Den här uppsatsen behandlar förvärv av aktiebolags egna aktier (återköp). Återköp tilläts för noterade publika aktiebolag 2000. Sverige var då ett av de sista länderna i Europa som tillät återköp. Återköp ger svenska aktiebolag möjlighet att på ett enkelt sätt överföra överskottslikviditet till aktieägarna, optimera bolagets kapitalstruktur och använda återköpta aktier vid företagsförvärv. Ett åte

Brevmall A. Reading course in Classical anthropological theory (PhD level) A third level (PhD) “reading course” does not involve any teaching and typically only has one or a few participants taking part in the course. A reading course for 7,5 credits should cover an ambitious and demanding reading material, which exact page number can vary depending on the nature of texts (i.e., heavy dominance of

This thesis analyzes how mindfulness is translated into a business concept for the organizational realm in Bogotá, Colombia. How does an originally “mystic”, eastern esoteric concept like mindfulness manage to travel into and adapt to a material Western setting, specifically Bogotá? Previous research on mindfulness in businesses often analyzes it as an accepted tool for executives and organization

Where does generalized trust—that is, the inclination to place trust in strangers—come from? Our claim is that in economic action, sources of generalized trust may not differ much from the sources of personalized trust. Contrary to a common assumption of a sharp distinction between personalized and generalized trust, we assert a likely spillover effect from relational exchange to a person’s expect

the body of literature on institutional fragmentation and interlinkages has become quite extensive over the last 10-15 years, especially in global environmental governance research. This common ground and the merits of existing scholarly approaches notwithstanding, there are still major new conceptual, theoretical and empirical grounds to be explored. Conceptually, the literature could further go

NIB - Visualisering av biologins många ansikten. Livsvetenskaperna är ett samlingsnamn för forskningsgrenar som studerar biologiskt liv och dess förutsättningar. Området har vuxit snabbt de senaste åren och stora landvinningar har gjorts med ny teknisk utveckling. Teknikerna är dock behäftade med viss osäkerhet, då det kan vara svårt att skilja biologiska fynd från tekniska störelement. Jag har dLife-sciences have developed at a rapid pace during recent years. From experiments investigating single molecules such as proteins or single genes to large scale projects mapping entire organisms in one single experiment. However, data generated from this kind of large scale projects need to be interpreted and integrated with the base of prior knowledge in an efficient, reliable and correct way. T

Stamceller är celler som kan omvandlas till vilken celltyp som helst, vilket gör dem mycket användbara inom olika medicinska behandlingar och undersökningar. Stamceller kan exempelvis behandla cancer och diabetes, men skulle även kunna användas till att bota förlamning. Idag pågår det mycket forskning kring hur vanliga celler kan omvandlas till stamceller. Genom att manipulera mängden olika transkSince stem cells have many applications in medicine and can be used for treating e.g. cancer and diabetes, finding efficient methods for producing them is a relevant area of research. Cell reprogramming is such a method and our collaborators recently showed that adding Hic2 to the existing protocols of methods increases the efficiency from 1% to 10%. In this thesis, I aim to investigate how an add

Sverige har som en del i EU:s fria rörlighet stiftat utlänningslagen kapitel 3a som reglerar rätten för EES-medborgare att uppehålla sig, och arbeta i Sve-rige utan uppehålls- eller arbetstillstånd. Frågan som behandlas i denna upp-sats är om en person med dubbla medborgarskap kan klassas som förmånstagare enligt rörlighetsdirektivet och hur rättstillämpningen ser ut för dem, till skillnad från deAs a part of the EU's free movement, EU-citizens can reside and work in Sweden without a residence or work permit. The question addressed in this essay is whether a person with dual citizenship can be classified as a benefi-ciary according to the free movement directive and how the application of the law differs for them compared to those with only one citizenship.
