In this paper, we use a brand new dataset to estimate and compare wages for casually and annually hired workers in early modern southern Sweden. We ask whether men in either situation could have supported families on the basis of their earnings. Findings indicate that casual earners would have been able to out-earn annual employees for most of the period 1500–1850, but by the eighteenth century wh

Energy dispersive extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EDE) has been applied to Pd nanoparticle nucleation at a liquid/liquid interface under control over the interfacial potential and thereby the driving force for nucleation. Preliminary analysis focusing on Pd K edge-step height determination shows that under supersaturated conditions the concentration of Pd near the interface fluctuate ove
This article contributes to scholarly discussions about sanctuary enactments. We analyse transversal sanctuary enactments, i.e. when migrants in search of protection are provided with basic welfare and an opportunity to remain, in contestation of the state’s migration politics. The study draws on empirical data collected through a transdisciplinary research initiative in Sweden, the Asylum Commiss
In this chapter, we discuss the main themes of the book and give examples of how the rest of the chapters are related to these themes. We have identified two main aspects that are partly overlapping and are equally relevant for international firms’ work with ethical questions related to their business. One concerns how ethical behaviour related to sustainability can be applied as a main part of fi
Childhood cancers are life-threatening diseases that affect the whole family. During the treatment moral situations might arise. Research on how parents perceive moral challenges in childhood cancer care is sparse. The aim was to explore parents’ main concern, and how they deal with their main concern, when facing moral challenges in childhood cancer care. Data collection included focus group inte
BackgroundThere is a need to enhance access to and support for self-management of activities in everyday life after a stroke. Internet-based solutions have the potential to contribute to this development. Consequently, an internet-based intervention called Strategies for Empowering Activities in Everyday Life (SEE) was developed. The intervention aims to assist clients in developing management str
Tillväxtverket har identifierat ett finansiellt gap för mindre och nystartade företag i Sverige. Orsaken till detta är att dessa företag har svårigheter med kapitalanskaffning, vilket ofta är essentiellt för företags överlevad. Problematiken med kapitalanskaffning beror delvis på att banker och traditionella kreditinstitut ser stora risker med att låna ut pengar till mindre och nystartade företag.The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth has identified a financial gap amongst startups and smaller companies in Sweden. The gap is a result of a difficulty for these companies to raise capital, which often is a necessity for companies in order to survive. The difficulty of raising capital is due to the fact that banks and traditional credit institutions are at high risk when lending m
In this thesis, the power dynamics underpinning the relationship between USAIDfunded humanitarian organizations and U.S governmental agencies – in relation to the Global War on Terror (GWoT) - are critically investigated. To this end, a Foucauldian lens of ’disciplinary power’ is utilized to uncover U.S governmental agencies’ employment of disciplinary practices categorized as surveillance, correc
Size doesn't always matter - Especially when it comes to the brain of a Butterfly or a Moth Surely, we have have all seen those cartoons, where the smart scientist have a ridiculously big brain, “the bigger the better” as the saying goes. Well this is not always the case, brain tissue is actually one of the bodies biggest energy consumer, so if you are not using every bit of that brain, it w
Empirical EKC literature has conceptual flaws that arise due to the inclusion of polynomials and cointegrating relationships of powers of integrated processes. Additionally, previous studies focused on a narrow nexus between environmental degradation and economic growth that yield only a partial EKC. Considering hereinabove mentioned points the aim of this study is to assess the EKC hypothesis in
Sedan NJA 2005 s. 462 har det utvecklats ett skadeståndsansvar för staten vid överträdelser av Europakonventionen. Detta ansvar innefattar även ideella skador. Senare har ansvaret vidgats till att även omfatta överträdelser av fri- och rättigheter i 2 kap. RF genom NJA 2014 s. 323. Lagstiftaren har på grund av denna utveckling i rättspraxis valt att införa en särskild bestämmelse i skadeståndslageSince the case of NJA 2005 s. 462 a liability to pay damages has developed in case law in case of violations of the European convention on human rights and fundamental freedoms (ECHR) by the Swedish State. This liability also includes violations of chapter 2 of the Instrument of Government, which was first established in the case of NJA 2014 s. 323. The liability both considering ECHR and the Inst
The purpose of the expansionary monetary policy pursued by the Riksbank in 2015–22 was to stimulate the economy and increase the excessively low inflation, in a situation where interest rates were lowered to zero. A common criticism that the Riksbank has received is that the negative policy rate in combination with quantitative easing was a mistake. I analyzed the consequences of expansionary mone
The present study examined the relationship between identity leadership and employee well-being. Given the limited empirical evidence on the relationship between the specific identity leadership dimensions (prototypicality, advancement, entrepreneurship and impresarioship) and employee well-being, the current study aimed to explore these relationships. The study was conducted with a digital questi
The increase in global competitiveness and the advancement of digital technology are compelling organizations to innovate by enhancing their product offerings with digital services. Although this phenomenon known as digital servitization is well researched in larger organizations, there is less investigation on how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) manage this trend, particularly in Sweden. This
By studying the role of policy in the emergence of the moving media cluster in Skåne, this paper contributes to the understanding of how change in Regional Innovation Systems occurs and how it is change dependent by nature. The study shows how policy played a major role in the early stages of new path creation in the case of the moving media cluster. By assessing existing resources and competence

The participants’ experiences of what is important in the implementation, planning and context for such treatment setup to be successful, as well as the potentials and limitations are explored. Method: A total of 14 semi-structured interviews were
Den mekansika konstruktionen av en baklucka till en bil är relativt enkel. Bakluckan roterar kring sina gångjärn likt en pendel och hålls antingen stängd eller öppen. När bakluckan hålls öppen görs detta normalt med hjälp av gasfjädrar. Detta examensarbetet har behandlat situationen då bakluckan är så stor och gasfjädern så stark så att resten av fordonet blir synligt påverkad av kraften som dessaThe purpose of this thesis is to analyze the construction of a hearse made by Adiga on account for Nilsson Special Vehicles, NSV. The vehicle suffers from deformations in the rear as a result of mismatched gas springs and in side doors when these are kept open. Virtual models of side doors and rear are prepared in Catia and then analyzed in Ansys. For the tailgate, the minimum necessary force in
Personal computers have gained a significant boost in computational power and digital storage space at a reduced cost in the last decade. In the search of increased programmer productivity and cross platform portability, language popularity has shifted from lower level languages such as C to higher level languages such as Java and C#. Many of today’s embedded systems are experiencing the same deve
