Software acquisition is very important for any type of company nowadays, including start-up companies. This study examined which software applications are acquired by start-ups, in what ways, with what motivations, and for what purposes they are used. The study was done by first conducting a survey amongst 50 start-up companies in the Netherlands and Sweden and by then doing four follow-up intervi
The connection between supply chains, markets and businesses is getting more and more complex and it can be a big problem for enterprises to solve. One solution to the problem is the usage of a business intelligence system. This system helps the organization analyze critical data that can lead to saving resources by making the right decisions. The world is getting more and more mobile, and the BI-
Why have I decided to put the final touches on this document now, almost six years after I left the Lund University School of Industrial Design? In retrospect, with six years of experience as an industrial designer, the focus for my master’s thesis would have been something entirely different, but this document is an interesting snapshot of my thoughts at the half way point between when the doors
Tactile interaction plays an important role in human relationships, alleviating anxiety, stress and depression, through the release of endorphin and other physical functions. In several societies touch between people is either seen as a taboo or decreasing in behalf of the heavy use of technology. New parents are particularly affected by lack of touch (and consequential lack of intimacy) partially
In November 2010 the largest outbreak in Sweden, and the second largest worldwide, of the parasite Cryptosporidium in public water supplies happened. The cause is still unknown, but the effects of the outbreak were that 27 000 inhabitants in the city of Östersund got infected. This study is a research of how other municipalities in Sweden are working with, preserving healthy drinking water, and ho
Studien syfte var att undersöka upplevelser och självbilder kopplade till överskuldsättning hos överskuldsatta personer med psykisk ohälsa. Överskuldsättning, i studien definierat som en upplevelse av att inom överskådlig framtid inte kunna betala tillbaka sina skulder, är ett växande fenomen som uppvisar ett positivt samband med psykisk ohälsa. Studien baserades på intervjuer med nio respondenterThis study investigated experiences and self-images related to over-indebtedness among over-indebted individuals with mental health problems. Over-indebtedness is a growing phenomenon, here defined as the experience of not being able to pay one’s debts within a foreseeable future, that correlates positively with mental illness. The study was based on interviews with nine respondents and situated m
The free movement of people is one of the basic principles within the EU and shall also apply to family members. Family law is governed nationally and is not a part of the EU legislative competence. This results in different family laws between member states. Complications arise since some of the EU member states recognize same-sex marriage while other member states do not. In member states where
This work discusses the representation of ethnic diversity in contemporary stock photography imagery in the light of postcolonial critical theory. Departing from the Visual Content analysis of a random sample of stock photography retrieved from the Getty Images database, it attempts an interpretation of the empirical findings following the concepts of Whiteness and Self / Other dichotomy, both bel
Min rättsvetenskapliga uppsats behandlar den svenska bestämmelsen om utvidgat förverkande i 36 kap. 1 b § BrB. I händelse av att en gärningsperson begår ett av de i 36 kap. 1 b § BrB nämnda förverkandeutlösande brott, kan staten genom beviskravet klart mera sannolikt komma åt vinster från brottslig verksamhet som inte härrör från det förverkandeutlösande brottet i sig. Det finns ingen yttre tidsgrMy graduate essay deals with the Swedish provision of extended confiscation in article 1 b, chapter 36 of the Swedish penal code. In the event that an offender commits one of the stipulated crimes in article 1 b chapter 36, the state may with a lower burden of proof then beyond reasonable doubt, confiscate profits from criminal activities, which do not stem from the perpetratory crime itself. Ther
Aktiebolag är i behov av kapital. Detta beror dels på ett lagstadgat krav om att alla aktiebolag måste inneha ett aktiekapital, dels på att olika affärsprojekt och investeringar kostar pengar. Det finns nackdelar med samtliga befintliga finansieringsalternativ. Av denna anledning utreds i detta arbete, med användande av den rättsdogmatiska metoden, om en alternativ lösning för kapitalanskaffning iLimited companies are in need of capital. This is partly due to the statutory requirement that all limited companies must hold a share capital, but also because of the fact that different business projects and investments cost money. The existing financing options all have some disadvantages. As a result, this essay investigates an alternative solution for the raising of capital in limited compani
