Fundraisers either ask for one time donations, or sign up people to give on a monthly basis, in this thesis the focus is on the latter. For this method to be useful all fundraisers must meet their target goal, meaning that they must get a certain amount of sign ups when they work. By using d
Compassion fatigue is often used interchangeably with burnout and secondary traumatic stress in literature. There is, however, theoretical support for considering compassion fatigue as a separate condition.

Den traditionella synen i fordringsmål är att den borgenär som kräver betalning på grund av påstådd försträckning måste styrka att denne har en fordran mot utpekad gäldenär. Denna utgångspunkt slogs fast i Högsta domstolens dom NJA 1975 s. 577 och har sedan dess varit huvudregeln i fordringsmål. I samband med 1975 års avgörande lanserades en särskild presumtionsregel.
