The mandatory report legislation under Chapter 14, 1 § Social Services Act, imposes an obligation to report to social services if they suspect child maltreatment. The interest for our thesis topic was brought when we read articles and previous research showing that preschool teachers and well baby nurses do not always notify when they suspect child maltreatment. The aim of this study was to examin

China‟s relations with African countries represent a growing trend in international relations and South-South cooperation. One important aspect of these liaisons is China‟s financial assistance and its deployment of resource-backed infrastructure loans. Angola is China‟s biggest supplier of oil, whereas China is Angola‟s largest donor, having provided Angola with 7.4 billion dollars in credit line

This paper proposes a new method for quantifying financial integration by adapting Adrian & Brunnermeier (2016)’s ΔCoVaR to conform with standard asset pricing literature (Lewellen & Nagel 2006, Cochrane 2009). We reconcile ΔCoVaR with standard microeconomic theory (Waller & Lewarne 1994) and test for causal relationships with respect to the contagion of US acute financial shocks to th

In 2023, seven major property owners in Malmö attempted to raise rents a second time, after annual rents for the city’s tenants had already been finalized. In doing so, landlords broke with historical precedent, by coordinating efforts to bypass the rent negotiation process with the powerful Swedish Union of Tenants (SUT). The Swedish rent negotiation model, a product of militant organizing by the

This thesis concerns the matter regarding the impact of quantitative easing on government bond yields. The extensive use of asset purchase programmes in the beginning of this century has raised a number of discrepancies for researchers to unravel. By applying a SVAR on time series data of Sweden, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States and using impulse response analysis we try to cont

This bachelor thesis on entanglement in nano systems includes a short presen-tation of the history of quantum mechanics before entanglement takes the spot light. A definition of entanglement will be stated as well as a prescription to quantify it for a pure system. The knowledge will then be used to quantify the entanglement for the ground state of few particle systems containing 2, 3 and 4 particl

Popular summary Deforestation has been recognized globally as the second largest source of Human-induced release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon stored in trees is important in the global carbon cycle and affects the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The process of deforestation takes place when man clears forested land. The amount of carbon stored in forested areas is larg

The eighteenth century marks a watershed in European intellectual history. It witnessed the development of many civil rights ideas that were prerequisites for the emergence of modern political systems. One principle that appears to be supported by numerous empirical examples is that evolving political pluralism fostered the right to express one’s views with a certain degree of freedom. This articl

The dominant image of judicial authority is emotional detachment; however, judicial work involves emotion. This presents a challenge for researchers to investigate emotions where they are disavowed. Two projects, one in Australia and another in Sweden, use multiple sociological research methods to study judicial experience, expression, and management of emotion. In both projects, observational res
