This thesis has presented four cases of hypothetical sentences using subjunctive in Spanish and their Swedish counterpart. The investigated sentences were the three subordinate clauses: consecutive, comparative and conditional as well as the principal clause that is combined with a subordinate conditional clause with si. The objective of this thesis was to investigate how hypothetical sentences us

It has long been debated whether second language learning activities that contain authentic materials are more effective than their constructed and more grammatical counterparts, and there is still no clear consensus on whether one is more efficient than the other. This research paper investigated the writing proficiency of four students learning French at Lund University in Sweden, where one stud

The aim of this thesis is to look at how home-based teleworking influences individuals and how the social institutions (labor and social welfare) construct home-based female teleworkers. The thesis is mainly divided into two parts: one on micro level focusing on the influences of teleworking on home-based female teleworkers, and one on the macro level aiming to find out the influence of labor and

The purpose of the present study was to increase knowledge about social anxiety within a population that previous research has largely ignored even though it has been showed that difficulties often arise in this period, namely adolescence; by looking upon how frequently occurring it is, to see which symptoms are most commonly experienced and to see if and how social anxiety relates to diverse psyc

This thesis aims to analyze the exports from the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to the European Union (EU) during the period 1972-2006. During this period several agreements were signed with the ambition to make it easier for LDCs to export to the EU market. The gravity model is used to examine the consequences of the agreements. The LDCs are categorized into three geographical categories: Afric

Förevarande examensarbete syftar till att ge en överblick över rättsläget rörande förhållandet mellan intern rätt och skatteavtal med särskilt fokus på den situation då en samtidig tillämpning av skatteavtalet respektive den interna rätten leder till oförenliga följder (”normkollision”).

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning. Katalyskammare för aktivitetsmätning med laser. Katalysatorer är oumbärliga i såväl livsprocesser som industriella tillämpningar. Bilismen är ett exempel där katalysatorer används vid såväl bränsletillverkning som avgasrening. Med hänsyn till miljön måste mycket ständigt förbättras, också katalytiska processer. I mitt examensarbete har jag karakteriserat en ny Industrial catalysts are very complex systems, often produced of nanoparticles dispersed in a so-called support material to maximize the surface area and minimize the cost. These catalysts are very difficult to study in surface science. Therefore industrial catalysts have been developed in a trial-and-error approach, with the loss of the fundamental understanding of the reactions. In surface scien

Antalet olovliga nyttjanden av ensamrätter har ökat under de senaste åren. En immateriell rättighet som inte kan skyddas mot intrång saknar i många avseenden värde. Tillgången av verkningsfulla och effektiva sanktioner är därför en nödvändighet. År 1994 infördes en ny sanktionsform i varumärkes-, mönster- och upphovsrättslagen, nämligen vitesförbud. Sanktionsformen skulle förse rättighetsinnehavarThe number of cases of infringements of intellectual property rights has increased in recent years.

Issues of social policy, such as they are manifested in the welfare states are in the EU-setting within the competence of the members states. The social policy foundations of the welfare state have

For instance there are on-going investigations regarding how to create attractive residential environments close to shopping areas with high traffic density. In many places, the vision is a mixed-use ne

Ett aktiebolags styrelses arbete styrs av den kompetens vars gränser fastställs av ABL och aktieägarna.

Om en EU-medlemsstat utformar en inkomstskatterättslig regel på ett sådant sätt så att den aktuella inkomstskatterättsliga regeln negativt särbehandlar en gränsöverskridande skatterättslig situation i jämförelse med motsvarande rent inhemska förhållanden, föreligger ett skattehinder för den fria rörligheten stadgad i EUF-fördraget. Inkomstskatteflyktsregler som specifikt riktar sig mot gränsöverskIf a Member State in the European Union design an income tax law rule in such a way so that the current income tax law rule leads to a negative difference of treatment in cross-border fiscal situations compared with corresponding purely domestic situations, there is a tax obstacle that hinders the free movement established in the TFEU.
