The main objective of this paper is to assess the impact of the flexicurity system, which was implemented in Denmark in 1994, on unemployment. The Synthetic Control Method (SCM) is used to construct a counterfactual scenario of what the situation would have been like in Denmark in the absence of the flexicurity reform. Our results suggest that the unemployment level in Denmark has been on average

In July 2013 Croatia has become the latest member state to join the European Union. Access to this single European area, in particular, to economically well-developed countries with a more robust labor market and a higher standard of living than Croatia resulted in intensification of emigration from Croatia. This has particularly affected young, well-educated Croats; ambitious, unsatisfied with th

In this thesis, I examine how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected six libraries in the Swedish public library system through interviews with employees at said libraries during the period between March 2020 to March 2021. In the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, access to digital media, the Internet and assistance from library staff have been limited. Most activities aiming to promote digital li

Hemlig övervakning är något som myndigheter uppskattar i sitt arbete mot brottslighet, men den kan även vara problematisk då den hamnar i konflikt med det grundläggande fri- och rättigheter som omfattar skyddet av den enskildes integritet. Bakgrunden i uppsatsen redogör för den personliga integriteten med koppling till lagar om tvångsmedel och därefter presenteras maktteorin utifrån Foucaults makt

Facebook is one of the most powerful internet companies worldwide with little to few alternatives on the market. With the power and size, scandals are part of the company’s history, and the public perception is ever-changing. How Facebook is viewed by the public has an impact on the company’s success, especially since it is built on its users’ data. The public opinion can be impacted by how conver

Within Social Work in Sweden, there has been a long-established tradition to work cooperatively across organizations to achieve various preventive measures, for instance with juvenile crime issues. The purpose of this study was to investigate how such cooperation across two organizations - the police force and the social services- is perceived by the professionals involved in practice. The method

Much has been written on dialogue within academic literature. It has been situated as one of the most ethical forms of communication, and it is becoming one of the most prominent theories in public relations. However, the concept remains ambiguous, and a link between theory and practice is still lacking. Against this background, this study investigates dialogue initiatives that have been taken wit

This bachelor thesis discusses and describes the development of the pre-parliamentary election cycle debates in Sweden during the 2010s. The suspicion underlying this study is that a qualitative shift in the understanding of the terms and conditions underpinning “integration” took place during this period. The method applied to study this is a dual discourse analysis, one analysis regarding the su

Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to identify motivational factors that managers within the banking sector can use in order to increase the motivation of their employees. Theoretical perspectives: Three different motivation theories have been chosen to contribute to the purpose of this study and to provide different angles of approach. These are Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's

I samband med att aktiebolag utbjuds till försäljning ställs en rad olika juridiska spörsmål på sin spets. Inför en företagsöverlåtelse bör köparen genomföra en företagsbesiktning avseende målbolaget innan transaktionen genomförs. Vid denna undersökning har både köparen och säljaren ett intresse av att målbolaget lämnar ut värdefull information, som i vissa fall kan vara konfidentiell, för att görAs a limited company is subject to an acquisition several legal issues arise. In connection with the acquisition the buyer should therefore carry out a due diligence before the transaction is completed. Both the seller and the buyer have an interest of that the target company is sharing valuable information, which could be confidential, in order to make a correct valuation of the target company. T

I takt med att coronapandemin blev mer påtaglig tvingades vårt samhälle till drastiska förändringar. När vi blev uppmanade att isolera oss ställde vi större krav på bostaden. Den skulle vara mer än bara ett ställe att bo på. Aktiviteter som vi tidigare utförde på andra platser, såsom arbete och träning, flyttade in i bostaden, och därmed blev hemmet en plats där vi spenderade både arbete och fritiAs the corona pandemic became increasingly manifest, our society was forced to make drastic changes. When we were told to quarantine, our place of residence had to provide for all the needs that could no longer be taken care of elsewhere, such as our work and workout routines. We looked to our home to fulfill these needs and thus our home became a place for both work and leisure. Our vision of wha

RTK GNSS is a way of deciding the position of a GNSS receiver with high precision. It should theoretically be possible to determine the position with the precision of a couple of centimeters. Traditionally the RTK GNSS system consists of a base station and a rover. The base station knows its position and compares that to the information it gets from the satellites in order to calculate the error.

I mitt examensarbete har jag arbetat med ett projekt i kommunen där jag bor, nämligen i Svedala. Här har det länge funnits en önskan om en attraktiv simhall från invånarnas sida, men ännu finns det ingen i kommunen. Därför tar jag chansen - på eget initiativ av mig som fristående arkitektstudent - att i mitt examensarbete gestalta ett hållbart badhus åt Svedalas invånare. Arbetet är upplagt på sIn my degree project, I have worked on a project with a sustainable swimming hall in the municipality of Svedala, where I live. Still, there is no swimming hall in the whole municipality, altough there has been an increased desire to create an attractive one that considers the needs of the residents. Therefore, I took the initiative - as an independent architecture student - to propose and design

Governments around the world have begun to adopt measures in support of electric vehicles. The supply push policies have been traditionally studied leaving the demand side innovation policy without much investigation. Therefore, policy makers lack institutional knowledge and policy experience. The demand side innovation policies have always been part of the public policy decisions but not part of

När den globala marknaden ökar och e-handeln utvecklas blir lageraktiviteterna alltmer viktiga för företag. Lager i sig adderar inte något extra värde på de produkter eller varor som lagras i dem, utan generar enbart värde till kunder genom att kunna erbjuda de produkter som de efterfrågar i rätt tid, i rätt kvantitet och kvalitet. Således blir det viktigt för företag att studera processerna i ettThe warehouse activities have become more important as the global market increases and the e-commerce develops. Warehouses do not add any extra value to the items that are stored in them, but only to customers by providing them with their orders at the time they want it, in the right quality and in the right amount. This leads to the importance of studying the processes in a warehouse, and how the
