consumers, ribs have both pros and cons but the former surpasses the latter. Originated from the demand of preventing def

Tidigare forskning har visat att KBT behandling inte är verksamt när det gäller patienter med utmattningssyndrom, varken för att förbättra måendet eller förkorta sjukskrivningstiden. Föreliggande studie har undersökt om detta överensstämmer med hur en grupp yrkesverksamma KBT behandlare på primärvårdsnivå uppfattar resultatet av terapier med dessa patienter och hur detta kan förklaras. BehandlarnaPrevious research has shown that CBT treatment is not successful for patients with stressrelated exhaustion, neither to improve the wellbeing nor to shorten the sick leave. The study has examined if this is accurate to how a group of CBT-therapists on primary care level perceive the results of therapies with these patients and how this can be explained. The therapists have also described which int