Parter kan genom att införa en skiljeklausul som bestämmelse i ett avtal välja att förbehålla prövningen av tvister i anledning av det avtalet åt skiljenämnd. När nämnden eller domstol har att avgöra om skiljenämnden är behörig att pröva en viss tvist kan det hända att en faktisk omständighet är av omedelbar relevans både för avgörandet i behörighetsfrågan och för avgörandet i sakfrågan. Dessa omsBy including an arbitration clause in an agreement, two parties can choose to resolve future disputes relating to that agreement through arbitration. When the arbitration board, or a court, is to determine if the arbitration board has the authority to solve a dispute the situation can arise when a certain fact of the case is of relevance both to determine the jurisdiction of the board, but also to
Knowledge on how polymeric materials changes or is affected when exposed to products is of interest and importance for many commercial applications. Understanding the product interaction on packaging materials is the key to preventing errors and increasing the quality of products. At Tetra Pak®, product packaging is created to make food and drink safe and accessible everywhere. Therefore, packagin
Studien avsåg undersöka hur kontext påverkade eventsegmentering och minnesbaserad, temporal bedömning. Vidare undersöktes samband mellan psykiskt mående och förmåga till eventsegmentering. Ett datoriserat minnestest användes för att utforska hur kontext påverkade upplevelsen av temporal närhet mellan två objekt. Objekten hade tidigare presenterats med antingen samma kontext, två olika kontexter elThe study intended to examine how context influenced event segmentation and memory based, temporal estimation. Furthermore the study explored correlation between mental illness and event segmentation. A computerized memory test was conducted to investigate how the contexts influenced the estimation of temporal proximity between two objects. The objects were presented with either same context, two
Numerous papers and studies have shown that the rainforests are experiencing a decline in biodiversity. The rainforests are getting depleted of larger primates and this poses a problem for the trees as many of them rely on primates and other seed dispersers to distribute their seeds. These empty forests are spreading, but does that mean that everything is hopeless? This study aims to investigate t
Misshandel är ett begrepp vi i allmänhet förknippar med allvarligt våld mot en, helt eller delvis, försvarslös part. Våld mot den enskilde är en gärning som kriminaliserats i lag då samhället ser den som klandervärd både i Sverige och Danmark. Rättsordningen har till syfte att skydda den enskildes intresse, och i vissa fall till och med skydda den enskilde från sig själv. Det man ofta inte tänker Assault is a concept we generally associate with serious violence against a, wholly or partly, defenceless party. Violence against an individual is an act the society has criminalized because of the danger and effect it can have on the party concerned. The purpose of the legal system is to protect the individual´s interest, and in some cases even protecting the individual from himself. Even if the
This study aims to investigate whether countries succeed to reduce their contribution to global emissions when countries reach higher levels of income. As a result of rapid changes in international trade, a country’s emission responsibility goes beyond national borders, which should be adequately captured in their carbon footprint. This study discusses that the two conventional accounting measures
The purpose of this study was to examine social workers experiences of the work with a child perspective when dealing with financial aid. A qualitative study with four semi-structured interviews with social workers was performed. The sample was made through purposive sampling of social workers in the department of financial aid in different municipalities in northwest Skåne. The results of the int

The aim of this thesis is to analyze and determine the meaning of the term “Beneficial Owner”, in the model treaty of the OECD and therefore its meaning in bilateral negotiated treaties based on the model treaty. The term’s legacy and application is presented. While the meaning and application of the term is being presented, its application as, as well as border to, anti-abuse rules are examined.
När en kompilator optimerar programkod så är det typiska tillvägagångssättet att applicera en sekvens av transformationer på den ursprungliga koden. Den slutgiltiga prestandan kan försämras om ordningen på den sekvensen inte är optimal. För att komma runt det här problemet har jag undersökt ett kompileringssätt baserat på Program Expression Graphs (PEGs), och utvecklat ett tillägg till ARMs existeCompiler optimizations are typically implemented as a sequence of trans- formations, applied to some representation of source code. The problem of ordering these transformations in an optimal way is commonly referred to as the phase-ordering problem. Program Expressions Graphs (PEGs) are a code representation designed to get around this problem, by deferring the decision of which optimizations to
