Denna avhandling undersöker två centrala frågor rörande verksamhetsövergångar enligt svensk och EU:s arbetsrätt: (1) Vilket kollektivavtal och vilka delar av kollektivavtalet blir gällande för förvärvaren när ett företag, en verksamhet eller en del av en verksamhet övergår från överlåtaren till förvärvaren genom en sådan övergång som omfattas av 6 b § LAS; och (2) vilken betydelse har kollektivavtThis thesis examines two central questions concerning business transfers under Swedish and EU labour law: (1) which collective agreement, and which parts of it, become binding for the transferee when a business, undertaking, or part thereof is transferred in accordance with Section 6 b of the Swedish Employment Protection Act (LAS); and (2) what role the collective agreement plays in determining w

This thesis examines whether the Fama & French three-factor model (1993) provides a better explanation of Swedish stock returns than the traditional Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Using data from firms listed on Nasdaq Stockholm between 2016 and 2024, six portfolios were formed based on firm size and price-to-book ratio. Monthly returns were calculated and regressed against both the marke

Bakgrund: Sociala medieanvändandet på mobilen har ökat och blivit en naturlig del av vardagen. Unga kvinnor är den målgrupp som använder sociala medier mest och påverkas mest av dess negativa effekter. Idag finns begränsad forskning kring hur aktivitetsbalansen påverkas av sociala medier. Syfte: Att undersöka hur användandet av sociala medier på mobilen påverkar upplevelsen av aktivitetsbalans hoBackground: Social media use on mobile devices is today a natural part of everyday life. Young women are those using social media the most, and are therefore also exposed to its negative effects. Today there is limited research on how occupational balance is affected by social media use. Aim: To investigate how the use of social media on mobile devices affect the experience of occupational balanc
