De mänskliga rättigheterna yrkar på universella rättigheter för alla världens människor. Dessa rättigheter bör överordna kulturella variationer som i sin tur bör ignoreras till förmån för de mänskliga rättigheterna. Således är appliceringen av de mänskliga rättigheterna inte så enkel som det till synes verkar då verkligheten skiljer sig från teoretiska antagande. Finns det universella handlingar s

Aktieägaravtal är mycket vanligt förekommande i svenska privata aktiebolag. Avtalsformen är sprungen ur det praktiska rättslivet och saknar legaldefinition. Avtalen ger aktieägare möjlighet att värna om ägarintressen som avviker från ABLs värdemonistiska syn på aktiebolag som kapitalassociationer med rent vinstmaximeringssyfte. Det utbredda användandet av aktieägaravtal blottlägger den diskrepans Shareholder agreements are commonly used in Swedish limited companies. This is a type of contract that has evolved without any involvement from the legislator, and therefore lacks a legal definition. The contracts allow for the protection of shareholders' interests when they deviate from the monistic notion of the Swedish Companies Act, which states that limited companies are pure capitalist f

Half of the workers in the world do not have access to social and legal security. As workers of a growing informal economy, they lack the protection that formal workers usually have, such as pension and sick pay and their income is varying and insecure. In the past, it was workers organizing in labor unions who achieved improved working conditions. But when the share of formal workers diminishes,

The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the relation between resilience as a discourse and governmentality. Drawing on theory by Foucault, a comparison and application of liberal governmentality will be made with contemporary resilience policy. The DFID, a global leader in resilience-building, will serve as a case to show in what ways power-relations are embedded within the organisation’s di

Efter att checklistan infördes internationellt har antalet komplikationer och dödsfall reducerats (Socialstyrelsen, u.å). I Sverige idag finns bristande kunskap om hur den totala följsamheten ser ut sedan checklistan infördes. Syftet med studien var att beskriva och jämföra operationsteamets följsamhet av momenten ”Tim

Indonesien har ratificerat de viktiga internationella mänskliga rättigheter-traktaten som ålägger stater att eliminera diskriminering av kvinnor – CEDAW, ICCPR och ICESCR. Ändå existerar omfattande diskriminering av kvinnor i landet, underblåst särskilt av lokala regleringar som tillkommit genom den starka regionala autonomin. Dessa regleringar, antagna på provins-, region- eller stadsnivå, bryterIndonesia has ratified the crucial international human rights treaties obligating states to eliminate discrimination against women – the CEDAW, the ICCPR and the ICESCR. Yet discrimination against women exists in Indonesia, especially fuelled by local regulations able to arise due to the country’s strong regional autonomy. Enacted either at province, regency or city level, these regulations contra

Avtalade friköps- och utköpsklausuler riskerar krocka med aktiebolagsrättsliga normer och föreskrivna överlåtelsebegränsningar i bolagsordningen. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vad gällande rätt föreskriver om sådana kollisioner och var gränserna går för vad som är möjligt att reglera i friköps- och utköpsklausuler. Friköpsklausuler ger aktieägare en rätt att bli utköpt och utköpsklausuBuy-out clauses in shareholders agreements risk colliding with Swedish company law and transfer restrictions in the articles of association. The purpose of this paper is to examine what the law provides for such collisions and the limits for what is possible to regulate with buy-out clauses. A buy-out clause with a put option states a right for shareholders to be bought out and one with a call opt

We illustrate this phenome-non based on the idea of age diversity management. Age diversity management, which promotes the benevolence of an age diverse workforce, is little noticed within the field of diversity management, but gets more and more cr

This thesis deals with language mixing phenomena in J-pop lyrics. While previous research within this field has provided different angles on the motivation behind the use of English in J-pop, a uniform way of categorizing the type of language mixing has not yet been established. Some sociolinguistic research suggests that code-switching is used. However, since there is a view of Japan as a monolin

I takt med förändrade samhällsstrukturer genom globaliseringen och ökade rörelsemönster över större geografiska områden har det regionala perspektivet uppmärksammats i planeringen då de kommunala gränserna blivit allt mer flytande. Uppsatsen belyser en fallstudie, Strukturplan för Skåne Nordväst, som är en regional strategi som Skåne Nordvästs 11 kommuner tillsammans utformat för att sammankoppla
