Problem och syfte: Den här uppsatsen skall undersöka några av företeelserna som har betydelse för ett skapande av en europeisk identitet och ett "gemensamt" Europa. Diskussionen om Europa som gemensam institution handlar oftast om ekonomiska svårigheter, sällan diskuteras t.ex. historiska, normativa, och kulturella mellanmänskliga och mellanstatliga dilemman i större sammanhang. Frågan j
Svensson (1997) föreslår att centralbanker på grund av implementerings- och utvärderingssvårigheter hos inflationsmål även bör ha ett mål för inflationsprognoser. Han argumenterar för detta med hjälp av en teoretisk modell som antar att den korta räntan, som centralbanken kontrollerar, påverkar BNP-gapet med en periods fördröjning, vilket sedan påverkar inflationen efter ännu en period. För att ma
This bachelor degree essay is an attempt to evaluate four interpretations within the Church of Sweden of the doctrine on original sin and their relation to a Lutheran tradition. I have tried to see if it is possible to assess the degree of loyalty to the Lutheran tradition in the Church of Sweden present in the works of the theologians Bengt Hägglund, Anna Karin Hammar and Eva-Lotta Grantén and in
Att aktieägare skriver aktieägaravtal är vanligt förekommande i svenska aktiebolag och då framförallt i mindre, privata bolag. I aktieägaravtalet kan man avtala om bland annat rösträttsbegränsningar och ägarförhållanden. Den allmänna uppfattningen i Sverige har sedan länge varit att aktieägaravtal endast är obligationsrättsliga mellan avtalsparterna, och därmed aldrig kan binda aktiebolaget. Ett a

A site visit at the location was made in February 2012 to gather information about the fire protection and evacuation of the building. Targets of protection we
In the 1940-ies curtain walls were introduced, i.e. brick walls that do not have any bearing function but served as a front material. Horizontal reinforcement was used in this kind of walls, partly over and under openings or, in undisturbed wall fields, every 5-6th bed joint. In this work the tensile bond strength of mortar joints repaired with an injection tool and a manual method respectively is
Begreppet adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change är relativt nytt in internationell miljörätt. Begreppet adaptation är inte definierat i UNFCCC. Den här uppsatsen analyserar adaptation i ljuset av begreppet reparation i internationell sedvanerätt. Uppsatsen undersöker vad begreppen adaptation och reparation har gemensamt. Kan adaptation i UNFCCC ses som en möjlig utveckling eller förlThe concept of adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change is relatively recent in international environmental law. Adaptation is not defined in the UNFCCC. This paper attempts to address adaptation in the UNFCCC from the perspective of reparation under customary international law. It investigates what the concepts of adaptation and reparation have in common. Could adaptation in the UNFCCC

Since the first issuance in 1994, Swedish Government inflation indexed bonds have given a higher return then their nominal counterpart. This is despite the fact that investors can reduce the risks of inflation. Findings on other markets, as the US bond market, suggest that the higher return can be explained by the lower liquidity of inflation indexed bonds relative the nominal bonds. The aim of th
This paper examines the relation between violent conflicts and democratization in Georgia. Since independence in 1991, Georgia has grown towards increased democratization but within the political transition, many obstacles, in form of violent conflicts and war have threatened the country. In the Democratization and War theory, Mansfield & Snyder argues that increased democracy increases the ri
Costa Rica has an important banana-producing industry that requires vast amounts of pesticides. These can leak into the environment and cause health effects. The most widely used pesticide is mancozeb, which is rapidly degraded to the carcinogenic and potentially groundwater-contaminating metabolite ETU. This study was executed in Matina, one of the most densely banana-cultivated areas of Costa Ri
