This thesis examines whether the legal presumption of employment introduced in Directive (EU) 2024/2831 on improving working conditions in platform work will be of legal significance in countering the misclassification of people performing platform work in the European Union. The thesis first analyses the EU concept of worker and shows that the notion of worker is not uniform within the EU. It th
The fluctuation of the Svalbard Barents Sea Ice Sheet is relatively well constrained during the Late Weichselian, yet its behaviour before the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) remains elusive. Inter-fjord areas, largely covered by cold-based, non-erosive ice, have a higher preservation potential for older terrestrial records than fjord areas that were dominated by active ice streams during the Last Glac
This study explored how fans gain and maintain status through consumption practices in online pop music fan communities, focusing on the role of consumption, peer evaluation, platform visibility, and artist participation. Drawing on Bourdieu’s concepts of capital and symbolic violence, Thornton’s subcultural capital theory, and Lamont’s symbolic boundaries, the study examined how status is constru
This thesis examines the conditions under which the triangular simplification mechanism under Article 141 of the VAT Directive may apply to quadrangular chain transactions involving four taxable persons established or identified for VAT purposes across multiple Member States. The triangular simplification mechanism relieves the intermediary operator in a three-party chain transaction from register
Denna studie undersöker hur infrastruktur och planering för aktiva färdsätt skiljer sig åt mellan Rosengård och Västra Hamnen, samt huruvida dessa skillnader återspeglar principer om mobilitetsrättvisa. Trots att Malmö är internationellt erkänt för hållbar stadsutveckling är staden alltjämt en av Sveriges mest socioekonomiskt segregerade städer. Studien tillämpar en komparativ kvalitativ design meThis study examines how active travel infrastructure and planning differ between Rosengård and Västra Hamnen, and whether those differences reflect principles of mobility justice. Although internationally recognized for sustainable urban development, Malmö remains one of Sweden's most socio-economically segregated cities. The study employs a comparative qualitative design with mobility justice
Narratives surrounding AI-technology have long been a fixture in news media, ranging from stories rooted in science-fiction, where robots take over the world, to reports on breakthroughs in machine-learning, which help doctors make better medical decisions. These narratives simultaneously highlight present-day shifts in social practices as well as paving the way for future visions of a society sha
Investeringssparkonto (ISK) infördes den 1 januari 2012 som en schablonbeskattad sparform för fysiska personer. I stället för att beskattas för faktiska utdelningar och kapitalvinster erlägger innehavaren en årlig skatt beroende på ett kapitalunderlag som approximativt motsvarar portföljens förväntade avkastning. Systemet är kon-struerat med utgångspunkt i en inhemsk skattemässig kontext. När inneThe Swedish Investment Savings Account (ISK) is a lump-sum taxed savings vehicle introduced on 1 January 2012. Instead of being taxed on actual dividends and capital gains, the account holder pays an annual tax calculated on a deemed capital base approximating the portfolio’s expected return. When foreign listed shares are held in an ISK, a complication arises: the source state’s right to withhold

The analysis focuses on three areas in which the Directive leaves Membe
This study aims to examine how school counselors perceive and understand school absenteeism and to deepen the understanding of the factors that may contribute to the construction of school absenteeism as a problem. The main questions this study aims to answer are how school counselors see and understand the problem of school absenteeism and what they understand to be its potential causes. We inter
Voluntary biodiversity credits (biocredits) are increasingly promoted as a tool to mobilize private finance for biodiversity conservation and restoration. Yet, little is known about how actors understand their purpose and legitimacy and how they expect future biocredit markets to develop under which conditions. This thesis examined shared meanings and diverging expectations among organizational st
Sweden positions digital health as a means of achieving "good and equal health and welfare," yet how these systems are experienced by those positioned outside their design remains insufficiently understood. Employing the concept of affective atmospheres and conceptualising digital health as a spatial artefact, this study uses semi-structured interviews with seven migrants (aged 24-35) in
This study aims to identify differences in media discourses regarding nuclear power during two periods of time following big nuclear political decisions in Sweden (2011 and 2024). Furthermore, it investigates whether there are any connections between the types of nuclear risks highlighted in the media and the public risk perception. The results show that in 2011, the media coverage extensively foc
The academic librarian’s mission of facilitating free access to knowledge has endured even as forms of librarianship have evolved. Since the introduction of the internet and the subsequent shift from physical to digital knowledge dissemination, additional ethical and practical considerations have emerged. One such consideration is the existence of black open access and shadow libraries, born out o
