Kollektivavtalet intar en unik position i svensk arbetsrätt. Den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen präglas av att lagstiftaren har låtit många frågor vara oreglerade till förmån för parternas autonomi och självreglering genom kollektivavtal. När parterna är oense om innebörden av en bestämmelse i ett kollektivavtal kan de ta tvisten till Arbetsdomstolen. Det finns inga lagstiftade riktlinjer för hur Collective agreements hold an unique position in Swedish labour law. The Swedish legislator has allowed many issues to be unsettled for the benefit of the parties' autonomy and self-regulation through collective bargaining. When the parties disagree on the meaning of a collective agreement they may take the dispute to the Swedish Labour Court. There are no legislated guidelines on how the inte

Soft regionalism och regionala identiteter i Storbritannien har sällan blivit utforskade utöver nationella debatter avseende Skottland, England, Wales och Cornwall. Dessutom har även många senare regionala studier i England försummats helt. Denna studie har sin bakgrund i den pågående debatten om decentrialisering (devolution) och skapandet av nya regionala myndigheter och urbaner-regioner i StorbSoft regionalism and regional identities in Great Britain has seldom been explored beyond the national debates of Scotland, Wales, and Cornwall. Many recent local studies in England have, too, been neglected. This study is set against the backdrop of the ongoing debates around devolution within the United Kingdom and the creation of new regional authorities and city-regions. This thesis investigat

Paketering av fastigheter är idag en vanlig åtgärd inför en stundande försäljning av en eller flera fastigheter. Det vanligaste sättet att paketera en fastighet på är att ett dotterbolag bildas, varpå fastigheten överlåts till dotterbolaget till ett underpris. Om alla förutsättningar är uppfyllda kan detta göras utan att det blir någon eller endast liten skatteeffekt. Även stämpelskatt kan under vReal estate packaging in to a limited company is today a common action before an upcoming sale of one or more properties. The most common way to transfer a property is to establish a subsidiary and then transfer the property to the subsidiary at a loss. If all conditions are met, this can be done with little or no tax effect. Even stamp duty may under certain circumstances be avoided. Once the pro

I denna studie har vi intervjuat tre kvinnor som levt under riskfyllda förhållanden i form av missbruk i större delar av sitt liv. Syftet med vår uppsats var att undersöka vilka erfarenheter anhöriga till missbrukare har av självhjälpsgrupper av typen ACA (vuxna barn till alkoholister och från andra dysfunktionella familjer) och dess stöd och hjälp.

CSR, Corporate Social Responsibility, är ett begrepp som skapats vid diskussioner om att bolag bör ta ett bredare samhällsansvar. Debatten om huruvida ett aktiebolag kan och ska ta ett bredare samhällsansvar utöver att sträva efter vinstmaximering för dess aktieägare, har blivit alltmer intensiv på senare tid, inte minst pga. den globalisering som sker av aktiebolagens verksamheter. CSR fokuserar The debate on CSR, Corporate Social Responsibility, and whether a corporation should take a broader social responsibility beyond striving for profit maximisation for its stockholders, has received an increasing interest during the last years. The globalization of the companies business operations has an important role on the impact regarding the debate. The question about CSR and a broader social

The focus of this thesis was primarily on the manufacturing process and the institutions and secondary on the user level. Our intention was to investigate whether it is possible to ident

This thesis explores the interplay between the architectural image and its collective meaning in the contemporary society. It starts from a wonder around the capacity of architectural project The Cloud towers, created by the widely known architectural company MVRDV, to ignite fervent reactions caused by its resemblance to the image of the World Trade Centre Towers exploding. While questioning the

The tendency to buy goods and especially services is increasing in our society. This has strongly affected the retail markets in Finland during the last decade. The consumers are affected by the dynamic society, which have set new challenges for consumption. Shopping centres are similar to each other and therefore the experience can be a determining factor when choosing the shopping centre. A shop

With a pair of intersectional glasses this thesis approaches public policy and processes surrounding it. By asking the following research questions: From an intersectional departing point, which policies are (re-)produced through the street-level bureaucrat? How can this be analyzed with an intersectional departing point? I search for answers within a long-term project which participant's are

Water availability faces increasing pressure due to economic growth, population growth,greater affluence as well as climate change. For companies, this could lead to higher businessrisks as water is often a key ingredient in their operations for example in cooling, steamgeneration and cleaning. Moreover, companies might be competing over water with otherstakeholders in the region when water scarci

Today, 14 years have gone since the whole world turned their backs on Rwanda, the small country in East Africa, during a time when its population needed us the most. These were the same nations that already after the Second World War had made a promise about ''Never Again'', then meaning that they would never again allow another attempt to exterminate an entire ethnic group. It was

To date, studies investigating maternal postpartum depression (PPD) have mainly focused on identifying failures in interactions of postpartum depressed mothers and their infants, often attributed to single dysfunctional maternal behaviors. Intrusiveness has been identified as a dysfunctional behavior characterizing mothers suffering from PPD. However, this research does not consider the co-constru

Frågan om rätt till heltid på arbetsmarknaden har länge varit omdebatterad. Kraven på rätt till heltid drivs såväl av de fackliga organisationerna som av politiker. Det kan vara svårt att försörja sig på ett deltidsarbete, och ur den aspekten har den deltidsanställde ett berättigat intresse av att kräva ett så högt arbetstidsmått som möjligt. Arbetsgivaren har å andra sidan ett intresse av att anpThe issue about the right to work full time has been debated for long time. The demand for the right to work full time is driven by the trade union movement as well as by politicians. It can be hard to earn a living when you work part-time, and from that aspect the part-time worker has an entitled interest to ask for such a high employment rate as possible. On the other hand the employer has an in
