Pro-poor public spending is an important tool used for promoting development and poverty reduction. Yet, it has been hard to find evidence that public spending actually translates into desired outcomes. Public financial management (PFM) systems have been pointed out as one vital factor affecting public spending efficiency, but this has yet not been confirmed in any empirical research. By using new
Men are more interested in a researcher career than women, and awareness about the gender imbalance within the Academia increases men's interest (Tellhed, 2013).

Thomas Quick, numera Sture Bergwall, har kallats Sveriges värste seriemördare. Nu krackelerar den bilden. Sedan Thomas Quick tog tillbaka sina erkännanden har han praktiskt blivit friad från samtliga åtta mord han blivit dömd för. Syftet med framställningen är att utreda hur domen gällande Appojaurefallet kunde rämna bara för att den tilltalade Thomas Quick tog tillbaka sitt erkännande. Mer konkThomas Quick, now Sture Bergwall, has been called the worst serial killer in Sweden’s history. That picture is now falling apart. Since Thomas Quick retracted his confessions he has practically been cleared from all eight murders he was convicted for. The purpose of this essay is to investigate how the judgement in the Appojaure case could fall apart only because the defendant retracted his confe
