Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det föreligger ett samband mellan anställningsotrygghet och mental ohälsa och somatisk stress. Ett annat mål var att testa om kontroll och socialt stöd är kopplade till anställningsotrygghet. Matrialet samlades in genom en surveyundersökning som mätte anställningsotrygghet, mental hälsa, somatisk stress, socialt stöd och kontroll. I studien deltog 46 anställ

ABSTRACT Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyzes the rate‐limiting step of dNTP production. The availability of finely tuned dNTP pools is very important to maintain genome stability during DNA synthesis for replication and repair. Therefore the activity of RNR is tightly regulated via various mechanisms. In yeast species RNR inhibitors proteins prevent the RNR activation in the G1 and G2 phases

Earlier studies in other countries have found that inequity and social economic factors influence crime. We examine if the same influence could be found in Sweden. Through a multiple regression we analyze material from Sweden’s 290 municipalities. The dependent variable is measured through reported acts of violent crime since this reflects the total crime rate better than other possible measuremen

Sammanfattning: Ett informationssystem är i grund och botten ett sätt att lagra och bearbeta information. Alla sådana system bygger på en informationsmodell, det vill säga en modell för hur data organiseras för att de ska gå att bearbeta och omvandla till information. Idag existerar avancerade informationssystem för att göra spatiala analyser (GIS) och för att hantera byggnader (BLM-system). För nSummary: An information system is basically a way to store and process information. All such systems are built from an information model, in essence a model for how to organize data in order to make it possible to process, thus turning it into information. Today there exist advanced information systems for performing spatial analysis (GIS) and to model buildings (BLM-systems). At present the devel

The purpose of this project has been to illuminate whether employees within big scaled production kitchens have the necessary, appropriate and vital education regarding how to handle food and eatables and to discuss the consequences that may arise as a direct result of insufficient knowledge on the subject of temperature and food. This study was carried out with the support and supervision of mil

Det har länge förts en debatt om huruvida medelarskyddet för privatanställda bör utökas. Flera utredningar har gjorts på området, men ingen har lett till mer omfattande lagstiftningsåtgärder. I juni år 2012 beslutades att frågan om stärkt meddelarskydd för privatanställda ska ses över igen, nu avseende offentligt finansierad verksamhet och framförallt sådan verksamhet som avser vård, skola och omsFor long there has been an ongoing debate about whether or not employees working in the private sector should have the right to publish information about their workplace. Several commissions have taken form regarding this issue, but none of them have led to legislation. In June 2012 it was decided that a new commission shall investigate this matter, this time regarding sectors financed by public f

This thesis is focusing on the protection of fundamental human rights at work for third country migrant workers in the European Union, a region which attracts more and more migrant workers in recent years. The first Chapter introduces the background briefly, the methodology and the sources on which the research is conducted on and provides the scope and definition of the issues which are under dis

Persuasive Technology, technology that is designed to change users’ attitudes or behaviors, has been exercised for a long time. Designing a technology that can change users’ attitudes or behaviors is a process that needs to be carefully thought through. Captology makes this process easier by defining the most important factors that technology needs to contain in order to be classified as Persuasiv

The Potential of Esters as Renewable Fuels: Determination of Laminar Burning Velocities Biodiesel fuel is widely used as a clean fuel in car engines. Ester fuels are a one kind of a biodiesel fuel which includes many chemical compounds. Due to their chemical and physical properties these esters are difficult to investigate in a laboratory. The heat flux method was used in this study to determine

Sammanfattning: Många verksamheter använder karttjänster för att lösa problem och underlätta beslutsfattande. Allt fler upptäcker fördelarna med detta och integrerar karttjänster i verksamhetssystem. Dessa tjänster utvecklas från grundläggande karttjänster som kan ha betydande skillnader mellan sig vilket gör valet av tjänst till en viktig fråga. Eftersom karttjänsterna är olika och uppbyggda av eSummary: Many organizations use map services in their daily work to solve problems and enhance decision making processes. The number of organizations who enjoy the benefits of map services and integrate them into their system is increasing. To choose a certain map service is an important decision since the differences between them can be significant. The service is dependent on many minor componen

Djungeln av avloppsreningslösningar Avloppsvatten uppkommer från alla typer av verksamheter, ändå är det en fråga som som är problematisk för många. Även för ett mindre bryggeri innebär omhändertagandet av avloppsvatten många frågetecken. Vad är det egentligen som avgör vilken avloppsvattenlösning som passar för den individuella verksamheten? Intresset för öl har vuxit explosionsartat i Sverige ocThe number of microbreweries in Sweden has grown a lot since 2009, from about 30 to 240 breweries. In the production of beer, wastewater is also produced which must be taken care of to avoid inconvenience to people and the environment. How the wastewater should be treated has been a problem for a couple of breweries. This study is based on a case study, Remmarlöv Gårdsbryggeri, that needs a new wa

The Irish dairy industry has seen significant growth in recent times. It is also seen as one of key drivers in the Irish government’s plans to grow food and drink exports. However, there is an environmental cost to this. The niche dairy industry has been stagnant for years. This project looks at the potential for the niche dairy industry to grow and resulting in higher economic impact but lower en

Abstract Purpose First, this study aimed to explore the development of CSR as a discourse and theoretical concept from the 1950’s until today. The purpose of this was to generate insights into how CSR agendas have changed over time and to better understand where it is today. The second aim was to better grasp the business-societal dynamics and implications of CSR as a practice today, so we conduct

Att fatta beslut begränsas på flera olika sätt. Vid dataanalys kan man begränsas av business blindspots. Business blindspots har definierats som misslyckandet med att ta reda på och ut- nyttja relevant information om sin marknads- och konkurrenssituation. Det är dock inte i bara marknads- och konkurrenssituationen det går att misslyckas med att ta reda på och utnyttja re- levant information. Detta
