De lagar som finns gällande föräldraledighet påverkar arbetsmarknaden genom att sätta normer för arbetande föräldrar. De reglerar inte bara hur mycket och under hur lång tid en arbetande förälder kan vara ledig, utan bidrar också till den generella synen på könsrollerna i samhället och med det även synen på vem som är den primära föräldern. Den konservativa uppfattningen av modern som den huvudsakThe existing parenting protection legislation affects the labour market by setting standards for working parents. This to make sure they have the right to leave in order to take care of their children. These laws regulate not only the time frame and the days allowed for leave, but also contribute to the general view on gender roles and views on which parent is the primary one. The conservative per

The main purpose of this thesis is to clarify what the term flexicurity is and what it entails. Flexicurity is a labour market policy model that has the goal of creating more and better jobs. In itself, flexicurity is a political tool and is not a legal term. I will aim at clarifying how this political model has been transformed into legislation and how it can assist the labour market in different

Att karlägga och kvantifiera skogsinformation angående exempelvis marktäcke, terräng, trädhöjder och volym är en traditionellt både tidskrävande och dyr del av skogsbruk och forskning eftersom mätningar vanligtvis samlas in i fält med handhållna instrument. Fjärranalys har visat sig vara ett värdefullt komplement till fältbaserade mätningar eftersom det möjliggör för snabb och relativt billig insaMapping and quantifying forest information about e.g. land cover, tree height and biomass has traditionally been a both time-consuming and labour-intensive part of forestry and forest research as field measurements typically are collected manually using handheld equipment. Remote sensing has proved to be a valuable complement to field based measurements as it enables for fast and relatively cheap

The European Monetary Union was formed over a decade ago with a mission to create a single market with a single currency for the European Union members. Today only 19 out of the European Union members have adopted the official common currency, the Euro. The purpose for this thesis is to asses how the Euro has effected Finland’s exports during the time period 1995-2014. This has been estimated thro

Carbonatite is an unusual type of rock that, for a long time, were not accepted for what they really are. This group of rocks is now considered to be of igneous origin and is classified after its content of carbonate minerals. If it exceed 50% the rock will be named a carbonatite. This group of rocks can be found all over the world and two of these places, which this review will focus on, are the

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 has been hailed as a groundbreaking achievement. It was the first time in which the Security Council addressed women’s issues and a gender mainstreaming strategy was through the agenda introduced to the security domain. National Action Plans or NAPs have been developed in conjunction with the agenda to legitimise, spread and speed up the implementati

In this foucauldian inspired study I understand the kind of animal body that breeding practices produces based on Nicole Karafyllis concept biofact, which is defined by her as something or someone, whose growth is controlled and thus no longer self-determined. This leads to the question how, what Giorgio Agamben calls the oikonomia of apparatus governed the morphological changes that occurred in t

Integrated reporting is an approach to corporate reporting that seeks to integrate significant financial and non-financial information and demonstrate how they are connected to each other. By doing so, integrated reporting is expected to lead to integrated thinking and decision-making, reflecting how an organisation impacts and is impacted by the economic, social and environmental context in which

Degrowth refers to an alternative human society which is simplistic, cooperative and opposite of current growth system which is based on overproduction and overconsumption. The current growth trend is indisputably unsustainable for the future being of the earth and its’ population. Resource depletion, land degradation and climate change have become inevitable due to growth system, overproduction a

Stadsmiljöer är ofta sårbara vid katastrofer eller extrema väderhändelser. En anledning till detta är att stora delar av de tätbebyggda områden som utgör en stadsmiljö består av ytor som inte tillåter vatteninfiltrering. Detta kan medföra att vissa områden i en stad är mer benägna än andra att drabbas av översvämning. Att lokalisera översvämningsbenägna ytor är en viktig del i en stads uppbyggnad Impervious surfaces, such as large parts of the urban area, reduce infiltration and increase above ground runoff (Chen et al. 2009) with risk of flooding as a result. Urban flooding has the potential to affect a large amount of people, and can cause great harm to economic interests. Therefore it is important to locate potential areas prone to flooding, and have storm water regimes in mind when pla

The study of the naturalization decision process have gained more attention in the field of economics and migration in recent years. This primarily relates to examining whether certain contextual and structural socioeconomic characteristics can explain the probability for immigrants of becoming citizens in their new country. However, there have been little research on this decision process in an h

Landskapsformen drumlin har länge diskuterats inom akademin och den här studen syftar till att sprida lite ljus över dom. Genom att kartlägga två drumlinområden runt sjön Åsnen i Småland, södra Sverige har deras utsträckning kartlagts med en precision som länge ansetts omöjligt. Detta gjordes genom att använda hög upplösta hillshade modeller framtagna från LiDAR data för att efter att ha analysera

Kv. Renen 13 i centrala Varberg är sedan tidigare känt som kraftigt förorenat. På fastigheten har det från slutet av 1800-talet fram till 2003 funnits verksamheter i form av textilindustri som avlösts av finmekanisk verkstadsindustri. Det är framförallt den sistnämnda verksamheten som har orsakat rådande situation med höga halter klorerade lösningsmedel, trikloreten (TCE) och 1,1,1-trikoletan (TCA

Climate change is an issue that can no longer be ignored and actions are taken all over the world in order to prevent the effects from becoming too severe. The energy system is transitioning towards more renewable energy sources and wind power has an important role in this development. The penetration of wind power in a lot of countries all over the world has increased rapidly during the last deca
