In The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Stieg Larsson depicts a fiery, independent and highly sexual protagonist in the character of Lisbeth Salander. While many readers fail to notice the subtle reference to Lisbeth’s natural red hair, this quality, along with Larsson’s admittance that his inspiration originated from Astrid Lindgren’s Pippi Longstocking, situates Lisbeth in a long tradition of redhea
Faced with the increasing concern about the effect of greenhouse gases in global warming, Carbon Capture and Storage technologies are developed. Oxy-combustion is one of these techniques; it consists of separating the nitrogen from the air and using the O2 (diluted in CO2) as an oxidant so that the resulting flue gases are mainly composed by carbon dioxide and water vapour and the capture of CO2 c
The purpose of this essay is to examine the complex social and cultural practice of dowry, and violence related to dowry, in India. The dowry system may at first appear to be an old-fashioned and traditional institution that in face of modernization would slowly fade away. The economic and social changes in the Indian society after Independence in 1947, particularly since the economic reforms of 1
EU-domstolen har fastslagit, med anledning av SKF-målet, att det kan föreligga rätt till avdrag för ingående mervärdesskatt, för tjänster som faller utanför tillämpningsområdet för mervärdesskatt. Tjänsterna som bolaget införskaffade av en advokatfirma, bestod av bland annat avtalsskrivning och mötesförhandlingar med förvärvarna. Rättsfallet har ändrat tidigare rättspraxis och det är mot bakgrund A disposal of shares is exempted VAT within the act of the sixth VAT directive. The VAT directive is harmonized with the Swedish VAT law. Thus the case outcome affects the Swedish Vat law in which way the law is extended and applicable. The European Court of justice (ECJ) came to the conclusion in the SKF-case, C-29/08, that there might be a right to deduct VAT on services acquired to complete a d
Architecture always had a great significance in tourism. Admiring, understanding and learning about architecture as a part of education later became a trend in tourism. In the past decade, a new trend has been noticed that large number of tourists are attracted not only to the old architecture sites, but to the new architectural hotspots which was triggered after opening of Gehry’s Guggenheim Muse
Denna uppsats syftar till att belysa ett tidstypiskt fenomen, nämligen matbloggar och hur dessa kan skapa mening i vardagen för dem som bloggar. Vidare har jag även tittat på hur man väljer att framställa sig själv genom sin blogg och hur gränsdragningen ser ut mellan det privata och offentliga. Slutligen kommer jag även in på estetikens betydelse i en visuell miljö som bloggen. Mat och matlagnin
This paper empirically examines which tonal variations Swedish learners of Russian produce and the influence of first language in second language intonation. In Russian intonation is used to signal sentence type, e.g. to distinguish between declaratives and yes/no questions. In Swedish however, word order is mainly used for this purpose. There also exsists important phonetic diffrences between Rus
ERP systems have become vital strategic tools in today’s competitive business environment. Achieving successful results from IT initiatives has driven most companies to implement ERP systems in order to achieve strategic alignment between the company’s strategic goals and their business objectives. ERP system implementation involves huge costs, effort, time and resources which if not managed may l

Problemställning: Lokala lösningar för dagvatten (t.ex. svackdiken, våtmarker och översilningsytor) används mer och mer runt om i hela landet. Speciellt då dagens konventionella ledningsnät ofta riskerar att översvämmas på grund av den ökade belastningen från en allt större nederbörd och det faktum att dagens städer får fler och fler hårda ytor där vattnet inte kan infiltreras naturligt. En djupar
In this project spectra of neutral calcium between 2000-30000 cm-1 have been recorded by the Fourier Transform Spectrometer Bruker HR IRFTS at Lund Observatory. Using 204 spectral lines, 78 energy levels in the calcium atom have been derived. Level mixing and self absorption of some transitions are discussed. The energy levels in the previously not resolved triplet 4s5g 3G have been measured in th
When inspecting the currently known pulsar population one finds a velocity distribution which is in constrast to the galactic rotation curve. This has lead researchers to believe that the pulsars receive linear momentum (a kick) at the SN event which produces these. In this work we try and see what can be learned about these kicks by studying the existing double neutron star binary population. We
In regards to the different views we have in society and norms that we follow it is often hard to confirm where they come from and where they are established. The courts and the legal judgments that they produce can potentially be viewed as a source that has the power and ability to create, establish as well as uphold views and norms that lie in society. Female criminality is a discourse which doe
Uppsatsen undersöker ”hackerspaces” både genom empirisk analys och teorikonstruktion. Hackerspaces beskrivs som ett fenomen som uppstår genom att människor med olika målsättningar och drivkrafter kommer samman genom en gemensam praktik och delande av resurser och kunskap. Därmed är hackerspacet självgenererande snarare än bestämt av en extern logik. Trots denna självgenerering uppstår en specifik
Abstract The study had two purposes, to do a Swedish translation and validation of the Affective Style Questionnaire (ASQ), which is a brief instrument to measure affective style; and to investigate whether there is a correlation between affective style and the experience of symptoms of depression and/or anxiety. Affective Style is defined as individual differences in the sensitivity to and regula
Svensk skattskyldighet delas upp i begränsad respektive obegränsad skattskyldighet. Obegränsat skattskyldig är den som enligt 3 kap. 3 § IL är bosatt, stadigvarande vistandes eller väsentligt anknuten till Sverige. Huruvida en person är väsentligt anknuten till Sverige eller ej fastställs genom en samlad bedömning av en rad anknytningsfaktorer, 3 kap. 7 § 1 st. IL, varav den ekonomiska som i dennaSwedish tax liability is divided into two different tax subjects, limited and unlimited tax residents. An unlimited tax resident is the one who, according to the provisions in the third paragraph in the third chapter of the Swedish income tax act, is resident, permanently staying or have a substantial connection to Sweden. Whether a person have a substantial connection to Sweden or not is determin
Of all information gathered and maintained by a small municipality, in this case the city of Berkeley, California, the percentage that is somehow geographically related is usually very high. The key to an efficient land management and analysis system is to link information gathered by a municipality's administration to its actual geographic locations; locations that together form the complexit
Uppsatsen syftar till att beskriva hur synen på kränkningsersättningen utvecklats, från medeltiden fram till idag, ur ett sexualbrottsperspektiv. Den behandlar möjligheter och rättigheter till kränkningsersättning för offer som utsatts för sexualbrott, i synnerhet våldtäkt, med stöd av 2 kapitlet 3 § och 5 kapitlet 6 § skadeståndslagen (SkL). Kränkningsersättningen som diskuteras är en del av den This essay aims at describing how the perception of violation compensation has developed from medieval times up to today, using the perspective of sexual crimes, in particular rape. The main focus of this paper is on the opportunities and rights for victims of sexual crimes to receive violation compensation, dealt with under chapter 2 § 3 and 5 chapter 6 § in the law of damages (SkL) but also incl
Varumärkesrätten inom den Europeiska Unionen förbjuder registreringen av varumärken som är beskrivande för varan eller tjänsten, eller en av dess egenskaper, för vilket varumärket ansöks. Kravet har ansetts vara en undergrupp till det generella kravet på att ett varumärke måste ha särskiljningsförmåga, som krävs för att uppfylla det grundläggande syftet med varumärken, nämligen att identifiera ursThe trademark regime of the European Union prohibits the registration of marks that are descriptive of the goods or services, or their characteristics, for which the mark is applied. This has been interpreted as a sub-group of the general prohibition of marks that lack distinctiveness and that thusly cannot fulfil the essential function of trademarks, i.e. identifying origin. However, while some
