Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka effektiviteten av GDPR som ett verktyg för att skydda arbetstagare från negativa konsekvenser som kan uppstå i samband med algoritmisk arbetsledning. Algoritmisk arbetsledning är ett allmänt förekommande fenomen speciellt i plattformsekonomin, som avser användningen av automatiserade medel för att styra arbetstagare i utförandet av det dagliga arbetet. AutThe purpose of this thesis is to examine the effectiveness of the GDPR as a tool for protection for algorithmically managed workers in light of the standard of protection offered for working conditions in the EU. Algorithmic management refers to the use of automated means to direct, sanction and evaluate workers without human involvement, and it is an especially prevalent phenomenon in the platfor

Att tvångsomhänderta ett barn är ett undantag från svensk inställning att vård ska ske genom frivillighet. Det är inget som görs lättvindigt och det krävs att det finns en påtaglig risk för att barnets hälsa eller utveckling annars kommer till skada. Men hur stora krav finns det i samband med vårdens avslutande, var ligger fokus när den bedömningen görs? Syftet med detta arbetet är att titta på föTo take a child into public care against the parents will is an exception from the Swedish standpoint that all care should be given on a voluntary basis. It requires that there is a noticeable risk that the child's health or development will come to harm. But what are the demands when deciding whether the care should come to an end? Where is the focus in that process? The aim of this study is

In recent decades, the need to tackle mental health issues and promote mental well-being has been increasingly put in the socio-political spotlight. As a first step towards creating a European strategy on mental health, the European Commission published the Green Paper, Improving the mental health of the population: Towards a strategy on mental health for the European Union in 2005. This master’s

A review of the literature was conducted in order to comprehen

Syftet med fallstudien är att skapa en djupare förståelse av hur partnering tillämpas i byggbranschen. Aktörernas synpunkter ska presenteras för att skapa ett flersidigt perspektiv på hur man arbeta med projektpartnering. Arbetet inleddes med en litteraturstudie för att utforma en teoretisk referensram. Därefter gjordes en kvalitativ studie där primärdata samlades in med hjälp av semistruktureradeThe primary goal of this case study is to create a deeper understanding of partnering in the construction sector. The study will present the viewpoints of both the developer and contractors that were present in the project in order to ensure a multifaceted view of partnering. The work was initiated with a literature study to build a theoretical background. This was followed by a qualitative study

The global human rights regime can only recognise rights that are already known and given, what I’m calling constituted human rights. This mantra poses some immediate obstacles: it effectively invisibilises issues of the productivity and antagonism of human rights movements, the unknown and indeterminate future, and human rights that don’t yet exist. This thesis is an effort to disclose, through c

A semi-flexible pavement is a composite material consisting of an open-graded asphalt skeleton with an air void content between 25 - 35% that is filled with a cement sludge. Limited research has been done regarding factors which can affect the mechanical properties of this material. Therefore, this study explores the affect the penetration value of a bitumen has on the stiffness of a semi-flexible

Background With obesity levels on the rise globally, it is necessary to create a healthier food environment and increase access to nourishing and palatable foods. Dietary fibre consumption has been proven to be one of the best ways to prevent cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Glucanova AB developed an oat bran and barley-based product and investigated the daylong effect on glucose respo

This thesis aims to analyze the methods of existing studies on the relationship be- tween energy intensity and economic variables. I study panel data from 42 countries to examine the cointegration between energy intensity and GDP, capital stock, pop- ulation, and CO2 emissions as well as estimate their relationship with a pooled common correlated effects (CCEP) estimator. Then I investigate the he

The European Union (EU) is the largest provider of development aid in the world, considering the funds given by its institutions and Member States. Development cooperation has been a central policy theme since the Treaty of Rome in 1957, thus constituting a significant sphere of the EU’s foreign affairs. In this context, the concept of partnership covers a meaningful role, and has lately gained mo

The main objective of our study is to gain a more comprehensive understanding of how employees experience the utilization of a LXP to foster the learning flow within the organization. To address this issue, we challenge Jenkin's (2013) 5I framework, which did not consider the emergence of barriers to using and thus supporting learning flow through tools. This study involves qualitative researc

This master thesis study presents the results of sediment transport analysis along Viskan, located in south Sweden. The main processes cover building a hydrodynamic model, studying parameters that define sediment transport, modelling sediment transport within the river, mapping out erosive stretches and comparing to observed eroded locations, and finally comparison of different transport functions

As the world's population grows, concerns about water scarcity and rising pollution such as phosphorus and nitrogen have increased significantly. Greywater has been considered by researchers as an ideal alternative to fresh water for decades, and several projects have been implemented to treat and recycle it for various reuse purposes. Greywater, which makes up about 80% of household water con

Previous studies have found what is referred to as a dilution effect of nondiagnostic information when subjects make evaluative judgment tasks of future performance, meaning that the presence of nondiagnostic information makes predictions less extreme. However, a large study recently failed to replicate this effect. The hypothesis of this study is that judges can discard from obviously irrelevant

Simulation mimics the behaviour of real world processes or the system over time. It helps us to understand the impact of modification and the effect of introducing various interventions to a system. One such simulation method is known as Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, which has been utilized to evaluate the performance of digital communication systems over the last 70 years. MC has been the most ex

Today, it is difficult to take care of organs that could have been donated to patients. In Sweden around 92 000 people die every year yet less than 200 of them become kidney donors. UGLK Science AB has developed a patented technology for restoring kidney function which increases the time window for donations significantly. In this project, the exterior of the kidney perfusion machine used for this

Sweden was once known for its open and generous refugee reception, with a mindset that was different from its neighbouring countries. However, this has changed in recent years. Due to an increased influx of people seeking asylum in Sweden, restrictive measures were put in place. The political discourse on migration shifted from a welcoming narrative to enforcing border controls and limiting access

Processed food is a big contribution to the increasing intake of salt among the population, which today is the double of the recommendation stated by the World Health Organization. This high intake of salt affects the human health in such a way that it can increase blood pressure, which in turn can lead to cardiovascular diseases, which are already the main cause of death cause among the world’s p
