This thesis deals with how creative destruction of the music industry caused by digital technologies can change formal and informal norms concerning the protection of copyrighted material. In the process of creative destruction new innovations can be so great that they change people’s beliefs: in the case of the music industry the technological shift from analogue to digital technologies, in parti

The focus of this project will be on democratic institutional design in Egypt following the 2011 revolution. Although important, little attention will necessarily be given to examining the challenges and prospects for democracy in post-Mubarak Egypt more broadly. The paper will proceed under the assumption that a stable, functioning democracy is a reasonable, and further, attainable system of poli

Straffrättslig symbollagstiftning är ett svårdefinierat begrepp. En utgångspunkt är emellertid att begreppet har en inneboende negativ laddning. Att sätta etiketten symbollagstiftning på en strafflag innebär också att kritik riktas mot strafflagen. Ett viss mått av försiktighet måste därför iakttas vid symbollagstiftningsanalysen. Symbollagstiftning är inte en matematisk formel, snarare en misstanSymbolic criminal legislation is hard to define. Despite that, it is obvious that the concept is inherently negative. To label a criminal act “symbolic”, is also a way of criticizing it. It is therefore important to be cautious while analyzing the concept. Symbolic legislation is not a mathematic formula, rather a suspicion of a phenomenon. Neither is symbolic legislation a question of “either-or”

This Master thesis analyzes the causes to the Lebanese civil war and if Lebanon can be regarded as a deviant case in comparison to existing civil war theories that explain the outbreak of civil wars. The author has composed his own civil war theory, consisting of the most commonly used explanatory factors behind the causes of civil wars and this theory is applied on the Lebanese civil war to be ab

Current pallet configurations, specifically pallet heights, are hindering the packaging solutions provider, Boxon Pak AB, from making an optimum use of transport resources. Differences in pallet heights in combination with the vertical space limitation of the transportation units sometimes preclude double stacking the pallets, which delivers as a consequence the shipment of unfilled trucks and und

The paper investigates the mean and volatility spillover effects from U.S and EU stock markets as well as oil price market into national stock markets of eight European countries. The study finds strong indication of volatility spillover effects from global US, regional EU, and world factor oil towards individual stock markets. While both mean and volatility spillover transmissions from the U.S ar

The paper presents the theories of Peter Singer and Tom Regan concerning the moral status of animals and why both deem animals to have a moral standing similar to humans. The two theories differ in their approaches to justifying the moral standing of animals and humans but have very similar conclusions. The paper then goes on to show how both theories have potential problems in justifying that the

In model-based development, floating-point arithmetic is typically used for computations in algorithms and models. However, on many target platforms, there is no support for floating-point computations due to constraints on, e.g., price, size, power consumption, and execution speed. A solution is to use fixed-point arithmetic instead. Manually transforming floating-point code to fixedpoint code is

Uppsatsen är ett försök att visa hur, i Walter Ljungquits svit om sitt alter ego Jerk Dandelin, litteratur fungerar som en social handling och blir till ett slags samhällskritik. För det första, genom att lyfta fram luffaren som en centralgestalt, undersöker uppsatsen vilket samhälle inom böckerna som kritiserar. För det andra, genom att studera Walter Ljungquists litterära teknik, redgör studien
