Idag omfattas de flesta arbetare av omställningsavtal men vetskapen om dessa, dess funktioner och betydelse för både arbetsgivare och arbetstagare är begränsad. Analysen som gjorts i uppsatsen, kommer fram till att omställningsavtalen underlättar för arbetsgivaren att göra val om vilka medarbetare som skall stanna vid en arbetsbrist. För arbetstagaren innebär det att det finns ett stöd men garanteToday, most workers are covered by adjustment agreements, but knowledge of these, their functions and their significance for both employers and employees is limited. The analysis made in the essay concludes that the adjustment agreements make it easier for the employer to make choices about which employees should stay in the event of a work shortage. For the employee, this means that there is supp

Förhandlingsforskning har fokuserat på den distributiva förhandlingen och delvis förbisett viktiga socialpsykologiska variabler. Syftet med studien var att analysera socialpsykologiska subjektiva faktorer och bidra till förhandlingsforskningen, genom att identifiera vilka av studiens subjektiva faktorer som värderades högst i dels en privat, dels en affärsrelaterad förhandling samt undersöka om upNegotiation research has focused on the distributive negotiation and partly overlooked important social psychological variables.

Genom den externa dimensionen av EUs migrations policys har EU och medlemsstaterna alltmer börjat använda sig av externaliseringsåtgärder som ett sätt att få till bukt på de irreguljära migrationsströmmar som når unionens externa gränser. Åtgärderna är karaktäriserade av inhemska handlingar med extraterritoriella effekter vilka leder till ökad migrationskontroll i de tredjeländerna som åtgärderna Through the external dimension of the EU migration policy, the EU and its member states have increasingly employed externalization measures as a means of stemming the irregular migration flows that reach the external borders of the Union.

In recent years whistleblowing has increased. At the same time, the hybrid media culture has allowed whistleblowers to further participate in, and influence narratives. Previous research demonstrates both the increased impact of whistleblowers and the relevance of the two-step flow model in the hybrid media landscape. What is not investigated, however, is the relationship between whistleblowers

The study of how regional and global resources are allocated geographically, the incentives for these trends, and what strategies can be used to prevent adverse effects between economic core areas and peripheral areas, are key themes in economic geography, and of crucial interest in studies of regional development. This paper addresses these issues in light of the relationship between the emerging

Under 2010-talet drabbades både Centralafrikanska Republiken och Jemen av väpnade konflikter som resulterade i humanitära kriser. Trots detta genomförde FN endast en humanitär intervention i den Centralafrikanska Republiken. Studien ämnar undersöka om nationella intressen hos FN:s säkerhetsråds permanenta medlemmar ligger till grund för denna inkonsekvens. Som avgränsning undersöks endast Frankrik

The development of Mälaräng in the southwestern part of Stockholm aims to bridge the social and economic gap in between neighboring areas Mälarhöjden and Bredäng.

Empirical EKC literature has conceptual flaws that arise due to the inclusion of polynomials and cointegrating relationships of powers of integrated processes. Additionally, previous studies focused on a narrow nexus between environmental degradation and economic growth that yield only a partial EKC. Considering hereinabove mentioned points the aim of this study is to assess the EKC hypothesis in

A part of a semi-supervised learning pipeline is built to improve the classification of humans and animals in a home security detector. An AI teacher model that automatically labels data, which is then in turn used to improve a light-weight AI student model is created. The AI teacher is trained on existing labelled household camera image data. Approaches with leveraged convolutional neural nets an
