The purpose of the thesis was to examine the internationalization process of South Korean software SMEs with a focus on their market selection and international expansion patterns. In addition, the thesis aimed to determine whether the presence of large business conglomerates in the domestic market, a unique characteristic of the South Korean economy, had any significant influence on the internati

Många företag använder ett kundhanteringssystem för att registrera interaktioner med sina kunder. I en allt mer mobil värld vill användarna av dessa system kunna använda systemen var de än befinner sig men oförändrad prestanda och funktionalitet.Working distributed is increasingly important today with technology being more and more portable while connectivity is still lacking in some areas. Cellphones and laptops are increasingly in use outside the office with connectivity to internal office services being unreliable, either due to lacking speed or inability to have a connection. Different solutions exist. One is a client-server setup wh

Det är vanligt att märka ut produkter med ett visst märke men gränsdragningen mellan certifiering, standardisering och märkning av produkter är inte enkel att göra. Det finns inte någon enhetlig definition av certifiering men i rättspraxis, Kommissionens riktlinjer samt i Konkurrensverkets rapport definieras certifiering som att en produkt bedöms enligt en viss förutbestämd standard och att ett inCertifying products with the purpose to better position products on the market is common. To distinguishing certification from standardization and labeling of products is difficult. There is no uniform definition of certification. According to case law, the Commission's guidelines, and the Swedish Competition Authority's report; certification is defined as a product being assessed accordin

In the late 1990s, the member states of the European Union decided to establish a Common European Asylum System (CEAS), in order to enhance refugee protection. However, the emerging common asylum policies have been deeply criticized for breaching international norms and principles. In this thesis I argue that a discrepancy does exist between the international human rights norm expressed as the Gen

One of the basic principles of Swedish law is that everyone is entitled to have his/her claims determined by a court and that the judgment should be given after a hearing. The main rule is that the plaintiff can claim whatever he/she wants, even if it seems absurd. This is a right also given by the European Convention of the human rights article 6:1, which says that everyone is entitled to a publi

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Floden Rio Sucio rinner genom staden Santo Domingo, ett litet samhälle beläget i centrala Nicaragua, ca 5 timmars bilresa från huvudstaden Managua. Rio Sucio betyder smutsig flod på Spanska. Floden har fått sitt namn dels för att den innehåller en stor mängd sediment, vilket gett den en brunaktig färg, och dels för att den innehåller stora mängder tungmetaller, The central mountainous region of Nicaragua is an area subjected to heavy environmental pressure due to anthropogenic activities. For over a hundred years mercury has been used in gold mining activities in this area causing pollution of water resources. The lack of infrastructure in this region has made investigations regarding water quality and availability scarce. This work is focused around the

Den additiva tillverkningsprocessen och kvalificeringen av komponenter i metall är komplex och tillverkningsmetoden är inte ännu fullständigt förstådd. Syftet med detta examensarbete är därför att förvärva kunskap om kvalificeringsprocesser kopplade till additiv tillverkning i metall och att utveckla en hållbar kvalificering för additivt tillverkade komponenter hos Alfa Laval. KvalificeringsprocedThe process of additive manufacturing and qualification of components in metal is complex, and the manufacturing method is still not fully understood. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to gather knowledge of the qualification procedures connected to additive manufacturing in metal and to develop sustainable qualification for additively manufactured parts at Alfa Laval. The qualification pro

Bolivia has experienced a drastic decline in inequality and poverty since 2000. It coincided with the administrative period of Evo Morales between 2006 and 2019. Hence, it is debated whether poverty reduction was mainly driven by economic growth alongside the commodity boom in the 2000s or by policy implementations during Morales’s presidency. This study addresses the research question: “How and w

Integration of immigrants has become a crucial policy-question in Sweden and Western Europe due to the large numbers of immigrants having settled during the last three decades. Previous research has focused on integration policy outcome by studying the design of different policies and programs. This study addresses the question of how the Somali refugees, which are being better integrated in other

Enligt lag har ett barn har rätt till omvårdnad, trygghet och en god fostran. Barn ska behandlas med aktning för sin person och egenart och får inte utsättas för kroppslig bestraffning eller annan kränkande behandling. Det kan tyckas att dessa grundläggande tankarna om barnets rättigheter som stadgas i de inledande bestämmelserna i 6 kap. föräldrabalken (1949:381) är självklara, ändå far barn illaBy law, a child has the right to nursing, security and a good upbringing. Children should be treated with respect for their person and individuality and may not be subjected to physical punishment or other offensive treatment. It may seem that these basic thoughts on the rights of the child, as laid down in the introductory provisions of chapter 6 in the Parental Code (1949: 381), is self-evident,

The aim of this study was to examine youth entry to the Swedish labor market. Young people´s own experiences of their entry into the labor market were in focus as well as their experiences regarding the importance of social actors through their path. The study was intended to highlight the impeding and enabling factors that a youth can face along their path to the labor market. This has been made

This master thesis investigates how personal narrative and emotion might be understood as a feminist strategy in the work True Stories, an autobiographical project by contemporary French artist Sophie Calle. This is done through the application of Judith Butler's theory on heteronormativity, performativity and subversive acts, as well as Sara Ahmed's thought on emotion. The result shows ho

I det blomstrande forskningsfältet om planeter och exoplaneter, det vill säga planeter utanför vårat eget Solsystem hittar vi konstant nya planeter och system som alla ger oss pusselbitar till att förstå hur planeter formas och utvecklas. Så för att förstå de observationer vi gör och bedöma hur sannolikt det är att det kan finnas liv på en planet, måste vi förstå alla olika typer av system och hurIn the thriving field of exoplanet research new discoveries are made all the time, and while most of the observed systems can be explained with classical planet formation models - some are much harder to explain. When stars form they are often surrounded by the remaining material of the nebulae they formed from. Some of this remaining material forms into a protoplanetary disk around the protostars

This master thesis report describes a product development process with the aim to create a construction which ensures an easier installation by replacing screws with other alternative assembly methods. The project has been performed at Axis Communications AB, which is the market leading company in network cameras. A previous project called Rocky provided the idea of an excenter lock compressing an

One of the most difficult problems that an engineer who works with modeling deals with, is the question about how to translate a physical phenomenon into a set of equations. It is usually difficult to capture all dynamics and phenomena, so one usually strives for a set of equations that describes the physical system approximately and adequately with the accuracy for the purpose. In our case, we mo
