Trygghetsbegreppet är un

Revisorers skadeståndsansvar är en fråga som varit föremål för diskussion under de senaste två decennierna. Frågan har också varit föremål för rättsfall vid flera tillfällen där de mest framstående rättegångarna varit Prosolvia-målet 2013 och BDO-målet 2014. Dessa mål skulle komma att forma framtiden för rättsläget för revisorers skadeståndsansvar och möjligheten att begränsa detta ansvar, vilket Auditors’ liability is a question that has been discussed in multitude for the last two decades.

Flow cytometry (FCM) is a powerful method for analysing cell characteristics, for cell quantification and for separation of different species. An automated FCM processing pipeline for lactic acid bacteria (LAB) was developed, and an analytical pipeline for co-cultures of LAB and Saccharomyces cerevisiae was designed. Data processing pipelines for Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 sampled over

The global surge in plastic production, particularly single-use packaging, has triggered pressing environmental and health concerns. Addressing this crisis necessitates transformative shifts within the plastic packaging system, prioritizing the reduction, reuse, and recycling of plastic packaging.

”What is human trafficking?” At first sight of this seemingly innocent question, it is difficult to imagine the implications and controversies that it contains.

But when the trade of human beings that increasingly grew in size was no longer possible to ignore, the United Nations tried

Syftet med denna studie var att ta reda på om rollförväntningar, social interaktion samt demografisk data kunde predicera om brevbärare drivs av inre eller yttre motivation. Ytterligare ett syfte var att ta reda på om dessa faktorer kunde förklara någon unik varians i den yttre eller inre motivationen. En enkät sändes till 120 brevbärare på 10 olika kontor och svarsfrekvensen var 80 procent. 28 peThe purpose with this study was to explore if role expectance, social interaction and demographic data could predict whether a person derives from extrinsic or intrinsic motivation.

The recycling sector and the solid waste management systems (SWMS) in developing countries greatly rely on scavengers, a vulnerable and marginal urban population that recover items or materials to be reused or recycled. As a new mindset towards waste emerges, considering it a resource instead of something useless and undesirable; governments, NGOs, private companies and other stakeholders slowly r

Sustainability Science (SS) has, as of today, no explicit agreement on which philosophy of science should be used to guide its research. Though SS is a broad and often diffuse concept, there are certain guiding principles which are generally agreed on. Based on these principles, it has been seen if Critical Realism (CR) could be an appropriate meta-theory for SS. The approach used is therefore pri

I Sverige uppskattas den offentliga upphandlingen omsätta omkring 500 miljoner kronor per år. Dessa stora ekonomiska värden ger det offentliga makt att påverka privata aktörer och gör att upphandling kan bli ett viktigt politiskt styrmedel. I vilken utsträckning socialpolitiska målsättningar ska kunna främjas genom offentlig upphandling har dock varit föremål för diskussion. I den här uppsatsen haIn Sweden, public procurement annually accounts for approximately SEK 500 million. With these large economic values, the public has the power to influence private actors. In this way, procurement can be an important policy tool. To what extent public procurement can be used to promote social objectives has been subject to discussion. In this essay, I have chosen to investigate the scope provided f
