In the chapter, “Trade Unions and Collective Agreements in a Changing World”, Anders Kjellberg explains why Swedish union density still is very high from an international perspective and why it fell dramatically in the years 2007 and 2008, particularly among Young and foreign-born employees, both containing a high share of precarious workers. Also, a number of long-term factors pressing union dens
In today s society, the foreground of deliberation-in politics, legislation, judicial decisions, even war is increasingly experienced by citizens as a mask for the working out of norms and institutions the precise nature of which eludes us. We are accustomed to looking behind every news item, often feeling that the real decisions are made by other people than those who seem to be in power, or that
Interview 1991 with Lars von Trier on the set of "Europa"
In 2019, a national incident operation was introduced by the Swedish police to reduce gun-shootings in public space, and to achieve public safety and security. The operation - known as Operation Rimfrost - introduced a new intelligence-based method to combat crime, which involved the use of different surveillance technologies in public space. "From a social space analysis perspective of Opera
Telomeres have an important role in cell replication and maintenance and are known to shorten at each cell division. They have been linked to lifespan and mortality in wild populations, and induced stress and environmental conditions are thought to accelerate telomere shortening which may lead to shorter lifespan. The ‘disposable soma’ theory of aging, predicts that investment in reproduction will
Despite its small size Colombia hosts 10% of the planet’s biodiversity, in the over 53% of its territory which is covered by different types of tropical and Andean forests. However, decades of war have had devastating effects on the country’s environment, which is threatened with deforestation for the clearing for agriculture areas, mostly for illegal crops; as well as on its population, which has
This study comprehensively evaluated the global warming potential of an office building in a newly built Scandinavian neighbourhood seeking to reach sustainability. The primary objective of the research was to support the city authorities of Helsingborg by providing valuable insights into actual carbon emissions at the building level and proposing measures to minimize these emissions to achieve cl
Slovakia has as a small state in the Central Europe gone through two types of transformations. First was from socialism to democracy, accompanied by various reforms, the second from an aid recipient to an aid donor. These experiences have, naturally, shaped Slovakia's identity, ideas and interests. Slovakia has gradually built up close bilateral development cooperation with Kenya, which figure
This thesis is an attempt to formalise some of the insights of ecological economics in mathematical form. It seeks to develop a model for economic growth in which natural resources are complements to labour and capital in production. The model is centred around the role of entropy in production. The model also separates between the material and the intangible dimensions of production, because they
This study aimed at evaluating the applicability of affordances and to what extent the concept could explain design related incidents. The chosen area of interest was healthcare. By employing the Critical Incidents Technique and melding it with the concept of affordances, an evaluation of designs was conducted on workflow activities in a Central Sterilization Unit. Results indicated that affordanc
One of the most important topics in financial literature is the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH). Recent financial research has questioned this hypothesis, and many authors have reached the conclusion that a contrarian strategy creates abnormal positive returns. In other words a strategy profiting buying losers and selling winners. To explain this market behaviour researchers have come up with a
Outstanding economic growth in China has its price to pay. By prioritizing economic growth as number-one issue, complementing cheap energy consumption has undeniably been side-by-side. Although the energy base on fossil-fuel energy consumption, together with inefficient technology has pushed forward China to lifting millions of the population out of poverty, it has also mounted emissions in China,

The purpose of the thesis is to investigate a possible link between financial sector development through microfinance and economic growth in low income countries. The microfinance sector has been able to reach poor clients, earlier considered “unbankable” and is now increasing the financial services in these countries by including the poor. The hypothesis of the paper is that this leads to an expa
