This thesis analyzes the impact of immigrant entrepreneurship on factory ownership in Sweden between 1880-1910. During the Swedish industrial revolution, international migration increased due to significantly changing industries all around Europe. The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate whether immigrant entrepreneurs were more likely to become factory owners compared to native Swedes, in the g

Att arbeta hemifrån har de senaste åren blivit allt vanligare. Inför framtiden spås att den fysiska, ordinarie arbetsplatsen kommer att bli än mindre viktig och att fler kommer att vilja arbeta på distans helt eller delvis. Ett reviderat EU-direktiv ger dessutom småbarnsföräldrar och anhörigvårdare möjlighet att begära att få arbeta på distans av omsorgsskäl. Arbetsmarknadens parter har sedan längIn recent years working from home has become much more prevalent. It is predicted that the physical, regular workplace will become even less important in the future and that more people will want to work remotely in whole or in part. A revised EU directive gives parents of young children and carers the opportunity to request to work remotely for care reasons. Early on, Sweden’s labour market partn

Ensamrätten till ett varumärke är en dynamisk rätt, där skyddsomfånget förändras över tid. Skyddsomfånget avgörs utefter graden av särskiljningsförmåga, vilket innebär ett varumärkes förmåga att särskilja varumärkesinnehavarens varor eller tjänster från andra näringsidkares varor eller tjänster. Vid varumärkesregistrering är särskiljningsförmåga ett absolut krav. Är fallet så att ett varumärke helA trademark right is a dynamic right, where the scope of protection alters over time. The scope of protection is determined according to the degree of distinctiveness, which means the trademark’s ability to distinguishing the goods and services of one trader from the goods and services of another. A trademark must be capable of distinguishing to be registered. If a trademark has completely lost it

Motivated by the increasing importance of today’s environmental issues as well as by the increasing concerns related to energy use, the study is intended to perform an energy intensity decomposition in order to analyze the effects of structural and technical changes on the energy patterns and in specific on the energy intensity of ten major developing countries in Asia and in Latin America. The ma

The basin of the Poopó Lake, situated on the Bolivian high plateau, is severely contaminated by the mineral extraction and processing activities within the area. Many rivers in the area contain high concentrations of arsenic, lead and cadmium both in the water and the sediment phase. Moreover, huge amounts of mineral waste are situated in the area. In this study the environmental conditions of thr

The iron production in northern Scania is well documented and research has been done during a long time. The primary focus in these researches was to study the production process, the starting and the ending time of the production and the area of production. The ending time of the production is usually said to be with the Swedish conquest of Scania. The other part of this paper is about “friskytta

This study of plural suffixes in written plural contexts used by lebanese learners of second language French is based on previous works by Schlyter & Bartning (2004), Granfeldt et al. (2005) and Ågren (2008). The learning process of an L2 learner passes through stages that are clearly determined and systematic. In this study twenty lebanese learners of L2 French were asked to write a text base

Molnens roll i klimatsystemet har studerats och deras påverkan på solens inverkan på jordens energibalans. Jordens albedo påverkar energibalansen genom att den påverkar hur mycket av solens instrålning som reflekteras eller absorberas. Moln påverkar jordens albedo och spelar därför en viktig roll i denna balans. Molnbildning sker till nära 100% i troposfären och där finns allt det vi kallar väder.The role of clouds in the climate system has been studied and their impact on the Sun's impact on the Earth's energy balance. The Earth's albedo affects the energy balance by influencing how much of the Sun’s radiation is reflected or absorbed. Clouds affect the Earth's albedo and therefore play an important role in this balance. Cloud formation occurs almost 100% in the tropospher

Acoustophoresis, i.e., the contactless manipulation of small cells or particles via acoustic waves is a gentle and label-free method that can, amongst others, be used to isolate rare cells such as circulating tumor cells from blood. To isolate enough cells, a large amount of sample needs to be processed in a reasonable amount of time. In a clinical setting, usually around 10 mL of blood can be col

All-inorganic CsPbI3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have attracted intense attention for the application in photovoltaics and optoelectronic applications due to their phase stability and great photoluminescence (PL) properties. However, the their photostability is still to be investigated in detail. In this thesis work, we studied the photostability of the CsPbI3 QDs suspended in hexane and found l

The nanocrystalline ZnO:Fe semiconductor oxides were successfully synthesized via the sol-gel calcination method. Structural, optical and electrical properties of the investigated samples were characterized by various techniques such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), UV-vis absorption and electrical transport measurements. The optical band gap for undoped ZnO (3.19 eV) decreases (2.75 eV) with inc

The interaction between the metal organic precursor molecule titanium(IV) isopropoxide (TTIP) and three different surfaces has been studied: Si(111)-(7 x 7), SiOx/Si(111) and TiO2. These surfaces represent the different surface compositions encountered during TTIP mediated TiO2 chemical vapor deposition on Si(111). The surface chemistry of the titanium(IV) isopropoxide precursor and the film growt

Agricultural emissions in Europe are important to several atmospheric transport-related environmental issues. These include local and regional air quality problems, such as PM exposure, eutrophication and acidification, toxics and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, resulting in a number of environmental impacts. Over Europe, agricultural emissions are variable in space and time and the cont

This paper describes and illustrates how a network picture methodology can create understandings of external parties in mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Recent studies have brought attention to the limited use of qualitative research methods and the overlooked marketing perspective in M&A studies. Network pictures refer to how individual actors in companies perceive their company's busines

Abstract in UndeterminedIt has recently been argued that giving is spontaneous while greed is calculated (Rand et al. 2012). If greed is calculated we would expect that cognitive load, which is assumed to reduce the influence of cognitive processes, should affect greed. In this paper we study both charitable giving and the behavior of dictators under high and low cognitive load, to test if greed i

A VCO is implemented in an RF 90 nm CMOS process and covers the frequency range 2.55-4.08 GHz. Drawing 19 mA from 1.2 V, the phase noise at 20 MHz frequency offset from a 3.7 GHz carrier is -156 dBc/Hz, meeting the phase noise requirement for GSM/EDGE and SAW-less WCDMA transmitter after frequency division by 2 or by 4. A second version of the VCO covers an additional 4.90-5.75 GHz range, at the e

Auger decay processes of the Cl 2p ionized states have been studied in Cl-2 by means of high- resolution electron spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. This led to reassignment of the normal L2,3VV Auger decay spectrum of Cl2. The reliability of this assignment is strongly supported by an independent measurement of the L2; 3VV Auger electron spectrum of Cl2 which has been obtained after selecti
