Popular Abstract in Swedish Många människor tillbringar en stor del av dygnet på en arbetsplats, vilket innebär att det är en plats och en tid inte bara för arbete utan också för sociala relationer samt för mat och dryck. Maten, vare sig det handlar om lunchen klockan tolv, eftermiddagsfikan klockan tre eller chokladbiten under nattskiftet, bidrar till att skapa pauser i arbetet. Arbetsplatsen kanMany people spend hours in a workplace every week and food and drink play a central role in providing nutrition and energy and help to create breaks during the working day. However, meals are something more than the food consumed. This dissertation focuses on the meal at work, where the meal is surrounded by special circumstances when it comes to time, place and social relations, as well as the fo

This book is the major output of a research project exploring the relationship between social partnership and trade union renewal in a comparative context by reporting on recent experiences of co-operative approaches to industrial relations in eight countries: the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Romania and the US. Case studies were compiled to draw out illustrative aspects f

Purpose: Resident microglial cells normally do not express sialoadhesin (a sialic acid binding receptor), whereas recruited inflammatory macrophages have been shown to do so. The expression of sialoadhesin was examined here in the course of photoreceptor cell degeneration and following transplantation. Methods: Sialoadhesin expression was analyzed in retinas of rd1 and rds mice. For transplantatio

Popular Abstract in English Every level of human existence is affected by forced migration. It affects the central aspects of our outer and inner life. However, scientific research focused on the inner life of forced migrants, in particular the one regarding the impacts of forced migration on the most significant values that we hold in life, is often marginalized in forced migration studies. In anUntil recently studies regarding the pathological aspects of refugee experiences have led the psychology field of forced migration, giving little space to positive factors like the resilience and well-being of individuals faced with these adversities. This doctoral thesis emphasizes good health rather than disease and aims at deepening the understanding of resilience and health as opposed to the d

The chapter focuses on marketing activities of start-up firms. While this is traditionally understood as analyzing the customer needs and how to bridge that gap, for example, through segmentation and branding activities, this chapter has focused on bridging the gaps between industrial actors in order to build networks. The rationale behind this focus relates to the fact that science- and technolog

Den ekonomiska brottsligheten har fått en allt mer markant roll i dagens rättssamhälle. Brottslighet som förövas inom bolag blir allt mer av ett samhällsproblem, inte minst när det gäller brottslighet i organiserad form. Av allt större vikt blir då hur man ställer de personer som begår brott inom ett bolag till ansvar för sina gärningar. Utifrån detta syfte har principen om företagaransvar tillkEconomic crime has played an increasingly significant role in our modern society. Crime perpetrated within companies are becoming more of a social problem, not least when it comes to organized crime. It has become of greater importance, how to hold the persons who commit crimes within a company accountable for their deeds. Based on this purpose, certain principles for criminal responsibility with

This thesis is a study on Swedish development cooperation policy, aiming to understand the approach to environmental- and climate change issues between 2010-2021. By using a theoretical framework focused on climate justice combined with the method of discourse analysis, the analysis is guided by four questions regarding: climate injustices, solutions, actors, and nature. These questions are p

Årligen avgörs tusentals tvister om vårdnad, boende och umgänge i Sveriges domstolar. Många tvister är konfliktfyllda och emellanåt förekommer uppgifter om att den ena föräldern, utan godtagbara skäl, motverkar eller omöjliggör umgänge mellan barnet och den andra föräldern. Detta agerande benämns vanligen för umgängessabotage. År 2021 trädde en ny ändring av 6 kap. 5 § FB i kraft som ämnade att stAnnually, thousands of disputes relating to custody, residence and access are settled in the courts of Sweden. Many disputes involve a high level of conflict between the parents and occasionally there are allegations that one parent, without acceptable reasons, limits or prevents contact between the child and the other parent. This behavior is commonly referred to as access sabotage. In 2021 a new

