För var dag som går blir vårt samhälle allt mer beroende av teknik och snabb och lättillgänglig information. De flesta av oss söker dagligen efter någon sorts information på internet. Vi gör sökningar på allt som är av intresse för oss för stunden och allt fler inköp görs numera på nätet. Med denna nya, teknikberoende livsstil har det blivit allt viktigare för företag att marknadsföra sina varor oFor each day that passes our society becomes more and more dependent on technology and a fast and easy access to information. Most of us are using internet on a daily basis in search of information. We search for information regarding most things in our lives, from health, lifestyle and food to information regarding travel and work-related issues.

This paper uses three different models Fama-French three-factor model, a Macroeconomic factor model and a combined model to examine the efficiency of the macroeconomic factors in estimating expected returns. The inflation rate and short-term interest rate are chosen as macroeconomic factors. Six European countries, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Norway, Spain and Sweden, are selected to represent diff

Sammanfattning Denna uppsats handlar om de brottsbekämpande myndigheternas användning av den okonventionella spaningsmetoden infiltration, en spaningsmetod som den svenska polisen, sedan många år, utan uttryckligt lagstöd använt sig av. Som utgångspunkt har arbetet haft ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv på infiltrationsverksamheten. Syftet med undersökningen har, med andra ord, varit att studera det räSummary This thesis is about law enforcement agencies' use of the unconventional reconnaissance method of infiltration, a search method that the Swedish police, for many years, without the express support of the law made use of. As a starting point the work has had a legal perspective on infiltration activities. The aim of the study has, in other words, been to study the legal basis for the us

Lungultraljud har visat god precision och reproducerbarhet som diagnostiskt komplement till klinisk undersökning vid akut dyspné. Lungultraljud utförs bedside och är relativt lätt att lära sig, men kräver träning och strukturerat utförande för att inte resultera i felaktiga diagnoser.Lungultraljud baseras till största delen på tolkning av artefakter. Vid en normalt luftfylld lunga bildas horisonteUltrasound plays an important role in several medical fields. The heart was the first organ for which ultrasound gained clinical utility, followed by obstetric and gynecological applications. Shortly thereafter, abdominal organs and blood vessels became targets for ultrasound examination. The lung was long considered inaccessible for ultrasound due to its high air content. Work since the 1990s has

This study analyzes how risk attitudes influence the agricultural productivity of men and women in a sub- Saharan African country, Burkina Faso. By using a large representative panel survey of farmers, the results show that as female farmers increase risk taking, the productivity of female-owned plots goes down. The study controls for various socio-economic factors and explores how the diversity o

Water resource assessments are critical for ensuring water security (WS), particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions with increasing water demand and limited water monitoring capabilities. Earth observations and indirect indicators of surface and groundwater changes are valuable tools for developing such assessments. This study examines WS by combining trends in pumping energy consumption and wate

As decolonization transformed world geopolitics, various Eastern Europeanauthoritarian ultranationalist groups sought to instrumentalize anti-imperialism in their attempts to launch a violent overthrow of the socialist regimes of the Soviet bloc.

A recent body of empirical studies has given us a reason to expect that an influx of low-skilled workers can increase high skilled female market labour supply. Most of these studies, however, have focused on developed countries and on investigating the impact as it pertains to immigration. Believing that this same effect might hold in the case of internal migration, in this study, I employ a shift-s

Our thesis, The Valley Of Trust, attempts to build upon current literature on cultural diversity and its effect on trust by answering the question; How does cultural diversity affect trust within an international team? With the purpose of giving a more nuanced understanding of the role of cultural diversity and its impact on trust within international teams, we build upon the current literature an

Korruption utgör ett allvarligt hot mot rättssäkerhet, ekonomisk utveckling och förtroendet för offentliga institutioner. Samtidigt är skiljeförfarandet en vanlig tvistlösningsmetod inom de branscher som är mest exponerade för korruption. Mutor och korruption har stått i centrum i flera uppmärksammade skiljeförfaranden, vilket väcker frågor om sådana tvister överhuvudtaget lämpar sig för prövning Corruption poses a serious threat to the rule of law, economic development and public trust in government institutions. At the same time, arbitration is a common method of commercial dispute resolution in the business sectors most exposed to corruption. Bribery and corruption have been central issues in several high-profile arbitration proceedings, raising concerns as to whether such disputes are

Beskattning är en central fråga för många företag. För att uppnå en jämnare företagsbeskattning över tid finns det möjligheter för företag att spara under-skott och genomföra underskottsavdrag vid ett senare tillfälle. Det saknas tidsbegränsningar för hur länge ett underskott kan vara ackumulerat vid oför-ändrad ägarstruktur. Om det däremot sker en ägarförändring kan den så kal-lade beloppsspärrenTaxation is a central issue for many businesses. To even out corporate tax payments, it is possible for companies to carry forward losses and make loss deductions in later financial periods. There is no time constraint on how long such a deficit can accumulate if the ownership structure remains unchanged. However, if there is a change in the ownership structure a threshold may be activated and, if

The following thesis investigates the extent to which economic development influences the initiation and consolidation of democracy in Asia. Based on modernization theory and its critiques, the study conducts a quantitative panel data analysis covering 46 Asian countries from 1970 - 2019. Modernization theory suggests that rising income levels, urbanization, education, and social development foste
