Today’s hospitals in Sweden are all dependent of large networks of suppliers of medical supplies. These consist of many supply chains that are regularly exposed to both external and internal risks. One hospital affected by these risks is UMAS (Malmö University Hospital). UMAS is dependent on its supply chains to work without disruptions but it is unclear what risks they might be exposed to and how

The grocery market in Sweden is mainly divided between six different retailers who together have some 95% market share. The rest of the market is divided between thousands of different actors, selling groceries in other ways than the main retailers. This 5% market is interesting to investigate and the purpose is to identify the opportunities and barriers for those alternative food distributers. B

Much of the research in social psychology has focused on conformity. Often conformity is a necessary tool which helps our society to function but when people conform to something dangerous or immoral it can be very dangerous. In this study the people who do not conform for the reason that they disagree with the morality of the group are studied. The study is phenomenological and exploratory and sh

This thesis investigates similarities and differences between Emily Brontë’s Heathcliff and Anne Brontë’s Huntingdon. Moreover, their conduct is compared to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century masculinities. Neither of the two characters corresponds with ideal masculine behaviour. As the novels progress they become increasingly depraved. But the causes to their wickedness are not self-evident. Howe

The city of Helsingborg wishes to see an increase in bicycle traffic. One of the measures that have been taken to achieve this is to build elevated bicycle crossings at intersections between bicycle paths and carriageways. This thesis deals with the particular kind of elevated bicycle crossing that is situated at the intersection between a main street with a bicycle path alongside it and a side st

This thesis investigates the translations of seven contemporary western works of literature into Chinese. The translations are analysed using the translation analysis method used by David van der Peet in his analysis of the translation of The Lord of The Rings into Chinese applying concepts and criteria formulated by the translation theorists Walter Benjamin, Eugene Nida and Paolo Bartolini.

Vi undersöker huruvida rörelser på växelkursmarknaderna hos fyra olika par av växelkurser kan förutspås av en VECM (Vector Error Correction Model) baserad på de makroekonomiska variabler som ingår i akademiskt vedertagna monetära modeller. En långsiktig modell med ovan nämnda variabler byggs upp för att sedan kontrolleras efter ett långsiktigt samband och omvandlas till en mer dynamisk form, en så

The problem of windfall has recently become more and more frequent in marine insurance. The solution to the problem would affect both international business and the insurance industry. The Marine Insurance Act 1906 has not specified clearly about the solution; relevant English cases seem to render different decisions as to the payment recovered from the third party. The problem is caused by the co

The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze terms such as integration, culture and cultural competence in relation to Social Work and Social Workers with migrant background. By Social Workers with migrant background, I mean persons who are born outside Sweden and who have immigrated to Sweden. I am interested to know how this group of people experiences and understands their cultural o

Syfte: Att undersöka om det kan finnas en förklaring till hur ett varumärke (Loka) kan uppnå bättre försäljning än ett annat som samtidigt tycks favoriseras av konsumenter (Ramlösa) är syftet med vår studie. Teori inom området för varumärkeskapital gör gällande att detta förhållande utgör en anomali. Vi ämnar undersöka om det trots allt kan finnas en förklaring inom ramen för sådan teori eller om

1989 antog Europeiska Unionen ett vapenembargo mot Kina efter landets hårdhänta hantering av protesterna på Tiananmen-torget som ägde rum i juni samma år. Tjugo år senare är vapenembargot fortfarande i kraft, trots att flera medlemsländer återkommande har föreslagit att det ska hävas. Det finns många komplicerade förhållanden som gör att eventuella försök att antingen skärpa eller häva EU:s vapenThe European Union issued an arms embargo on China as a reaction to the repression of the protests at the Tiananmen Square in June 1989. Today, twenty years later, the arms embargo on China is still not lifted, even though several member states have suggested it. Several complicated issues are connected with the lifting of the arms embargo. The shape is significantly different from the other EU

The purpose of this paper is to shed light on possible cultural, political and legal problems and possibilities that may arise when western companies enter the Chinese market by means of an industrial park. Conclusions: Industrial parks are not a universal establishment strategy that solves all potential problems. For small and medium enterprises entering the Chinese market through an industrial p
