Indonesia is a significant global player both in terms of economic performance and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. While its total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and emissions are ranked high in global comparisons, both in terms of per capita measures have a relatively low ranking, suggesting that there is potentially more growth to come. Growth in Indonesia’s total emissions is being driven by econ

This study shows that the framework used to construct the successful Euro Area Leading Indicator (ALI), developed by de Bondt and Hahn on behalf of the European Central Bank, can successfully be applied to the Swedish business cycle. The ALI type indicator constructed in this study is a weighted index of nine macroeconomic series and accurately predicts the Swedish business cycle by three months (

The fact that the precursor of the European Union came into existence just after the Second World War, in a time of reconstruction and major structural change, hasn’t been a chance. The European integration developed in fact on an institutional agreements in order to fully implement the Second Industrial Revolution in the European system. An efficient and cohesive European market has been the prag

By regressing volatility series of equity returns on macroeconomic variables using data from the Nordic countries, three conditional volatility models are evaluated on their ability to capture effects of long-run volatility shocks. In addition, the same models' short-run forecasting performance is tested by employing a rolling window approach. The results suggest that none of the models are su

What happens when production technologies such as 3d printing become available to consumers? And how will it affect the role of the designer? To answer these questions we had to look at the 3d printing from a larger perspective and consider the movements behind it. The aim of our bachelor project was to create a platform where designers and end-users can collaborate in the creation of their own pr

Växters fenologiska händelser påverkas av klimatet och tid för knoppsprickning hos träd kan därför användas som indikator på klimatförändringen. Enligt forskning kommer temperaturen med största sannolikhet att öka i framtiden och med det följer att växters knoppsprickning förväntas ske tidigare. I denna studie har tidpunkten för knoppsprickningen för hägg, björk och asp i Skåne simulerats med hjälPlants phenological events are influenced by the climate and the timing of budburst of trees is therefore an excellent indicator for climate change. According to research, temperature will most likely increase in future and with that follows an earlier budburst. In this study, budburst were simulated for bird cherry, birch and aspen in Skåne, in the southern part of Sweden, with two phonological m

The purpose of this study was to examine how alcohol is used as a function to create group membership and how alcohol is used to relate to norms in a student culture. The study examines students on Växjö Linnéuniversitet. Regardless if students consume alcohol or not they somehow have to relate to it – to use alcohol or to actively refuse. We have used 346 surveys for this quantitative study. The

The aim of this study was to reiterate and analyze children’s stories about what it was like to grow up with a parent in prison. We intended to interpret the individuals’ childhood experiences and memories. We have limited the respondents to people who grew up with a parent in prison. These individuals were during the essay adults, recounting stories from their childhood. An incarceration does not

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka de för parfymtillverkare tillgängliga varumärkes- och marknadsrättsliga verktygen mot snålskjutsfenomenet ”smell-alikes”, dvs. efterbildningar av välkända märkesparfymer av lägre kvalitet som säljs för en bråkdel av originalpriset. I avsaknad av ett självklart, juridiskt varumärkesskydd för dofter lämnas producenterna att förlita sig på det varumärkesrätThe aim of this paper is to investigate the legal tools available for perfume producers in trademark and market law against the free-riding phenomenon “smell-alikes”, i.e. imitations of famous brand perfumes of lower quality sold at a fraction of the original price. In the absence of evident legal trademark protection for fragrances, manufacturers have to rely on the trademark protection granted

This study's theoretical framework and

Problem/bakgrund: PISA-undersökningen 2012 visade katastrofala siffror för den svenska skolan. Framförallt redan från början svaga grupper (t ex pojkar med utländsk bakgrund) tillhörde dem som tappade mest i kunskap. Syfte: Syftet med den här undersökningen var att ta reda på i vilken utsträckning killar med utländsk bakgrund i årskurs nio handlar i enlighet med teorin om rationella val respek

The municipality of Malmoe has a housing deficit equal to 14 000 homes. The deficit is most significant for affordable rental apartments in the old stock. Long queues and excess demand makes it difficult for individuals who are not established on the housing market to find a home of their own. To overcome the situation a government inquiry concluded that the rental sector must see more private inv

This paper examines the downward trend in the U.S. labor share of income, which is shown to have declined significantly over the last two decades. This phenomenon is in direct contradiction with standard neoclassical growth theory, which postulates constant factor shares of income. Increased trade with low-income countries, financialization, and the decline of labor unions are some of the explanat

Two basic food categories, wheat flour and packaged rice, are chosen as the consumption rate is increasing in Indonesia. Indonesia is tropical country with high temperature and humidity level. In addit

Målet med denna studie är att undersöka betydelsen av det diagnostiska värdet hos en ledtråd, en så kallad “cue” framför värdet av ett kontextuellt överlapp mellan inkodning och framplockning av minnen. Ett minnestest grundat på ledtrådsbaserat igenkännande, så kallat “cued recognition”, genomfördes. Samtliga deltagare presenterades för ordpar tillsammans med kontextuella bilder i tre betingelser,The aim of this study is to investigate the importance of a diagnostic cue over the mere contextual overlap between encoding and retrieval in successful retention. A cued recognition test was conducted to investigate the power of a contextual cues diagnostic value in successful retrieval of memories. Participants were presented with word pairs together with a picture background in three different

Surfplattan har sedan sitt genomslag 2010 letat sig in i världens skolor. Det görs satsningar världen över och inte minst i Sverige. Alla är dock inte positiva till att små barn i förskolor ska få sitta med denna teknologiska leksak redan i en så tidig ålder. I denna studie undersöker jag vad tre förskollärare i Malmö respektive Kävlinge kommun anser om användningen av surfplattor på deras förskol
