This report consists of five tasks which were designed to gain an in-depth and broad understanding of the state-of-the-art on research, policy and practice on integration of refugees and host community relations. This was undertaken to form a foundation upon which to build Work Packages focusing on the field work (WP 3 and 4), the development of a refugee and host community toolbox (WP5 and 6) and

The FOCUS project is undertaking a range of research and piloting tasks which aim to improve understanding of dynamic integration and to assist the implementation of effective practices. As part of this work a detailed programme of qualitative research has been undertaken in four countries. This report presents the country-specific findings of this research, which will be further consolidated in a

PurposeCritical infrastructure (CI) sectors and their resilience are vital for societies to function. In many countries, vital societal functions (VSFs) and CIs depend on inter-organizational and international supply chains (SCs) which combine public and private actors with often competing interests and unclear responsibilities that create discontents. While collaborative supply chain risk managem

Few studies have investigated the real-life outcomes of interdisciplinary multimodal pain rehabilitation programs (IMMRP) for chronic pain. This study has four aims: investigate effect sizes (ES); analyse correlation patterns of outcome changes; define a multivariate outcome measure; and investigate whether the clinical self-reported presentation pre-IMMRP predicts the multivariate outcome. To thi

Framväxten av digitala plattformar håller för närvarande på att förändra hur kulturarbete förmedlas och utförs. Trots detta finns det en brist på forskning, inte minst i en svensk kontext, som studerar kulturarbete som ett typexempel på det som kommit att kallas gigarbete. Den här avhandlingen analyserar frilansande kulturarbetares erfarenheter av att navigera den digitala plattformsekonomin för aCultural industries are currently being transformed by processes of platformization and precarization. Despite being among the sectors where platformization has already had the most pronounced effects, there remains a lack of research on cultural work as a prototypical example of so-called gig work. This dissertation analyzes the working experiences of what I call digital freelancers — solo self-e

In this country report, as well as the accompanying general report, the authors revisit a 1999 European Taxation article discussing tax avoidance, which stemmed from the first European Association of Tax Law Professors meeting. The authors explore shifts in tax avoidance perception due to the introduction of the treaty general anti-avoidance rule (GAAR) (principal purpose test), EU GAAR and specif

Impaired rennet coagulation properties in milk could lead to prolonged processing times and production losses. Heritability for milk coagulation has previously been estimated to be 0.28 to 0.45, indicating that genetic selection can be used to manipulate this trait. The CN proteins are expressed by the genes CSN1S1, CSN2, CSN1S2, and CSN3 and are located on bovine chromosome 6. To better understan
