After being subjugated under the authoritarian regime of Ben Ali for 23 years, the citizens of Tunisia took to the streets in 2010 and demanded a change. The uprising then evolved into a democratization process, but even though one of the main reasons for the uprising was the oppressing and corrupt security sector, the attempts of security sector reform (SSR) have been unsuccessful in “democratizi
Under de senaste åren har en debatt rörande ökade kostnader för veterinärvård eskalerat. Denna uppsats syftar till att utreda konsumenters rättigheter vid fastställandet av priset för veterinärmedicinska behandlingar. Den primära lagen beträffande avtal om tjänster är Konsumenttjänstlagen (1985:716) (KtjL). Behandling av levande djur är emellertid undantaget från lagens tillämpningsområde. Lagen kDuring the last couple of years, a debate about increased costs for veterinary care has escalated. This paper aims to assess consumers’ rights when determining the price for a veterinary treatment. The Consumers Services Act is the primary law concerning contracts between consumers and traders. Treatment of animals is derogated from the Consumers Services Act. However, the law can be applicable an
Much has been written about why a woman stays in a relationship with a man who exposes her to violence, while less has been written about what causes the woman to one day pack a bag and actually leave the man. Interviews with six persons, who either has personal experience from intimate partner violence or possesses knowledge of the subject through their profession, has been conducted in order to
This thesis explores the European Commission’s proposal on General Reverse Charge Mechanism. VAT is a final tax on consumption. It is imposed on every transaction in the supply chain with the general aim of being deductible and thus being neutral for businesses with the right to deduct. The initial aim of the VAT system was to operate as if all the transactions occurred in one single country; howe
The purpose of this essay is to investigate how organizations working for people with mental illness regards mental illness and the situation for people with mental illness in relation to society. Using the method of idea- and ideology analysis I examine websites and documents produced by the organizations. In addition to this material I also use two focus group interviews, which I’ve conducted on
Denna studie syftar till att öka kunskapen om hur organisationer kan använda em-ployer branding i sin kommunikation för att attrahera ny talang. Tidigare forskning kring extern employer branding är huvudsakligen fokuserad på arbetskraft som redan är etablerad på arbetsmarknaden, och dessutom finns mycket få studier i en svensk kontext. För att bidra till ökad kunskap i strategisk kommunikation ochThis study aims to increase the knowledge of how organizations can use employer branding communication to attract new talent. Previous research on external em-ployer branding has been mainly focused on employees already established on the labour market and there are very few studies performed in a Swedish context. To contribute to increased knowledge in the field of strategic communication and em-
Over the past decade, the transition to a circular economy has gained attention as a necessary step towards sustainable development. In contrast to the linear economy that is rooted in a ‘take-make-dispose’ mentality, the circular economy aims to decouple economic growth from unsustainable use of non-renewable resources by closing the material loops in the economy. While the EU recognizes that na
The purpose of this study is to explore the opportunities and challenges for self-employed artists who use social media for their business. The research is focused on painters and illustrators who have digitalised and commercialised their own artwork. The method follows a qualitative research framework with a comparative design of multiple cases on the level of individual artists. Seven artists fr
A study is carried out on the ventilation strategies for road tunnels in different countries and consequences using fixed fire fighting systems (FFFS). The type of ventilation strategy for road tunnels can ensure the safety of people during the evacuation stages and protection of the rescue services during their intervention of the fire. Ventilation strategies vary from country to country and ther
Due to climate change, emissions of greenhouse gases must be reduced rapidly and natural resources must be used more sustainably. The public sector should lead the way to a more sustainable society and healthcare has been identified as an area that contributes to large emissions. The purpose of this study was to identify measures that can be taken to reduce the climate impact of the retirement ho
The aim of this thesis is to widen the understanding of the gender pay gap by introducing the factor of sexuality. Same-sex couples have legal rights that are relatively new; how does our understanding of labor division and pay change when more data on queer people emerge? This is achieved by using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) from the year 2017 and making multiple regressions,
Sammanfattning Inledning: Framgångsfaktorer har i litteraturen länge diskuterats. Begreppet definieras som de specifika tillgångar och kompetenser genom vilka ett företag uppnår framgång, bland annat genom långsiktig tillväxt, lönsamhet och konkurrenskraft. Framgång är i sig ett komplext begrepp, vilket definieras och analyseras i uppsatsen för att fullt ut kunna undersöka framgångsfaktorer. Vidar
Human pluripotent stem cell-derived in vitro models, combined with advances in high-content live-cell calcium imaging, provide a powerful platform for disease modeling and drug screening. However, most calcium imaging analysis tools have been developed for in vivo applications with suboptimal features for processing data from cultured neurons. Here, we present LUMIN (Live-cell User Module for Imag
Al-Ga-based alloys are promising carriers of renewable energy, which can provide hydrogen by hydrolysis in challenging working environments. Manipulating their performance by different process conditions and comprehending the mechanisms are important for achieving directional design synthesis of alloys and enhancing their practicality. This study presents a novel approach to optimizing the hydroge
The interest in putting a price on carbon emissions is increasing in pace with the urgency of climate change. In this article we compare the adoption of one such policy instrument, carbon taxation, in the cases of Sweden and Mexico. We use a theoretical framework that focuses on economic and environmental factors influencing the policy process via distinct policy areas, as well as the mechanisms t
A quantitative understanding of the hydro-environmental factors that influence the occurrence of agricultural drought events would enable more strategic climate change adaptation and drought management plans. Practical drought hazard mapping remains challenging due to possible exclusion of the most pertinent drought drivers, and to the use of inadequate predictive models that cannot describe droug
Considering the ever increasing financial damages of floods and the need to manage the surface water, the use of new and more sufficient methods seems to be necessary. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate capability of the Gamma, Beta, Chi-square, and Weibull probability distribution functions (PDFs) for flood hydrograph derivation. The present study was conducted in the Bar watershed,
PurposeThis study aims to investigate how stakeholder cocreation in 3D city mapping initiatives can extend the role of digital urban platforms beyond administrative efficiency toward the negotiation and enhancement of place attractiveness. Drawing on a participatory case study of Trollhättan, Sweden, the paper explores the needs, expectations and aspirations articulated by diverse stakeholder grou
Evaluating the repellency of essential oils against Tetranychus urticae requires robust methodologies to detect time-dependent changes in their efficacy, due to differential efficacy, volatility, and sustained effectiveness. This study introduces the Pole-dance bioassay, a novel no-choice method optimized for high-throughput screening of time-dependent repellency, demonstrated through tests on twe
