The author argues that the redistributive effect of the inflation tax is a product of four channels: real wages, the balance sheet, debt and fiscal policy. The role of elite bias in politics, and its effect on inflation combating measures is also investigated. One interesting finding is that inflation had a re

Sverige är ett land rikt på vattenkraft, både från inlandssjöar men även från våra många vattendrag. Det har därför sedan länge varit en naturlig del av vår nationella kraftförsörjning, och innan elektriciteten var det ett av våra bästa verktyg när det kom till tunga arbetsuppgifter som att driva benstampar eller mala säd till mjöl. Våra vattendrag är därför fulla av gamla vattenkvarnar och dammarThis thesis investigates the complex challenges arising from the recent reviews of permits for dams in Sweden, focusing on the crucial aspect of water resource disposition and its implications for property rights.

Gestures are used in a pragmatic way in interactive contexts such as conversation. Agreement between interlocutors is an ordinary aspect of talk-in-interaction, which is expressed through various types of utterances and gestures. The interlocutors’ status, such as gender and familiarity, may affect both their verbal and non-verbal behavior as previous research has shown. This study investigates th

Kraven på gärningsbeskrivningens precIn Swedish law, the provisions regarding the indictment are found in 30:3 RB and 45:4 RB.

Den 2 december 2016 firar den svenska tryckfriheten 250 år. Tryckfrihetens första halvsekel var en turbulent tid då inte mindre än fem olika tryckfrihetsförordningar infördes. Denna uppsats undersöker perioden 1766-1812 ur ett rättshistoriskt perspektiv med frågeställningar kring vilken historisk och idémässig kontext som låg till grund för förändringarna. Detta görs med fokus på den värdsliga cenThe Swedish freedom of the press celebrates its 250th anniversary on December 2, 2016.

Nowadays, one of the most challenging problems in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is to make robots able to understand humans to successfully accomplish tasks in human environments. HRI has a very different role in all the robotics fields. While autonomous robots do not require a complex HRI system, it is of vital importance for service robots. The goal of this thesis is to study if behavioural pa

Vegetation on land is globally taking up about 30% of the CO2 that is emitted by human activities (oceans take up 30%, while 40% remains in the atmosphere). This ability to store carbon in the vegetation and in the soil is very important to mitigate the climate changes, but all land based ecosystems are not carbon sinks. Ecosystems that are losing carbon needs to be further investigated, so we can

Mostly reconciliation initiatives are worked with during the post-settlement period but in the protracted conflicts of today t

Community radio stations are a new phenomenon in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. While the Kenya Communications (Amendment) Act 2008 recognizes them as a media category, confusion remains around questions of ownership, funding and roles. Following the volatile post-election situation of December 2007, the government imposed a month-long live media ban. Media has been blamed by politicians for infla
