Arbetsgivarens möjlighet att beordra arbete på övertid är många gånger en nödvändighet för att verksamheten ska fungera. De senaste åren har det emellertid både rapporterats om ett högt övertidsuttag och en bristande psykosocial arbetsmiljö med hög arbetsbelastning inom flertalet branscher. I denna uppsats är syftet att utreda den rättsliga regleringen för övertids-uttag, där arbetsgivarens rätt aThe possibility for the employer to order overtime work can sometimes be necessary for the business to work.

Klimatförändringen är en av vår tids viktigaste frågor. Konsekvenserna av höjda temperaturer och havsnivåer är redan synliga på vissa håll i världen. Effekterna riskerar att för evigt förändra livsvillkoren för ekosystem, djur och människor. Vår uppfattning kring klimat- och hållbarhetsfrågor påverkas av hur den framställs i vår omgivning. Det kan vara via massmedia men det kan också vara genom Title: Climate Change as Experience - A Study on Climate- and Sustainability Communication in Museums Public perception on climate- and sustainability issues is shaped by how they are presented in media and by other communicative actors - like museums.

Organizations struggle to rapidly respond to competitive and changing business environments and therefore implement smarter Information Systems that incorporate automated decision services. An imminent role for complementing automated decision making are analytics, as it can evaluate past performances to provide insights on potential future decision making endeavors. While the consensus on how ana

Mobile business intelligence (MBI) handlar som namnet antyder om en mobil variant av traditionell business intelligence (BI). Det senaste årtiondets explosionsartade framfart för smarta telefoner och surfplattor har givit nya förutsättningar för användandet av MBI. I övergången från skapandet av traditionella BI-lösningar till MBI-lösningar kan en del barriärer uppstå och det är dessa vi i denna u

Social media is a field that is developing quickly. A field that brings both risks and opportunities for companies. It has become especially important for startups since using it requires only a small amount of resources. Even though many startups realize the value potentials with using social media, effective utilization of it still poses a daunting challenge to many of them. Based on a combinati

When experience is insufficient or not present at all, making decisions becomes difficult. Capability assessments are tools to inform decisions in all situations regarding risk management, but the use of them in Sweden is discussed. With experiments made in the microworld MikroRisk, conclusions can be made about the investment patterns induced by a capability assessment under the conditions of bot

The current fashion system known as Fast Fashion (FF) is responsible for severe environmental and social impacts. Fashion democratisation has increased consumers’ appetite for new trends, leading fashion companies to design an increasing number of collections per year. Manufacturing is outsourced to developing countries, where workers’ rights and working place regulations are hardly respected. Add

This paper examines the stability of Islamic banks and conventional banks during and after the recent global crisis by determining the impact of the crisis on the banks’ stability. This was accomplished by measuring the z-score (the stability measure) for both types, with 96 observations of 12 banks in 4 countries where both types of banks have significant market share. This analysis suggests that

Vid de flesta processer som innefattar insamlande av data kan det ibland uppstå problem som gör att all data inte samlas in korrekt. När detta händer uppstår det tomma platser i datan där värden saknas. Det finns många sätt att hantera dessa tomma platser och i många fall kan man bortse från dem. Om ett komplett dataset behövs för analys kan så kallade imputationsmetoder användas för att fylla i dImputation of data is the process of filling in missing values in an incomplete data set. Missing data is a common problem in many fields, not least in clinical research. This report aims to evaluate different methods for imputing missing data in health records of dialysis patients. The imputed data will, in a related project, be used to predict hospitalizations of dialysis patients. The hope is t

Den här uppsatsen undersökte vilka variabler som påverkar lån utfärdade på P2P-lånsplattformen Bondoras sannolikhet att gå i fallissemang. Tidigare har forskning visat att ett behov hos långivare finns om att bättre kunna använda information om låntagare för att förutse fallissemang. Genom regressionsanalys har uppsatsen identifierat olika variabler som kan förklara sannolikheten för fallissemang.

Vår värld kan beskrivas av hur fermioner interagerar via att utbyta bosoner. Fermioner är partiklar som utgör materias beståndsdelar, som till exempel elektroner, och bosoner är partiklar som till exempel fotoner (ljuspartiklar) som utbyts mellan laddade partiklar i elektromagnetisk växelverkan. Hur fermioner och bosoner uppför sig kan beskrivas med en kvantfältteori via hur olika fält interagerarThe equivalence of the sine-Gordon model and the massive Thirring model, (1+1) dimensional theories of a single scalar field respectively a single Dirac field, is derived by two alternative approaches. The equivalence is derived by a comparison of the perturbation expansions of the correlation functions of the theories around the corresponding massless theories. The alternative derivation of the e
