In this article we argue the need for more socio-legal scrutiny in a digitally mediated and data-driven development. We focus and briefly outline socio-legally relevant aspects of the “sharing” economy, that poses a number of conceptual issues on how we understand and regulate innovative platform based ventures. This also arguably underscores a number of issues relating to the role of consumer and
Should an inflation-targeting central bank have an explicit tolerance band around its inflation target? This paper provides an answer derived from the Swedish experience. The Riksbank is exceptional in the sense that it first adopted and later abolished an explicit band and is currently considering bringing it back. We conclude that the band should be explicit for several reasons. Most important,
Through an argumentation analysis can one show how it is feasible to view a narrative religious text such as the Gospel of Matthew as a literary argument. The Gospel is not just “good news” but an elaborate argument for the standpoint that Jesus is the Son of God, the Messiah. It is shown why an argumentation analysis needs to be supplemented with a pragmatic literary analysis in order to describe
Measuring innovation is a challenging but essential task to improve business performance. To tackle this task, key performance indicators (KPIs) can be used to measure and monitor innovation. The objective of this study is to explore how KPIs, designed for measuring innovation, are used in practice. To achieve this objective, the author draws upon literature on business performance in accounting a
The essay aims at decoding the 1954 novel The Sound of Waves in relation to Mishima’s biography, political and aesthetic theory, arguing that his most serene artistic achievement is, in the end, a desperate self-deluding for various inner contradictions. In a minute hermeneutic approach the article identifies and interprets such defining issues as: suicide, loneliness, individualism, egoism, mater
Under de senaste åren har västeuropeiska bedömare uttryckt oro över utvecklingen i Ungern och Polen. En ny spricka mellan Väst- och Östeuropa har tagit form, vilket märktes till exempel i samband med valet till Europaparlamentet förra året. Inte minst uppfattas Ungerns premiärminister Viktor Orbán och Frankrikes president Emmanuel Macron som representanter för ett östligt, bakåtblickande respektiv
Numerical analysis have been performed on tensile test experiment data to evaluated the performances of a 9 microns thick aluminium foil. The identification of the anisotropic material properties is based on tensile tests performed in 11 di↵erent angles from 0 to 90 from the rolling direction. By least square fitting and extrapolation to zero load the elastic modulus is, as opposed to the general Numerical analysis have been performed on tensile test experiment data toevaluated the performances of a 9 microns thick aluminium foil.

Higher music education (HME) in Europe is multifaceted due to the great variety of legal frameworks, conservatory histories and practices. However, following the Bologna declaration in 1999, traditional conservatories are gradually transforming into research-based institutions, which means combining advanced performer training with artistic research.

This book is about how sustainability criteria may be used in a legal framework, with the purpose to promote and safeguard sustainable products and their production. The research and analysis in the book are conducted on the basis of the EU approach to use sustainability criteria for biofuels in the transport sector, legally expressed in Directive 2009/28/EC, and its amendments in Directive 2015/1
Svensk hälso- och sjukvård innehåller i dagsläget ett stort antal informationssystem som inte kommunicerar med varandra digitalt. Detta minskar patientsäkerheten och leder till stora effektivitetsförluster inom verksamheten. Ett aktuellt ämne på både lokal, regional och nationell nivå är därför hur dessa system kan integreras. I denna uppsats presenterar vi ett ramverk för utvärdering av de integr
Bakgrund: Enligt Socialstyrelsen finns det omkring 34 000 hemlösa personer i Sverige. Att förlora sitt hem kan för många ge en känsla av att en bit av ens livshistoria och identitet skalas bort. Syftet med studien var att beskriva tillgänglig litteratur inom arbetsterapi och aktivitetsvetenskap med avseende på hemlöshet. Metod: Författarna valde scoping-metoden för att genomföra studien. Resulta
Behovet av prisvärda bostäder är stort och byggsektorn måste i större utsträckning, än vad som i nuläget sker, möta de krav på billigare boende som ställs av marknaden. För att kunna bemöta denna efterfrågan måste en mer kostnadseffektiv byggprocess framträda. En lösning på detta är enligt byggkostnadsdelegationens betänkande ”Från byggsekt till byggsektor” en ökad industrialisering av byggandet.
The rise of social media has brought with it new forms of civic engagement. This is a case study of the Greenpeace 2010 campaign Give the Orang-Utan a Break directed at Nestlé for its use of palm oil. The purpose of this case study is to analyse the discourse used in blogs during the Greenpeace campaign as well as to analyse the relationship be-tween different types of online content. The study ap
Abstract: This thesis treats the subject of rural development and nonfarm development in particular with a focus on community-based tourism. With support and examples from old development theories the aim is to explore how rural development in today’s world differs from the time of the industrial revolution and what that shift looks like. A case study of Buliisa district Uganda, stands as example
Syfte: Syftet är att fastställa om det finns empiriskt stöd för Bhattacharyyas (2010) ramverk genom att analysera strategiska CSR-aktiviteter. Vårt mål är att utreda om ramverket är ett lämpligt verktyg för strategiskt CSR-arbete inom organisationer. Metod: Vårt tillvägagångssätt är baserat på en kvalitativ ansats där fyra fall av CSR-aktiviteter är utvalda för en fallstudie. Teoretiska perspektivPurpose: The purpose is to determine whether there is empirical support for Bhattacharyyas (2010) framework by analyzing strategic CSR activities. Our goal is to determine whether the framework is a useful tool for strategic CSR activities. Methodology: Our approach is based on a qualitative approach where four cases of CSR activities are chosen for a case study. Theoretical perspectives: The the
Efterfrågan på sockerrör har de senaste åren ökat i takt med att fler länder strävar efter att minska sitt beroende av fossila bränslen. Som en följd har antalet sockerrörsodlingar kraftigt ökat i Brasilien vilket medfört en oro inför vilka effekter denna omvandling av ursprunglig mark till sockerrörsodling har på lokala hydrologin och klimatet. I det här arbetet har påverkan av sockerrörs expanThe demand for sugarcane has increased in recent years as more countries desire to reduce its dependence of fossil fuels. Therefore, the number of sugarcane plantations has rapidly increased in Brazil which raises concerns for what effect these conversion of original land to sugarcane plantations have on local hydrology and climate. In this thesis, the effects of sugarcane expansion on surface ru
