This thesis contends that focus within the leadership research has often been either on leaders or followers instead of acknowledging both parties. Similarly, fragmentation and ambiguity among followers’ constructions has often been ignored, underestimating the complexity of leadership as a social construction process. Additionally, even within more relational and social constructionist views, the
The universalistic understanding of the subject embedded in the Liberal and Marxist traditions together with contrasting accounts of unconstrained agency fail to explain the contingencies of ground responses that call for social change.

Rätten till familjeåterförening stadgas i såväl EU:s Familjeåterföreningsdirektiv som i den svenska utlänningslagen. Principen om familjens enhet, allas likhet inför lagen och barnets bästa är principer av stor vikt inom både internationell, europeisk och svensk rätt. Trots principer som att familjen ska hållas samman och att det ska göras vad som är möjligt för att återförena splittrade familjer,The right to family reunification is regulated in both the Family Reunification Directive of the European Union and in the Swedish Aliens Act. The principles of the family as a unit, all individuals equality towards the law and the child’s best interests, are principles of high importance in International, European and Swedish law.

When installing an insertion device (ID) in a storage ring the electron beam is affected. The positional displacement and angle deflection is called orbit displacement (OD) and higher order effects such as focusing of the electron beam are referred to as linear optics. The ability to perform multiple simultaneous experiments is crucial in a synchrotron light source such as MAX IV. This is impossib
Kritik har riktats mot bedömningarna av svenska asylärenden grundade på sexuell läggning. Kritiken mot bedömningarna i dessa mål riktar sig främst mot att bevisvärderingen verkar grundas på subjektiva eller fördomsfulla antaganden, och avsaknaden av legitima bedömningsgrunder för att avgöra trovärdighet och tillförlitlighet i de muntliga utsagorna. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att utifrån etThe assessments of Swedish asylum cases based on sexual orientation has been criticized. The criticism of the assessments in these cases primarily regards the fact that the evaluation of evidence appears to be based on subjective or prejudicial assumptions, and also the lack of legitimate grounds for determining credibility and reliability in the oral statements.

Då smarttelefoner på kort tid har blivit oumbärliga verktyg i många människors vardag har frågor kring hur användare psykiskt påverkas av dem väckts. Studier har funnit samband mellan smarttelefonanvändning och psykisk ohälsa, men i många fall baserat på bristfälliga data. Den här studien syftade att vidare undersöka sambandet mellan smarttelefonanvändning och upplevd psykisk ohälsa samt att underSmartphones have rapidly become indispensable tools in everyday life, leading to questions about their psychological impact on users. Studies have found associations between smartphone use and mental health problems, but in many cases based on insufficient data.

Sexualbrottsoffer vågar inte anmäla det dem utsatts för, inte av rädsla för förövaren utan av rädsla för själva processen. Juridiken ses som en egen suverän organisation, frånskild verklighetens problem och individer. När brottsoffret väl anmäler och går in i denna rättsliga bubbla, är det inte offrets verkliga behov och rättigheter som är styrande för processen. Istället används sexualbrottsofferVictims of sexual crime do not dare to report the assault they were subjected to, not for fear of the perpetrator but for fear of the criminal process itself. The legal system is seen as a sovereign organization, out of touch with the reality, and out of touch with the problems and individuals of the society. If, however, the victim reports the crime and through that enters this legal bubble, it i
Det våld som män utövar mot kvinnor är en strukturell företeelse i samhället. Våldet beror på maktstrukturer, varigenom mannen är överordnad kvinnan. Detta våld brukar benämnas ”sexualiserat våld”, eftersom det relaterar till sexualitet och maktförhållanden. Det kvinnliga brottsoffret som utsätts för våld i en nära relation, bemöter föreställningar om kön och om ideala brottsoffer. De föreställniThe violence that men exercise against women is a structural phenomenon in society. The violence is a result of power structures, by which the man is superior to the woman.

The construction of a building does not always work the way it appears to work. Within a theoretical framework rooted in writings by Eduard Sekler, Karl Bötticher and Martin Heidegger, this thesis presents a discussion on the importance of the tectonic expression when designing a building with the intent that it should be easy to disassemble. Is it enough to make a building dismountable, or does t

Ska hyvling ses som omreglering av anställningsvillkoren eller som en omplacering enligt anställningsskyddslagen? Detta kan beskrivas som en process i två steg där omreglering och omplacering egentligen inte bör jämföras då de har olika rättsliga utgångar. Det är främst en avtalsrättslig fråga men som är av stor betydelse i ett arbetsrättsligt perspektiv där det finns en komplexitet i hur omreglerPlaning the employment can partly be seen as re-regulation of the employment terms or as a relocation according to the Employment Protection Act. It is primarily a contractual issue but which is of great importance in a labor law perspective where there is a complexity in how the re-regulation should actually be handled where legal cases and doctrine may provide guidance.
