This thesis is essentially a political jurisprudential case study of two labor disputes and their judicial aftermaths. The two cases studied are the highly publicized Laval and Viking cases, and the theoretical model employed is Alec Stone Sweet's model on judicialization and the construction of governance. The paper is made up of six sections. After the introductory section, I introduce the r
Racial profiling is something that has been occurring in different contexts and countries for decades. When discussing the topic, it usually refers to the police authority conducting direct or indirect racial profiling of individuals who seem suspicious or that have foreign appearance compared to the native population.

Bakgrund: Evidensbaserad vård har visat sig ha positiva effekter för både patienter och organisationen, och är ett väl genomforskat ämne i bland annat sjukhuskontext. Det finns barriärer relaterat till dess implementation som utgörs av exempelvis brist på tid, resurser och kunskap. Evidensbaserad vård inom ambulanssjukvård är dock inte lika väl undersökt, vilket understryker ett behov av en utforsBackground: Evidence-based practice is proven to have positive effects for both patients and organizations, and is a well-researched subject in intrahospital and primary care settings. There are however barriers pertaining to its implementation in the form of, for example, lack of time, resources, and knowledge. Evidence-based practice in the ambulance service context is, however, not nearly as we

While many medieval religious orders nursed an interest for science and knowledge in general, their approach to medicine was complicated by the complex attitude towards illness and the tending of the body within Christendom.

Soil and water acidification was internationally recognised as a severe environmental problem in the late 1960s. The interest in establishing “critical loads” led to a peak in weathering research in the 1980s and 1990s, since base cation weathering is the long-term counterbalance to acidification pressure. Assessments of weathering rates and associated uncertainties have recently become an area of
Old age care will become an increasing task in all societies as population aging gives an increasing number of elderly that will need help with daily activities. In this article different means – and their costs – of old age care are discussed. There are three ways of organizing old age care, the family, the market and the state, each one with its pros and cons. Irrespective of form, old age care
Within the literature on innovation systems, there are a growing number of scholars emphasizing the importance of differentiated knowledge bases underlying innovation activities. The existing work on knowledge bases is largely grounded on in-depth case studies; while surprisingly little effort has been done so far to operationalize the concept in a more systematic manner. In this article, an attem
Globalization is a widespread phenomenon that is having a strong influence on the modern society, creating both threats and opportunities. One of the most affected areas by the global pressures is the labor market, which requires specific policies and tools to respond to the increasing challenges. It is thus the task of the modern welfare states, to intervene in the attempt of transforming the glo
