Det är viktigt att det i ett land finns rättssäkerhetsgarantier. För svensk del är Europeiska konventionen angående skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna en väldigt viktig utgångspunkt. I min framställning har jag studerat vilka krav konventionen ställer på rätten till en domstolsprövning och en rättssäker process, art 6 i Europakonventionen. Med dessa krav i bakhuvuLegal certainty is important in every country. For the Swedish part the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms is a very important starting point and framework. In my presentation, I have studied the requirements that the Convention imposes on the access to court and the entitlement to a fair and public hearing, art 6 of the Convention. With these requirements in mind, I look

In this text the idea that a higher order thought theory is a fruitful theory is brought to question. This is done by proposing a simple question, by the form “Can we know if my computer is conscious?”. The main point of this text will be that HoT fails to answer the question in a satisfying way. This is because we can see from the distinction between creature conscious theories and state consciou

Genom vår studie har vi kommit fram till att en individs identitetsprocess kommer att påverka hur de ställer sig till kompetensdelning. Synen på kompetensdelning kommer även att påverkas av de sociala utbytesregler som finns i organisationen. Vi har sett att synen både främjas och motverkas av dessa två faktorer och hävdar att företag bör ta dem i beaktande då de utformar strategier för hur kompetThrough our study we found that the identity process will have an impact on the view on competence sharing. We also found that the view on competence sharing will be affected by the social exchange rules in the organization. The view on competence sharing were both encouraged and discouraged by these two factors, thus we argue that companies should take them into account when designing strategies
