Idrottsrörelsen med fotboll i fokus har kommit att förändra sin struktur avsevärt under 1900-talet. Fotbollen har gått från att vara en ideell verksamhet med syfte att samla de lokala invånarna för att utöva sporten till en miljardindustri inom Europa. EU:s konkurrensregler har kommit att spela en viktig roll för att främja idrottens utveckling samt förhindra att marknaden snedvrids genom ekonomisSport movement especially football has change its structure of the sport drastically during the 20th century.

Prominent research of creativity and affect has historically illuminated the relationship between positive affect and creativity, whereas little is known about the effects- influence of negative affect on creativity. The present study aimed to investigate how negative affect influenced creativity by using a divergent and convergent creativity task. A sample of 54 participants was recruited and ran
Kort hållbarhet på malet kött förpackat utan modifierad atmosfär kan leda till svinn i butiker. När denna förpackningsmodell används sätts ofta hållbarheten till 24 h vilket innebär en begränsad period för försäljning. Om hållbarheten förlängs till 48 h för att minska svinnet krävs det att den mikrobiologiska säkerheten bibehålls samt att den upplevda kvaliteten (doft och utseende) fortsatt är god
Uppsatsen undersöker markanvisningssystemet i nio kommuner i storstadsregionerna Göteborg, Malmö och Stockholm. Syftet är att genomföra en kartläggning av vilka tilldelningssätt de olika kommunerna använder sig av inför en försäljning av ett markområde samt vilken påverkan det har på pris, transparens och kostnader. Samtidigt studeras byggherrar och kommuners strategier och agerande i de olika tilThis thesis researches the Swedish municipality system for choosing whom will be allowed to buy and develop land owned by the municipality. With focus on the three largest cities, Gothenburg, Malmö and Stockholm, and the region surrounding them. The purpose of the thesis is to survey the methods used by the municipalities to sell land for developing. How the chosen method affects pricing of land,
Syftet med denna undersökning är att fastställa om det finns ekonomiska incitament för företag att engagera sig i hållbarhetsarbete och huruvida investerare kan tjäna extra avkastning genom att välja aktiebolag som engagerat sig i hållbarhetsarbete under en längre tid framför aktiebolag som inte gjort detta. Studien har genomförts med hjälp av en linjär regressionsanalys i vilken sambandet mella
Economic growth research has over the past few decades tried to explain what causes coun-tries to achieve a sustainable economic growth. Many theories and hypotheses’ have been introduced and tried empirically. One key factor that has proven to create growth is the tech-nological progress. But what is technology? It is a very complex concept and in this paper we use panel data for 41 countries ove
Bakgrund: Oavsiktlig anestesiutlöst hypotermi är mycket vanligt under den perioperativa processen. Hypotermi ger en ökad risk för komplikationer som ökad blödning, infektioner i operationsområdet och obehag för patienten. Syfte: Syftet är att i en systematisk litteraturstudie granska och sammanställa forskningen kring förvärmning med varmluftstäcke innan ankomst till operationsavdelningen och de
European measures and agreements regarding language policy within Europe and its member states have benefited many language communities, but many linguistic issues within the European Union remain unresolved. The European language policy involves many political, cultural and economic challenges for the Union. It is therefore important to not only point out the significance of a European language
At European Spallation Source ERIC, 2 GeV proton bunches will be accelerated towards a tungsten target where spallation will occur, producing a wide neutron energy spectrum. Despite the shielding and moderators in place to stop and/or reduce their energy, a significant portion of the most energetic neutrons, called prompt neutrons, might still reach the sample position of a neutron-scattering inst
The purpose of this study was to analyze how second-generation immigrants describe their identity formation in Swedish society, how the social environment influenced the identity formation and how labeling affect the process of identity creation. Our analysis is based on the globalization theory with its relevant theoretical concepts; hybridity, cultural and ethnical belonging and diaspora. The em
Bakgrund: Intensivvårdspatienter kan utveckla ett tillstånd med konfusion på intensivvårdsavdelningen. Tillståndet kallas intensivvårdsdelirium och bakomliggande orsaker har sedan tidigare inte varit helt klarlagda. Under de senaste åren har intensivvårdsdelirium blivit mer uppmärksammat genom forskning. Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie som inkluderar studier med kvantitativ ansats. Studie
An emerging tool within public relations is the use of bloggers as spokespersons because of their ability to act as influencers. This study investigates how fashion bloggers present products and services they receive from companies in their blogs. The research questions address how discourses are manifested and how independence is expressed in the texts. Based on Fairclough's theory of discour
Bostäder består antingen av hela fastigheter eller av delar av fastigheter. Fastigheter och deras priser är intressanta i förhållande till andra varor då de är knutna till en precis lokalisering. Priset på en fastighet säger mycket om värdet av den lokalisering som fastigheten har. För en stad är prisutvecklingen en slags temperaturmätare och speglar en förändring i attraktivitet för ett visst lägReal estate and its prices are interesting in relation to other goods due to the strong linkage to a precise location. The price of a property says a lot about the value of its location. For a city, price development is a strong indicator and reflects a change in attractiveness for a particular location. The purpose of this Master Thesis is to explain the deviation in price development on dwellin
The terror organization ISIS is using brutal sexual violence in their warfare, targeting women and children in Iraq and Syria. In 2015, more than 5000 women of the Yazidi minority were kidnapped and sold into sex slavery. The aim with this thesis is to answer the research question “How does ISIS benefit from using sexual violence?”, by using the three indicators “good economy”, “motivation to fi
With the constant downscaling of Si transistors reaching its limits, other alternatives have been actively researched the past decades. Group III-V semiconductors are excellent materials with generally high carrier mobilities that can replace Si in transistors. Strain has been used for some years to improve silicon technology, and it can also be applied to III-V materials to make them perform even
The new Swedish Library Act, which took effect in 2014, states in paragraph 2 that libraries in the public library system shall promote the development of a democratic society by contributing to the transfer of knowledge and the free formation of opinions. In recent years several debates have surfaced in the media concerning the democratic mission by public librarians and public libraries, in rega
Smart City is a paradigm for the development of urban spaces through the implementation of state-of-the-art ICT. There are two main approaches when developing Smart Cities: top-down and bottom-up. Based on the bottom-up approach, the concepts of Smart People and Smart Communities have emerged as dimensions of the Smart City, advocating for the engagement of citizens in Smart People initiatives. Th
Different approaches have been used to test capital structure theories empirically. In this paper the statement that Myers and Majluf (1984) discussed, that a low risk debt issue should affect the firm value less than a high risk equity issue, is explored and tested by applying an event study approach similar to the one Eckbo (1986) carried out on different kinds of debt issuances. There are also
