This thesis analyzes the effects of export subsidies on Swedish cereal export. The analyzes are based on data on cereal export from Sweden to countries outside the EU from 1990 to 2003. In 1995 Sweden became a member of the European Union. Before the membership, the Swedish agricultural policy was decoupled in a larger sense than the European CAP was, which means that the Swedish producers had dec

The Vaxholm conflict was initiated when the Swedish Trade Union for Construction Workers shut down a construction site in order to prevent a Latvian construction company to build a school after the two parties had failed to agree upon a collective agreement in compliance with Swedish regulations. An emotional public debate followed that resulted in a discussion of the proposal for the Services Dir

There are many theories of time preference that are relevant for the problem of overweight. The DU-model explains how declining utility profiles can be consistent with an individual’s preferences. Such profiles are achieved through overeating and overweight. Through applying overweightness on Becker and Mulligan’s model (1997) with endogenous time preferences, possible directions of causality are

Problem/Bakgrund: År 1993 gick startskottet för den "första omgången" av den så kallade "pigdebatten" som kretsade kring huruvida hushållstjänster skulle skattesubventioneras eller inte. Idag är debatten återigen aktuell och frågan har allt mer kommit att framställas som ett feministiskt krav. Frågan har dock starka kopplingar till maktrelationer som grundar sig i genus-, klass

Populärvetenskaplig sammanattning: Syftet med detta arbete är att dels försöka finna dygnsvariationer i koncentrationen av fina aerosoler, dels att försöka förklara vad dessa kan bero på i den mån det är möjligt. Syftet inkluderar även att undersöka aerosolernas långväga transporter för att härigenom ta reda på varifrån partiklarna kommer ur ett regionalt perspektiv. För att lösa uppgiften utnyttjThis work aims to obtain information on diurnal variations of aerosol concentrations in the city of Lund (Sweden) and trying to locate the origin of the aerosols long distance transports. The study shows that the aerosol concentrations varied quit strongly over the entire measurement period, reflecting air masses of different degrees of pollution, mainly as a result of the diurnal rhythm of the tr

Problem: Underhållningsutbudet i TV ökar och televisionens möjligheter att stimulera till debatt och fungera som kunskapskälla riskerar att försvagas. Paradise Hotel, en så kallad realityserie, sändes flitigt i TV4 under våren 2005. Detta program och dess deltagare får stort offentligt utrymme medan många andra program, människor och idéer utesluts från televisionen. Syfte: Vårt syfte är att unde

In this essay I will argue that any plausible moral theory should be able to provide a good answer to the question "why should I be moral"? This is the question of moral motivation. I will further suggest that a contractarian moral theory, such as that of David Gauthier,1 provides a plausible answer to this question. And that the ability to do this is due to the rational-choice framework

Problem Until recent years, not enough focus has been placed on assuring the strategic fit of launched projects and multi-project management. Even though the situation is getting better, many companies still do not seem to get their project portfolio management right.

I denna uppsats har vi undersökt hur man kan värdera en Internet-community. Vi har genomfört intervjuer med tre fallföretag, Glife, Lunarstorm samt Stallet.se. Utfrån dessa intervjuer samt den analys vi gjort har vi utformat en möjlig värderingsmodell för Internet-communities.

Åsikterna om periodiseringsfonden har ändrats från att före räntebeläggningen varit mycket positiva till att bli mindre positiva. De intervjuade tror att en följd av lagändringen blir att företagen kommer att sätta av mindre pengar till periodiseringsfonder och istället använda sig av överavskrivningar då det är möjligt. Numera kan inte periodiseringsfonden ses som ett räntefritt lån och därmed må

The first law in Sweden containing an act of legal deposit is from 1661. Since then the printing-houses are supposed to deliver all printed material to the Royal Library and other recipient libraries. Today, more and more information is solely published electronically. This material is not yet included in the law of legal deposit. In a similar way as our printed cultural heritage is saved for post
