Ever since the Swedish government incorporated the Convention on the Right of the Child (CRC) into Swedish law January first 2020, changes in how the Swedish lawmen apply the law differently to different situations have been observed. This following essay will furthermore examine how lawmen apply the CRC in regard to foreclosure of housing where children live, and if the convention has somehow cha
Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore what may facilitate or inhibit a stronger corporate brand orientation in a retail organization. We explore the factors of internal corporate brand identity elements, internal corporate brand image and internal branding, while also considering retail-specific characteristics. To do so, we investigate the internal perspective of the corporate
IT-medarbetare är idag väldigt heta på arbetsmarknaden där arbetsgivare tävlar om att få in rätt profiler. Många unga utbildar sig idag inom IT och när de tar sitt första jobb vet de hur eftertraktade de är på marknaden, vilket gör att de nyexaminerade IT-medarbetarna kan ställa ganska höga krav på sina arbetsgivare. Det räcker alltså inte bara med att vinna rekryteringstävlingen, som arbetsgivare
Under 2000-talet har det skett många olika manifestationer i de nordiskaländerna, som ofta utmanat samhällets syn på vad som utgör en godtagbar demonstration och huruvida tydliga gränser bör sättas i medborgarnas yttrandefrihet. Ett exempel på detta har varit Rasmus Paludans manifestationer i Sverige och Danmark där han har tänt eld på Koranen, vilka i många fall har urartat. Under påsken 2022 eskIn the 2000s there have been many different demonstrations in the Nordic countries, often challenging society's view of what constitutes an acceptable demonstration and whether clear limits should be placed on citizens' freedom of expression. An example of this has been Rasmus Paludan's demonstrations in Sweden and Denmark where he has set fire to the Koran, which in many cases have de
Background: Organizations implement agile methodologies with the aim to increase their ability to respond quickly and adapt to changing environments. Agile transformations include changes in the organizational structure, processes, and roles. Most agile frameworks and approaches introduce new leadership roles, such as the scrum master and product owner; however, the project manager role is not
Soil moisture (SM) plays an important role in the exchange of heat and water between the surface and atmosphere, impacting water and energy cycles and the climate. Satellite remote sensing offers a global-scale estimation of SM; however, the coarse resolutions of satellite SM products, typically ranging from 25-50 km, are unsuitable for regional analysis. To overcome this limitation, various spati
The aim of this research is to investigate how employees of a Higher Education Institution in Sweden make sense of the concept of diversity.
Den moderna arbetsplatsen är i konstant förändring, varav nya krav ideligen ställs på såväl individen som organisationen. Behovet av engagerade medarbetare med förmågan att utveckla och leda sig själva anses vara en förutsättning för framgång, samtidigt som sociala relationer blivit allt viktigare på arbetsplatsen. Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka sambanden mellan självledarskap, socialt stöToday’s modern workplace is one of constant change, which continuously places new demands on both individuals and organizations. The need for engaged employees with the ability to develop and lead themselves is a prerequisite for success, all the while social relationships have become increasingly more important in the workplace. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the relationship betwee
The construction sector is responsible for high energy consumption and large emissions of carbon dioxide, which is strongly linked to building materials. Within the European Union, the construction sector generates more than a third of all waste and circular economy is considered as a suitable approach to tackle these challenges. Furthermore, the need for renewable energy sources has increased, wi
Att Östersjöns tillstånd är ur balans har sedan länge varit ett faktum. Hanöbukten, ett havsområde som sträcker sig förbi Listerlandet i norr till Simrishamn i söder, har varit föremål för diskussioner om och observationer av minskat bestånd av kustnära fisk, ökad frekvens på sårskador på fisk och att vattnet emellanåt varit illaluktande och brunaktig. Undersökningar av miljöföroreningar har utför
Vital societal functions are as the name suggests critical for the continued function of society. One of these functions is hospitals. The purpose of this paper is to investigate continuity management within hospitals. Regulations and laws regarding the Swedish health system will be presented along with an overview of how hospital continuity management works today. A topic that will be discussed i
What factors contributed to the success of the Marshall Plan, and how did it impact postwar economic recovery and long-term development of Europe’s former Western bloc nations? What lessons can be learned from the Marshall Plan, and how can these lessons be applied to contemporary aid programmes for war-torn nations, such as Ukraine? Using a qualitative approach, analysing published research, the
The GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft) play an important role in our daily lives as they are always collecting intangible assets, data, and are competing for consumers attention. These platforms arose, grew faster than their competitors and strengthened their position to a point where they clearly dominate the market, occupying almost monopolistic positions. Their power and s
In the production of their High Voltage Direct Current Cables (HVDC) and High Voltage Alternating Current Cables (HVAC), NKT uses triple extruders to create layers of insulation and semi-conduction. A model to predict the effect of extruder inputs on the cable’s insulation and semi-conducting layers has been created and trained to predict the extruder in discrete time. The project developed a deep
We apply the GARCH-copula method to estimate Value at Risk (VaR) for European and Stockholm stock indices. First, marginal distributions are estimated by the ARMA-GARCH model with normal, Student-t, and skewed t distributions. Then we investigate the tails of innovations of ARMA-GARCH models using the Peaks over thresholds method and find that the distributions of stock returns are asymmetric
In May 2023, the EU adopted a crucial part of their updated climate policy, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). This thesis poses questions about how this novel legislation affects the EUs South-Eastern neighbours, the Western Balkans (WB). The relevance for applied climate change strategies lies in the policy-oriented approach to a new type of international climate policy. Previous res
Sweden has been struggling with bad access to healthcare. The National Healthcare Guarantee is not fulfilled, and Sweden has low productivity numbers. One suggested solution to deal with this issue is increased healthcare production control. Healthcare production control (HCPC) is the activity to actively trying to match healthcare needs with capacity. Public authorities are advocating increased h
This research focuses on the determinants of participation in informal trade and firms for women in West Africa using the example of the Nana Benz in Togo as a case study. Women have been involved in informal trade for centuries, yet their role tends to be overlooked due to gender inequalities. Through a probabilistic approach and using data from Nigeria and Togo, I analyse the main characteristic
Uppsatsen gör avstamp i att utreda konkurrensrättens syften, hur vertikala prisbindningar regleras och vad konsekvenserna av att tillämpa en vertikal prisbindning innebär. För en samtidsrelevant förankring skapas en kartläggande rättsdogmatisk situation utifrån en av Sveriges största dagligvaruföretags prissänkningskampanjer. I förhållande till deras höga marknadsandelar skulle en slagkraftigare pThe thesis begins by investigating the purposes behind competition law, how vertical price restraints are regulated, and the consequences of applying a vertical price restraint. For a contemporary contextualization, a mapping of the legal dogmatic situation is created based on one of Sweden's largest grocery retailers' price reduction campaigns. Considering their high market shares a more
