I Sverige uppskattas den offentliga upphandlingen omsätta omkring 500 miljoner kronor per år. Dessa stora ekonomiska värden ger det offentliga makt att påverka privata aktörer och gör att upphandling kan bli ett viktigt politiskt styrmedel. I vilken utsträckning socialpolitiska målsättningar ska kunna främjas genom offentlig upphandling har dock varit föremål för diskussion. I den här uppsatsen haIn Sweden, public procurement annually accounts for approximately SEK 500 million. With these large economic values, the public has the power to influence private actors. In this way, procurement can be an important policy tool. To what extent public procurement can be used to promote social objectives has been subject to discussion. In this essay, I have chosen to investigate the scope provided f

This study aims to shed light on the retention management of Millennials in relation to the importance of 360-degree feedback. Focusing on the Millennial Generation, the following two research questions

This thesis analyses the deferred payment method of Art. 5 para. 2 ATAD. It asks whether or not it is proportionate to mitigate liquidity disadvantages stemming from exit taxes. Such disadvantages are a general pattern of the Court of Justices case law on exit taxation. The analysis is therefore based on that respective case law. The thesis examines the roots of the deferred payment method, elabor

The purpose of this study is to examine foster parents’ experiences of how emergency placements in foster care work and affect children. Furthermore, the study aims to shed light on how the foster care parents perceive the separation from the child’s family of origin and how the contact with the children’s biological parents has been. To fulfill the purpose of the study several qualitative and sem

Bakgrund: Myalgisk encefalomyelit/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) är en kronisk sjukdom som ofta debuterar i samband med kraftiga virusinfektioner. ME/CFS kan förändra individens förmåga att utföra aktiviteter i vardagen och möjligheter att upprätthålla vanor och rutiner, dock saknas det kunskap om personernas egna upplevelser. Syfte: Syftet med intervjustudien är att undersöka hur vuxna persone

Syftet med den här studien är att presentera en analys av Sigurd von Kochs närmast okända tonsättning av dikten Stjärnöga, för att utifrån denna analys utarbeta ett förslag på en didaktisk analysmetod för den klassiska sånggenren, med inriktning mot den individuella sångundervisningen på gymnasiet. Studien utgår från musikforskaren och pedagogen Bo Wallners analysmetoder, vilka också är utgångspun

The current thesis critically investigates whether training and using third-party data in artificial neural networks (ANNs) could constitute a liability for copyright infringement. Furthermore, the present paper sets out to explore whether training and using ANNs could fall within the IP right holders' exclusive rights. In this regard, this thesis will mainly focus on the reproduction parts as

I föreliggande socialpsykologiska studie har vi undersökt vad som belyses som central delar av “svenskhet” i introduktionsmaterial till personer som är nya i Sverige, utifrån ett socialkonstruktionistiskt förhållningssätt med kritisk diskursanalys som verktyg. Utifrån från denna forskningsansats betraktades kunskap och förgivettagna antaganden om världen som kulturellt och socialt betingade konstrIn this social psychology study, we have examined the central parts of "swedishness" as they are presented in introductory material to people who are new in Sweden, based on a social constructionist approach with critical discourse analysis as tools. Knowledge and precomposed assumptions about the world were regarded as cultural and social constructions, where language is one of the most

The diverse application of unmanned aerial vehicles has rapidly progressed during the last decade and is currently being implemented for medical deliveries in multiple developing countries. Thus far, medical drone delivery systems have successfully been established on a national scale in Ghana and Rwanda by the American company Zipline, currently playing a leading role within the field. The conduc

Metabolic modelling coupled with flux-balance analysis (FBA) has become a popular tool in systems biology for quantitative predictions of metabolic processes in silico, and as an aid in metabolic engineering. Drawing upon gene-protein-reaction associations deducible from information on the genome-level, so-called genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) are unequalled in their scope as they attempt to

Due to a warming climate, tundra ecosystems are subject to shrub and treeline expansions which could lead to increased above- but decreased belowground carbon (C) stocks. An observed low soil C stock in some subarctic forests and tall shrublands has been suggested to be induced by priming of organic matter decomposition, possibly mediated by ectomycorrhizal fungi. On the other hand, the higher bel
