The garment industry is one of the most vulnerable sectors in the world, with bad working conditions. Low wages and not allowed union organizing is every day for most workers, especially in Bangladesh. The workers are considered to living on a minimum wage, which does not cover the basic needs for workers and their family; therefore we need to talk about a living wage. This study is to examine ab

Different interests ascribe different meaning to the role of culture in urban regeneration and discourses are created. Previous research showed that successful examples of urban regeneration happened as culture-led bottom-up processes, where inhabitants had a supporting cooperation with the city administration. No strong evidence has been presented in previous research that culture has trickle-dow

Young children have been identified as particularly exposed to fires. This study aims at investigating pre-school children's level of knowledge about fire and evacuation and if the level of knowledge increases after an education. The aim has also been to present guidelines of how educational materials for children of that age should be designed. The work has been conducted by interviews with p

Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker implementeringsproblemet som kan uppstå i avståndet mellan Sveriges riksdag och den verkställande byråkratin. Frågeställningen besvaras främst med hjälp av de värden som presenteras i Dahls demokratiteori (2002) och Lundquists teorier om byråkratisk etik (1988 & 1998) tillsammans med de värden som återfinns i Regeringskansliets värdegrund för statliga tjänstemä

Denna uppsats redogör för hur arbetsgivarens skyldigheter skiljer sig åt vid uppsägning respektive avsked och analyserar på vilka bevekelsegrunder en arbetsgivare kan välja att avskeda istället för att säga upp. Vid både uppsägning och avsked föreligger samma formella skyldigheter samt en skyldighet att förhandla innan åtgärden vidtas. Arbetsgivaren har dock olika lång tid på sig att lämna underräThis essay will discuss how the responsibilities of the employer differ between termination and dismissal and will furthermore analyse the motives an employer can have in order to justify the use of dismissal instead of termination. Before terminating or dismissing an employee, the employer must in both cases observe the formal responsibilities as well as the obligation to negotiate. The differenc

Denna uppsats behandlar förekomsten av rumslig autokorrelation i residualer till paneldatamodeller med tvåvägsfel. Tre modelltyper undersöks: den linjära paneldatamodellen, en dynamisk paneldatamodell och en spatial paneldatamodell. Ett känt resultat för den linjära modellen, att minsta kvadrat-skattaren tillämpad på oberoende observationer resulterar i en rumslig korrelation i residualserien varsThis thesis examines the spatial autocorrelation in residuals of two-way error panel data models. Three types of models are examined: the standard linear panel data model, the dynamic panel data model, and the spatial lag panel data model. A known theoretical result for the linear model, that the within estimator applied to independent observations results in a spatial correlation in the residuals

Children who grow up with a parent with an addiction and/or mental illness are at higher risk of developing the same disorder. There are children who even when growing up under rough conditions succeed to overcome their childhood and grow up to be “normal” citizens. These children have a high level of resilience and are usually referred to as Superkids. The aim of this study was to understand what

Urban environments are rapidly growing worldwide with severe consequences to animals and plants residing in our cities. Some of the most well-studied urban wildlife is passerine birds, where a wide array of effects have been documented; smaller clutches, earlier breeding, shorter telomeres and oxidative stress are just some costs among numerous others. Yet, few studies have so far investigated the

Girls continue to be less interested in studying engineering than boys. Previous research has found that this gender difference is in part due to girls’ lower self-efficacy, lower sense of belonging in engineering and higher communal goals, which they perceive are difficult to fulfil in engineering. This study tested if a role model intervention can improve these factors in female high school stud

Fewer hospital beds and an increasing amount of patients with comorbidities calls for more advanced care being performed in the municipal home care. This increases the incidence of acute illnesses needing to be assessed by the nurse in municipal home care. An early and structured assessment is crucial for making correct and efficient decisions about the level of care that the patient needs. This s

Denna uppsats handlar om det aktiebolagsrättsliga begreppet värdeöverföring. Uppsatsen har sitt fokus på förtäckt värdeöverföring i ett koncernsammahang. Förtäckt värdeöverföring definieras i 17 kap. 1§ 1st. p.4 enligt följande; annan affärshändelse som medför att bolagets förmögenhet minskar och inte har rent affärsmässig karaktär för bolaget. Uppsatsen ämnar skapa en djupare förståelse och kuns

Our paper starts with a reflection on how the classic left and right-wing scale has become less relevant in modern politics. Instead, we argue that completely new divisions in society are being formed. Examples are issues of globalization, immigration and identity. These are questions often associated with the other axis of the political scale - conservative or progressive. To examine this in prac

Syftet med den aktuella studien var att undersöka om en intervention i positiv psykologi kunde leda till ett ökat välbefinnande hos elever i årskurs 1-6 på en svensk grundskola. Det undersöktes även om interventionen hade olika effekt i olika årskurser. Frågeformulär administrerades före och efter interventionen. Enstaka frågor om trivsel i skolan, psykosomatiska besvär och mobbning samt Students’

Den föreliggande studien grundades på tidigare forskning som funnit samband mellan email-användande och stressrelaterade sjukdomar, såsom utbrändhet och emotionell utmattning, samt en ökad daglig stress. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan email overload, copingstrategier och upplevd stress. Vidare frågeställningar som studien baserades på var ifall det finns ett sThe present study was based on previous research that has found connections between email usage and stress-related diseases, such as burnout and emotional exhaustion, as well as an increased daily stress. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether there is a connection between email overload, coping strategies and percieved stress. Further issues on which the study was based was if there
