Skattetillägg vid tillämpning av lagen om skatteflykt

Det finns olika uppfattningar om huruvida påförande av skattetillägg vid tillämpning av skatteflyktslagen harmonierar med skattelagstiftningens syfte. Det har framförts att det finns ett bristande logiskt samband mellan skatteflyktslagen och skattetilläggsbestämmelserna. Det har vidare hävdats att domskälen många gånger endast är svagt förbundna med lagtext och förarbeten, det har även ifrågasattsIn cases of incorrect information in the declaration of income the Swedish Tax Agency (SKV) can decide on tax surcharge. Decisions according to the Tax Evasion Act (1995:575) are, however, only decided on by court. It has been argued that there is a lack of logical association between the Tax Evasion Act and the decision on tax surcharge and that the applicability of the Tax Evasion Act and the ta

Home Country Tariffs and FDI in China

To date China has become one of the largest receivers of foreign direct investment (FDI) and this FDI has had an important role in China’s economic growth. It is therefore important to study the determinants of FDI in China. This paper evaluates if general applied tariffs on Chinese imports in China’s trading partners influence the amount of FDI to China. In previous studies this approach has not

Motion detection and temporal filtering of noisy image sequences

When capturing digital video there is always some amount of noise in the resulting signal. This is more pronounced in low-light conditions. In this thesis we have evaluated five algorithms for motion detection and noise reduction. All algorithms produce a filtered image and a motion mask. One of the algorithms is based on block-matching, one on fuzzy logic and one on low-rank matrix completion. Th

Who blogs what? : A qualitative study on the role of the Euroblogosphere in a context of a European Public Sphere

This study aims to illuminate the perception of Spanish and English language bloggers and to understand them and their activities from the analytical perspective of an online European Public Sphere (EPS). The research, using a methodology of semi structured online interviews, answers two questions. The first one is how these bloggers give evidence of an actor-based online European transnational bl

The Rights of Migrant Workers in Canada: An Analysis of Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program in Light of International Labour & Human Rights Law

Cross-departmental Collaboration in China’s Public Service Delivery: Drivers and Obstacles

Nowadays, very few public services could be delivered by only one department or organization. In order to deal with those "wicked" issues, like transportation, housing, environmental protection, food safety or some other problems, collaboration between departments has been a need. Meanwhile, cross-departmental collaboration has been proved to be an important means for governance, which h

Att arbeta med dans för skådespelare - infallsvinklar, strategier och verktyg

Hur arbetar man, rent konkret, på bästa sätt med dans för skådespelare? Vilka verktyg och strategier kan vara användbara för koreografer som arbetar med skådespelare, och för dansande skådespelare? Syftet med uppsatsen är i första hand att besvara denna frågeställning. Men jag vill också bidra till, och utöka, den svenska litteraturen i ämnet Dans för skådespelare samt höja dansens status på teate

Hydrological Energy Analysis of Yangtze River Basin, China

In this project, an Energy model from Thomson Reuters HBV-TR similar as the HBV model from Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) is used in Yangtze River Basin for energy inflow simulation. Yangtze River is the biggest river in China and the area of whole river basin is about 1.8 million square kilometers covering more than one fifth of whole China area. At the same time Yangtze

Kostnads- och miljöbesparingar genom ruttoptimering - En fallstudie hos Bergendahls Food

Problemställning: Till följd av Bergendahls Foods tillväxt de senaste åren har företagets transportplanering blivit allt mer komplex. Planeringen sker i dagsläget manuellt vilket gör att slutresultatet kommer allt längre från det optimala. För att anpassa planering och transporter till den ökande efterfrågan krävs en grundlig genomsyn av transporterna. Studien ämnar därför göra en kartläggning ochProblem: The manual transportation planning at Bergendahls Food has recent years become increasingly complex due to the growth in demand. In order to adjust to the changes, Bergendahls Food requires a thorough mapping of their transportation activities. The lack of supporting IT-system obstructs the ongoing transport review why this case study aims to map and analyze the transports in order to inv

Academia and Activism in Feminist Practices - Applied Cultural Analysis for a NGO

This thesis is based on the two months I spent in Bolivia doing applied cultural analysis for a nongovernmental organization (ECAM) that works for women empowerment and gender equality. My intention is to explore the relationship between academia and activism by focusing on the approaches that have been pointed out as counterproductive in the struggle for gender equality. Specifically, the objecti

Share Repurchases in Sweden: The Mimicking Hypothesis

I provide evidence that firms send a negative signal on its non-repurchasing industry counterparts. This is consistent with competitive effects. These negative effects are common for mature firms and are sent by the largest repurchasing firm. The market attributes non-repurchasing mature firms as those ones, which do not maximize value for shareholders because managers have excess cash at their di

Estimating contemporary methane emissions from tropical wetlands using multiple modelling approaches

Metangas bidrar med en signifikant andel till den rådande växthuseffekten på jorden. I nutid är den största källan till utsläpp av metangas våtmarker i jämförelse med andra naturliga utsläppskällor. Emissioner av metangas från våtmarker är beroende av klimatet och har den egenskapen att ge en positiv återkoppling till klimatändringen. Icke desto mindre finns det dock stor osäkerhet associerat med Popular science Global warming is a significant environmental problem now-a-days. Methane is a major greenhouse gas causing global warming by trapping long wave radiations from the Earth. Presently, natural wetlands are responsible for the largest amount of emissions of this gas when compared to other natural sources. Changing climate impacts the emissions from wetlands which in turn further inten

Assessing the Trade Effects of Being Graduated from Non-Reciprocal Trade Preferences

The term graduation is applied when an industrialized country withdraws a sector or a country from non-reciprocal trade preferences. Sectors and countries are graduated when they supposedly can compete at world market level, but surprisingly little research has explored what effect on export flows graduation actually has. This thesis thoroughly identifies and explains the graduation mechanism, col

Going Viral : a management understanding of culture change and its implications for sustainable development

This research proposes that an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the concept of culture and culture change could be beneficial for Sustainable Development. It explores the transferability of the DIKT Learning Model and theory of Creative Populations, originally found in management literature, and applies them to a social change corporation in Medellin, Colombia. The corporation analyzed

Evaluation of methods for MR imaging near metallic hip prostheses

Utvärdering av olika MR-tekniker som kan se nära höftproteser av metall Magnetresonanstomografi (MR) är en metod för att ta skiktbilder inuti kroppen. Denna metod utnyttjar det faktum att en väldigt stor magnet kommer att påverka vätekärnorna i våra kroppar. Genom att skicka in radiovågor i kroppen kan en spole samla upp den information som studsar tillbaka och med denna information kan man skapa
