The Nordic countries have been described as generous front-runners in their development assistance, making observers suggest the existence of a ‘Nordic Model’. They have been claimed to play a leadership role in a European and global context.

We observe that, while predicting returns remain difficult and uncertain, volatility exhibit more persistence and predictability due to well-known patterns such as volatility clustering (Mandelbrot, 1967). We test whether short-horizon volatility forecasts can be used to time leverage in a passive index strategy so as to mitigate the growth penalty from volatility drag in leveraged exchange-traded

Swedish parents today raise their children in a welfare state, where childcare is both accessible and affordable, and often within dual-income households. At the same time, they have witnessed a challenged welfare state affected by cutbacks, privatizations, and the demands of an increasingly flexible working life.

This study examines how public transport passengers experience and use travel time and under what conditions they are particularly concerned about shorter travel time. Using a survey of Swedish public transport users and a follow-up focus group, we compare current patterns with a similar 2009 study. Findings indicate a slight decline in perceived value of travel time, coinciding with a marked redu

In the last decade, the idea of total defence – a whole-of-society approach integrating civilian and military capabilities – has gained renewed prominence in Europe, including within the European Union (EU). Concurrently, the concept of strategic autonomy – the EU’s ability to act independently – has emerged as a central feature in its security policy, driving ambitions for ‘a quantum leap forward

Den nya AI-boomen sänker kraftigt kostnaden för att bygga mjukvara, snabbar på imitationen och intensifierar konkurrensen inom Software as a Service (SaaS), vilket pressar betalningsviljan mot noll. Denna studie ställer två frågor: (1) vilka affärsmodellsinnovationer och utmaningar kännetecknar monetarisering av gratis digitala tjänster, och (2) hur kan dessa insikter tillämpas på ScanThisWine, etThe new AI-boom dramatically lowers the cost of building software, accelerates imitation, and intensifies competition in Software as a Service (SaaS), pushing willingness to pay towards zero. This study asks two questions: (1) which business model innovations and challenges characterise the monetisation of free digital services, and (2) how can these insights apply to ScanThisWine, a free e-label

Problem: Ett nationellt vaccinationsregister där samtliga vaccinationer registreras finns inte i dagsläget. Ett sådant register är tekniskt möjligt men det saknas en specifik, rättslig reglering. Nu pågår en beslutsprocess där olika aktörer försöker påverka hur en sådan reglering bör se ut. Studiedesign: Kvalitativ, deskriptiv diskursanalys av sex dokument publicerade av aktörer med intressen i This is a qualitative, descriptive discourse analysis of the decisionmaking process preceding the regulation of a national immunisation record. Presently, no law in Sweden regulates such a record. The study aims to examine if a regulation is needed, what kind of regulation is needed and who should decide about the implementation of such a regulation. Niklas Luhmann’s theory of decision-making with

In this study I have explored xenophobia in Europe, using cross-national attitudinal survey and regression analysis. Two main theories constitute the theoretical framework, one based on economic conditions and one on group belonging and identity. They are tested, using the ISSP study from 2003 with the yearly topic ‘National Identity’, and their relation to the dependent variable, xenophobia, is e

The Lisbon treaty entered into force on the 1st of December 2009 and this alters the way the European Union is governed. This thesis examines if some of the most important constitutional changes will enhance the democratic legitimacy of the European Union. The focus of my analysis is on the following aspects: that the use of qualified majority voting has expanded in the Council of Ministers; that

Den moderna tidens tekniska utveckling har lett till att allt större och mer omfattande skadeståndsmål anhängiggörs i domstolarna. Fler sakägare är berörda, de tvistiga frågorna i målet är allt mer tekniskt komplicerade och bevismaterialet är omfattande. Domstolarna har stundom hanterat en sådan situation genom att använda sig av pilotmålsmodellen. Modellen har ingen klar definition och användningTechnological development in modern times has led to increasingly larger and more extensive tort cases being brought before courts. The processes are difficult to handle, time-consuming and costly. The courts have occasionally handled the situation by using a model called “pilotmålsmodellen” (or “test case model”). The model has no clear definition and the field of usage is indistinct. The model i

Under de senaste åren har ett antal fall av hets till självmord på internet och sociala medier uppmärksammats såväl nationellt som internationellt. Under våren år 2018 rapporterade medier i Sverige om ett svenskt fall där en polisman givit en ung kvinna instruktioner via sms om hur hon bäst skulle begå självmord. Eftersom självmord och självmordsförsök inte är kriminaliserat blir medverkansreglernIn recent years, a number of cases of incitement to suicide on the internet and social media have been highlighted both nationally and internationally. In spring 2018, media reported on a Swedish case where a policeman gave a young woman instructions through text messages about how to best commit suicide. Since suicide and suicide attempts are not criminalized, the rules of complicity are not appl

The aim of this paper is to establish and implement a framework for the systematic interpretation of insurance contracts. Specifically, this paper will try and establish a uniform means of interpreting an insurance contract, and identify and assess the negative and positive aspects associated with the adoption of such a system. Furthermore, this paper looks to investigate whether or not the interp

Microplastic particles are of increasing environmental concern around the globe and recent studies have shown that these particles are present in the entire water column, thus affecting a range of zooplankton including copepods that have a vital role in the marine food web. This study investigated whether microplastic beads have an effect in the filtration rate in the copepod Acartia tonsa, which

Förbättringar i reproducerbarhet och kapacitet av akustiska mikrofluidiska infångningssystem Vad är akustisk infångning? Arbetet i den här uppsatsen är fokuserat på mikrofluidiska system som med hjälp av ultraljud kan fånga in celler och små partiklar. Mikrofluidik är ett fält som innefattar tekniker där man hanterar små flöden i mycket små kanaler. Principen för akustisk infångning bygger på attAcoustic trapping is a novel technology that allows for microfluidic sample preparation and pretreatment. The aim of this text is to give the reader a general insight in microfluidics with a focus on acoustic trapping. One of the next steps in the development of acoustic trapping is to promote commercialization of the technology which requires that similar devices can be manufactured reproducibly.
