This thesis investigates differences in the industrial composition of employment and value added across COROP regions in the Netherlands for each year over the period 1995-2007. It is found that the direction of the regional specialisation trend – as measured by the Coefficient of Regional Specialisation – has fallen for employment but has risen for value added. This relation is further explored b

Dagens mobiltelefonanvändare har tillgång till en stor mängd funktioner. Några av dessa har tidigare bara gått att utföra på datorer. Operativsystemen till telefonerna blir mer komplexa för att kunna hantera den större mängden funktioner. En mobiltelefon har begränsade inmatningsmöjligheter och används i olika miljöer så funktionerna måste gå att komma åt snabbt.Detta ställer stora krav på tillver

Inom mentaliseringsteorin antar man att det finns ett samband mellan mentaliseringsförmåga och affektreglering, men detta samband har i väldigt liten utsträckning undersökts empiriskt. Syftet med denna uppsats var därför att genom en korrelationsdesign utforska sambandet mellan mentalisering och affektreglering i form av affektregleringsstrategier hos vuxna. Hypotesen var att hög mentaliseringsför

Serious games have been increasingly interesting to educators recently, but it is difficult to find good games that truly address the needs of young learners, especially in mathematics. Some games are either too simplistic or are not actual games. In the paper, an argument is made for the benefits of game-based learning (GBL) for instruction and assessment given what we know about Millenials and h

Genom sitt beslut i målet Centros, öppnade EU-domstolen för en bred användning av etableringsfriheten för juridiska personer. I huvudsak konstaterar domen att det finns situationer där etableringsfriheten kan åberopas för att kringgå nationell lagstiftning. Sådana kringgående transaktioner kan betecknas som regelarbitrage Det ska förstås som åtgärder varigenom ekonomiska aktörer försöker dra nyttThrough its decision in Centros, ECJ opened up for a wide use of the freedom of establishment for legal persons. In substance the ruling concluded that there are situations were the freedom of establishment can be relied upon in order to circumvent national legislation. Such circimventional transactions can be denominated as regulatory arbitrage. It is to be understood as the actions by which eco

In one year water research project in Borensberg Waterworks, Motala, Sweden, water quality with respect to microscopic particle accounts both in raw water and drinking water were monitored by Predect’s Online Water Quality Monitoring System. Microscopic particle counts were documented with normalized value in real-time by P-100 for raw water and P-300 for pure water. This report aimed to evaluate

The term ‘beneficial owner’ was first internationally introduced by the OECD in the Model Convention in 1977 and since that time it serves as one of the anti-abuse rules directly provided for in double tax treaties. The concept is critical for determining the eligibility of a person for the tax treaty benefits and for the allocation of taxing rights between two contracting states with regard to di

The author of the paper discusses the issue of treaty shopping and anti-treaty shopping measures adopted by different states. The purpose of the paper is to find out the algorithm of determination of the borderline between the use of double tax treaties and treaty shopping in international tax law could be found. Thus, the author, firstly, discusses the mechanics of treaty shopping and shows the m

Äger varje person rätt att bli förälder? Även om inte staten kan sägas vara skyldig att erbjuda behandling för att avhjälpa barnlöshet kan människor, efter känsla, resonera kring denna frågas rimlighet. Oavsett inställningen är en intressant följdfråga; i så fall till vilket pris? När man talar om surrogatarrangemang är det ofta just pris som på något sätt kommer på tal. Inte pris som i valutameniIs everyone entitled to a right to parenthood? People may have a sense of what should be potential common rights even in cases where the government cannot always be considered liable to offer help, as in supporting those suffering from infertility. As a supplementary question one can ask: into what considerations could the right to parenthood extend? When it comes to surrogate motherhood, amounts

Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes för att utforska sex ungdomars upplevelser av behandlingstiden i MTFC- programmet och deras livssituation efter avslutad behandling. MTFC- programmet är ett behandlingsThe aim of this study was to expand knowledge about the effects of the MTFC-treatment (Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care) and to identify different factors inside or outside of the MTFC-program that might have influenced treatment. Semi- structured interviews were used to explore six youths´ experiences during MTCF-treatment and their life conditions after completion of treatment. The MTFC-pr

This report is written to shed light on the fire risks with laptop computers. Different parts of the laptops are tested in different hypotheses, using literature studies, case studies and experiments. The result indicates that Lithium-Ion batteries are the major risk, because of their high energy content. In some cases, the protective circuits may fail, which in worst case may result in rapidly in

With this work we have investigated how the air in the air cylinders of portable breathing apparatuses is heated during work in hot environments equal to those of interior fire extinguishing. The laws, regulations and standards concerning breathing apparatuses have been reviewed. We describe the theoretical relationships between heating and cooling as a result of air outtake and compare these to e

The possibility of trade-offs in road tunnel design incorporating suppression has been evaluated. Different tunnel configurations and ventilation conditions considered to identify potential trade-offs, offering options of design alternatives for future substantial cost-benefit estimates. Suppression systems are regularly used in Australia and Japan. The interest regarding suppression systems in tu

Den här uppsatsen handlar om aspekter av generell internationell rätt som begränsar ett enhetligt skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna i Europa. Genom att diskutera och förklara fall från EU-domstolen och Europadomstolen så visas de begränsande aspekterna i internationell rätt genom de bägge domstolarnas agerande. EU-domstolen hade sedan tidigare, tydligt och med emfas, slagit fast att EU-rättenThis thesis deals with the inherent hinders in international law, which are obstacles to a coherent human rights protection in Europe. By looking at cases from the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights respectively, the inherent hinders are presented through the differences in attitudes demonstrated in case-law from the two courts and discussed in light of the potential

Building in a manner that minimizes environmental impact has become a major part of the construction industry. Despite increased knowledge in this area the development is moving slowly. The purpose of this thesis is to give the reader an idea of the approach to green construction of civil engineering. The definition of a green tender is defined by the people who have been interviewed. The question

Environmental problems are a discussed subject in the world. The reason for this is that natural disasters are becoming more and more visible. EU is working to reduce the Union's contribution to the greenhouse effect. The goal is to reduce greenhouse gases with 20% by 2020 and 20% of the energy used should come from renewable energy sources. The EU’s Energy Performance of Building Directive (E
