Äldre anställdas ställning på arbetsmarknaden är onekligen osäker. I detta arbete försöker jag att räta ut och förstå hur äldre arbetstagare är skyddade på arbetsmarknaden genom att undersöka hur gällande rätt är designat. Detta görs genom en komparativ studie mellan Sverige och Kina, där en rad olika undersökningsområden kopplat till anställningsskydd för äldre bearbetas. Arbetet berör och förkla

The field of Quaternary science has, through a long history of high-quality research, produced a vast record of evidence regarding ice sheet dynamics. Consequently, our understanding of such processes and their effects are well understood. However, historically the predominant focus has been of a loose sediment perspective, which has resulted in limited insight into ice-bedrock dynamics. This is i

Electric cars are by many considered a sustainable solution to the ever-growing demand for road vehicles and fuel. The transportation sector is responsible for almost a third of the total greenhouse gas emissions globally and approximately 80% of these emissions can be attributed to road vehicles. Thus, there is an urgent need for a shift away from fossil fuels in the sector. While the consumer in

Den globala uppvärmningen har stora effekter på det subarktiska ekosystemet i norra Sverige. De ökande temperaturerna i dessa ekosystem har lett till ett tinande av permafrosten i marken. Permafrosten innehåller stora mängder kol och när tjälen i marken försvinner blir detta kol tillgängligt för nedbrytning av mikrober i marken. Denna nedbrytning av kol i kombination med en våtare mark leder till The northern permafrost regions are experiencing a rapid warming as surface temperatures are rising, causing a disintegration of permafrost and a deepening of the active layer (AL). This releases previously frozen carbon, making it available for decomposition by microbes. The combination of the high microbial activity and overall wetter soils may cause anoxic conditions and in turn methane (CH4) a

Anthropogenic climate change has increased the frequency of extreme drought events and leads to “hotter” droughts. Topography controls plant available water and site-specific climatic conditions. Drought sensitivity may therefore vary over short distances between wet and dry locations of the landscape. However, topography is rarely included as a factor in research investigating vegetation dynamics

An estimated 6% of human greenhouse gas emissions are the result of enteric methane production by cows. Asparagopsis taxiformis, a semi-tropical alga, is one solution. Supplementation of this alga to cows at a small percentage of their daily intake has reduced methane emissions by over 98% in trials. This success has led to multiple commercialization attempts globally, although no Asparagopsis tax

Strategic communication as an integrating discipline addresses social phenomenon as migration. When people relocate, they experience physical and mental stress, and seek guidance, questioning their sense of belonging. Authentic communication based on feminist values aims to build long-lasting relations and reach social inclusion by conducting more sensitive communication. This thesis explores the

People who desire more-than-one gender are still facing social exclusion as well as exclusion from LGBTQ communities. Moreover, specific bi+ spaces are rare and bisexuals are often not part of them. Where, then, do bisexuals belong? In order to answer this question, this thesis explores the everyday experiences of bi+ people using Relief Maps and in-depth interviews. I build on theories around emo

How publicly traded companies perform with regards to environmental sustainability is receiving increasing attention both by investors and in society in general. Annually released sustainability reports are an important tool for public companies to disclose information relating to their environmental performance. Frequently released as an integrated part of the annual financial report, sustainabil

The Nordic states’ approaches to security have been painted out as differentiated because of their alliance affiliations. However, in the light of a changing security environment and increasing international collaboration on security issues, there is a need to re-evaluate the Nordic context and alliance-state relations in the construction of security. In this thesis, the influences of security com

European identity is a crucial feature for supra-national institution building in times of renewed far-right nationalism and countries leaving the European Union. High- school education may help to prepare young students to become European citizens. Eurobarometer survey data suggests that European identity and education are strongly linked to each other. This statistical connection could be mere c

Svenska Kärnbränslehanteringen (SKB) startade ett projekt under 2020 i närheten av Forsmark i Sverige med målet att utöka deformationszonsmodellen till att inkludera hela dräneringsområdet runt om det planerade slutförvaret för använt kärnbränsle. Detta arbete bygger på en lineamentmodell som var skapad för SKB. Denna modell använder sig av magnetiska data tillsammans med höjddata samt data insaml

Ekonomisk ersättning till brottsoffer kan ta olika former och betalas av olika aktörer. De regler som avgör ersättningens storlek föreskriver ibland jämkning eller sänkning av beloppet på diverse grunder. Denna jämkning kan av brottsoffer potentiellt upplevas som en “sekundär viktimisering”. I detta arbete kartläggs grunderna för jämkning av ersättning till brottsoffer i svensk rätt och analyseras
