Människohandel är ett samhällsproblem där människor i en redan sårbar situation utnyttjas. Min undersökning behandlar människohandel för arbetskraft, jag har utfört en intervjustudie med tre fackförbund, där jag undersökt deras syn på skillnaden av skydd för olika kategorier av arbetstagare. Med hjälp av Hanna Arendts teori om medborgarskapets betydelse för att räknas som rättighetsinnehavare, har

Ensuring food security for 9 billion people is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. Crop production needs to double by 2050 to keep up with demand from increasing population and income growth. Through analysis of the GRAIN database detailing land acquisitions in Africa for food production, I answered the question: are land acquisitions a solution to global food securi

Labour market integration of migrants is key for inclusive societies. Employment protection Legislation (EPL) provides the institutional foundations to facilitate such integration. While the effect of EPL on migrant’s employment is well studied, migrant’s in-work poverty has been relatively overlooked by the academic literature. This thesis therefore seeks to answer the following question: To what

As multistressors have been shown to have significant effects on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, the following study was made with the purpose of examining how a number of stressors specifically connected to climate change may have varied during the latest 65,5 million years and whether it is possible to predict potential effects on global biodiversity in the future. The analyses focused o

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to understand the key managerial challenges associated with Big Data. The research aimed to look at the possible obstacles that managers need to overcome while implementing Big Data. The main research question is : What are the main managerial challenges associated with Big Data and what steps are needed to overcome those? Methodology: Based on the concepts of

I juni 2022 röstades ett lagförslag igenom i riksdagen vilket resulterade i att det kostnadsbaserade avdraget för resor till och från arbetet (arbetsresor) ändrades om i grunden till att vara en färdmedelsneutral och avståndsbaserad skattereduktion. Innan de nya reglerna hann träda i kraft den 1 januari 2023 ändrade sig riksdagen och röstade i stället igenom ett förstärkt reseavdrag med höjda schaIn June 2022, a bill was passed through Riksdagen which led to the cost-based write off for traveling to and from your employment (work commute) being changed to accommodate non-specific travel methods and distance based tax deduction. Before the new bills had gone into effect starting from the 1st of january 2023, the Riksdag changed their mind and opted to pass a new bill that allowed for higher

In the spring of 2020 an ambitious new strategy, named Farm to Fork, was made public as part of the wider EU Green Deal. The main goal being substantial decrease in the use of both synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Despite the negative consequences of large scale industrial pesticide use, the agricultural industry within the European Union has a lot to lose in a potential legislation to limit

The discussion about weather one should pay expensive management fees to let professionals manage your money or if one should simply invest in an almost costless index fund has been going on for decades. This study’s objective is to investigate if the most popular actively managed mutual funds in Sweden can outperform the most popular Swedish passive broad market index fund. The study analyzes 62

In a time where it is believed that the administrative cooperation between the Members States, in the form of exchange of information and, in particular, thought the mandatory automatic exchange of information without preconditions, is the most effective means of enhancing the correct assessment of taxes in cross-border situations, the bulk of information exchanged increased enormously. As the Eur

The late 19th century witnessed a remarkable surge in globalization, resulting in a substantial flow of goods, labour, and capital across national and continental borders. Switzerland, despite its limited domestic market and resource constraints, capitalized on this era of globalization and transformed itself from a relatively impoverished agrarian state to one of the world's wealthiest nation

The last decade has represented a significant time in European Union (EU) energy policy. The mounting consequences of climate change have pushed the EU to the forefront of the clean energy transition. However, challenges such as the Crimean crisis in 2014, the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing war in Ukraine have also had implications on priorities in EU energy policy. This study aims to further t

Aquatic habitats are usually structured by light attenuation with depth resulting in different microalgal communities, each one adapted to a certain light regime by their specific pigment composition. Several taxa contain pigments restricted to one phylogenetic group, making them useful as marker pigments in phytoplankton community studies. The nuisance and invasive freshwater microalga Gonyostomu

The yeast Dekkera/Brettanomyces bruxellensis can cause enormous economic losses in wine industry due to production of phenolic off-flavor compounds. D. bruxellensis is a distant relative of baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Nevertheless, these two yeasts are often found in the same habitats and share several food-related traits, such as production of high ethanol levels and ability to grow w

In this paper, a new application of resonant acoustic spectroscopy (RAS) is examined for constructing asphalt concrete mastercurves from seismic testing. The frequency-dependent material properties can be characterized from multiple modes of vibration through the use of RAS. Beam-shaped asphalt specimens are tested at multiple temperatures to determine the resonance frequencies of the specimens. T

In aqueous systems with immobilized macromolecules, including biological tissue, the longitudinal spin relaxation of water protons is primarily induced by exchange-mediated orientational randomization (EMOR) of intra- and intermolecular magnetic dipole-dipole couplings. We have embarked on a systematic program to develop, from the stochastic Liouville equation, a general and rigorous theory that c

The use of intravenous artificial oxytocin for augmentation of labour is very common in midwifery care in Sweden. Studies have shown that oxytocin is often administered to women in labour who have no signs of labour dystocia. It was the aim of this study to examine Swedish midwives' views on and experiences of labour augmentation in the context of normal labour. Individual interviews were carried

In the present study, an extended two-pore theory is presented where the porous pathways are continuously distributed according to small-and large-pore mean radii and SDs. Experimental glomerular sieving data for Ficoll were analyzed using the model. In addition, several theoretical findings are presented along with analytic solutions to many of the equations used in distributed pore modeling. The