För att få lov att demonstrera krävs att anordnaren ansöker om tillstånd för allmän sammankomst i enlighet med ordningslagen (1993:1617) som Polismyndigheten sedan kan godkänna eller avslå. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda om det bör vara möjligt att vägra tillstånd till en allmän sammankomst och därigenom begränsa mötes- och demonstrationsfriheten med hänvisning till hot om terrorattentat mot SIn order to be allowed to protest, the organizer must apply for a permit for a public gathering in accordance with the Public Order Act (1993:1617), which the Police Authority then approves or rejects. The purpose of the paper is to investigate whether it should be possible to refuse a permit for a public gathering, thereby limiting the freedom of association and the right to demonstrate, with ref

The aim of this study was to investigate The Salvation Army's work with human trafficking for sexual purposes since it is a specialized organization in civil society that has a long history of working with this issue. Research shows that overall, the Swedish agencies neither have the competence, nor the knowledge, needed to meet the issue. We, as coming social workers wanted to investigate wha

Despite the long-established commitment to gender mainstreaming in global development, its transformative potential remains questionable in practice. This thesis explores how development practitioners tasked with gender mainstreaming responsibilities in Danish non-governmental organisations mediate between ideal and practice in their daily work. Through twelve semi-structured interviews, I bring t

This thesis examines the Norwegian state’s environmental injustice towards the South Saami through the development of Roan and Storheia wind farms on Fosen, in Trøndelag. By analysing all of the development stages, starting with the assessments in 2008 and ending with the Supreme Court judgement in 2021, the dialogue between the South Saami and the Norwegian state is scrutinised. By building on th

With the growing concern about the environment, consumers become more critical in their consumption and almost every organization communicates its sustainability efforts. However, not in every case do consumers believe in sustainability claims. This exploratory case study with the global skincare brand NIVEA examines the brand’s sustainability communication from a consumer perspective. It aims to

It is in political scientific theory commonly understood that the politics of microstates are defined by a lack of ideological plurality and strong public consensuses. This study aims to investigate whether such characteristics may contribute to the emergence of party systems that hinder the full democratization of countries. The study has been conducted as a multiple-case study including the prin

Den här uppsatsen undersöker arbetsgivarens rehabiliteringsansvar och hur långt det sträcker sig. Ur arbetsgivarens perspektiv kan rehabiliteringsarbetet delas upp i tre distinkta delar med olika regleringar. Den första delen är undersökningsfasen där det viktiga är om arbetstagaren är sjuk och om arbetstagarens bristande prestation beror på sjukdomen, eftersom det endast är då rehabiliteringsansv

Hemliga tvångsmedel innefattar bland annat hemlig avlyssning och hemlig övervakning av elektronisk kommunikation, hemlig kameraövervakning, hemlig rumsavlyssning samt hemlig dataavläsning. Tvångsmedlen regleras främst i rättegångsbalken och används av brottsbekämpande myndigheter för att underlätta deras utredningsarbete.

This essay aims to investigate Lund Municipality’s objectives, obstacles and strategies for sustainable mobility. Furthermore, obstacles against reduced and private car usage will be analyzed, as well as the parking standards change and its applications. This is done through a case study of Lund Municipality in Scania, Sweden, in the areas of Brunnshög and Södra Råbylund. The case study involves a

I den första svenska jämställdhetslagen från 1979 skyddades bara diskrimineringsgrunden kön. Redan då insåg lagstiftaren att det behövdes en bevislättnad eftersom diskriminering bygger på att man vet orsaken till att arbetsgivaren har handlat på ett visst sätt. Jämställdhetslagens bevisbörderegel skapades som en presumtionsregel. En presumtionsregel innebär att arbetstagaren ska bevisa vissa omstäIn the first equality act of Sweden from 1979, the scope of the discrimination protections afforded under the act were limited by the gender of a given party. Already at that time, the legislator saw a need for a relaxation of the burden of proof as previously, discrimination matters turned on the requirement that the claimant be cognizant of why the defendant had acted in a certain manner. The r

Human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells (HAMLET) is a complex formed by human alpha-lactalbumin and oleic acid that displays tumoricidal activity but does not kill healthy, differentiated cells. As the sequence of alpha-lactalbumin is conserved among mammals, lactalbumins from other species are expected to form oleic acid complexes with similar activity. This study investigated the tumo
