The employment law in Sweden is very extensive compared to other countries. My aim with this essay is to compare the employment law for an employee with the employment protection for a CEO. The CEO is not protected by the employment Protection Act and therefore his terms of employment are completely up to the agreement he signs when he begins his employment. To do this I need to recite the main p
This study aims to investigate how people agree to precise and less precise arguments and if happy mood affects the agreement to precise and less precise arguments. Four hundred and forty three participants were recruited through Facebook and were randomly divided into the two conditions happy mood condition and neutral mood condition. Participants in both conditions read a scenario where an eyewi
Uppmärksamheten rörande flyktingfrågan tenderar att beröra människor på olika sätt. Det kan få dess effekter på gott och ont. Jag har valt att koncentrera mig på en mer påtvingad invandring som jag väljer att kalla det. Den påtvingade aspekten på det menar jag är människors flykt från dess hemländer, vilket får de att bli flyktingar av olika slag. Jag diskuterar där de olika grunder som kan bli akThe attention regarding the refugee issue tends to affect people in different directions. It has its effect in both a good and bad way. I have chosen to concentrate on what i call a forced migration. The forced aspect in this subject is those people fleeing from their respective homelands, which ends up resulting in that these people become refugees of different kind. I will discuss the bases whic
The European Spallation Source, ESS, is a joint collaboration of 17 European countries, where the world’s most powerful neutron source will be built for future research within a vast variety of fields. In order to deliver the highly energetic neutrons, protons are accelerated to energies in the GeV range and then collided with a spallation target. This acceleration process requires superconducting
The Arctic tundra has been considered as one of the most sensitive areas to global climate change. One impact of global warming is that permafrost thawing could result in more waterlogged and anaerobic conditions, and consequently an increasing release of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. These potential CH4 emissions can further amplify global warming. Therefore, it is important to assess the quan
Långvarig exponering av stress kan leda till fysiska och psykiska besvär såsom posttraumatiskt stressyndrom (PTSD). Ambulanspersonal utsätts för många stressorer i sin yrkesutövning. Studiens syfte är att belysa faktorer som skapar stress samt hur ambulanspersonal påverkas av densamma. Studien är en systematisk litteraturstudie där tretton vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades och sammanställdes. Re
Säbybäckens vattenkvalitet Säbybäcken är en liten bäck i den skånska kommunen Landskrona. Målet med anläggandet av Säbybäcken var från början enbart att dränera det omgivande landskapet, men bäcken har därefter även kommit att ha andra viktiga funktioner. Bäckens utgör exempelvis lekplats för havsöring och har också kommit att avvändas som rekreationsområde av omgivande samhälle. Säbybäcken bör iWater quality in the Säbybrook The Säbybrook is a small stream in Landskrona municipality, situated in a landscape dominated by agricultural practices. The stream serves as a spawning ground for sea trout and nature conservation aspects has hence grown in importance over the years. Improvements of the environment in the Säbybrook has thus become a matter of interest for Landskrona municipality, w
Vad är konturerna för det sociala arbetets fält? Så lyder problemformuleringen i denna studie. Syftet med arbetet är att utarbeta en alternativ modell för förståelse av socialt arbete utifrån Bourdieus fältbegrepp. Arbetet utgår från ett antal allmänna fältaspekter. Dessa allmänna drag operationaliseras genom att översättas till ett antal teman som kan knyta an till ett empiriskt material. Intervj
The Tam Giang-Cau Hai lagoon is located outside of Hue in central Vietnam. Southeast of Thuan An inlet, one of the two inlets of the lagoon, a groin was constructed in 2008 as a measure to reduce the sediment transport to prevent the inlet from closing. This groin has caused erosion of the eastern sand spit of the inlet and accretion of sediment on the coastline south east of the groin. The object
This Master Thesis was done in collaboration with Nederman AB in Helsingborg and the aim was to analyse and develop a suggestion for a new modernized Powerbox which is one of Nedermans products in the auto workshop segment. The Powerbox is a product for sourcing of compressed air, vacuum suction and electric power. Nederman is a strong brand and considered a market leader in many of its areas. The
Stimulation of innovation is a hot topic around the world. The developed economies are nowadays significantly dependent on innovation for further growth. One central source of innovation is universities and their ability to turn new knowledge into value-adding innovations. One of these technology transfer measures is through the creation of university spinoffs (USOs). High-tech startups, however,
When treating patients suffering from renal failure with hemodialysis, an obvious point of interest is the actual blood cleaning efficiency of the dialyzer (artificial kidney). This efficiency is called clearance or dialysance. The method currently used for estimating clearance is based on doing a step-change on the process. Due to the nature of the process, this method is slow and has a relativel
I Sverige överenskommes årligen tusentals uppdrag som kan hänföras till området för entreprenader. Entreprenaduppdrag kan vara alltifrån mindre åtaganden till omfattande arbeten med höga kontraktsbelopp. Eftersom dessa arbeten faller utanför KöpL tillämpningsområde uppkommer ett behov av reglering vilket görs inom ramen för den så kallade entreprenadrätten. Entreprenadrätten har i brist på lagreglYearly, thousands of transactions in Sweden can be related to construction of some kind. These constructions can be very various in scope, everything from small undertakings, to extensive long term assignments. Since general purchasing laws of Sweden are not applicable for constructions, there is a need for regulation concerning these assignments. Consequently, a standard agreement – ‘Allmänna Bes
Det övergripande syftet med uppsatsen var att skapa förståelse för vilka hinder och möjligheter gällande lärande som finns på en arbetsplats och i arbetslivet för personer med Aspergers syndrom. För att besvara det har jag studerat de teoretiska kopplingarna mellan Aspergers syndrom och lärande i arbetslivet samt analyserat och diskuterat hinder och möjligheter för dessa individers lärande i arbet
Despite indications that inequality can have a large impact on development, little research on the relationship between foreign aid and inequality exists. The majority of the studies on the subject also focus on overall aid figures, thereby leaving the question of whether the purpose of aid matters unexplored. This study uses panel data on 116 countries over the time period 1972-2011 to focus on w
