Att arbeta hemifrån har de senaste åren blivit allt vanligare. Inför framtiden spås att den fysiska, ordinarie arbetsplatsen kommer att bli än mindre viktig och att fler kommer att vilja arbeta på distans helt eller delvis. Ett reviderat EU-direktiv ger dessutom småbarnsföräldrar och anhörigvårdare möjlighet att begära att få arbeta på distans av omsorgsskäl. Arbetsmarknadens parter har sedan längIn recent years working from home has become much more prevalent. It is predicted that the physical, regular workplace will become even less important in the future and that more people will want to work remotely in whole or in part. A revised EU directive gives parents of young children and carers the opportunity to request to work remotely for care reasons. Early on, Sweden’s labour market partn

Med en ökad globalisering i världen sker fler gränsöverskridande situationer mellan två länder som på ett eller annat sätt påverkar både företag och de enskilda. Denna uppsats fokuserar på vad som, skattemässigt, kan ske för den enskilda i en gränsöverskridande situation. Vid en sådan situation finns det risk för att den skattskyldige utsätts för en dubbelbeskattning då både hemviststaten och källWith increased globalization in the world, there are more cross-border situations between two countries that in one way or another affect both companies and individuals. This essay focuses on what, for tax purposes, can happen to the individual in a cross-border situation. In such a situation, there is a risk that the taxpayer will be subject to double taxation as both the state of residence and t

The continued increase of greenhouse gas emissions and the growing danger this poses has led to the emergence of several strategies to guide society away from further environmental degradation. Green growth is the pertinent global strategy, it calls for continued growth with the hopes to advance toward technocratic solutions. Conversely, the degrowth movement has emerged as a counter-hegemonic cri

The objectives for this thesis is to further develop a finite element analysis methodology where the material history is evaluated in every step. The processing of the plate from coil to fully formed plate mounted in a heat exchanger should be taken into consideration. Material phenomena such as necking and springback are important to capture. The first attempt was to do the simulation in ANSYS.

Conflicts are destructive for humans and societies, but are openings for rebuilding a more inclusive and sustainable society presented in the aftermath of conflict? This paper contributes to the growing research field and examines the link between conflict and window of opportunity for development, through a gender lens. Further, this study seeks to understand how conflict affected women’s socio

Radicalization is a debated concept and should a consensus arrive on its meaning, the ambiguity of the process would most likely remain. This research paper does not side with any model of radicalization but instead chooses to focus on one concept present in much of this research, namely grievance. Through the horizontal inequality thesis, grievance is operationalized as an inequality pertaining t

På grund av ökat miljö- och klimatmedvetande har det under senaste tiden lagts stor kraft på forskning och utvecklingen av byggnaders miljöpåverkan. Betong där för stora andelar av koldioxidutsläppen och för att kunna minska betongmängden som används krävs mer arbete kring optimering av konstruktionsdelar med hänsyn till klimatavtrycket. Forskningen kring klimatoptimering av både husstommar och bjDue to increased environmental and climate awareness, great emphasis has been placed on both research and development of environmental impact of buildings. Scientific research on climate optimization of both structural frames and floors is well developed. However, equally large environmental improvements have not yet been made for foundations of large buildings. There are still no obvious alternat

The world stands often in the face of moral contentions, determining certain people or events as worthy of security whilst ignoring others. The conscience of watching silently as the genocide in Rwanda unfolded has weighed heavily on the international community’s shoulders, seemingly not heavy enough to refrain from repeating the same mistake however. The role “the visual” plays in framing securit

The field of research on military intervention is usually based on grand theories in international relations. This thesis argues that understanding can be created through a narrower approach where narratives and discourses are examined. Therefore, this study intends to examine how strategic narratives are used at the political level to justify international military operations. The thesis bases it

Den svenska kulturskolan har aldrig haft krav på att undervisningen ska regleras via läroplaner. Trots detta finns en liten andel kulturskolor och kulturskolelärare som arbetar efter läroplaner. Studiens syfte är att få en djupare förståelse för tre saxofonlärares förhållningssätt kring en läroplan i saxofonundervisning vid kulturskola. Ett vidare syfte är att undersöka vilka moment en eventuell lThe Swedish art and music school has never had a requirement to be regulated via curricula. Despite this, there is a small proportion of schools and teachers who work according to curricula. The aim of the study is to gain a deeper understanding of three saxophone teachers' approaches to a curriculum in saxophone teaching at the Swedish art and music school. A further aim is to investigate whi

Communication research has identified listening as a key skill in the sensemaking process. However, little is known about the practical implementation of listening by practitioners and about its strategic values to the organization.

Efterfrågan av digitala verktyg i skolor har ökat de senaste åren och idag är det enligt Skolverket ett krav att använda digitala verktyg i matematik. Digitala matematiska verktyg kan förse elever med automatisk återkoppling och lärare kan anpassa sitt sätt att undervisa, baserat på elevernas progression. Trots att det finns flera fördelar med att inkludera digitala matematiska verktyg, finns det The demand for digital tools in schools has increased over the years and today it is a requirement from the Swedish National Agency for Education to use digital tools in mathematics.
