The term the 'Jade Road' is very hard to find in English literature yet the Chinese term '玉石之路' exists within Chinese archaeological and cultural articles (and even in business and travel magazines) as a prehistory to the 'Silk Road'. Why has this term, 'Jade Road', escaped translation and explanation in English material and what facts and theories exist about it? T

The infrastructure and the traffic that it brings affect wild animals and thus the entire biodiversity. The human built up network of cities and connecting roads are major barriers for many species in the natural world, making it harder for them to move through the landscape. The more roads in a landscape, the more fragmented it gets and with it important habitats get degraded. Long-term effects f

This thesis aims to examine the lexical and typological change found in the Western European language families of Germanic, Romance and Celtic over the last two millennia. The method used was to create one lexical and one typological database and the data was analysed according to etic grids. Tree models were generated from the results of the databases and the groups found in the tree models were

This thesis: Culture at any price? A study of how visitors and producers in Malmö think of free culture is about professional free culture in Malmö and how it affects other kinds of culture in the city. My main research questions are: How do people value culture? How much and what are they willing to pay for it? And does free culture change the way people think of other kinds of culture? How do di

Malmö har som många andra städer behövt förändra sig när industrierna har flyttat från staden. Stadsomvandlingen från industristad till något nytt brukar innebära en upprustning av innerstaden och uppförandet av profilbyggnader (till exempel Turning Torso). Det har uppstått en konkurrens mellan städer i västvärlden om invånare (rätt sorts invånare), företagsetableringar, turister och besökare. Den

Denna uppsats fokuserar på hur lärande äger rum på en intern web 2.0-plattform i en global organisation när anställda utbyter kunskap och samarbetar med var-andra. Förpackningsföretaget Tetra Pak och web 2.0-plattformen Yammer utgör en fallstudie, för att kunna nå en djupgående förståelse för hur anställda interage-rar på plattformer av denna karaktär. Genom att studera de konversationer som ägerThis thesis focuses on how learning take place on an internal web 2.0-platform in a global organization when employees collaborate and share knowledge with each other. The packaging company Tetra Pak and the web 2.0-platform Yammer con-stitutes a case study, in order to get an in depth understanding of how employees interact on such platforms. By studying the conversations on Yammer and interview

It was intended with this research to estimate in-sample and out-of-sample Value-at-Risk(VaR) on forwards’ data in Nordic electricity market by using different parametric and nonparametric approaches and investigate which of them give the most accurate results after implementation of back-testing. There were two confidence levels of 95% and 99% used in this research. After implementation of data

I framställningen behandlas frågan om clickwrap och point-and-click kan användas för att tillskapa bundenhet vid vissa standardiserade villkor enligt svensk rätt. Förfarandena innebär att en användare genom ett elektroniskt ”klick” godkänner vissa standardiserade avtalsvillkor utan reell möjlighet att omförhandla dem. De utgör därför typexempel på anslutningsavtal där utbjudaren dikterar villkorenThe essay examines whether or not utilization of clickwrap and point-and-click agreements can give rise to legal obligations according to Swedish law. Both methods seek to incorporate and bind users to standardized terms through a “click” without giving any opportunity to negotiate the terms. They are contracts of adhesion, unilaterally put forward and dictated by one of the parties. For a standa

Den här uppsatsen är, som titeln anger, en analys av den gudstjänstfirande församlingen i Svenska kyrkan och dess betydelse hos teologerna Fredrik Modeus, Ragnar Persenius och Sven Thidevall. Bakgrunden till uppsatsen är att förtroendet för Svenska kyrkan fortfarande är starkt men dess betydelse har minskat för nutidsmänniskan. Medlemstrenden pekar neråt, allt färre firar gudstjänst på söndagen oc

Jura novit curia anses innebära att parterna inte kan binda domstolen vid vilken rättsregel som är tillämplig. Och inte heller hur denna rättsregel ska tolkas och tillämpas. Denna princip vållar emellertid vissa problem. Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att utreda om principen om jura novit curias omfattning enligt gällande rätt är välavvägd samt att annars ge förslag på bättre lösningar. PrinciIura novit curia implies that the parties cannot, with binding effect for the court, choose which law should be applied. Nor can they choose how the law should be interpreted or applied. The purpose of this paper was to investigate whether the extent of the principle of iura novit curia in Swedish law is balanced. If not so, the aim is to provide suggestions for a better solution. Iura novit curia

Sammanfattning En arbetsgivare kan i svensk och engelsk rätt bli ålagd ansvar för annans vållande. I svensk rätt kallas denna lära för principalansvar och stadgas i 3:1 SkL. I den engelska rätten kallas ansvar för annans vållande för vicarious liability och principen om en arbetsgivares ansvar har etablerats i praxis. Ansvaret kan ses som strikt i den mening att en arbetsgivare själv inte måste haSummary An employer can in the swedish and english legal systems be held responsible for the acts of an employee. In the swedish system this principle is called principalansvar and is established in 3:1 SkL. The english system names responsibility for others as vicarious liability, the principle in which the empoyeer is held liable for the empolyees tortious act came through court cases. There is

When speaking in terms of institutional fragmentation in global environmental governance one might rather immediately notice that a certain degree of said fragmentation probably is a perennial characteristic in this context and, arguably, preferable. However, the degree varies rather widely in time, space and issue areas. Fisheries being an example of a relatively high degree of fragmentation, sin

Popular science summary New microalgal strains for converting CO2 rich flue gasses into valuable biomass Global depletion of fossil fuels and climate change due to Green House Gases (GHGs) emissions are presently faced two serious challenges. It has been known from quite long that increasing concentration of greenhouse gases (mainly CO2) in the atmosphere is the key cause for global climate chan

Have portrayals of women in literature changed over time? The assumption was that the portrayals of women have changed over time in one way or another. The analysis shows, quite contrary to the assumption, that there is no difference between the portrayals of women in the 19th century compared to the 21st century. All of the multiple correspondence analyses indicate that whether the novel was writ

Often ordinary differential equations or differential algebraic equations do not constitute the problem alone. A common complement is finding the root of an algebraic function (an event function) that depends on the states of the problem. This formulation of a model enables the possibility of including discontinuities and saving or stopping the process more effective. The problem of root-finding d

Uppsatsen studerar brister i den interorganisatoriska kommunikationen i tredjepartslogistiska (3PL) samarbeten. Kommunikationens betydelse brukar betonas i interorganisatoriska samarbeten, men trots att den expansiva marknaden för 3PL-tjänster redan är av betydande storlek saknas studier som fokuserar på de brister som kan uppstå i kommunikationen mellan organisationer i dessa samarbeten. Syftet m
