There are reports of word retrieval difficulties demarcated to different domains or categories. The most frequently reported form is that of deficits affecting the ability to name objects in the living domain as opp
Market efficiency in an ex-dividend context is still a disputed matter in the world of finance. Even though numerous articles have been published in the area, with several different approaches, this anomaly is still contested. Overall, the consensus is that the stock price falls less than the dividend amount on ex-dividend day, meaning that there is an excess return to be made at this period. In t
Taxing sugar-sweetened foods has become a relevant question in Sweden. Proofs of this are the population’s huge intake of added sugar, an increasing share of obesity and large related medical treatment costs. This thesis gives a hands-on suggestion of how a tax on sugar-sweetened foods in Sweden could be constructed. The goal of this study is to decrease the sugar intake by 70 percentages of five
Iceland is known for its remote location and rough beauty. In their seclusion, the Icelanders have built an independent and peaceful country. They are undeniably a very unique nation, where police officers are not allowed to carry guns, except on special occasions. The society displays a relaxed attitude towards prisons, which are built without concrete walls around. However, faced with the immens

This study seeks to (1) understand the state of integration of the SDGs among companies on the Large Cap of the Stockholm stock exc
Nya Zeeland – landet som ligger mitt på två kolliderande tektonikplattor. Ett land som präglas av jordbävningar och vulkanutbrott. Utanför Auckland i norra Nya Zeeland ligger den mytomspunna ön Rangitoto, som är en vulkan som tros ha uppstått från en s.k. hotspot, en plym av magma från djupt i manteln. Rangitoto har en eruptionshistoria på omkring 1000 år, och hade sitt senaste utbrott för bara 55The volcano Rangitoto belongs to the Auckland volcanic field and is situated north east of Auckland city, New Zealand. The volcanos of the Auckland volcanic field have previously thought to be of monogenetic origin, but recent studies indicate that Rangitoto has a long history of eruptions, which would suggest that the volcanic system may have entered a new phase. The last eruption is dated to 500
This thesis seeks to explain constraining effects of distance to markets on agricultural smallholder’s ability to commercialise, using Zambia as a case. Despite a growing consensus that inaccessible markets constrain the development of broad-based agricultural growth, creating socio-economic regional disparities, the exact nature by which distance and market access interact with agricultural produ
The essay, The New Clothes of Death is about the funeral customs in Sweden from a culture-historical perspective with an ethnological touch. The essay deals with our present day relation to death and how this can be transformed to the dead person. The questions are highlighted with observations from two funerals, one cremation and, studies of the cemetery environment and the culture of the graves.
Som barnkörledare har jag tänkt på vad barnen egentligen förstår av dirigering. Ibland reagerar barnen på alla gester och ibland inte på några. Som yrkesverksamma körledare, dirigenter eller pedagoger kan vi dra nytta av att veta vad barnen faktiskt tar till sig och intressant vilken information barn i barnkör får ut av dirigering. Dessutom är det intressant att veta hur dirigenter arbetar för attAs a children’s choir conductor, I have thought about what the children really understand about the conducting. Sometimes the children are with me in the gestures and sometimes not. As a professional conductor, choir leader or pedagogue youcan take advantage of knowing what the children actually understand and do not understand. What information do children understand when they are conducted? And
Produktionen av plast ökar snabbt och ständigt. Användningen, eller snarare brister i användningen av plast, uppmärksammas i allt större utsträckning. Ständigt publiceras bilder i media som visar stora berg av plastavfall som flyter omkring i haven. En stor andel av plastavfallet består av förpackningar. Den aktuella studiens utgångspunkt har därför varit en nationell målsättning som vill minska pPackaging stands for the largest use of plastic today and increased recycling of plastic packaging must be urged to maintain our natural resources. Plastic packaging is essential in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry, however the environmental impact of plastic packaging implies that the industry should take responsibility in this matter. The purpose of this study is to define which ac
Contemporary Russia is among some of the most unequal countries. After the fall of the Soviet Union, economic inequality has rapidly increased, and social discontent is rising as demonstrated by the continuous protests that culminated in opposition rallies during March 2017. Despite these events, political stability characterizes the current conditions of the Russian regime. What are the forces ma
Det globala skatteavtalsnätverket består idag av mer än 3000 skatteavtal. Ett av skatteavtalens primära syfte är att undvika att skattesubjekt blir beskattade för en och samma inkomst två gånger. Genom uppnåendet av syftet att undvika dubbelbeskattning främjas globalisering och internationell tillväxt. Skatteavtal är folkrättsliga traktat och ingåendet av ett bi – eller multilateralt skatteavtal fToday, the global tax treaty network consists of more than 3,000 tax treaties. One of the primary purposes of tax treaties is to avoid double taxation. By achieving the objective of avoiding double taxation, globalization and international growth are promoted. There is no universal system on how countries look at the relationship between tax treaties entered into and domestic law. It is usually sa
Utvärdering av Variantrankmodellen vid Genetiska Sjukdomar Vid misstänkt genetisk sjukdom kan en person få remiss till helgenomsekvensering, vilket är en teknik där näst intill hela DNA-uppsättningen (genomet) hos patienten blir avläst. Detta kan användas till att hitta skillnader, eller varianter, mellan patientens genom och ett friskt genom. Alla människor har väldigt många små ofarliga genetisIn this master’s thesis, different options to update the variant rank model used at the University hospital in Lund are presented. The variant rank model filters genetic variants from whole genome sequencing. This is done to identify potential causative variants in patients. Since the knowledge concerning these variants and rare genetic diseases grows rapidly, the model which filters said variants
Användningen av Artificiell Intelligens har ökat de senaste åren och många arbetsgivare väljer att integrera AI i rekryteringsprocessen i syfte att vara kostnads- och tidseffektiva. Men användningen av AI medför betydande nackdelar såsom oavsiktlig diskriminering. Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka den rättsliga reglering inom diskrimineringsrätten när AI används i rekryteringsprocesser. Vidare kThe use of Artificial Intelligence has increased in recent years and many employers choose to integrate AI into the recruitment process in order to be cost and time efficient. But the use of AI brings significant disadvantages such as unintentional discrimination. The essay aims to investigate the legal regulation within discrimination law when AI is used within recruitment processes. Furthermore,
Supply chain management (SCM) and packaging solutions are essential in the food industry due to their impact on the environment and economics, necessitating innovation. How to efficiently move goods through the supply chain therefore involves a complex network involving a great amount of stakeholders and processes. Food distribution logistics are particularly complex, requiring standard procedures
Det byggs fler solenergianläggningar än någonsin, och det är en utveckling som bara ser ut att fortsätta under de kommande åren. Solcellsmodulerna som används i dessa så kallade solparker produceras och installeras idag med en beräknad livstid på minst 25 år; 25 år där de förväntas producera elektricitet och samtidigt konstant exponeras för olika väderförhållanden. Av alla installerade solcellsmodMore solar power plants are being built than ever, and the number only seems to increase every year. The photovoltaic modules used in these plants are manufactured and installed today with an estimated lifetime of a minimum of 25 years; 25 years of constant exposure to various weather conditions, and 25 years of expected power production. As 90 % of all installed PV modules are less than 10 years
Denna uppsats undersöker hur systemet för ersättning av rättegångskostnader i förvaltningsprocessen förhåller sig till rätten till en rättvis rättegång. Denna uppsats undersöker också vilka möjligheter som finns för att få ersättning för rättegångskostnader i förvaltningsprocessen genom en separat skadeståndsta-lan i allmän domstol.
