Sveriges föräldraledighetspolitik har ständigt utvecklats sedan 1974 när föräldraförsäkringen infördes. Frågan är aktuell eftersom den spelar en betydande roll i arbetet mot en jämställd arbetsmarknad. Kvinnor missgynnas av en icke jämställd föräldraledighet genom att kvinnor tar ut majoriteten av föräldraledigheten. Samtidigt som kvinnor går miste om arbetsmöjligheter på grund av arbetsgivarens f

This thesis aims at investigating the interaction between thermal gradients and acoustic fields in microfluidic devices. In the research branch of Acoustofluidics, which bridges together acoustics and fluid dynamics, inhomogeneity in the medium has gained great interest due to the novel physics behind and the potential in manipulating submicrometer particles. Concentration gradients of solute mole
Flyktingkrisen i Europa år 2015 skälvde till Sverige. Den dåvarande rödgröna regeringen vände snabbt från sin generösa flyktingpolitik till att bli restriktiv, med hänvisning åt att myndigheter och samhällsfunktioner var under högt tryck och behövde ”ett andrum”. Detta skedde första gången under en presskonferens den 24 november. Uppsatsen använder teorin om säkerhetisering och med en diskursiv me
Förenligheten mellan ISDS-mekanismen i Artikel 26 i Energistadgefördraget (ECT) och EU rätt har länge varit föremål för diskussion inom EU. Denna diskussion har de senaste åren fått all mer uppmärksamhet, sedan EUdomstolen i mål C-284/16 Achmea dömde att ISDS-mekanismen i det bilaterala investeringsavtalet (BIT) mellan Nederländerna och Slovakien var oförenligt med EU rätten. Enligt kritikerna gårThe compatibility of the investor-State dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism in Article 26 of the Energy Chart Treaty (ECT) with EU law has been a topic of intense discussion within the EU for a number of years. This discussion has gained traction in the light of the CJEU’s judgement in Case C-284/16 Achmea, where the Court declared that ISDS mechanism in the Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) betwe
