This paper analyzes the effect of overlapping Trade blocs on Trade Facilitation. Using the time, documents and costs incurred as trade facilitation indicators, simulations show interesting yet important effects of an increase in Regional Trade Agreements on trade costs. The results suggest that when it comes to increasing regional trade agreements by 1%, costs are associated with an increase via t
Denna studie tillämpar Van Dijks kritiska diskursanalys på tre tal som hölls av George W.Bush, Laura Bush samt Collin Powell under år 2001 efter attackerna på World Trade Center. I och med att de i dessa tre tal hävdar att kriget mot terrorismen även är en kamp för de afghanska kvinnornas rättigheter, är det av relevans att tillämpa en kritisk diskursanalys för att identifiera relevanta retoriska
This paper empirically surveys the actual links between financial liberalization and economic growth by drawing lessons from both developed and emerging economies over 26 years. The macroeconomic indicators for economic growth are GDP per capita growth, growth volatility, and real lending interest rate. Previous researches hold differing views about whether the impact of liberalization reform on m
Vulnerability to climate change and the capacity to adapt to it are the result of intersecting power structures, system dynamics, and social identity markers otherwise known as intersectionality; and thus, differ greatly between contexts. However, despite the stark contextual differences between small and metropolitan cities, and lower and higher income countries, the policy and study of climate c
I svensk inkomstskatterätt är huvudregeln att ett underskott i inkomstslaget näringsverksamhet som kvarstår från föregående år ska dras av. Denna huvudregel motiveras av att ett strikt upprätthållande av principen om beskattningsårets slutenhet innebär att skattesubjekt vars inkomster i stor utsträckning varierar från beskattningsår till beskattningsår riskerar att beskattas hårdare än skattesubjeThe general rule in Swedish tax law stipulates that net operating losses incurred by a company for one taxable year are to be carried-forward and offset against future profits. This is considered a deviation from the general principle of separate annual tax accounting. The deviation is done with regards to the fact that a tax entity whose income is subject to drastic changes over the years might b
Den 1 juli 2018 ändrades svensk sexualbrottslagstiftning i grunden då bedömningen för vad som utgör ett sexuellt övergrepp förändrades till att definieras utifrån huruvida deltagandet i sexuell kontakt sker frivilligt. Ändringarna som infördes i brottsbalken brukar gemensamt kallas samtyckeslagen. Förändringen innebar även att ett nytt brott, oaktsam våldtäkt som regleras i 6 kap. 1 a § brottIn July 2018, the Swedish legislation regarding sexual assault fundamentally changed in terms of which criminal acts are considered to be a violation of the law. Among these changes was the implementation of the new criminal offence of negligent rape, found in the sixth chapter of the Swedish penal code, which opposedly to the previous ruling that only included intentional acts, now criminali
The recent push for decarbonization in the maritime sector presents an opportunity for ports to strengthen their position as energy hubs. This work studies the existing energy flows in the Port of Trelleborg, one of Europe's biggest roll-on, roll-off ports, and proposes some energy-related development strategies. The current energy flows directly concerning the port are for the most part elect
This thesis uses the humour theories of Michael Bachtin to analyse how meaning is constructed in internet memes, with a focus on the discourse created in online incel forums.

The dynamics of masculinity is understood through Raewyn Connell’s theoretical fr
The immune system is the main defense barrier against infections but exerts selection pressures on other life history traits. Recent studies have given importance to understanding the role of the immune system in birds, and it has been hypothesized that during migration, birds either increase their immune function, as they might encounter novel pathogens, or decrease it to account for the cost of
Mitt huvudsyfte med denna uppsats är att förstå och redogöra för vad den svenska lagstiftningen ställer upp för krav på förvaltningsrätter gällande motiveringsskyldighet, språk och språkbehandling. Vidare är mitt syfte att undersöka om förvaltningsrätters domskrivningar är godtagbara sett från ett rättssäkerhets- och ett rättsstatsperspektiv, samt om de uppfyller klarspråkskravet och barnets rätt The main purpose of this essay is to understand and describe what requirements there are in Swedish legislation for administrative courts regarding the obligation to state reasons, language and use of language.

De senaste åren har tre högt sittande svenska politiker gjort sig skyldiga till, eller blivit anklagade för, brott, vilket fått stor mediebevakning. Vidare är brottslighet i Sverige bland de mer framträdande politiska ämnena. Politikens inställning har under en längre period präglats av ett tufft förhållningssätt med hård retorik och känslostyrda förslag för att lösa ‘brottsproblemet’, som beskriv

De perspektiv av blankningslagstiftningen som kommer att lyftas fram i uppsatsen är inte enbart de nationella utan även de europeiska. Den europeiska harmoniseringen har inte uppnått så stora resultat på det skatterättsliga området, vilket beror på den starka suveräniteten som funnits historiskt när det gäller ländernas egna skattesystem. Fokus kommer i huvudsak att ligga på de skatterättsliga effThe perspectives of short-selling rules that will be highlighted in the paper are not only national but also European. The European harmonization has not achieved such great results in the tax area, which is due to the strong sovereignty that existed historically in terms of countries own tax system. The focus will mainly be on the fiscal impact of the phenomenon of short selling, but also the civ
How do museums reflect a pluralistic society? Since a few decades back in time, diversity is an established concept in Swedish cultural policy. One assumption is that museums could be places that reflect the diversity of cultural expressions in society and also counteract xenophobia and distances between people. Previous strategies to include diversity in museums have been marked by documentation
