I en tid där den sino-europeiska handeln ökar snabbt, stiger även antalet juridiska tvister. Det finns få saker som är så skrämmande som att funktionera i en obekant miljö. Med anledning av detta undersöker och jämför denna uppsats varumärkeslagstiftningen och –skydden i EU och Kina, med särskild hänsyn till de problem som västerländska kommersiella aktörer förväntas bemöta i samband med inträde pIn an era where Sino-European trade is increasing rapidly, the number of legal disputes is on the rise. There are few things as frightening as operating in an unfamiliar environment. For this reason, this thesis examines and compares the systems of trademark law and protection in the EU and China, with special regard to problems commonly encountered by western commercial actors in their entrance o

Climate change is one of the most important global issues of our time. It does not only have implications on the present population but also on future generations for a long time to come. With this in mind, it is essential to understand how people act in an intergenerational setting. This thesis focuses on three aspects; risk, fairness, and indirect reciprocity together with the formation of socia

ERP systems have originally been developed for large enterprises (LEs). However, market saturation, integration of supply chains and improvements in technology have led to more and more small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) adopting ERP systems. Though there is a focus shift from LEs to SMEs in the ERP market, most academic literature on ERP systems is based on findings from LEs. In addition,

The key aim of the current paper is to analyse the plausibility of a pricing model for temperature weather derivatives. The historical data are studied in order to propose a stochastic process that describes temperature dynamics in three Swedish cities. The prices of the contracts in an incomplete market of weather derivatives are obtained using a constant positive market price of risk of a benchm

Organiseringen av välfärdstjänster i specialiserade och byråkratiska myndigheter är ett arv från den svenska modellen som byggdes upp i Sverige efter andra världskriget. I takt med att samhället har förändrats anses denna organisering inte ha den helhetssyn som krävs för att lösa komplexa samhällsproblem. Som ett svar på förändrade samhällskrav initieras därför ofta samverkan mellan myndigheter. U

De senaste åren har funktionaliteten för mobiltelefoner förändrats avsevärt. En ny kategori av enheter, så kallade smarta mobiltelefoner, har flyttat mobiltelefonens användningsområde allt närmre persondatorer. Detta inte minst genom att erbjuda möjligheter för tredje part att utveckla egna applikationer, appar, för plattformen. Tidigare har designprinciper använts för att vägleda utvecklare av an

The aim of this essay was to examine women who had their first child in the ages of 18-19 years old and their experiences of being a young mother in the Helsingborg municipality and to examine if there is any support for these women in the Helsingborg municipality. The method was based on a qualitative study with semi-structured interviews with three mothers and two professional social workers. Th

This is not a traditional thesis in any sense and certainly not by the actual definition and proper meaning of the word in itself. I have instead chosen to produce a creative work in relation to the field of studies. This Master’s work consists of a screenplay with additional supporting texts connected to that screenplay, a logline, a premise, and a synopsis.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur män utsatta för våld i nära relationer framställer och talar om sina upplevelser. Hur konstruerar männen sin situation, sina partners och sig själva i sina berättelser? Vi studerar hur männens framställningar samspelar med den samhälleliga diskursen om våld i nära relationer, vilken ofta förmedlar en bild av mannen som förövare och kvinnan som offer. Män s

The increasingly competitive climate has caused companies to pursue counteractive strategies such as M&As in the hope to attain synergy potential. However, M&As are associated with a high failure rate and synergy realization is often unsuccessful. One area poorly covered in previous literature and often unattended by merging parties is synergies within logistics, despite its significance f
