For several years, Finland has dominated the PISA surveys with their good results and conclusions have been drawn about the reasons behind Finland’s success. The Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket) stated in a report from 2005 that the Finnish education politics tends to be tinged with a higher amount of consensus compared to Sweden and that this may be a reason for the Finnish high

Global Merger and Acquisition activity reached record levels in 2006, with the US and EU playing a large role in this activity. This paper examines the duties of a board which is subject to a takeover bid and any defensive moves the board may take to protect its company from acquisition.

This paper compares and analyzes the government support mechanisms between China and the European Union in the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry. Research has found that China adopts a government led industrial policy, promoting rapid industrial development through fiscal subsidies, tax incentives, and administrative guidance; The EU, on the other hand, takes law as its core and supports the green

This paper reconsiders how central banks get involved in the process of determining nominal variables such as market interest rates and inflation rates. It is argued that the traditional story deriving central bank power from its monopoly of issuing base money is flawed. That story - in its various guises - is based on the quantity equation. This equation, however, is only applicable in the hypoth

The term mission in its modern meaning was coined during the expansion of western Christianity which was in many ways entangled with colonialism. The western missionary movement’s modus operandi was adopted by missions from other backgrounds as well, when economic growth and growth of revivalist Christianity have coincided. When the outcome is new churches in economically underprivileged areas, th

Objective: To investigate fatigue at baseline and 3.5 years later and its association with balance and gait over time.Background: In Parkinson’s disease (PD), fatigue is considered one of the most common and disabling nonmotor symptoms that may persist or even worsen over time.

The implementation of new data regulation has put pressure on organizations to govern their data. However, research on data governance typically focuses on the optimal design of rules and decisionmaking about data. In this paper, we argue that the significant work that goes into responding, when data use is challenged on the basis of regulation, is a legitimate subset of data governance practice.

In recent years, public as well as private measures taken in order to protect the environment have proved to affect competition. As consumers have become more and more alert to the environmental effects of the manufacture, use and ultimate disposal of goods, undertakings have taken measures improving the environmental protection not only due to legislation imposing stricter standards on products a

I svensk rätt men även av Europadomstolen har det ansetts möjligt att tillmäta en tilltalads tystnad eller icke trovärdiga förklaring en för denne negativ bevis-verkan genom åläggandet av en förklaringsbörda. Uppsatsens syfte är att un-dersöka om denna förklaringsbörda i ljuset av bevisrättsliga principer samt rättspsykologisk forskning är lämplig att använda i brottmål. För att uppfylla syftet koIn Swedish law as well as by the European Court of Human Rights it has been considered possible to draw adverse inferences from a defendant’s si-lence or non-credible explanation by imposing a burden of explanation (förklaringsbörda). The purpose of this essay is to investigate whether this burden of explanation in light of principles of evidence law and forensic psy-chological research is appropr

Swedish measures to fight the spread of COVID-19 differ from the strategies used in other comparable countries. In contrast to the lockdown approach that has been applied in many European countries, the Swedish strategy has been based to a substantial extent on individuals taking responsibility under non-binding recommendations. This contribution explores the Swedish strategy from a constitutional

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar om arbetarförfattaren Ivar Lo-Johanssons modernitet, sådan den kommer till uttryck i de sk. statarromanerna: Godnatt, jord (1933), Bara en mor (1939) och Traktorn (1943). Först undersöks hur modernisering och modernitet skildras i romanerna och därefter hur författaren förhåller sig till den litterära riktning som kommit att symbolisera den esteThis dissertation examines the modernity of the Swedish proletarian author Ivar Lo-Johansson (1901-1990), as manifested in the so-called 'statare' novels: Godnatt, jord (Breaking Free, 1933), Bara en mor (Only a Mother, 1939), and Traktorn (1943). The dissertation examines, on the one hand, modernisation and modernity as the topoi of these novels, and on the other, how the author relates to the li

The Central Asian region, with its young and industrious population, abundant natural resources, and rich history, has all the potential for success. In this context, countries in the region are implementing policies to attract foreign investment for the development of their economies. This report serves as a guide to the socio-economic and political-legal aspects of two major countries in the reg

This paper examines how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected Swedish corporate investments and if it differs from previous economic crises. By using data on total investments and investments made in digitalization and IT of Swedish businesses between 1986 and 2022, two time series regressions examine the impact of crises on investments. The results give support for both hypotheses implying that the

Nitrogen (N) deposition can enhance carbon (C) capture and storage in northern coniferous forests but it may also enhance the demand for phosphorus (P). While it is well established that long-term N enrichment can decrease decomposition and enhance the accumulation of C in soils, it remains uncertain if a higher demand and acquisition of P influence soil C. We studied microbial phosphorus mobiliza

National policies emphasize older people's right to autonomy, yet nursing home residents often have restricted opportunities to make decisions about everyday matters. We use qualitative interview data to analyze staff members' explanations of actions that conflict with both social norms and national policies. Two types of problematic actions are discussed: restrictions of elderly residents' influe

Background: In recent years, analyses of cleft palate speech based on phonetic transcriptions have become common. However, the results vary considerably among different studies. It cannot be excluded that differences in assessment methodology, including the recording medium, influence the results. Aims: To compare phonetic transcriptions from audio and audio/video recordings of cleft palate speech

Humanitära interventioner är ett väl debatterat ämne inom internationell rätt. Det är ett ämne som väcker stora känslor och diskussioner bland jurister samt inom och emellan stater världen över. När det gäller legaliteten av humanitära interventioner finns det mycket material att tillgå, dock övergår diskussionen sällan i det som egentligen är viktigast: Borde humanitära interventioner vara lagligHumanitarian interventions is a well debated subject within international law. When it comes to the legality of humanitarian interventions the international community is divided and a lot of material regarding such interventions can be found. Unfortunately, the discussion rarely turns to the more important question: Should humanitarian interventions be legal under contemporary international law? T
