Children that are born later in the year are, based on previous studies, more likely to be diagnosed with a neuropsychiatric disorder (hereby NPD), which is a bit surprising considering that NPDs are considered to be primarily genetic disorders. The aim of our study is to test the hypothesis that there is a correlation between being born later in the year and an increased prevalence of referrals f
Violent political or religious extremism is a threat to both Sweden and other nations, and terror attacks have resulted in casualties and personal injuries. On a less extreme level, extremist conversion impacts individuals negatively and incites conflict within households and families. Youths must be protected from recruitment attempts by violent extremist organisations, whether far right, far lef

This study examines the development of affective polarization in Sweden and whether it can be attributed to the political debate changing its focus to new issues. The study builds on data from the SOM-undersökning and focuses on the last twenty years. In the study, I argue that changes in what the electorate perceives to be the most important type of political issue have a causal effect on aff

EU:s mervärdesskattesystem är idag uppbyggt kring destinationslandsprincipen, vilket innebär att försäljning till annat land inom EU inte påläggs någon skatt. Mervärdesskatt upptas istället i destinationslandet. Detta var till en början tänkt som en övergångs-ordning. Den slutliga ordningen för mervärdesbeskattningens vidkommande var tänkt att baseras på ursprungslandsprincipen, där skatt läggs påThe European VAT system is built around the destination principle, which means that intra-community sales are exempt from taxation.

This system is in fact an interim system, and according to art. 402 of the VAT directive must be replaced by a system based on the origin principle.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera vilka förväntningar lokala aktörer har inför Eurovision Song Contest i Malmö.

I den här uppsatsen visar jag att löneskillnaderna har sin orsak i den socialt konstruerade genusstrukturen som påverkar samhällets statussammansättningsprocesser och till exempel arbetsfördelningen inom hemmet. Förekomsten av direkt diskriminering, fördelningsdiskriminering o
The social significance of destiny in old Icelandic sagas and eddas from the thirteenth century is examined in this paper.

The role of the gods and the creatures such as nornor and valkyrior is a central part in trying to u
