Sammanfattning Religionsfrihet är en grundläggande mänsklig rättighet och har ett vidsträckt skydd i såväl nationell som internationell rätt. Rätten att utöva och ge uttryck för sin religion kan dock begränsas. I situationer då religion kolliderar med arbete kan intressemotsättningar mellan olika aktörer uppstå. Vid en bedömning i en sådan intressemotsättning kan det vara svårt att avgöra gränsernAbstract Freedom of religion is a fundamental human right and has extensive protection in both national and international law. The right for an individual to express and exercise religion is however limited. In situations where religion collides with labour and working life contradictions between different actors can arise. When assessing such contradictions, it may be difficult to determine the b
This study focus on the six largest minable cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, Monero and DASH, and puts forward determinants that explain large parts of the price value formation in the markets.

The most extreme subgenre of metal, black metal, is famous for its anti-Christian and Satanic aesthetics. Violent incidents connected to the formation of the Norwegian black metal scene in the early 1990s, such as Church-burnings, murders, and arsons, would make the genre notorious and solidify the perception that its fans and musicians reject religion. However, since black metal is born out of a
Tidigare forskning beskriver såväl dåliga arbetsvillkor som en otydlighet kring vad arbetet som personlig assistent innebär. Denna studie syftade till att undersöka hur personliga assistenter själva upplever sin psykosociala arbetsmiljö. Studien byggde på en enkät som undersökte hur personliga assistenters skattade sin upplevelse av obalans mellan ansträngning och belöning, samt deras arbetsengagePrevious research has described poor working conditions as well as ambiguity regarding job tasks for personal assistants.

This essay is concerned with whether the progressive aspect is overgeneralized by children, using it with stative verbs. The study targets the age interval 1 to 10 years and adults. The matter was investigated in several child corpora and adult corpora. The interval 1 to 5 years was covered by the Brown (1973b) corpus with Eve, Adam and Sarah. Data for the interval 6 to 10 years were obtained from
Intresset för probiotika har vuxit de senaste åren. Förutom att vara ha en förebyggande effekt och vara en effektiv behandling mot akut diarré, finns det forskning som indikerar att probiotika kanske kan användas för att förebygga andra sjukdomar, t.ex. tjocktarmscancer. Utmaningen med probiotika är att för att den ska ha någon effekt, krävs det att tillräckligt många levande bakterier når tjocktaThe interest in probiotics has grown in the last few years. In addition to being effective in treating and preventing acute diarrhea, there are indications that it might be possible to use probiotics to prevent other diseases such as colon cancer. The challenge with probiotics is that for it to have any effect, enough viable bacteria must reach the colon. To deliver live probiotics to the colon, i
Håravfall vid cytostatikabehandling kan vara traumatiskt, både på grund av att det är kopplat till den cancersjuka kvinnas identitet, men även för att det oftast inte stämmer överens med normerna kring en kvinnas utseende. Det finns mycket forskning kring upplevelsen av att tappa sitt hår under cytostatikabehandling, men bara ett begränsat antal studier om hur kvinnor bemästrar håravfallet. Syftet
The aim of this study is to investigate how undocumented migrants in Sweden describe their situation and which strategies they develop to handle their situation. The method being used has a qualitative approach and the material was collected through semi structured interviews with five individuals who live or have lived previously as undocumented migrants in Sweden. The theoretical framework of th
In this thesis I will interpret the Ars amatoria and Tristia written by the Roman poet Ovid. He is mostly known for his poems about love and metamorphoses, and his life is closely linked with that of the emperor Augustus. That is why I have chosen to focus on how Ovid expressed himself on subjects such as love, marriage and the imperial power. The aim of this thesis is therefore to investiga
Nya system skapar svårigheter då man inte kan använda redan etablerade metaforer, designer eller sätt att beskriva och prata om systemet. Detta arbetet ämnar att underlätta arbetet med sådana system genom att erbjuda designprinciper och metodiker för att jobba med dem och undersöka vilka svårigheter man behöver vara medveten om. För att forma och testa nya designprinciper och metodiker så genomföOne of the difficulties in designing new products is the absence of already tried metaphors, designs or ways to talk about the system. This thesis focuses on methods and practises one could potentially use when designing something new - and if there are any challenges one need to aware of as a designer of such a system. In order to devise, and test, these practices and methods, an example system
Memory integration is how series of similar memories can merge into overlapping representations as one abstract model of behavior to anticipate present and future episodes – facilitating instrumental use of episodic experience for higher-order inferences. Previous research has showed that a novel memory of reward can travel backwards in time through episodic memory and generalize its contents to p

Förenta Nationernas, FN:s, fredsbevarande arbete har under det senaste decenniet fått utstå kritik ifråga om dess framgång. Organisationens främsta mål med operationerna är att uppnå en liberal demokrati i krigsdrabbade länder, vilket kritiker menar att de inte sällan misslyckas med. Två av FN:s fredsbevarande operationer under 2000-talet har ägt rum i Liberia och Nepal i samband med avslutat inbö
In order to develop indicators measuring the most important aspects of fire safety, the initial approach undertaken was to identify the fire safety components that have the largest importance to a building’s overall fire safety, and to let these components form the basis for the indicator development. Through the use of a Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) methodology with a hierarchical appro
