The integration of the global economy is a phenomena that is increasingly evident in our everyday lives. Ranging from rapid economic growth in developing nations to the flow of capital across continents, globalization is affecting almost all corners of modern society. This includes the higher education sector, in which recent years have seen unprecedented growth in Asia as the economy increasingly

There is a heated debate going on concerning the use of migration detention in Europe. In the wake of the increased number of migrants trying to enter or having become irregular while residing in Europe, states seem to rely on the practice of migration detention in such a degree, that it has become an integral part of their national and European Union policies. This happens, despite the fact that

Designing and developing a software product is a difficult process. The product must be usable and solve the correct problem. At the same time, the underlying code must be well written. Many projects fail to deliver or exceed their budget. This thesis explores a practical approach to software design and development that tries to adhere to both user centered design and agile development. The proces

The purpose of this study was to examine the relevance and experience of social interaction in Lund, Sweden. Contemporary Sweden has been subjected to a global reputation of being a society whose social climate is viewed as one of high reservation, and unsociability. The assumption that native Swedes are shy, and prefer solitude are other perceptions. Statistical reports of mental health seem to i

The primary objective of this study was to measure the effect of CEO ownership on firm value in the presence of strong external governance. We hypothesized that the concentrated ownership structure in Sweden could make equity incentive programs less relevant. The same hypothesis is tested on a subsample of risky firms as well, categorized as firms that conduct R&D. Using panel data methods and

Fastigheter omfattar stora ekonomiska värden och för privatpersoner hör en fastighetsöverlåtelse ofta till en av de stora affärerna man gör i livet. Det är således viktigt att ansvarsfördelningen vid fel och brister i fastigheten blir tydlig så att köparen, säljaren respektive mäklaren vet vilket ansvar som gäller. Detta ansvar regleras i jordabalken och i fastighetsmäklarlagen. För köparen innebäProperties represents great economic value and a property acquisition can be the biggest transaction one will do in a lifetime. Transparence regarding the defect-rules are therefore of great importance. According to the Swedish Land Code the buyer has a duty to examine. This thesis purpose is to define the current legal situation regarding this duty, as well as if a duty to inform exists for the s

In this thesis, a new bridge type is proposed. It is a steel bridge with a slab of cross-laminated timber elements. The bridge is intended for road traffic, and it has a span length of 26 m. It aims to be competitive when a short construction time is important. Long construction time could be a critical issue when launching a bridge over a railway where disruption of traffic flow is associated wit

En lantmäteriförrättning vars syfte till största del är att undvika stämpelskatt kallas “skatteförrättning”. Genom reglerna i FBL kan köpare av fast egendom i vissa situationer undkomma reglerna kring lagfart i JB och därmed undvika stämpelskatt för förvärvet. I aktuella situationer är köparen ägare av en fastighet till vilken det tänkta köpeobjektet regleras. Skattelättnaden är i sig inget hindA cadastral procedure with the intent to avoid paying stamp duty for particular real estate transactions is a well-known phenomenon in Sweden. By using the rules in the Property Formation Act stamp duty can be avoided. In order to comply with the rules in the Property Formation Act the buyer has to already own real estate, to which the recently acquired land parcel can be transferred. The Cadastra

The diffusion characteristics of water can be measured by using NMR methods. Specifically, the diffusion profiles in samples containing domains of water barriers are of major importance to be able to describe in applications such as diffusion tensor imaging or diffusion MRI-sequences. These sequences can be used to study the internal structure of samples of complex diffusion profiles. The diffusio

”Juryn måste avstå från vittnets sista uttalande.” Ett sådant tillrättavisande har de flesta människor hört, oavsett om det rör sig om personer som arbetar i domstol, akademiker eller gemenman ute på landsbygden. Både det svenska- och det amerikanska juridiska rättssystemet verkar under uppfattningen att nämndemän och jurymedlemmar är villiga att följa domaren (rådmannens) instruktioner samt är ti“The jury is to disregard the witness’s last statement.” Such an admonition is likely familiar to most people whether they are legal professionals, academics or lay judges who only occasionally watch courtroom dramas. Both the Swedish and US legal system operates under the assumption that lay judges and jurors are willing to follow instructions given by the judge and are able to ignore inadmissibl

Uppmärksamhet är väsentligt i våra dagliga liv, och oförmåga att bibehålla uppmärksamhet kan leda till svårigheter i skolan eller på arbetsplatsen. Med utgångspunkt i den neuropsykologiska teorin Moderate Brain Arousal, som förklarar bristande uppmärksamhet med dopaminergisk obalans, ämnar denna studie använda den nya metoden Stokastisk Vestibulär Stimulans för att förbättra förmågan till uppmärksAttention plays an important role in our everyday lives, and inability to sustain attention can lead to difficulties performing tasks related to school or work performance. Using the theoretical framework of the Moderate Brain Arousal theory, according to which attentional problems originate in a dopamine imbalance, this study seeks to utilize the new technology of stochastic vestibular stimulatio

It has been discussed how important the contributions of informal investors in supporting entrepreneurs and developing startups. The market for informal venture capital is almost invisible source of financing for entrepreneurial ventures, which can explain the difficulty of finding these investors. However, what if the entrepreneur were able to find virgin angel, private individuals who want to un

Rasmussen (1997) shows how it may be possible to go beyond an acceptable safety boundary, and if crossing the boundary is irreversible, an error or an accident may occur. Organizations reside as a specific operating point within three specific boundaries. The three boundaries are: the economic failure boundary, the unacceptable workload boundary, and the boundary of functionally acceptable perform
