Konkurrensen på den globala marknaden blir allt hårdare för internationella företag där utlandsplacerade medarbetare, så kallade expatriater anses vara ett viktigt verktyg för att erhålla konkurrensfördelar. Flera forskare har studerat olika delar av utlandsuppdrag där såväl förberedande träning innan uppdraget som anpassning på plats i värdlandet har framhävts. Dock saknas forskning där ett kompaThe competition on the global market is becoming increasingly tough for international companies where workers located abroad, so called expatriates are thought of as an important tool in obtaining competition advantages. Several scientists have studied different parts of a mission abroad for expatriates where pre-departure training as well as adjustment to the host country has been accentuated. Ho

Detta examensarbete ger ett förslag på en ny järnvägsstation i Kirunas nya centrum. I Kiruna pågår just nu en stadsomvandling, där en tredjedel av staden flyttas tre kilometer österut på grund av markdeformationer från Kirunagruvan. Detta innebär stora förändringar för Kirunaborna men även stora förändringar i stadsbilden, då majoriteten av centrum har eller kommer rivas och byggas upp igen i nya This thesis gives a suggestion for a new railway station in the new city center of Kiruna, Sweden. Kiruna is now experiencing an urban transformation, where one third of the population and the city moves three kilometers to the east due to ground deformations coming from the Kiruna iron ore mine. This leads to huge changes for Kiruna’s population, but also huge changes in the cityscape, since most

Offentlig-privat samverkan (OPS) är en ett långvarigt avtal mellan en offentlig beställare och en privat leverantör. Genom avtalet tar den privata parten ett ansvar för projektering, finansiering, byggnation, underhåll och drift av en infrastruktur. I utbyte mot att infrastrukturen byggs och drivs på den privata partens bekostnad betalar den offentliga beställaren en löpande avgift. Ersättningen äPublic private partnership (PPP) is a long-term agreement between a public authority and a private party. According to the agreement, the private party takes the responsibility for the design, financing, construction, maintenance, and operation of an infrastructure. In exchange for building and operating the infrastructure at the expense of the private party, the public authority pays an ongoing c

The benefits of economic growth (e.g. capital accumulation) are mainly being enjoyed by people in the Global North, while its negative byproducts (e.g. pollution) are mainly being endured by people in the Global South. Our focus on economic growth has led to the erosion of social wellbeing. And continuing economic growth on this planet with finite natural resources could have even more severe cons

Denna uppsats försöker att klargöra huruvida det, sedan 2007 års Lavaldom, har skett en utveckling inom EU-rätten som tillåter att stridsåtgärder används i ett ökat antal fall, och huruvida den senaste ändringen av den svenska utstationeringslagen är i samklang med nuvarande EU-rätt. Uppsatsen fokuserar på EU-rätt och svensk rätt, och folkrätten är därför utelämnad. Utstationeringsdirektivet, utfäThis thesis tries to elucidate whether, since the Laval judgment of 2007, there has been a development in EU law allowing for collective action to be used in a greater amount of cases, and whether the latest amendment to the Swedish Posting of Workers Act is in accordance with the current EU law. The thesis focusses on EU law and Swedish law, and international law is thus omitted from its scope. T

“There is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women,” Kofi Annan (UN News Center, 2005).

Context Since the time of Tycho Brahe astronomy has been an observing science defined by the quality of its instrumentation. The introduction of primitive telescopes by Galileo in 1609 began a period of development of ever-larger telescopes with greater measuring precision. Refracting telescopes were soon overtaken technologically by reflecting telescopes. The epitome of this development is the bu

There are about eight thousand and five hundred of level crossings in Sweden according to Swedish Transport Administration (STA). Approximately four thousand and six hundreds of railroad crossings are arranged without any type of protection. Most of the accidents occurs when there are none protection or the amount of traffic is very low. Types of protections that are usually used in most of the le

The water level-area-storage volume (Z-A-V) relationship serves as the cornerstone of reservoir operations, governing water allocation, flood mitigation, and power generation. Sedimentation-induced capacity alterations can progressively degrade Z-A-V accuracy, yet systematic curve updates remain inadequately implemented across developing nations. Traditional reconstruction approaches face inherent

En dom från EU-domstolen meddelad 2010 och Skatteverkets efterföljande tolkning av denna dom har inneburit att mervärdesskattesatsen för framställning av tryckta produkter i vissa fall har sänkts från 25 procent till 6 procent med rättsverkan bakåt i tiden. Rättsläget har givit upphov till ett stort antal omprövningar. Tryckerier har begärt återbetalning från Skatteverket av för högt redovisad utgIn 2010 the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a preliminary ruling on the classification on reprographics activities saying that such activities have the characteristics of a ‘supply of goods’ to the extent they are limited to mere reproduction of documents. In Sweden such activities had, until this point in time, generally been classified as ‘supply of services’ and thus subjec

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om utreseförbudet i 31 a § Lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU) uppfyller sin skyddsfunktion. Undersökningen görs främst med stöd i förarbeten, rapporter om ämnet från Jämställdhetsmyndigheten och med avgöranden från olika förvaltnings- och kammarrätter utifrån en rättsdogmatisk och kritisk rättsdogmatisk metod. Uppsatsen redogör för denThe thesis examines if the travel ban found in section 31 a of The Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (1990:52) (LVU in Swedish) fulfils its protective function. The thesis relies mainly on legislative history, reports from the Swedish Gender Equality Agency and decisions made by administrative courts and administrative courts of appeal.

This thesis explores the anti-media populist discourse of the current Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, with which he harshly targets Slovak mainstream media to delegitimize them and their critical reporting. This practice, which Fico has been engaging in for many years, was originally considered problematic mainly due to its potentially detrimental consequences for trust in the media among many

In Tanzania, there has been a notable increase in the importation and sale of secondhand clothing, popularly referred to as Mitumba, with a significant focus on low-income populations. This growth has been driven by the affordability and accessibility of these garments, which have become a staple in the wardrobes of many Tanzanians. However, with all of this growth, there are now urgent concerns a

Denna uppsats behandlar hur begreppet livsmedel ska förstås i mervärdesskatterättslig mening. Frågan har blivit relevant på grund av den tillfälliga sänkningen av mervärdesskatten på livsmedel från 12 procent till 6 procent, som gäller från och med den 1 april 2026 till och med den 31 december 2027. Eftersom den reducerade skattesatsen endast omfattar sådana produkter som rättsligt kan klassificerThis thesis examines how the concept of food should be understood in the context of value added tax law. The issue has become relevant due to the temporary reduction of VAT on food from 12 percent to 6 percent, which applies from 1 April 2026 until 31 December 2027. Since the reduced tax rate only applies to products that can legally be classified as food, the scope of the concept gains both pract

This research addresses the critical need for more accurate and proactive methods in the fields of traffic safety, transport system operational performance, and level of service as

Studies of tree species effects on soils have revealed a significant impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and the carbon (C) distribution between forest floor and mineral soil, but the underlying mechanisms including the roles of litter traits, soil properties, and microbiome remain unclear. To address this challenge, we tested the effect of six common European tree species on the quality an
