Between 1997 and 2003 several tax reforms were carried out in Mozambique in order to increase tax revenues. This study analyses the revenue and stabilisation effects of these tax reforms. The revenue effects are evaluated through both the quality of the reforms – through their accordance with the recommendations of uniform taxation – as well as the quantitative effects on the level and composition

In seeking to explore the role communication managers have on the reputation of a CEO and the corporate reputation, this study builds on the existing research on roles research and corporate reputation. The theoretical framework conn
This thesis conducts a case study of the policy development and adaptations leading to the New Military Service policy in Germany through a policy travel lens. It follows the policy process over three phases between 2024 and 2025. Moving from policy transfer to policy translation, a framework building on framing vocabulary is developed and guides the analytical focus on how the policy has been ada
ABSTRACT The existence of sound symbolic and mimetic words in the Japanese language is well known. Although the most common appearance of these sound symbolic words occurs in Japanese comics they do exist in many other forms of media, ranging from television shows to everyday conversation. These words, a very good tool for the native Japanese speaker to convey intimate meanings and sensations, po
The migration policy of the European Union is debated. Countries inside and outside of the Union are affected by what is said and decided, and what is not. I decided to choose Portugal, a country with historic ties to colonialism, and investigate its relation to the Union and its policies. To be able to understand the power-relations and the tacit understandings that is imbedded in policy-making,

With the introduction of information theory in the middle of the 20th century, the concept of noise came to be contrasted with signal. The exhibition Noise to Signal mainly consists of two projects that highlight the relative nature of these terms.The three textile works, all with the title Untitled (Noise), appear abstract but also represent a grainy filter that is usually applied to digital imag
The purpose of this report is to map and analyze new European state interventions for the operation of public transport and explore their relevance in a Swedish policy context.The report meets this purpose by mapping state subsidies that have been introduced in Europe in recent years and how these are designed. Furthermore, in-depth studies are conducted for Germany and Austria, the two countries
Purpose: The authors' primary goal was to investigate the potential of past tense inflection as a clinical marker of Danish specific language impairment (SLI). They also wished to test the predictions of the extended optional infinitive (EOI) account and processing based accounts of SLI on Danish. Method: Using sentence completion and sentence repetition tasks, the authors investigated the use of
Wetland area has decreased dramatically compared with preindustrial times, and in manyagricultural areas almost all wetlands have been drained to gain cropland. The trend hasin recent years been reversed because society has realized the many benefits of wetlandfunctions, such as for nutrient retention and flood control. In this study we inventoried 75 wetlands in Uppland and Halland for insects an
This study evaluates the practice of the security provisions in ADR (the Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) for the first time. A qualitative case study of an organisational field was undertaken, comprising fourteen semi-structured interviews with four government agencies and eight logistics firms in transportation of dangerous goods in Sweden. Four evaluat
Popular Abstract in English The eye is a complex device in charge of producing clear and sharp images of the outside world. While some people need glasses early on in their lives, others have nearly perfect vision until, all of a sudden, they have to hold books or documents further and further away from their eyes to be able to read them and eventually have to resort to reading glasses. This visuaHealthy eye lenses are transparent and flexible, able to adapt shape in order to focus on far away and close-by objects. With age, however, this flexibility is lost, leading to a condition known as presbyopia. This vision disorder where close-by objects appear blurred commonly starts around the age of 40. The aim of this thesis is to elucidate the molecular origin of the gradual hardening of the c
The negative effects of transport in terms of pollution, congestion and climate change has urged the need for higher shares of cleaner and more efficient modes of transport, especially in urban settings. While new tech- nology can solve some of these issues, behaviour changes has also been identified as an important factor to achieve a modal shift from cars to walking, cycling or public transport.The negative effects of transport in terms of pollution, congestion and climate change has urged the need for higher shares of cleaner and more efficient modes of transport, especially in urban settings.

Inconel 718 is a Ni-based superalloy that can perform excellently at elevated temperatures. However, surface and subsurface damages in the form of microstructural and property changes and tensile residual stresses are common in a machined Inconel 718 component because of its poor machinability. Such damages have a significant influence on performance and the life time of the part. To characterise Inconel 718 is a Ni-based superalloy that can perform excellently at elevated temperatures.

The past five years, Northern Africa and the Middle East have been characterized by revolutions and civil wars. Today, we can see two major civil wars raging in the region, one in Libya and another in Syria. In 2011, the UN Security Council (UNSC) passed resolutions that would ultimately lead to a military intervention in Libya, with the purpose to protect civilians from the regime. This intervent
The collaborative economy represents a paradigm shift that could help to address the economic, social and environmental problems of our time. However, its ability to actually deliver that promise is highly disputed. This thesis aims to address the knowledge gap of the types of value that organisations based on collaborative consumption and production actually create, and the strategies that they u
