Tidigare forskning har visat att attraktiva personer bedöms vara mer kompetenta och bättre lämpade i rekryteringssituationer jämfört med mindre attraktiva personer (Hosoda, Stone-Romero & Coats, 2003). Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka sambandet mellan attraktivitet och bedömning vid rekryteringar närmre. Hur bedöms attraktiva och oattraktiva individer i förhållande till medelattraktivPrior research shows that in regards to hiring, attractive people are perceived as being more competent and well suited for a job compared to less attractive peers (Hosoda, Stone-Romero & Coats, 2003). The purpose of this study has been to further examine the relationship between attractiveness and ratings of job-candidates. How do attractive and unattractive individuals compare to individuals

Our thesis examines how social services are portrayed and reviewed in media. We chose to focus on two cases from two different townships, brought to attention by a Swedish TV show called Uppdrag granskning during two different coverages. The cases are called “Mardrömmen” and “Processen”. These cases involve children and their families who have been in contact with social services regarding allegat

Arbetstagare som presterar upphovsrättsliga verk inom ramen för en anställning omfattas av två huvudsakliga regelverk: det arbetsrättsliga och det immaterialrättsliga. Inget av regelverken innehåller uttryckliga bestämmelser för sådana verk som uppkommer under en anställning, med undantag för bestämmelsen i 40 a § URL avseende datorprogram. Vägledning får därför sökas i andra rättskällor. AvseendeFor an employee creating property that can be subject to copyright, two regulations apply: the intellectual property law and the employment law. In Swedish statutory law, however, it is not stated when the employer is entitled to take over the copyrights for property created by the employee. This is further complicated by the fact that the copyright law recognises the creator of the property as th

Samvets- och religionsfrihet är skyddade rättigheter enligt Europakonventionen. I svensk rätt däremot, skyddas enbart religionsfriheten. Åberopande av samvetsfrihet är inte helt ovanligt vid abortvård, då det finns vårdpersonal som av religiösa och samvetsbetänkliga skäl inte vill delta i sådan vård. Våren 2017 avgjordes ett mål i Arbetsdomstolen som handlade om just en barnmorska som nekats anstäFreedom of conscience and religion are both protected rights under the European Convention, though only the freedom of religion is a protected right under national Swedish law. The right to conscientious objection, on the other hand, is not a protected right according to national Swe-dish law. Conscientious objection is not completely unusual in abortion care, where individuals wish to not partici

The area of intellectual property is an old form of protection that has constantly been forced to adapt itself to new technologies. The digital age has made this fact even more clear and has really put the thought of IP as a commodity to the test. There are those who claim that the concept of intellectual property is obsolete and needs to be replaced. The purpose of this thesis is to see whether o

The aim of our study was to examine how gender is created in the school world and how it affects the work with boys and girls. The questions we intended to look at were: How do you respond to ADHD in the school world depending on the sex of the child, and how does it differ; What difficulties do you face in the school world when working with boys and girls with ADHD, and how do you try to solve th

Slash fiction was once a marginalized genre, but with the coming of Internet it is now growing larger; one example of this is the expanding popularity of the Harry Potter fandom. With the rising popularity comes a flourishing discussion on the subject, often leading to interesting and inventive ideas from the slash community. Our interest in the phenomenon of slash fiction, in which existing fict

In Sweden, tutoring in the mother tongue is a special support measure primarily intended for newly arrived students to facilitate their transition into the Swedish school system. Tutoring is premised on the collaboration between the class teacher, responsible for subject-related expertise, and the tutor, who contributes with knowledge of the student’s mother tongue and previous context of studies.

Remains of a basilican round church were discovered in 1877–78 in Tønsberg, Norway, and identified as the Premonstratensian monastery church of Saint Olav. The round church has been interpreted as fortified with several floors using Nylars on Bornholm in Denmark as a model – or as symbolic copy of Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, although Templar churches have also been mentioned as models. The church

By the late 1960s, the largest Scandinavian film companies had all closed their sound stages and markedly lowered their annual ambitions with regard to production. This may be seen as a response to several different phenomena. First, television, a medium that was introduced in the region from the mid-1950s on, meant that films lost their habitual audience. Second, the introduction of film support

Beyond biomimicry! We are at a threshold where technology and life converge, where living machines modify and adapt the environments that they construct and persist within. Who is working at this frontier? How are scientists, engineers, programmers, designers and biologists converging to capture organismal construction algorithms from nature and play them back to emerging swarm robotic and digital
