Om en arbetstagares alkoholbruk går ut över arbetsprestationen så ligger det i arbetsgivarens intresse att åtgärda det, antingen genom att se till att arbetstagarens arbetsprestation blir bättre igen eller genom att avbryta anställningen. I svensk arbetsrättslagstiftning är det dock viktigt att särskilja på om en arbetstagare isåfall lider av en alkoholsjukdom eller inte. Om det inte föreligger enWhen an employee’s alcohol habits affect their work, then it is in the employers interest to resolve the problem, either by helping the employee get better or by ending the employment. In swedish labour law, it is however important to distinguish cases between where an employee just abuses alcohol, and cases where an employee is suffering from an alcohol-related disease. If the employee isn’t sick

I den här uppsatsen ämnar jag undersöka hur kollektivavtal tillämpas vid verksamhetsövergångar. Hur denna tillämpning görs är till stor del baserad på vem av överlåtaren och förvärvaren som har kollektivavtal och, om båda har kollektivavtal, huruvida man är bundna av samma eller olika kollektivavtal. Som presenteras nedan finns en skillnad i hur man närmar sig problematiken mellan EU-rätten och svIn this essay, I intend to investigate how collective agreements are applied during business transitions. How this application is made is largely based on who, of the transferor and the acquirer, have collective agreements and, if both have collective agreements, whether they are bound by the same collective agreement or different ones. As presented below, there is a difference in how to approach

In this thesis, the phonetics and the phonology of non-modal voice quality and other glottal features in Chichimeco (Oto-Manguean, Mexico) are described. For this investigation, I analysed recordings I made in Mexico in spring 2017 as well as recordings enclosed in Lastra (2009b, 2016). Descriptions of this language have been published since the 1930s but non-modal phonation has not received the

The purpose with this study is to examine Fiske et al. (2002) hypothesis that stereotypes are best described from without the two dimensions warmth/competence.

The result of the PCA proposes a four-dimensi

Obtaining microstructural information non-invasively on brain tissue remains a challenge. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is an imaging method that can provide such information. That includes geometrical considerations of nerve cells projections, axons, that are present in the white matter of the human brain. Axons carry information encoded into electrical impulses to other cells. The

Tidigare studier har visat att arbetsrelaterad stress är ett ökande problem, med kopplingar till psykisk ohälsa, samtidigt som fysisk aktivitet kan bidra till minskad upplevd stress. I denna studie har 194 uthyrda konsulter på ett bemanning- och rekryteringsföretag i Sverige studerats för att kartlägga deras upplevda arbetsrelaterade stress samt fysiska aktivitetsnivå. Arbetsrelaterad stress har Previous studies have shown that work-related stress is an increasing problem, with connections to mental illness. Meanwhile, physical activity can decrease experienced stress. In this study, 194 consultants on a staffing and recruiting agency in Sweden have been studied to map their work-related stress and level of physical activity. Work-related stress has been measured with Work Stress Question

Personlig integritet i arbetslivet är tämligen oreglerad i svensk rätt och den reglering som finns är komplex och svåröverskådlig. Det är i synnerhet PuL som aktualiseras i fråga om arbetstagares personliga integritet, vilken i maj 2018 ersätts av GDPR. Den består likt PuL av allmänt hållna bestämmelser. Emellertid tillhandahåller GDPR stärkt skydd för individens personliga integritet och ökade skIntegrity in the workforce appears to be rather unregulated in the swedish law. The existing regulation is compound and difficult to get a grip of. In May, 2018, the Personal Data Act will be replaced by the GDPR, which in similar to the former consists of general provisions. However, the new legislation provides employees increased protection, but also more responsibilities for the employers. Th

Föreliggande uppsats undersöker personliga vittnesmål publicerade på en mikroblogg och behandlar det förhållandevis nyligen myntade begreppet mansplaining. Syftet är att studera vilken funktion personliga vittnesmål kan fylla i strävan efter jämställdhet. För att undersöka det görs en genreanalys utifrån Carolyn R. Millers sätt att se på genre som social handling. Huvudsakliga teoretiska perspekti

The purpose of this study is to determine the “state-of- the-art” regarding the research within the field of crowd movement and identify parameters that influence crowd movement. To do this, a scoping review was conducted and the articles that were foun

By using a recently published database on financial crises in Europe for the EU-countries between 1999 and 2017 a series of panel regressions gives strong support for the hypothesis that a financial crisis has a negative effect on institution

Den här uppsatsen handlar om hur terrorism framställs i tre svenska policydokument publicerade mellan 2008-15. Utgångspunkten är det samhällsvetenskapliga perspektivet socialkonstruktivism. Enligt detta perspektiv är verkligheten, eller delar därav, en produkt av interaktionen människor emellan. Företeelser som till exempel identitet, förstås således inte som naturliga eller förutbestämda, utan snWhereas a lot of research on social problems has focused on understanding them as objective conditions, the purpose of this study is to examine how terrorism is framed in three Swedish policies for countering terrorism.
