The study examines if free-riding behavior seems to be an explanatory factor when it comes to the variation in municipal aid to EES/EU migrants. The study outlines a descriptive concept of non-excludable municipal welfare based on rational choice theory and argues that in such situations there will exist incentives for free-riding. The study argues that aid to EES/EU migrants constitute a case of

Rasism på tunnelbanan anses vara en problematik i samhället som genom sociala processer kan drabba tågresenärer. Problematiken kan vara oundkomlig för personer med viss etnisk tillhörighet, detta främst beroende på hur andra uppfattar ens ursprung. Syftet med denna studie är att utveckla en förståelse för hur individer beroende på deras (självdefinierade) härkomst upplever rasism på tunnelbanan i

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att studera individers identitetsskapande i förhållandet till konsumtion. Uppsatsen har förhållit sig till att studera hur individer använder sig av kläder för att skapa sig en identitet och hävda den men även att studera om det finns någon koppling mellan individens identitet och dess kläder. För att kunna få svar på uppsatsens frågeställning har jag utgått från

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how manufacturing firms use cost drivers and if any factors affect manufacturing firms’ cost driver approach. Theoretical Perspective: The thesis theoretical perspective concentrates on explaining the concept of cost drivers, reviewing existing empirical findings and identification of factors which could affect manufacturing company´s approach

Background: Knowledge work has been described in a boundaryless context with increasingly deregulated working conditions. How common deregulated work is and how the psychological contract (PC) of knowledge workers is affected remains unclear. Objective: An empirical investigation of deregulated work, PCs, and their effects on outcomes, namely work-to-life balance, affective organizational commitme

A methodology for determining inhomogeneities in microstructural features has been established using scanning X-ray diffraction (SXRD) and automated Rietveld refinements. The method has proven successful for spatially resolved quantitative phase analysis or "phase mapping" of retained austenite on a variety of martensitic steel samples, including carbon case-hardened steel bars and quenc

The company which this thesis is written for is a startup based in Malm ̈o, Sweden, with ambitions to develop high quality electrical sports products. The first prod- uct launched by the company is an electric surfboard with amazing performance and user features. The purpose of this project was to, on the companies behalf, look closer on a complementary winter product for the company’s product po

Stacked heterostructures of two-dimensional (2D) materials are emerging as promising building blocks for a wide range of applications. These devices, which range from tunneling transistors to light-emitting diodes, use the properties of 2D materials that are not accessible by their bulk counterparts. However, with the current growth techniques, a scalable mass production of high-quality 2D heteros

Bakgrund: Datortomografi (DT) är en frekvent använd diagnostisk röntgenundersökning för säker diagnos och behandling. Undersökningar genererar dock stor kollektiv stråldos och risken för vävnadsskador är proportionell mot stråldosen. Kvaliteten av undersökningen och stråldosen till patienten kan påverkas av hur patienten centreras i DT. Syfte: Att utvärdera effekter av patientcentrering gällande s

Over the past decade UNFCCC’s climate scheme, “REDD+”, has gained precedence in climate policy spheres; Its immaculate ‘win-win’ solution—to institute a global market- based system for climate change, whereby developed nations pay individual forest users to espouse more sustainable forestry practices—has drawn in the lion’s share of critical debates amongst policymakers, civil society organization

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the fraction of shares owned by institutional investors causes more or less myopia than other investors. Moreover, we look into the role of blockholders and ownership concentration and their effects. The methodology of this paper consists of a level regression model and a first-difference regression model where the dependent variable R&D-to-

På flera Instagramkonton går det att observera kvinnor med tydlig tillhörighet i olika länders försvar som publicerar bilder där de presenterar sig själva helt i enlighet med stereotypa förväntningar på en feminin självpresentation. Handväskan har visserligen bytts ut mot en automatkarbin men poserna är desamma. Genom att kombinera en kvinnlig framtoning med en manligt kodad bransch skapar dessa b

Dangdut as the most popular music in Indonesia is highly sexualized on its representation of women despite the fact that Indonesia is a religious country. Dangdut’s sexualization is prominent on its performance, lyrics and culture. Banality, is the face of dangdut. During its public shows, many of the male audiences are more often than not intoxicated and engage in physical fights. Yet to date, th

This thesis aims to outline the effect of different abstraction scenarios on the extent of nitrate vulnerable recharge area (NFI) in two study areas in Denmark. NFI were designated in order to protect vulnerable groundwater resources from nitrate pollution, where the geology overlying the aquifers does not serve as a sufficient barrier. NFI are officialy calculated by taking into consideration th

When you first step ashore the island of Ven, in Öresund right between Sweden and Denmark, you have two options. Either you go straight ahead, towards the bike rental, or you turn to your right and start walking along the shore. If you do so, you will soon start to find colourful pebbles on the ground along the waterline. Some are round and soft to the touch, others are rough and edgy, and they ar

Background: In spare parts logistics, customers expect a high availability of spare parts from their providers. It is very critical for spare parts providers to be able to satisfy customers’ demands. It acts as a differentiator in the customer’s buying decision. Sandvik, an engineering company, is interested in improving their spare parts logistics. The case company is interested in benefits from

En allt mer konkurrensinriktad marknad har ökat behovet för företag att fokusera på sin kärnkompetens. Givet denna utveckling har större nätverk med fler involverade parter vuxit fram, vilket lett till att fler företag börjat vända sig till en fjärde part. Fjärdepartslogistik innefattar en komplex integrering av försörjningskedjans alla komponenter och ett för kunden större överlåtande av sin verk

Syfte Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur ett byggprojekts riskhantering kan användas med BIM. Studien skall undersöka vilka behov dagens riskhantering har av BIM-baserad metodik och ange de lösningar som finns att tillgå i dagsläget. Genom att identifiera och kartlägga metoder för riskhantering, både med och utan BIM, kan en analys göras om vilka metoder som kan effektivisera riskhanteringen.
