Many European football clubs have developed a more strategic and business-like thinking within their organizations that has resulted in partly altered business models and views on competition, sustainable competitive advantage and organization. In this thesis we investigate this development with a certain focus on Swedish football industry. The investigation is driven by the question of how Swedis

The purpose of this report is to perform an evaluation of life safety in case of fire at Cirkus in Stockholm. Cirkus is a heritage listed building that offers a lot of different events, such as concerts and conferences. This report is limited to only cover the public areas of the building. No account is taken to either economic losses or environmental impacts in case of fire. The method employed i

Samlevnadsformen har stor betydelse för vilket skydd ett par åtnjuter. Sambor saknar till skillnad från makar arvsrätt efter varandra och även vid fastställande av faderskap föreligger betydande skillnader. I denna framställning har utretts varför så är fallet, hur dessa skillnader motiveras och om lagstiftningen utifrån sambors perspektiv är i förändringsbehov. Kyrkan har haft betydande inflytaCohabitation forms have great significance concerning the type of protection provided for couples. Cohabitees lack, unlike spouses, the right to inherit each other by law. Furthermore, the determination of paternity differs substantially. This paper investigates why this is the case, how the differences are justified and whether the legislation, from cohabitees’ perspective, requires modification.

This report is the result of a fire safety evaluation of Borås Kulturhus. The report was written by students at the Fire Protection Engineering program at Lund University. The project focuses on the public safety within the building and not on the damage of the property. The building includes different types of activities such as theatre, public library and art museum. The aim was to evaluate the

The influence of crowdfunding on financing entrepreneurial ventures and projects have been increasing in recent years. It allows founders of crowdfunding projects to achieve investments from a relatively big crowd using the internet. The recent rise of the crowdfunding phenomena attracts more project founders to establish it as a new entrepreneurial finance method, between bootstrapping and tradit

Value at Risk is a commonly used risk measure which calculates the smallest losses you risk to lose from having an asset, given a certain risk level and time period. Even though Value at Risk is applicable to all different types of assets, some studies suggest that this risk measure is not suitable for developing countries/emerging markets. This is because these countries’ assets generate very obs

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka om ökad kunskap och ökat intresse för EU kan öka valdeltagandet i Europaparlamentsvalet enligt svenska studenter, då det svenska valdeltagandet i Europaparlamentsvalet är väldigt lågt i förhållande till valdeltagandet i det svenska riksdagsvalet. Tidigare forskning som presenteras försöker påvisa eller dementera att det finns ett demokratiskt underskott i EU

Cultural integration has been recognized as an inevitable feature in the making of a coherent European Union, and for further approval of systematic integration. The initial cultural policy of the Union was based on normative assumptions and essentialist views on a European civilization. But issues in legitimization made for a more relativistic stance, and since the 70:ies, a more pluralistic appr

I rapporten har ett av de större entreprenadföretagens, Skanska Sverige ABs, arbete kring riskinventeringar studerats. Enligt deras föreskrivna rutiner och arbetssätt startar riskhanteringsarbetet redan i anbudsskedet och ska genom hela projektet, och under produktionen, uppdateras. Förutsättningar finns för att göra riskarbetet kontinuerligt, men enligt personerna som intervjuats verkar det inte

Foraminiferer förekommer i marina sediment i världens hav och utgör en värdefull proxymetod för att rekonstruera vattendjup, strömmar, produktivitet och syrenivån vid djuphavsmassor. Valet av storleksfraktion som används när studier på bentiska djuphavs-foraminiferer utförs har visat sig ha betydelse när ekologisk fauna vid upvällningsregioner studeras. En genomgång av tidigare studier har visat aForaminifera are abundant in the marine sediment in all of the worlds’s oceans and offer a valuable proxy method to reconstruct water depth, circulation, productivity and deep water aeration. The choice of size fraction used when studying benthic foraminifera in upwelling areas are important. A review of 15 earlier studies where benthic foraminifera has been analysed, has shown that there are diff

Today, the majority of employees in the tourism industry work under contingent and fairly insecure working conditions, among them seasonal employees. In this industry, the business of amusement parks and resort hotels is one with a high quota of seasonally hired front-line employees. Research from Human Resource Manage¬ment pinpoints the underlying risks of low commitment among employees in an ind

The aim with the study was to analyse school counselor´s descriptions of how students mental ill-health expresses itself. We also aimed to analyse how they describe causes and solutions in relation to the students’ mental ill-health. Our study is based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with six school counselors, who are all working at different secondary schools in the south of Sweden. Th

I detta arbete har paleontologiska och impaktrelaterade studier gjorts på ett sedimentprov taget från ett anomalt rött lerlager i Schweiz. Lerlagret hör till den övre sötvattensmolassen och är avsatt för ca 14Ma.Då man i andra närliggande och samtida avlagringar hittat chockad kvarts och s.k. slagkäglor finns möjligheten att även detta lerlager bildats vid ett nedslag av en himlakropp. Den SchweizIn this thesis, paleontological and impakt related studies have been made on a sediment sample taken from an anomalous red clay layer in Switzerland. The clay layer belongs to the Upper Freshwater Molasse and was deposited at approximately 14 Ma. In other nearby and contemporary deposits shocked quartz and shatter cones have been identified and therefore it is possibile that this clay layer also w

Permanent Metal Deck Forms (PMDFs) currently are used in building application as a lateral beam bracing. In the bridge applications, PMDFs are frequently used to support the wet concrete of bridge decks during the construction phase, but they are not relied on as lateral bracing. The girders in the bridge system are subjected to lateral torsional buckling that occurs under the casting of the bridg

In the last decade Central and Eastern Europe faced surge in foreign capital inflows and economic growth. Foreign direct investment played significant role in forming government policies, development in the infrastructure and national income generation. While most research has been done on FDI impact on per capita real GDP growth, this paper takes alternative approach and examines the effects of t

What was the outcome of Sweden’s fiscal policy between 2009 and 2012 and why was it different from forecasts? Research by the OECD during the financial crisis, used by the Swedish Government to illustrate their fiscal policy, suggested that Sweden would have the biggest stimulus of all OECD countries. However, Sweden’s fiscal policy ended up rather modest. By examining the forecasted fiscal policy

In general the facade should be aesthetically appealing, but also its practical functions from a moisture control point of view are of importance. Two step sealed facades, where the outer part consists of a cementboard and plaster, are becoming increasingly common in the selection of type of facade. A specific tvåstegstätad facade that is becoming more established on the market is the facade, wher

Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker med hjälp av en narrativ analys den Europeiska Unionens syn på den ukrainska identiteten och huruvida denna identitet är medborgerlig eller etnisk, utifrån teorier om dessa två typer av identiteter. Materialet som undersöks är skriftligt presenterade narrativ av EU:s Höga Representant Catherine Ashton och den svenske utrikesministern Carl Bildt mellan november 2013

Inom ramen för den svenska skattelagstiftningen finns det möjlighet för utländska idrottsmän som utövar verksamhet i Sverige att erhålla skattelättnader. Bestämmelserna om dessa skattelättnader stadgas i lagen om särskild inkomstskatt för utomlands bosatta artister m.fl. (A-SINK) och i 11 kap. 22-23a §§ Inkomstskattelagen (IL). Dessa lagar benämns i allmänhet som artist- och expertskatten. Kritik
