Agile Methodologies as a Management Tool for Physical Systems Engineering Development

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate an alternative way of management within physical systems engineering development (PSED), a term which represents all fields of engineering where physical components are involved. More specifically, analysing how agile methodologies can be applicable with the use of technological advancements to overcome the restrictions hindering the increase of efficie

The incompatability of art. 4 ATAD with freedom of establishment: Evidence from the Swedish implementation

The Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive calls for a new chapter in the fight against tax avoidance and abuse in the European Union - as a minimum level of protection against tax avoidance practises is established. Member States have a certain degree of discretion when implementing the directive. They must however make sure that measures transposed are in line with primary EU law. This essay investigates

Presumptions on the place of supply for digital B2C services

According to Art. 58 VAT Directive digital services are to be taxed at the place where the customer resides. The Implementing Regulation provides certain presumptions for suppliers to determine that place. These presumptions are analysed in this thesis regarding their actual compliance effort for companies, as well as the implementation of the destination principle. But before, the conditions and

The English Game : en undersökning av fotbollen ur ett klassperspektiv

Fotbollen är en av världens absolut största populärkulturella fenomen vad gäller allt från fritidsintresse till en global industri med mängder av stora ekonomiska investeringar. Således finns mer intressanta aspekter av fotbollen än enbart det rent sportsliga utövandet att undersöka inom samhällsvetenskapen. Tidigare studier har genomgående påpekat att fotbollen, sett ur ett klassperspektiv, haft

Let’s See What We Recall - The Regulation of Memory Accessibility by Gaze Direction

Gaze behaviour has previously been shown to support memory retrieval. Looking at the encoding location of a to-be-retrieved object leads to higher retrieval performance. How gaze exerts this function is still unknown. One possibility is that gaze fixations upregulate the activity and accessibility of memories associated with a looked-at location. This study uses an adapted retrieval-practice parad

The Compatability of the OECD MNA with EU Fundamental Freedoms and the Case Law on Abuse

The OECD Modified Nexus Approach (MNA) as found in BEPS Action 5 is the preferred method for implementing an IP regime. By linking IP-related expenditures to tax benefits, the approach redefined substance with the aim to prevent tax base erosion which could occur in lenient IP regimes. The approach is implemented in Member States of the European Union. This essay investigates whether the implemen

E-commerce Platforms from a Customer Perspective

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the relationship between customer perceived value (CPV), customer satisfaction (CS), and customer loyalty (CL) in the e-commerce platform industry. The objective is to first derive a theoretical framework about these marketing constructs from academic literature and later test its hypotheses in the e-commerce platform context. This research hypothesizes

Narratives in European Union Enlargement - The impact of experience on continuity and change

Enlargement has become a current subject as attention has been brought to its process and direction. The aim of this thesis is to study the narrative within enlargement in the European Union. The primary material consists of fifteen transcribed speeches, held by Commissioners for Enlargement and Presidents of the European Commission during the period 2001-2020. The study takes into account how the

Defining Cardiac Dysautonomia - Different Types, Overlap Syndromes; Case-based Presentations

The cardiovascular branch of autonomic nervous system (ANS) is responsible for the regulation of heart rate, blood pressure, and maintaining homeostasis during physiological stress such as exercise and standing upright. ANS constantly controls the rate and force of heart contractions and the vascular tone with the aim to maintain the sufficient tissue perfusion with oxygenated blood and secure ven

Rika och fattiga: Klassrelationer och historisk ekonomisk ojämlikhet i Stockholm på 1600–1700-talen

English summary”Class Relations and Historical Economic Inequality: Stockholm in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries”.Erik BengtssonArbetarhistoria, 2020This article describes and discusses economic inequality in seventeenth and eighteenth century Stockholm. I describe the distribution of wealth, using probate inventories from 1650, 1700 and 1715, and wealth tax data from 1715. The distributi

Världens jämlikaste land?

UNDER 1900-TALET blev Sverige världens jämlikaste land. Inkomstfördelningen var jämn, klassresorna många och det politiska deltagandet stort och relativt jämnt fördelat i befolkningen. Sverige var ett föregångsland som debatterades över hela världen som en förebild eller ett skräckexempel. Men hur kom det sig att just Sverige blev så jämlikt? Akademiker, debattörer och politiker över hela den poli

“The Swedish Sonderweg in Question: Democratization and Inequality in Comparative Perspective, c. 1750–1920”

During the twentieth century, Sweden became known as a country with an unusually egalitarian distribution of income and wealth, an encompassing welfare state, and an exceptionally strong social democracy. It is commonplace among historians and social scientists to consider these equal outcomes of the twentieth century as the logical end result of a much longer historical trajectory of egalitarianiDuring the twentieth century, Sweden became known as a country with an unusually egalitarian distribution of income and wealth, an encompassing welfare state, and an exceptionally strong social democracy.

Tropospheric ozone radiative forcing uncertainty due to pre-industrial fire and biogenic emissions

pTropospheric ozone concentrations are sensitive to natural emissions of precursor compounds. In contrast to existing assumptions, recent evidence indicates that terrestrial vegetation emissions in the pre-industrial era were larger than in the present day. We use a chemical transport model and a radiative transfer model to show that revised inventories of pre-industrial fire and biogenic emission

Host-plant availability drives the spatiotemporal dynamics of interacting metapopulations across a fragmented landscape

The dynamics of ecological communities depend partly on species interactions within and among trophic levels. Experimental work has demonstrated the impact of species interactions on the species involved, but it remains unclear whether these effects can also be detected in long-term time series across heterogeneous landscapes. We analyzed a 19-year time series of patch occupancy by the Glanville f
