Numerous studies in the international economic literature suggest that foreign trade has a large positive effect on growth. From the theoretical aspects there are several reasons to be¬lieve in both export- and import-led productivity growth as well as productivity-led exports. The empirical results have been mixed, with earlier studies indicating a strong relationship and more recent studies that

Although memory serves numerous functions, it is often not reflected upon until it fails us. Previous research has shown that both retrieval and generation of information may lead to forgetting of related items sharing the same cues and is referred to as retrieval induced forgetting (Anderson, Bjork & Bjork 1994; Bäuml 2002). The aim of this study was to investigate the electrophysiological co

In the latest financial crisis, risk management and forecasts of market losses played a crucial role in the area of finance. This thesis evaluates the theory of Value-at-Risk through a quantitative study of two non-parametric approaches and three parametric: Basic- and volatility-weighted Historical Simulation, Normal distribution, Log-normal distribution and Student’s t-distribution. The thesis c

Denna uppsats har via en rättsdogmatisk metod undersökt gällande rätt avseende nödvärn och nödvärnsexcess vid överfall. Den faktiska rättstillämpningen i underrätterna har inte berörts. Rätten till försvarsvåld gentemot brottsliga angrepp tillkommer dels den angripne, dels envar som befinner sig på platsen för angreppet. Denna rätt regleras i nödvärnsstadgandet i 24 kap. 1 § BrB. Skulle omfattninThis paper is, using a legal dogmatic method, analyzing established law regarding self-defence and excessive self-defence. The actual application of the laws in this field is not analyzed. The right of defence against violent criminal attacks is granted to the person being attacked, as well as anyone else nearby. This right is prescribed by 24 chapter 1 § Brottsbalken (the Swedish criminal code)

Summary Within the EU, cooperation in criminal matters has been established and the cooperation could be described as increasingly intensified. Since the Tampere Conclusions of 1999 the cooperation is on its way in the light of the EU’s aim to offer its citizens an area of freedom, security and justice. The cooperation in criminal matters has developed mainly throughout two strategies: mutual reco

Due to the recent financial turmoil we have noticed how exposed our financial situations are. Not only the financial market has been affected but also major socio-economic crises have risen as a result of the recession. Despite this, there is a willingness to take part in trading on the financial market.

Bakgrund: Kriminalitet och säkerhet är ett ständigt diskuterat ämne i Sydafrika. Säkerhet har i Europa blivit ett genomgående politiskt tema, från lokal brottsprevention till det globala kriget mot terrorismen. Inför världscupen i fotboll i Sydafrika 2010 har staten satsat över en biljon rand (vilket är ungefär lika mycket i kronor) på poliser, säkerhetspersonal och övervakning av innerstaden och

This essay examines the way in which the traditional form and concept of the muqaddima, as developed in the arabic tradition, is employed by lebanese marxist scholar Husayn Mroueh (1910-1987) in his work on the arabic-islamic heritage, al-naza̔āt al-mādiyya fī al-falsafa al-̔arabiyya al-islāmiyya. The theoretical framework for the study is provided by Peter Freimarks study Das Vorwort als literari

This work originated from that Gambro had a problem with their intensive care dialysis machine, Prismaflex™. The blood tube leading from the machine back to the patient had in some cases creased and stopped the blood flow. Gambro thought that a new or modified warmer holder would prevent this from happening and wanted me to develop this holder. The warmer device heats the blood to body temperature

Background and Purpose – In the last two decades, enterprise architecture (EA) has become a common approach for the management of information systems in organizations. However, the academic development of the field has not paralleled this turn of events. There is considerable divergence among researchers as to the very definition of EA. The present project seeks to clarify the concepts of EA, draw

Den aktuella studien undersökte hur barn omkring perioden för ordförrådsspurten uppmärksammar generell form samt signifikanta detaljer vid visuell objektigenkänning, både avseende nya bild-ordpar samt för redan etablerade bild-ordpar. Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) registrerades i syfte att analysera hur barn på en neural nivå reagerar på kongruenta och inkongruenta presentationer av bild-ordpar,The present study investigated how children around the time of the vocabulary spurt attend to overall shape and significant detail in visual object recognition, regarding both novel picture-word pairs as well as already established picture-word pairs. Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) were recorded in order to analyze how children on a neural level respond to congruent and incongruent presentations

In order to understand the effects of European integration on national politics this thesis examines Swedish bilateral development aid-politics; how it has changed character after membership in the European Union; and if political integration has led to an Europeanization of Swedish aid-politics. The theoretical framework is based on Neofunctional theory, which explains political integration. The

Denna studie har genomförts på uppdrag av Stadsbyggnadsförvaltningen i Helsingborg. Studien tog vid efter tidigare utvärderingar som gjordes till följd av en sammanslagning som skett mellan två förvaltningar år 2007. Det övergripande syftet var att undersöka och beskriva den nuvarande organisationskulturen på arbetsplatsen, utifrån frågeställningen om det finns en gemensam organisationskultur. Med

In this paper we fit non-linear models. We build Threshold Autoregressive (TAR) and Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models and estimate the parameters associated to the models, e.g. the threshold for the TAR model. The TAR and the GARCH model concept are applied to simulated data and to three empirical datasets, two River flow time series and one Blowfly data set.

Sociala medier används idag av allt fler människor för att både konversera med vänner och bekanta, uttrycka åsikter samt recensera och rekommendera produkter. Den information som därmed genereras från sociala medier kan således ha ett värde för de företag som blir omnämnda. I denna uppsats vill undersöka om denna information är möjlig att integrera med information från befintliga informationssyste

This essay is about conditional expressions in Japanese. It covers the expressions –tara, -eba, to and nara. The purpose of this essay is to try and define each expression and show the differences and similarities they have. Each expression is given its own part in both a grammar and a semantic section. After that this essay will compare them in the way they are used in the sense of “when” and “if

This paper examines in the context of their history and their impetus the implementation of structural adjustment programs in Peru, Argentina and Bolivia. The failure of the SAPs to meet their desired result is determined to be an extension of insufficient social welfare institutions, which were not initially considered to be important for a smooth transition towards market oriented reforms an
