The purpose of this study is to explore the behavior of a dense jet and bottom plume, composed of brine water, discharged into a receiving body of lighter fresh water. This situation is common in connection with freshwater production from sea water (desalination), which produces a brine waste stream, usually discharged into sea water. The increasing interest in desalination processes requires inve
This research paper focuses on historical, arithmetic equity market risk premium in emerging and frontier markets. Equity market risk premium, as we know it today, has been easily estimated in developed markets; whereas, emerging and frontier markets often require different approaches to determine an appropriate equity market risk premium. I make use of a variety of methods, including volatility a
In many parts of the world regional economic integration has experienced a revival since the yearly 1990s. That is the reason that the African continent has been drawn and involved itself into this process. An imminent urge to diversify domestic economies has been coupled with the decision to move away from the import-substituting practices in favor of regional integration. West African region and
This paper uses a New Economic Geography and Complex Systems framework to explore the nature of agglomeration economies on a sector by sector basis, as well as dropping many of the assumptions that are present with many mainstream schools of thought. By drawing upon a model of self-reinforcing behaviour, and examining the effects of self-organisation, path dependence, and discontinuous change, the
The purpose of this thesis is to study the incidence and size of financial and time transfers across generations in Scandinavia and look for any common determinants of transfer patterns. The study is based on two different theoretical models studying slightly different views on intergenerational transfer behaviour. By using cross-sectional data from the 2nd wave of the SHARE database (2006/2007) b
Numerous studies in the international economic literature suggest that foreign trade has a large positive effect on growth. From the theoretical aspects there are several reasons to be¬lieve in both export- and import-led productivity growth as well as productivity-led exports. The empirical results have been mixed, with earlier studies indicating a strong relationship and more recent studies that
Although memory serves numerous functions, it is often not reflected upon until it fails us. Previous research has shown that both retrieval and generation of information may lead to forgetting of related items sharing the same cues and is referred to as retrieval induced forgetting (Anderson, Bjork & Bjork 1994; Bäuml 2002). The aim of this study was to investigate the electrophysiological co
In the latest financial crisis, risk management and forecasts of market losses played a crucial role in the area of finance. This thesis evaluates the theory of Value-at-Risk through a quantitative study of two non-parametric approaches and three parametric: Basic- and volatility-weighted Historical Simulation, Normal distribution, Log-normal distribution and Student’s t-distribution. The thesis c
Denna uppsats har via en rättsdogmatisk metod undersökt gällande rätt avseende nödvärn och nödvärnsexcess vid överfall. Den faktiska rättstillämpningen i underrätterna har inte berörts. Rätten till försvarsvåld gentemot brottsliga angrepp tillkommer dels den angripne, dels envar som befinner sig på platsen för angreppet. Denna rätt regleras i nödvärnsstadgandet i 24 kap. 1 § BrB. Skulle omfattninThis paper is, using a legal dogmatic method, analyzing established law regarding self-defence and excessive self-defence. The actual application of the laws in this field is not analyzed. The right of defence against violent criminal attacks is granted to the person being attacked, as well as anyone else nearby. This right is prescribed by 24 chapter 1 § Brottsbalken (the Swedish criminal code)

Since the Tampere Conclusions of 1999 the cooperation is on its way in the light of the EU’s aim to offer its citizens an area of freedom, security and justice. The cooperation in criminal matters has developed mainly throughout two strategies: mutual reco
