This essay is a comparison of the American and the Swedish labor law systems regarding the right to strike. American unions generally have a tougher time than Swedish unions to get by. Not only do they have to fight the employers, the federal government does not give much support either and the union dislike is widely spread amongst the population. This goes back all the way to the beginning of th

Mikrober finns överallt, runt omkring oss i vår miljö och inuti våra kroppar. De som lever tillsammans med djur har mycket stor påverkan på värdens hälsa och evolutionära fitness. Från ett djurs perspektiv är vissa mikrober goda, andra onda, och vissa har ingen större påverkan på hälsan, men egentligen beror dessa egenskaper på sammanhanget, eftersom det är vanligt att mikrober byter strategi tillThe microbes living inside hosts have highly important consequences for host health and fitness. From the host’s perspective, some microbes exhibit mutualistic tendencies, others parasitic, and some commensal, but this is context-dependent and opportunistic lifestyles are widespread in nature. Our knowledge of how hosts interact molecularly with different microbes is, however, poor, and little res
This thesis consists of four self-contained articles, all of which contribute to the empirical research on credit ratings. Broadly speaking, the first two papers highlight two less ordinary “uses” of credit ratings, in the context of (1) measuring financial constraints and (2) bond market segmentation. The last two papers focus on a relatively new concept in the credit ratings’ literature, specifi

In recent years, land acquisition has escalated due to increased global demand for food and fuel driven by population growth, urbanisation, and growing energy demand. Mozambique is ranked as one of the world’s top 10 countries with available land for agriculture, forestry and livestock production. Low labour costs and land taxes may further increase the interest in Mozambican land. In particular,
The adage “think global, act local” can be a fitting description of how to address climate change. Municipalities are often responsible for implementing the measures required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and shift to a more climate-neutral development trajectory. However, there is a vast spectrum of municipal ambition regarding climate, and not all municipalities manage to have robust and am
Abstract In nature, a majority of migratory populations are composed of a mixture of both seasonal migrants and year-round residents, a phenomenon known as partial migration. It is of great importance to identify the factors causing the variation in individual decisions of whether or not to migrate. Partly for a more profound understanding of the evolution behind animal migration, and moreover th

Det kan anses otillfredsställande att döma den som har haft en central och avgörande roll i brottet, även utan fysisk närvaro och fysiskt bidrag vid brottstillfället, som medverkande. Varken den svenska lagstiftaren eller rättspraxis har ställt upp tydliga kriterier för (med)gärningsmannaskap. I NJA 2006 s. 535 gjorde Högsta domstolen ett varsamt försök att uppställa vissa kriterier/utgångspunkterThe Swedish law has not set forth any evident and accurate criteria for (co-)perpetration. The minimum requirement for (co-)perpetration in Swedish law is support/encouragement and a decisive influence on the occurrence of the crime. Should the person who is the “mastermind” behind the crime but is not physically present or hasn’t physically contributed at the commission of the crime be regarded a
Under hösten 2017 rasade det så kallade #metoo-uppropet i Sverige, och vittnesmål efter vittnesmål gavs bilden av hur sexuella trakasserier förekommer i tysthet på våra arbetsplatser. Diskussionen, som alltjämt pågår om än med lägre intensitet, har sagts kunna komma att utgöra ett paradigmskifte för vad som ska anses vara ett accepterat beteende på arbetsplatsen, och att det skulle vara svårt att During the Autumn of 2017, the #metoo movement sprung across Sweden with a deafening amount of testimonies of sexual harassment taking place in the quiet on work places across the country. The debate that started in the wake of this movement is still going on, albeit with less intensity, has been said to constitute a paradigm as to what kind of behaviors we will accept in our future working enviro
Cities affected by the impacts of climate change have to find new ways to adapt to the variability in weather patterns, such as heavy rainfalls and storms. The coastal city Malmö, a former industrial city, aims to be carbon neutral by 2020 and provided by 100 percent renewable energies in 2030. However, Malmö is facing many environmental and socio-economic challenges. One of these challenges is to
