Efter en arbetsdag, arbetsvecka, några tuffa månader eller bara efter några ansträngande timmar kan man känna sig i behov av en paus. Orsaken kan vara stress eller mental utmattning, något som har blivit allt mer aktuella frågor i samhället idag. Vi lever i en tillvaro där allting ska gå allt snabbare, där prestationerna och effektiviteten ökar och ’multitasking’ är ett vanligt begrepp. Sömnen eAfter a couple of demanding days, weeks, or just after a few hours one can feel the need for a break. Stress or mental fatigue may be the underlying cause. Issues related to mental health are increasing in today’s society, a society where high performance, efficiency, multitasking and to-do-lists are common phrases. Sleep offers us some recovery, but neither sleep nor the rarely occurring vacati

Abstract The object which this paper will investigate is the icon theology of the former Swedish bishop in Linköping diocese Martin Lönnebo (bishop between the years 1980-1995). I will do this by first analyzing his icon theology as described in his books considering icons (see c. 1.5 Material och avgränsningar). After this analysis i will compare Lönnebo’s icon theology with two other priests in

The United States has for decades conceived of itself as a world leader and maintained an outward-facing, active foreign policy as a result. However, under President Trump, the conception of the U.S. as the arbiter of world affairs has experienced a reversal and the U.S. is returning to an isolationist mindset. Emblematic of this reversal is the changing U.S. stance toward the Trans-Pacific Partne

Children that are born later in the year are, based on previous studies, more likely to be diagnosed with a neuropsychiatric disorder (hereby NPD), which is a bit surprising considering that NPDs are considered to be primarily genetic disorders. The aim of our study is to test the hypothesis that there is a correlation between being born later in the year and an increased prevalence of referrals f

I en värld där inget tycks kunna stoppa de växande ekonomiska klyfterna ifrågasätts även relevansen av internationella regleringar av mänskliga rättigheter. Trots att jämlikhet och icke-diskriminering utgör grunden för mänskliga rättigheter så verkar dessa regelverk oförmögna att adressera ekonomiskt betonad ojämlikhet. Gör diskrimineringsförbud och garantier om jämlikhet egentligen någon skillnadIn a world where the growth of economic inequalities does not seem to slow down the relevance of International Human Rights Law (IHRL) is questioned. Equality and non-discrimination are core principles of IHRL, but what do they have to offer people living in poverty? In spite of the centrality of equality and non-discrimination to IHRL the meaning of these concepts is contested. The question ”eq

Lojalitet är en viktig beståndsdel i alla komplexare IT-outsourcingprojekt. I ett outsourcingförhållande där parterna inte agerar lojalt mot varandra kan relationen dem emellan störas vilket i sin tur kan leda till stora kostnader. Vested är en amerikansk modell för bl.a. komplexare outsourcingförfaranden i vilken lojaliteten mellan parterna särskilt betonas. Vested-modellen är ännu relativt oanväLoyalty is an important feature in a complex IT-outsourcing, without it the relationship will deteriorate eventually resulting in economic loss for both parties. Vested is an American loyalty centered cooperation model designed to be applied on complex outsourcing procedures. Vested is still relatively unknown in Sweden today, but the model can be predicted to surge in popularity in the future. T

Folkrätten saknar, som allmänt känt, den typen av starka mekanismer för att se till att lagen efterlevs som existerar i den inhemska rätten. Många rättsvetare och andra forskare har försökt förklara hur det är möjligt för folkrätten att ändå påverka staters beteende. Jag undersöker en sådan teori och försöker formulera hypoteser för hur stater kan förväntas agera vid och efter regimskiften avseendInternational law is well known to lack enforcement mechanisms similar in effectiveness to those that exist on the domestic level. Many scholars have tried to explain how international law can still constrain state behavior. I look at one such theory, and attempt to formulate hypotheses for how states should be expected to behave around and after regime changes with respect to their human rights o

Digitalisering är utan tvekan 2000-talets viktigaste bidragande orsak till utvecklingen av den globala ekonomin. Skatteplanering och skatteflykt bland multinationella bolag urholkar nationers skattebas som finansierar det offentliga välfärdssystemet såsom sjukvård, utbildningsinstitutioner och infrastruktur. Digitala affärsmodeller genererar intäkter annorlunda än traditionella affärsmodeller ocDuring the 21th century, digitalization is considered the most important development of the modern global economy. Tax avoidance is a growing issue for governments globally, that are loosing lots of tax money to finance public welfare systems supporting healthcare, educational institutions and infrastructures.

Ideellt skadestånd har i svensk rätt traditionellt sett krävt ett uttryckligt lagstöd för att utgå. Denna tradition frångicks första gången genom NJA 2005 s. 462. Rättsfallet gällde en av staten begången överträdelse av en rättighet i EKMR. Artikel 13 i EKMR kräver av konventionsstaterna att de tillhandahåller ett effektivt rättsmedel vid kränkningar av konventionen. I händelse av att ideellt skadThe tradition in Swedish tort law has been that non-pecuniary damages need explicit legal support to be admitted. A deviation from this tradition was first made by the Supreme Court in the case NJA 2005 s. 462. The ruling imposed the state liability for non-pecuniary damages for its violation of a human right laid down in the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (

Many models have been developed throughout the years to describe the evolution of short term rates. One of the famous models is the Vasicek model. It was first introduced in 1977 and describes interest rates as a mean reversion process which is a specific characteristic that sets it apart from other financial assets. This model has the ability to let interest rates to be negative which was perceiv
