År 2021 utarbetades en promemoria inom Arbetsmarknadsdepartementet med förslag på en reformerad arbetsrätt. Detta förslag berör bland annat LAS (Lagen om anställningsskydd) och uthyrningslagen (Lag (2012:854) om uthyrning av arbetstagare). Den här studien behandlar dels förslaget om att särskild visstidsanställning ska ersätta allmän visstidsanställning, dels förslaget om att den inhyrda arbetstag

Organizational change due to digitalization trends puts established organizations under pressure to constantly adapt in order to compete in today’s markets. The disruptive nature of such transformational changes significantly impacts what organizations stand for and, thus, how organizational members relate to their organization. Taking an interpretivist stance, the aim of this study is to understa

Kvantdatorer har fått mycket fokus i media de senaste åren på grund av sin potentiella förmåga att lösa problem som är för tidskrävande för att låta sig lösas på klassiska datorer. Kvantdatorer skiljer sig i grunden från dagens datorer, genom att bygga på gåtfulla kvantmekaniska egenskaper. En sådan är kvantsuperposition, som innebär att en partikel kan vara i flera kvanttillstånd samtidigt. AntagQuantum annealing provides a promising avenue for obtaining good approximate solutions to difficult optimization problems. Protein folding represents one such problem. For testing novel algorithms and technologies, simplified lattice models are well suited, as they represent considerable computational challenges despite their simplicity. One such model is the HP model, where the protein is represe

On January 4th, 2022, new restrictions under the Europe-wide REACH protocol on chemicals hit the tattooing industry when the content of inks came under regulation. This essay seeks to find out how this directly has impacted tattoo artists and their ability to work. To achieve this a phenomenological approach was used, and data was collected through six semi-structured, qualitative interviews with

Bakgrund: Konsekvenserna av en förvärvad hjärnskada (FHS) ser olika ut, men innebär ofta en komplex sammansättning av symtom som kräver omfattande, individanpassad, rehabilitering. En brist på interventionsforskning och evidensbaserad kunskap kan ses inom arbetsterapi för barn och unga med FHS. Syfte: Att kartlägga och beskriva arbetsterapeutiska interventioner och dess effekt för barn och unga mBackground: Consequences of an acquired brain injury (ABI) differ and the complex mix of symptoms often requires extensive individualized rehabilitation. There is a lack of intervention research and evidence-based knowledge within occupational therapy for children and adolescents with ABI. Objective: To provide an overview and a description of occupational therapy interventions and their effect o

There is a great belief in the use of repression and increased state control to combat social problems, particularly crime, in current Swedish crime policies, visible through the 34-points program in which most points are aimed at longer penalties and increased state authority. At the same time, the government claims the need for promotion of desistance. This study aims to explore the governing of

Cryptocurrencies are attracting the interest of investors and the public since they are perceived as an alternative to overcome the limitations of the current financial system. Cryptocurrencies are energy-hungry; therefore, the environmental cost represents a limitation to their adoption. Research regarding the environmental aspect of cryptocurrency adoption is lacking and tends to be biased or ob

The heterogeneity in regional growth rates within the European Union has been subject to a vast array of studies and research. However, there exists surprisingly little literature focusing on the impact of regional structural development on the economic growth processes. Given that the treaty on the functioning of the European Union emphasises the strengthening of the economic and social cohesion

This paper was aimed at synthesising a comprehensive understanding of the sometimes opposing conceptualisations and practical applications of mindfulness in Western societies. Mindfulness is a part of a meditation practice derived from ancient Buddhist doctrine, in the form of the Pāli word sati. After proven successful against stress, Jon Kabat-Zinn started promoting it in 1990. It became popular

The COVID-19 pandemic has fuelled the transformation of organisations from physical work environments to hybrid working environments. Some organisations have made the permanent change to a hybrid working environment – the hybrid working environment, herein, a mix of office and remote work. However, there is a limited body of literature to be found on the relation between organisational identificat

In this paper I will be analyzing a Scottish political party and their collective identity. This includes the party’s history and how their collective identity is created by drawing boundaries, as well as showing solidarity. I will be using an anthropological approach and anthropological theory to help define their collective identity. I will be using theories and concepts from Thomas Hylland Erik

Drottninghög is a neighborhood in Helsingborg, Sweden that was almost entirely built during Miljonprogrammet, a housing project conducted between 1965-1975 in Sweden with the goal of building housing for a hundred thousand people each year during its ten year run. Drottninghög has for a longer period of time been in need of restoration and development. Hence, the municipality of Helsingborg as wel

Videomötet är på uppgång i verksamheterna men forskning visar att kommunikationen i dessa verktyg kan hindras. För projektgruppen kan detta innebära risker eftersom en god kommunikation är en förutsättning för projektets framgång. Syftet med studien är att identifiera vilka kommunikativa svårigheter som finns i videomötet och vad dessa kan innebära för arbetsgruppen. Studien utgår från tidigare fo

I den politiska överenskommelsen januariavtalet ingick bland annat förslag om att den svenska arbetsrätten skulle förändras och moderniseras. Regeringen tillsatte först en egen utredning, SOU 2020:30. Därefter utarbetade arbetsmarknadens parter efter förhandlingar en egen principöverenskommelse om förändringar av arbetsrätten. I januari år 2020 tillsatte Regeringskansliet tre utredningar vars syftThe political agreement “januariavtalet” included a proposal to change and modernise Swedish labour law. The government first appointed its own enquiry, SOU 2020:30. Subsequently, the social partners negotiated and prepared their own agreement regarding changes to the labour law. In January 2020 the Swedish government offices appointed three enquiries whose purpose was to modernise the labour law

Genom den externa dimensionen av EUs migrations policys har EU och medlemsstaterna alltmer börjat använda sig av externaliseringsåtgärder som ett sätt att få till bukt på de irreguljära migrationsströmmar som når unionens externa gränser. Åtgärderna är karaktäriserade av inhemska handlingar med extraterritoriella effekter vilka leder till ökad migrationskontroll i de tredjeländerna som åtgärderna Through the external dimension of the EU migration policy, the EU and its member states have increasingly employed externalization measures as a means of stemming the irregular migration flows that reach the external borders of the Union. The measures are characterized by domestic conduct with extraterritorial effect leading to increased migration control in the third countries targeted by these m

Given the rise of new startups and the challenges amplified by events like the Covid-19, it is critical to address the notion of the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem which, in turn, facilitates the development of new ventures. One of the actors within this ecosystem is startup accelerators, which provide networking opportunities, financial and mentoring assistance to new ventures. Previous research on ac

In one way or another, everyone is a pedestrian. The planning for walkable cities has received more and more attention over the years. Researchers in the fields of transportation, the health sciences, urban design, and environmental psychology have all contributed to the walkability research by focusing on different aspects of walking. Walkability can be defined as factors related to the planning-
