Ett bokkapitel om lagen om digitala marknader (Digital Markets Act, DMA) som belyser hur digitala plattformar skiljer sig från andra affärsmodeller samt hur lagen kan komma att påverka näringslivet som helhet.

Children with lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans* and/or queer (LGBTQ) parents have received heightened attention during the processes of policy making regarding adoption and donor insemination legislation in Sweden during the 1990s and early 2000s. Yet, very little academic knowledge exists about children and young people in LGBTQ families and their experiences in schools. We engage the idea of "cultu

In this paper we revisit the contentious issue of whether corporate governance arrangements influence corporate cash holdings. We use the exogenous cash windfalls in the oil industry during the 2000s to test the power of three governance dimensions (managerial entrenchment, board independence and ownership) in explaining differences in cash management policies. Between 2000 and 2008 the oil price

Background: Techniques for autofluorescence have been introduced to visualize the parathyroid glands during surgery and to reduce hypoparathyroidism after thyroidectomy. Methods: This parallel multicentre RCT investigated the use of Fluobeam® LX to visualize the parathyroid glands by autofluorescence during total thyroidectomy compared with no use. There was no restriction on the indication for su

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with their 169 targets and 231 indicators epitomise the trend of global governance by numbers. This article suggests the notion of a global “indicator reporting trajectory” that is shaped by three main elements: the politics of indicators, a reporting infrastructure and indicator advocacy. I propose that indicator reporting trajectories may result either in

Befintliga skatterättsliga principer grundar sig på föreställningar om att affärsverksamheter bedrivs genom fysisk närvaro. En stat kan därför, för närvarande, endast grunda beskattningsanspråk på en av de två huvudprinciperna hemvist eller källstat. Enligt den sistnämnda principen kan en stat enbart beskatta sådana företag som innehar någon form av fysisk etablering inom statens jurisdiktion. DigExisting tax law principles are based on notions that businesses operate through physical presence. Therefore, a state can only make tax claims based on either the residence principle, or the source principle. According to the latter, a state can only make tax claims against companies that have a physical establishment within the state’s jurisdiction. However, digitalisation and the progression of

The focus of this paper is on the relationship between U.S. interest rates and real GDP per capita growth in emerging markets. The analysis of the paper seeks to determine if the relationship is negative and non-linear in nature as postulated by the paper’s two hypotheses. Three panel data regressions using the same dependent variable, real GDP per capita growth rate, but different explanatory var

The research explores the protections provided for migrant domestic workers who are highly undervalued and often exposed to trafficking, despite comprising an integral part of the labour force worldwide. Saudi Arabia is a focus destination country for the study, as it emerged from among the top destination countries absorbing 61 percent of recorded Ethiopian migrant domestic workers. Despite such

This thesis examines three Thai NGO's in the form of homes for children built in the aftermath of the 2004 Tsunami disaster. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between, on one hand, strategies used by the homes in order to obtain resources required to further continue their operations, and on the other hand, the explicit objectives of the homes to care for and protect the

Bakgrund: Höga ljudnivåer och bullerskador är ett vanligt problem på arbetsplatser. Många väljer att inte använda hörselskydd då de upplevs försvåra kommunikation. En metod som med ett enkelt mått kan utvärdera hörselskydds påverkan av taluppfattning vore värdefullt. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka möjligheten att med metoden Speech intelligibility impact Level (SiimpL) mäta skillnad m

Background: Early diagnosis of mild lymphedema and treatment are important to prevent its progress. The tissue dielectric constant (TDC), measuring local tissue water in the skin and upper subcutis, has neither been related to the water displacement method (WDM) nor been used to diagnose mild arm lymphedema in patients at risk. Our aims were to evaluate TDC and WDM in combination with palpation, e

This article’s aim is to investigate the creative use of parody and sense-/nonsense-making visible in the Swedish football scene by looking into football chants through the lens of parody. The three examples selected (a song, a chant, and a music video) give a glimpse of possible folkloristic investigations in that context, as possibilities to work on varied and extensive material are profound.
