This paper is written in order to study the effects which foreign direct investment firms have on developing host countries in order to find if countries' policies to actively attract FDI are a good development strategy. In order to find how FDI effects the countries are a big set of possible effects discussed and empirically tested using firm level data from 126 different developing countries
Syfte: Studien ämnar undersöka ifall procent korrekt skattade kreditbetyg kan påvisas vara högre än vad tidigare forskning fastställt vid en branschspecifik undersökning av teknologibranschen samt allmännyttiga företag. Studien ämnar även, i samma kontext, undersöka om procent korrekt skattade kreditbetyg visar sig vara högre vid dessa två separata branschspecifika undersökningar än vid en undersöPurpose: The study aims to investigate if the percent correctly predicted credit ratings can be shown to be higher than previous research has established with an industry-specific survey of technology and utility companies. The study also aims to, in the same context, examine if the percent correctly predicted credit ratings proves to be higher in the these two separate industry-specific than in a
The purpose of this study is to contribute to increased understanding and knowledge acquisition of the development of the Nordic defense cooperation, and in particular the deepening of cooperation between Sweden and Finland in recent years. The consequences after the end of the Cold War meant a time when the existential threats to the Nordic countries were low, following with the unwillingness of
This is a problematization of UN’s work on preventing child soldiers and also an analysis of the consistency between the Convention on the Right of the Child and Responsibility to Protect (R2P). I have chosen to examine the Convention on the Right of the Child because it expresses the human rights of a child, and R2P because it phrases UN’s opportunity to protect human rights in a state where thos
Denna undersökning studerar vilka säkerhetsperspektiv som speglas i idén Skyldigheten att Skydda genom att utforska ett par nyckeldokument: ICISS rapport från 2001 samt FN:s summitdokument från 2005. Med hjälp av en idé- och ideologianalys svarar undersökningen på vilket av det mänskliga, det politiska, det militära samt ett postkolonialt säkerhetsperspektiv som framförallt speglas i Skyldigheten
Nya skyldigheter för utländska företag verksamma i Sverige infördes den 1 januari 2021. Trots frånvaron av ett fast driftställe i Sverige eller annan skattskyldighet, ska skatteavdrag för preliminär inkomstskatt göras från betalningar för arbete som ett utländskt företag utför i Sverige. Den innehållna skatten kan återbetalas, men tidigast efter att ett beslut om slutlig skatt har fattats efter räNew obligations for foreign companies operating in Sweden have been introduced on 1 January 2021. Despite the absence of a Swedish PE or other tax liability, payments for work performed in Sweden by foreign companies is subject to a requirement of withholding preliminary income tax. A refund of the withheld amount can be granted, but only once a final tax assessment has been completed after the en
This study investigates the complex mechanisms that drive and facilitate a Sustainable Entrepreneurial Mindset. While existing literature highlights the importance of Sustainable Entrepreneurship in promoting sustainable change, it lacks a detailed understanding of the specific mechanisms behind this mindset. To address this gap, the study conducts semi-structured interviews with ten sustainable e
Införandet av uppblåsbara och mekaniska vädertätningarna har sänkt energikostnader genom att eliminera en av de största värmeförlusterna i lagringscenter. Dessa vädertätningar kostar tio tusentals kronor att installera och finns nu i varje lager runt hela Sverige. Denna kostnad gör det dyrt att ersätta en vädertätning ifall den skadas. Största orsaken till att dessa vädertätningar blir förstörda eWith the introduction of inflatable dock shelter bags and curtain docks, money and energy has been saved in solving one of the major heat losses in distributions centres. These dock shelters are now almost on every dock across Sweden and each cost thousands of kronor to install. Therefore, it is expensive for distribution centres to replace them whenever they break. ASSA ABLOY have found a common
We sought to propose and test the validity of a comprehensive prognostic model in middle cerebral artery-stroke treated with Intravenous thrombolysis. A total of 127 consecutive patients (aged 70 +/- 12 years; 54% males) were included in this retrospective study. Variables included in our prognostic model were: NIHSS on admission (1-3 points), occurrence of hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign a
