I debatten om förändringarna i lagen om anställningsskydd, har den ökade möjligheten till omställning och kompetensutveckling presenterats som vinsten för arbetstagarsidan. Reformen innebär att anställningsskyddet minskat på en mängd områden och att arbetstagaren som kompensation getts ökade möjligheter till kompetensutveckling och omställning. Som en del av den ökade möjligheten till kompetensutvFollowing the reform of the Employment Protection Act, where enhanced options for employee upscaling and re-skilling were introduced, a debate has centered around the consequences that this will have for the employee. The Employment Protection Act reform includes a weakening of employment protection in general. As compensation, the employees have been granted enhanced opportunities to engage in co

In a global effort to reduce the human impact on the environment researchers and companies are looking into the prospect to extract valuable resources from discarded waste stacked up in landfills all over the world. Through excavating old landfills (also called: Landfill Mining) greenhouse gas emissions can be avoided, important rescores recovered and at the same time reduce pollutants and provide

In this thesis I study international space law’s rules on international responsibility and international liability for private satellite launches. I have used a legal dogmatic method to interpret these rules, before subjecting them to an economic analysis on how they will affect the behaviour of private actors and States. Finally I propose solutions to increase the economic efficiency of three dif

In this thesis the effects of utilizing the sample covariance matrix in the estimation of the global minimum variance (GMV) portfolio are presented. When the number of assets, N, are close to the number of observations, T, the sample covariance matrix approaches singularity, leading to a lot of uncertainties in form of estimation error. Due to that the computations of the sample GMV portfolio are

This paper examines how trust in national and European institutions, as surveyed in the Eurobarometer, has been affected by the 2008 global financial crisis. By using a recently published database on financial crises in Europe for the EU-countries between 1999 and 2017 a series of panel regressions gives strong support for the hypothesis that a financial crisis has a negative effect on institution

The research concludes that agro-processing activities a

With the rise in urbanization and cities fulfilling sustainability challenges, companies across the globe are moving towards circularity. One approach adopted towards circularity is of reverse logistics where companies take back EOL/EOU products. In the furniture industry, this approach towards circularity is coupled with consumers being asked to transport the EOL/EOU furniture to second-hand/ret

Med den ökade urbaniseringen som de flesta städer står inför, är utbyggnad av större anläggningar och hushåll oundviklig. Denna expansion medför ett behov av mer tillgänglig markyta att bygga på, vilket även innebär att platser med varierande markförhållandena behöver utnyttjas. Detta kan resultera i att markegenskaperna inte alltid är passande för stora anläggningar. En lösning till detta problemWith the increased urbanization major cities are facing, expansion of larger facilities and households are inevitable. Expansion means larger areas of the surface needs to be used where the risk of varying subsurface soil properties increases with larger surface areas. This can result in soil properties that might not be stable enough to support these constructions. A potential solution to solve t

System on Chip (SoC) designs contain a variety of Intellectual Property (IP) cores, including digital signal processing blocks, media and graphics processing units, as well as processing core units that employ multiple-port memories to enhance performance and bandwidth. These memories allow parallel read/write operations from the same memory blocks from different ports. Due to the enormous number

Den nuvarande svenska regleringen beträffande det straffrättsliga ansvaret för psykiskt störda lagöverträdare är, i ett internationellt perspektiv, unik. I nästan alla med vårt land jämförbara länder uppställs, liksom även svensk rätt gjorde före brottsbalkens tillkomst år 1962, tillräknelighet såsom ett ytterligare krav för straffrättsligt ansvar. Grunden för en sådan inställning är den allmänt s

In this paper the trade of virtual items in online games for hard currency is analysed using economic theory. There are real welfare gains from trade but the game designer’s interests must be taken into account when deciding whether trade is desirable or not. Ricardo's Comparative Advantage and Hecksher-Ohlin Factor Proportion theories lead to conclusions about game design when trade is free.

A considerable part of world merchandise is transported by sea, and with about 150,000 crew members working on the ship types of interest for this thesis there is much at stake if an accident occurs, both with respect to human lives and financial losses. Since fires have previously shown to be responsible for many accidents with severe consequences, the aim of this thesis has been to investigate t

En datorimplementerad affärsmetod kan se ut på en mängd olika sätt. Beroende på dess utformning och syfte så varierar också de skyddsmöjligheter som står till buds. Både skydd genom patent och som en företagshemlighet erbjuder fördelar som bör tas i beaktande när ett företag sätter upp en strategi för skydd av en affärsmetod. Trots det formella undantaget av affärsmetoder från det patenterbara oA computer implemented business method may take various forms. The protection possibilities may depend on the business method’s character and purpose. Both patent protection and protection as a trade secret provides for advantages as well as disadvantages for a business to consider when choosing a strategy for the protection of a business method. Despite the official exemption of business methods
