Under de senaste åren har möjligheten till att arbeta hemifrån och på distans i Sverige ökat i stor omfattning, speciellt med tanke på COVID-19 pandemin. Arbetssättet som det flexibla arbetslivet medför, har inneburit att fler arbeten kan utföras utan tidsmässiga, rumsliga eller organisatoriska gränser.

Varje svenskt hushåll slänger 500 kg avfall per år vilket genererar ett utsläpp på 0,9 miljoner ton koldioxidekvivalenter, därav är det av största vikt att återvinningscentraler är tillgängliga och attraktiva för befolkningen att besöka. En kvantitativ studie har därför genomförts i syfte att, dels undersöka hur besökare upplever de befintliga svenska återvinningscentralerna, dels för att se vilka

Forskning visar att hbtqi-personer har en sämre psykisk hälsa än övriga befolkningen. Arbetsplatsen är en kontext där hbtqi-personer ofta utsätts för diskriminering och upplever minoritetsstress. Samtidigt kan arbetsplatsen utgöra en viktig del av människors liv och ha en skyddande effekt mot psykisk ohälsa. Främjande av en god arbetsmiljö kan därför vara en viktig faktor för hbtqi-personers hälsaResearch shows that people within the LGBTQI-community have poorer mental health compared to the general population. The workplace is an area where LGBTQI-people are at risk of being exposed to discrimination and minority stress. The workplace can, however, also be seen as an integral part of people’s lives and act as a protective factor against mental health issues. The promotion of a healthy wor
