Reikihealing med sitt ursprung från Japan och holistiska synsätt erbjuder andra förklaringsmodeller och svar på frågor än den traditionella biomedicinen. Det innefattar även att gå till botten med varför olika symtom uppstår. Min studie undersöker upplevelsen av att känna sig botad till skillnad från biomedicinens botande av sjukdom eller kroppslig åkomma, med hjälp av begrepp som illness och dise

Google-ägda YouTube är idag en av världen största sociala plattformar där användare möts genom att skapa och konsumera innehåll. I mars 2017 utbröt en annonsbojkott på YouTube som utlöstes på grund av att annonsering från multinationella företag förekom i samband med videor som var centrerade kring terrorism och extremism.

De irreguljära migrantarbetarna är en utsatt grupp på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Med irreguljära migrantarbetare menas de som arbetar i Sverige utan giltiga tillstånd. Arbetsgivare tenderar att exploatera dessa människor och de arbetar därför ofta under mycket dåliga arbetsförhållanden samt erhåller ett sämre arbetsrättsligt skydd. Att utnyttja en redan så prekär grupp är oetiskt och det finns eIrregular migrant workers are those who work in Sweden without valid permission and they are a vulnerable group in the Swedish labour market. Employers tend to exploit these people and therefore they often work under very bad working conditions and receive worse protection of employment rights. Making use of an already precarious group is unethical and there is a need to highlight the subject. Thi

An efficient method for selective alpha-alkylation of ketones with alcohols was developed using 2-hydroxypyridine-based ligands coordinated by palladium as pre-catalysts. The reactions were performed without additional additives under mild reaction conditions. The method is environmentally friendly to build C-C bond as water is the only byproduct. This tandem reaction proceeds via dehydrogenation

This thesis discusses the jurisdictional test used in the European Merger Regulation no. 139/2004 which is a threshold test. This threshold test is based on the turnover of the merging parties and the geographical location of said turnover.

Om en arbetstagares alkoholbruk går ut över arbetsprestationen så ligger det i arbetsgivarens intresse att åtgärda det, antingen genom att se till att arbetstagarens arbetsprestation blir bättre igen eller genom att avbryta anställningen. I svensk arbetsrättslagstiftning är det dock viktigt att särskilja på om en arbetstagare isåfall lider av en alkoholsjukdom eller inte. Om det inte föreligger enWhen an employee’s alcohol habits affect their work, then it is in the employers interest to resolve the problem, either by helping the employee get better or by ending the employment. In swedish labour law, it is however important to distinguish cases between where an employee just abuses alcohol, and cases where an employee is suffering from an alcohol-related disease. If the employee isn’t sick

I den här uppsatsen ämnar jag undersöka hur kollektivavtal tillämpas vid verksamhetsövergångar. Hur denna tillämpning görs är till stor del baserad på vem av överlåtaren och förvärvaren som har kollektivavtal och, om båda har kollektivavtal, huruvida man är bundna av samma eller olika kollektivavtal. Som presenteras nedan finns en skillnad i hur man närmar sig problematiken mellan EU-rätten och svIn this essay, I intend to investigate how collective agreements are applied during business transitions. How this application is made is largely based on who, of the transferor and the acquirer, have collective agreements and, if both have collective agreements, whether they are bound by the same collective agreement or different ones. As presented below, there is a difference in how to approach

Descriptions of this language have been published since the 1930s but non-modal phonation has not received the
