Europeiska unionens (EU) huvudmålsättning är att fri rörlighet av varor, personer, tjänster och kapital ska råda inom unionen. Rättsenigheten inom EU har dock brister och det har observerats att det för en väl fungerande inre marknad hade varit behjälpligt med harmonisering av medlemsstaternas civillagstiftning. För detta ändamål har Europeiska kommissionen initierat utformningen av en gemensam reOne of the main goals of the European Union (EU) is to guarantee the free movement of goods, capital, services and people. Divergences in national contract laws are seen as an impediment to this free movement. To overcome this hurdle scholars clearly suggest that the internal market would benefit if the EU had harmonized the private law. The European Commission (EC) has therefore initiated the cre

This essay investigates the possibility to make a risk adjusted return that outperforms index, OMXS30, by using one of three different investing methods. In other words it is a study which tests whether investors ought to choose a passive or active approach in investing. The methods described and examined, are mean-variance, minimum variance and shortfall constraint. When investigating the differe

With a worldwide increase in climate-related disasters and the global temperature on the rise, the effects of climate change are already being felt. Among those most at risk are the poor in developing countries, often living in informal settlements or „slums‟. In order to reduce associated risks and strengthen people‟s own coping capacities, there is an urgent need for knowledge about the factors

Jag har studerat en klass i nian som haft som skoluppgift att skriva var sin egen låt. Förutom att observera hela klassen har jag dessutom följt fyra elever under deras musikskapande process. För att besvara min forskningsfråga om hur ungdomar gör när de skapar musik som skoluppgift, har jag använt mig av kvalitativ metod och jobbat med observationer och intervjuer. I teorin har jag valt att tittaTitle: The creative room - highschool students creating music at school. I have studied a class in ninth grade that had as a task in school to compose their own music. Beside observing the entire class I have followed four students during their music creation process. In order to respond to my research question about how young people do when they create music in school, I have used a qualitative m

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka två alternativ, reklamation samt sexmånadersregeln, som konsumenter kan använda sig av gentemot en säljare om fel på dennes vara skulle förekomma, i detta fall en begagnad köpt bil. Jag kommer även utifrån konsumentköplagen undersöka säljarens ansvar gentemot en konsument vid försäljning av en begagnad bil. Metod: I uppsatsen kommer jag att använda mig

The climate on earth is changing and to deal with this problem, a method called climate change adaptation is used. Some researchers consider this a new method while others claim that it is a version of risk management. Based on this discrepancy, this master thesis aims to answer the following research question “What are the differences and similarities in practice between climate change adaptation

I Sudan och många andra delar av Afrika är biomassa den huvudsakliga energikällan. Ved används för att göra upp eld till matlagning och uppvärmning av hus och mycket biomassa går också åt till att bygga hus, staket, verktyg och annat. Bönderna på den sudanesiska landsbygden är väl medvetna om att Acacia-träden som växer och förökar sig naturligt på deras marker hjälper till att öka bördigheten ochIn rural Sudan, as in many parts of Africa, biomass is the most important source of energy. Besides the use as fuelwood for cooking and heating of houses, biomass is also used for construction of houses and fences amongst other things. Among farmers in semiarid Sudan it’s a known fact that the Acacia trees that grow and regenerate naturally on their lands help improve soil fertility and crop yield

Some fundamental physical questions were highlighted through a literature study. The mathematical model for both the initiation of turbulence fields and for the DNS solver was shown. Initial turbulence fields were then formed by the different methods and a comparison between them was made. The comparison included differences in overall pattern through the use of different energy spectrum functions
