Sverige är ett exportland med lång tradition av handel med omvärlden. För att kunna utnyttja våra absoluta och komparativa fördelar gäller det att vi har god kunskap om vad som påverkar vår handel. Dagens konsumenter har ett stort antal produkter att välja mellan. Handla har aldrig varit lättare och med hjälp av internet är det möjligt att handla varor från andra sidan jordklotet med minimal ansträngning. Vi ställer oss frågan, har vår språkkunskap och kultur en inverkan på den internationella handeln? Denna fråga ska försöka besvaras med hjälp av ett bland de vanligaste verktygen vid skattning av bilateral handel, den så kallade gravitationsmodellen.

Export is a top priority for Sweden's economy but for Swedish companies it may involve uncomfortable risks of exporting without sincere consideration. When the United Nations Security Council puts an embargo against a country, this often mean an import and export restriction. The thought is to push undemocratic regimes into respecting human rights. When the embargo is in force, however, the parties are not able to fulfill their contractual obligations, which practically means that the agreement will be suspended. The problem is what happens when an embargo is in force for a longer period of time.

Syftet med detta arbete var att beskriva teorin om gerotranscendens och dess implementering i omvårdnaden av äldre. Frågeställningarna vi utgick ifrån var: Vad innebär gerotranscendens? Hur kan teorin implementeras i den praktiska omvårdnaden av äldre? Metoden vi använde var systematisk kunskapsöversikt. Teorin om gerotranscendens inför en ny förståelse om åldrandets process. Denna process medför en förändring av den äldres definition av verklighet från en materialistisk och rationell syn på omvärlden till en alltmer kosmisk och överskridande syn vilket för med sig ökad livstillfredställelse.

This in turn madetrade an important part of the mining village.

This paper describes and develops a trade off model of optimal capital structure by Bradley et al. (1984). The model is then tested to examine how changes in corporate tax rates affect the optimal capital structure of firms. Based on theoretical implications of the model, four hypotheses are derived stating that firms? optimal debt-to-value ratio is (1) negatively related to financial distress costs, (2) negatively related to non-debt tax shields, (3) negatively related to firm volatility and (4) positively related to the corporate tax rate.

John A. Warden III är en av vår tids mest inflytelserika luftmaktsteoretiker och Wardens teori är vida omskriven och ligger till grund för flertalet undersökningar. Warden redogör själv för att teorin inte skall ses som en mall utan att det snarare är generella idéer och riktlinjer. Det gör att teorin går att applicera på många olika fall men det lämnar också utrymme för tolkning. Syftet med denna uppsatts är att undersöka ifall allmängiltigheten i Wardens teori gör att teorin tolkas olika.

Abstrakt: Studien har genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer undersökt nyckelaktörers beskrivningar av problembilder och åtgärder i dagens Seved samt skillnader mellan beskrivningarna. Intervjudeltagarnas svar d v s resultat av uppsatsens metod har analyserats utifrån social desorganisation-teorin samt broken windows-teorin. Studiens resultat visar: att det finns stöd för flertalet av de beskrivna problembilderna/åtgärderna i dagens Seved att kopplas till social desorganisations-teorin samt dess utveckling i form av kollektiv styrka-teorin. En del av broken windows-teorins problembild kan kopplas samman till nyckelaktörers beskrivningar medan åtgärderna till största del inte överensstämmer med broken windows. Mellan nyckelaktörer finns skillnader vilka kan förklaras genom att fler nyckelaktörer i större grad grundar sina problembilder utifrån social desorganisation och färre i broken windows-teorin.

This essay discusses the issue of the role of women and also whether they could obtain a strong social position during the Viking Age. Moreover, it does discuss the question of how frequent women were present in Viking Age scriptures, art and archaeological artefacts in comparison to our view of women and her position in the modern society. The archaeological material used is in majority that found in Birka, such as burial and habitational findings. These objects, as well as other comparable and similar findings from other places, when put together with written sources, show that women had different roles in the society. She was able to have a strong social role during the Viking Age not only becauseof the status her family had but also because of her own merit depending of her skills and ability.The archaeological findings found in female graves and other findings in the area, suggest a specializing within both textile production and trade for the women.

The purpose of this study is therefore to contribute to a greater understanding of the regulation regarding posted workers, their work environment and the consequences of it.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka den långsiktiga relationen mellan CO2-utsläpp per capita och förändringar i BNP per capita enligt teorin om miljö Kuznets kurvan (EKC) i Sverige. I uppsatsen används tidsserier över CO2-utsläpp per capita samt BNP per capita som omfattar åren 1839-2011. Relationen mellan de två tidsserievariablerna har undersökts med ekonometri, för att se om det finns ett samband som ger stöd åt teorin om EKC. Resultaten från de ekonometriska testen indikerar på att det finns en relation som stämmer med teorin. Detta innebär att Sveriges BNP per capita har ökat under hela den undersöka perioden, medan utsläppen av CO2 per capita har nått en vändpunkt från vilken de har minskat.

The purpose of this thesis is to through the analysis of interviews with finance professionals in listed companies answer the question on what lies behind capital structure decisions, and to see how well the prevailing theories fit the answers. This article is an explorative and descriptive hypothesis creating study. We have used a qualitative method to analyse practice through theory. We have conducted telephone interviews with CFO:s and financial executives in Swedish listed companies on how they reason when they make capital structure decisions. We have then thoroughly reviewed the theory and empirical tests of the theories.

Målet med detta arbete är att ta reda på hur elever lär enligt teorin om olika inlärningsstilar och hur man kan hjälpa eleverna att hitta sin unika stil. Detta för att skaffa kunskap om hur man kan individanpassa och variera undervisningen utifrån elevernas behov. I litteraturgenomgången tar jag upp fyra teorier om inlärning som används i skolan idag och därefter urgår jag från Howard Gardners teori om olika intelligenser. Jag tar även upp olika pedagogiska metoder och hur omgivningen påverkar inlärningen. Vidare går jag in på hur lärarrollen påverkas och jag behandlar också läromedel och andra hjälpmedel.
