The aim of this thesis is to present issues related to cross-border taxation of employee stock options and critically inquiring whether the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court’s reasoning about comparable situations in the two rulings concerning taxation of stock options is supported by ECJ case law. On 4th of November 2015, the Supreme Administrative Court in Sweden issued two rulings concerning
I denna uppsats analyseras spelet Bioshock Infinite genom en analysmodell för ludologisk representation framtagen av Óliver Pérez Latorre, utifrån Robert Cassars adaption av Antonio Gramscis teori om kulturell hegemoni. Svårigheterna och konflikten inom det vetenskapliga fältet rörande spel adresseras inledande för att leda till en diskursanalys av spelet i sig, där vi ingående analyserar de ludis
Mental illness has increasingly become a problem throughout the world and is believed to cost the global economy $16 trillion by 2030. Consequently, a growing body of literature investigates the possible causes of mental illness and more specifically, possible early life circumstances which may affect adult mental health. Limited research exists though in terms of exposure to recessions in utero a
Predictive archaeological modelling is a complex analytical process that requires the understanding of how complex environmental and anthropogenic spatial phenomena relate to the selection of archaeological site location and knowledge of the requirements and potential biases inherent in the method of modelling and the raw data itself. This paper aims to demonstrate the utility of the weights of ev
How can the low representation of women in politics in Bosnia-Herzegovina be understood and what can a different approach add to already existing approaches to make Bosnia-Herzegovina more gender equal in terms of political representation of the genders? There has been established a Gender Equality Law that demands a 40% gender quota of political representation, but the gender representation has o
This comparative document analysis looks at the governmentality of the Finnish labor market policies (LMP’s). This study compares Sipilä’s and Marin’s government programs to see if there are differences. The focus is on depicting neoliberalization and power relations in the policies while investigating the framing of unemployment. The theoretical framework consists of the theory of neoliberal turn
Climate change is an issue affecting societies worldwide. As temperatures, precipitation patterns, and sea levels change, our buildings and properties are in danger. Therefore, it is crucial for real estate companies to adapt their properties to the effects of climate change as they will be impacted. To help companies make environmentally sustainable economic activities, the European Union has imp
This is a master’s thesis about green public procurement (GPP) in the construction sector, based on a legal dogmathic study and a case study. The legal dogmathic part focused on both EU-legislation and on Swedish legislation. The case study was performed on the municipal of Lund to understand how a small authority works with GPP. The study of EU-legislation shows that the possibility to request b
The purpose of this study is to investigate how women with an ADHD diagnosis, who were diagnosed in the ages between 12-17, see their own experiences and identities in relation to role expectations of females. The ambition is to bring light to the stories of women, who have been in the shadow of the stereotypical ADHD man in society as well as in studies. The method chosen for empirical material i
Lactobacillus reuteri is known as probiotics with health benefits. Freeze-drying is frequently used to preserve probiotics and keep them alive. However, freeze-drying through freezing and drying might cause some damages to the probiotic’s cells. Formulation by protective agents including cryoprotectants and lyoprotectants prior to freeze-drying can prevent and reduce these damages. In this study,
Helicobacter pylori is an important pathogen inhabiting the human stomach. H. pylori binds plasminogen, a 90 kDa glycoprotein secreted by liver cells, and utilizes it for enhancing virulence. Surface receptors on the bacteria recognize plasminogen that is then activated into plasmin by host factors. The active plasmin can degrade a range of host proteins including proteins of the extracellular mat
The now Swedish province of Scania has had a long history of violence and unrest, with several wars being fought on Scanian soil. Such tumultuous times must have impacted the common people and their living conditions, yet bioarchaeological research is lacking for post-medieval Scania and much of Sweden. By analysing a skeletal material from a 16-18th century semi-urban cemetery in Ängelholm, for w
Climate change is affecting all regions of the globe, causing a shift of temperature distributions. As species try to track their optimal thermal conditions, they are also potentially met with new photic environments. Photoperiod is the main cue for synchronizing migratory birds' circannual rhythms, affecting both their physiology and migration. Thus, their ability to incorporate and adjust to
Homework is widely used in most schools across the world to complement classroom teaching, increase knowledge retention, and foster good study habits. The research on the effect of homework assignment on student achievement is, however, inconclusive with earlier research indicating a positive relationship and newer studies giving a more nuanced picture. This thesis uses data from the 2019 wave of
The ongoing pursuit of advanced multicomponent magnetic nanomaterials with tailored functionalities for applications in data storage, spintronics, and biomedicine necessitates novel synthesis approaches beyond conventional template-based methods. In response, this thesis investigates the generation, self-assembly, and characterisation of largely little-known Fe0.10Ni0.40Co0.25Pt0.25 medium-entropy
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most lethal subtype of ovarian cancer and remains a major clinical challenge due to frequent late diagnosis and limited treatment options. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of targeting the oncogenic interaction between metadherin (MTDH) and staphylococcal nuclease domain-containing 1 (SND1) which are proteins known to promote tumor p
India's buildings sector accounts for 41% of national electricity consumption, yet studies incorporating calibrated whole-building energy simulation with thermal comfort evaluation of manufacturing facilities to reduce the industry’s electricity consumption remain scarce, leaving designers without evidence to prioritise passive strategies for this building typology. This study characterises th
