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

Social movements are series of sustained interactions and collective actions, contentious performances, displays and campaigns by ordinary people outside established political institutions. Yet, why do certain movements persist over a significant period of time while some do not? How do those that persist, sustain themselves and overcome constraints over time, especially those imposed by non-liber

By Marcelo Corrales Compagnucci, Janos Meszaros & Timo Minssen Empirical studies in behavioral economics have demonstrated how people are biased and often make poor decisions against their best interests. This has led policy makers to promote choice-preserving approaches, a.k.a. nudges. However, there has also been an increasingly vocal group of legal scholars who are interest in asking whethe

Both in China and internationally, educators and policy makers claim that vocational education and training (VET) is essential for the sound economic development of a country and the physical and social well-being of its population. However, China looks back upon a century-long history of rejection when it comes to popularising VET, despite attempts, both in the present and in the past, to invest

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

For some time now “Rondellen”, a roundabout just outside Folkets Park in Malmö, has been a place where drug transactions are taking place out in the open street. Buyers know that sellers will be there for a quick and easy transaction in a central part of Malmö. But why are the transactions taking place just there? A lot of people are passing by who can watch them trade or the police can come aroun

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

Friande domar i mål om sexualbrott mot barn har upprepade gånger kritiserats i samhällsdebatten. Inte minst i förhållande till att gärningsmän inte ansetts ha haft skälig anledning att anta att målsäganden varit underårig, trots så låga åldrar som 11–12 år. Kritiken har varit befogad sett till de problem som tillämpningen av 6 kap. 13 § brottsbalken innan ändringen den 1 juli 2018 omgavs av. EffekAcquittals in cases of child sexual abuse have repeatedly been criticized in the social debate. Not least when it comes to perpetrators not being considered having reason to assume that a child was under age, although the child being as young as 11-12 years old. The critique has been legitimate when regarding the problems before the change of the statutory regulation on July 1st, 2018. The efficie

A large number of photovoltaic systems have been installed in developing countries around the world during numerous projects. The goal is often to improve the quality of life in rural areas often lacking electricity. Many of these installations provide important services such as lighting and charging of various devices. However, when the projects are finished, there is a large risk that maintenanc

This study uses qualitative research by documenting experiences of social workers work-related stress in a governmental organization. The aim of this research is to investigate how social workers experience sense of coherence and how that relates to stress in their work-place. Both of these will hopefully allow for a clearer picture regarding what factors can help create a healthy workplace. Semi-

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

Due to a globalized market place, risk management has grown in importance and become a central part of firms’ corporate strategies. The incentives for engaging in risk reducing activities revolve around reduced agency costs and exploitation of financial advantages. According to the precautionary motive for holding cash, firms must ensure stable and secure access to capital for future investments.

The literature on sport for development has expanded greatly over the past decade due to recent development trends. In particular it has enjoyed success as a peer education based preventative health strategy for many HIV/AIDS affected African countries. However, there is little research that considers the voices of the young people who are both the main beneficiaries and drivers of the approach. T

Emotionell intelligens är ett växande område men det har endast i begränsad utsträckning forskats om dess betydelse i samband med rekryteringsprocesser. Pilotstudiens syfte var att undersöka huruvida individer med högre EQ-poäng bedömdes mer positivt av rekryterare gällande uppskattad anställningslämplighet. Baserat på tidigare forskning förväntades det att högre EQ skulle korrelera med en mer posEmotional intelligence is a growing field but its relevance within recruitment processes has only been limitedly explored. The aim of this pilot study was to explore whether individuals with a higher EQ score were judged more positive by recruiters on evaluated hirability? Based on previous research we expected that a higher EQ would be related to a more positive evaluation of hirability. The stud

För att vinna sakrättsligt skydd mot säljarens borgenärer i svensk rätt gäller som huvudregel att man tagit egendomen i sin besittning eller att ett rättsligt rådighetsavskärande har skett. Det är detta sakrättsliga moment som kallas för tradition och som traditionsprincipen således bygger på. Principen är inte lagstadgad utan har växt fram och utvecklats främst genom praxis. Endast köpeavtalet i In Swedish law, the general rule to win protection against the seller’s creditors, is by taking possession of the property. Since 2008 you can also get protection if the seller has been legally dispossessed of the property. The element is called traditio and that is the thing the doctrine of traditio is built upon. The doctrine has been developed through practice and has not been laid down in law.