We present a network of sites across Fennoscandia for optical sampling of vegetation properties relevant for phenology monitoring and satellite data calibration. The network currently consists of five sites, distributed along an N-S gradient through Sweden and Finland. Two sites are located in coniferous forests, one in a deciduous forest, and two on peatland. The instrumentation consists of dual-
We develop a general patch-use model of central place foraging, which subsumes and extends several previous models. The model produces a catalog of central place effects predicting how distance from a central place influences the costs and benefits of foraging, load-size, quitting harvest rates, and giving-up densities. In the model, we separate between costs that are load-size dependent, i.e. a d
The co-assembly and temperature-dependent phase behavior of dilute aqueous solutions of a thermoresponsive cationic diblock copolymer and oppositely charged bile salts, sodium deoxycholate and sodium glycodexoycholate, or sodium dodecyl sulphate at different charge fractions in terms of negative charge were investigated by static- and dynamic light scattering (SLS/DLS), differential scanning calor
In the days of IoT and smart homes Bluetooth is in constant development and with it the products that use Bluetooth. Bluetooth mesh is the latest feature and with it comes many opportunities of new products. This report describes the development of an outdoor light system which can be controlled from a website. The system is named Luminaire and consists of a custom built circuit board, an encapsul
As one of the largest economies in the world, Japan obtains great potential for foreign investors. Nonetheless, the Japanese market has been known to be difficult to penetrate for foreign companies. Research areas of adjustment regarding Swedish companies’ market presence in Japan were identified as; forming the organisation characteristics, culture and leadership approach, acquiring skills, manag
In Östra Göinge, it appears that during the past five years, a recurring problem exists where residents feel unsafe. This, while the number of reported crimes is still remarkably low, according to results from the National Safety Survey which is a survey formed by the police and the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention. Thisresearch started off by conducting a pilot study consisting of st
The first part of the thesis aims to investigate the applicability of JGrafchart and its associated Model of Computation(MoC) for describing sequential control in aircraft primary power distribution systems. The motivation behind this is the need for better modeling tools and in particular support for separation between nominal control and fault handling. Also, as system complexity increases, bett
In this essay, I examine how the author of Hebrews argues in 7:1-10:18 with respect to the Levitical sacrificial cult and its function. Many scholars claim that the author disqualifies and condemns the Levitical cult as ineffective and unsuccessful at the same time as he is building his argument on the cult. This conclusion has led some to question the sustainability of his argumentation. Furtherm
Numerisk strömningsmekanik är en kraftfull metod för att förstå flödet och förbränningen som sker i flygplansmotorer och kommer att vara ett avgörande verktyg i övergången från konventionella fossila bränslen till hållbara alternativ. Eftersom mer forskning har skett kring konventionella bränslen bör en simuleringsmetod för alternativa bränslen föregås av en metod som verklighetstroget kan simulerComputational fluid dynamics is a powerful method for understanding the flow and combustion that occurs inside aircraft engines and will be a key tool in the transition from conventional fossil-based fuel to sustainable alternatives. Because conventional fuels have been more widely researched, an attempt at simulating the combustion of alternative fuels should be preceded by the development of a m
This thesis has investigated the relationship between market capitalization to GDP ratio relative to the Capital asset pricing model (CAPM) and Fama French three-factor model (FF3M). More specifically, the applicability and significance of market capitalization to GDP ratio to describe the relationship between excess return and risk. The study was conducted on OMX Helsinki and Bolsa de Valores de
There are over 65 million people all over the world, fleeing from war and other conflicts. Sweden has become one of the largest residence in Europe for refugees and only in 2015, 163 000 asylum seekers made their way into Sweden. The refugees and asylum seekers in Sweden are struggling to find work and it has been estimated to take approximately 7-10 years to establish themselves on the labour mar
