Norway has the past 20 years witnessed a boom in fishing and aquaculture industry. This thesis investigates whether it has been beneficial for economic growth on a regional level. Data from the 19 regions of Norway has been used to test three hypotheses through econometric analysis using a two-way fixed effect panel regression model. The first hypothesis implying a correlation between productivity

The purpose of the study was to examine and evaluate different participants´ arguments in the public debate of low-wage jobs as tools of integration for migrants in relation to ideal type welfare regimes. Twenty one articles submitted by participants from the public were analyzed over the year 2011 and 2017 in the two largest outlets of popular press in Sweden: Aftonbladet and Expressen (including

In the last decade, many Swedish municipalities have faced population decline and thereby eco-nomic stagnation, in fact more than half of all 290 Swedish municipalities are shrinking today. Shrinking is a phenomenon that has been noted in a great deal of international research literature, where its causes and consequences have been examined. In recent years, a growing research interest for the con

Sverigedemokraternas diskurs om HBTQ-rättigheter har länge varit omtalad. De har generellt setts som homofientliga i media och av andra politiker. 2019 verkar däremot en förändring ha skett då de presenterar nya, möjligtvis mer HBTQ-vänliga, förslag. I den här studien undersöks och analyseras Sverigedemokraternas diskurs i HBTQ-frågor från 1989 till 2019. Syftet med studien är att klargöra vad de

I oktober 2014 antog Human Rights Council en resolution som fördömer “unilateral coercive measures”, det vill säga ensidigt riktade ekonomiska sanktioner, som ett brott mot FN-stadgan, internationell rätt och rätten till utveckling. USA är ett av de länder som mest frekvent använder sig av ekonomiska sanktioner mot andra länder och sedan Donald Trump tillträdde som president 2017 har detta använda

WHO The World Health Organisation (WHO) recognises that demographic trends play an essential role in the overall development of a country and improvements in economic, social and health conditions. One of the grand theories of population studies is the Demographic Transition Theory, a linear and universal model of population change. The greatest challenge to the Demographic Transition Theory’s des

The self-screening error in the GW approximation is studied by applying correction schemes beyond the random-phase approximation in model and ab inito calculations. Two model systems in the form of Hubbard dimers, with one and two orbitals per site respectively, are considered. Both the self-screening (GW-ss) and self-polarization (GW-sp) correction schemes are compared to ordinary GW calculations

This work presents the design for a temperature drift-free path imbalanced ber interferometer for long-term laser frequency stabilization using coated bers with different thermal drift. For this purpose, single acrylate, dual acrylate, copper and aluminum coated bers are analyzed theoretically and experimentally regarding the thermal sensitivity of their optical path length. Experimental results w

I den statliga utredningen, Ett snabbare bostadsbyggande, undersöktes hur utnyttjandet av byggrätter kunde effektiviseras. Underlaget var dock tämligen begränsat, vilket skapade idén till den här rapporten. I vilken utsträckning förekommer outnyttjade byggrätter och varför utnyttjas de isåfall inte? Syftet med denna rapport är att utreda om det finns outnyttjade byggrätter med ändamål flerbostadsIn the public report, Ett snabbare bostadsbyggande, a research was made to find out how the utilization of undeveloped building rights could be made more efficient. However, the material on which the research was based was found insufficient, which created the idea for this report. To what extent do undeveloped building rights occur and what are the reasons? The purpose of this report is to exami

The purpose of this study is to further deepen the knowledge surrounding credit rating announcements and their impact on companies’ stock prices. Furthermore, the authors want to investigate whether the potential impacts differ between the US market and the European market, as well as previous to the financial crisis compared to post the financial crisis of 2007- 2009. The methodology used is an e

YouTube har blivit en plattform där unga tjejer spenderar mer tid än någonsin tidigare. Det har blivit en plattform där YouTube-influencers uttrycker sin kreativitet och förmedlar personligt innehåll. De blir således individer med stort inflytande över sin publik. YouTube-influencers serverar information kring produkter och varumärken och får därmed en maktposition i samhället, som gör att unga tj

This thesis examines a detailed development plan process that took place in a officially designated built cultural heritage. Through conceptualising cultural heritage as a process of formative actions by actors, this thesis aims to understand how these formative actions worked and formed the cultural heritage in relation to the construction of a new building in the cultural heritage. This thesis f

Den digitala utgivningen ökar och streamingtjänsterna stod under 2018 för hela bokbranschens uppsving i Sverige. Samtidigt finns det ett ökat intresse för erotik och de digitala volymerna ökar, i synnerhet de som finns tillgängliga via Storytel och andra streamingtjänster. De digitala formaten, kanalerna och erotiken tycks trivas tillsammans som handen i handsken. Med detta som utgångspunkt är syf

In recent years, low-cost flights to smaller cities in Central and Eastern Europe grew fast. This growth offered tourists new possibilities to explore new, lesser-known destinations at a low price. At the same time, urban tourism is a common strategy for urban regeneration and development in Central and Eastern Europe, and therefore, a significant factor of the economic restructuring of Post-Socia

All had taken at least the majo

Uppsatsen behandlar begreppet arbetsbrist i bemanningsföretag. För att en arbetsgivare ska kunna säga upp en arbetstagare krävs det saklig grund i form av antingen arbetsbrist eller personliga skäl. Vinstdrivande uthyrningsverksamhet legaliserades i Sverige år 1993, och bemanningsbranschen har sedan dess kommit att bli en naturlig del av den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Branschen bygger på ett trepartThe essay addresses the subject termination of an employment contract with notice due to redundancy. Termination with notice by the employer must be based on objective grounds, which could be either due to redundancy or circumstances related to the employee personally. Profit-making temporary work agencies were legalised in Sweden in 1993 and have since become a natural part of the Swedish labour

Events that can be described as high impact and low probability (HILP-events) have been proven difficult to deal with, for example background data often is sparse. Due to the construction of traffic tunnels these events need to be taken into consideration. A tool for doing this is risk analysis, and with this tool the events can be identified and handled with a quantitative or qualitative approach
