Sustainable development requires collaboration between governments, businesses, and citizens. However, economic models, sustainability practices, and global policies are currently not fit-for-purpose to maintain global temperatures to 1.5 degrees centigrade within the timescales required to maintain a safe space for humanity to thrive. This study maps the alignment of business values and practices

The VUCA world we face today, proposes challenges for individuals with a high Need for Closure (NFC) as they may experience decreased well-being when faced with uncertainty and ambiguity. This in turn creates a problem for organizations as their employees with a high NFC may struggle to come up with innovative solutions to the complexity they are facing, making it difficult for the organization to

År 2022 genomfördes den största reformen av lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (anställningsskyddslagen) någonsin. Processen var historisk eftersom ändringarna grundades i en överenskommelse mellan arbetsmarknadens parter, Huvudavtal om trygghet, omställning och anställningsskydd. Förhandlingarna bakom huvudavtalet pågick under flera år. Parterna bakom huvudavtalet hade en tydlig vision för hur In 2022, the largest ever reform of the Employment Protection Act was implemented.

Formativ bedömning (FB) är ett arbetssätt som bidrar till både främjandet av elevers lärande och utveckling av undervisningen. Tidigare forskning har rapporterat om bland annat missuppfattningar kring FB och såväl förtjänster som utmaningar med implementering av FB. I denna studie undersöker vi matematiklärares uppfattningar om och upplevelser av FB och utgår från Black och Wiliams modell för impl

With the growing integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid, new challenges for system stability have emerged. To address this, the European Union has introduced a regulation called Requirements for Generators (RfG). This regulation sets specific performance standards, one of which is a minimum critical clearing time related to faults. Some production facilities with low inertial

Denna magisteruppsats baseras på en översättning av drygt 6000 ord av en komparativ litteraturvetenskaplig text av Herman Beavers om de amerikanska författarna James Baldwin och Ralph Ellison. Uppsatsen består av tre delar. Den första delen är en källtextanalys där textens kontext och viktigaste drag presenteras enligt den analysmodell som presenteras i Hellspongs & Ledins bok Vägar genom text

Den inre marknaden i EU karaktäriseras av ett antal friheter. Onlinespel faller under etableringsfrihet och friheten att tillhandahålla tjänster. Medlemsstaterna har med stöd av ett fördragsundantag, tenderat att vilja förbehålla sig rätten att erbjuda speltjänster inom respektive land. Internets framfart har dock lett till ett paradigmskifte på spelområdet där nu öppnare licenssystem ersätter monThe European internal market is characterised by a number of freedoms. Online gambling is the subject of the freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services. Member states tend to invoke an exception of the free movement, granting them exclusive rights to provide gambling services. The growth of the internet and its impact on the gambling industry has however created a shift in paradigm.

This analysis explores the seemingly paradoxical and fairly common phenomenon occurring in films where underachieving slacker characters are portrayed as good role-models giving advice to ambitious protagonists aspiring success. By juxtaposing 15 diverse films in which a slacker helps the protagonist, observations of similarities and explications concludes this investigation to four categories con

Art. 6(1) EKMR garanterar var och en vars civila rättigheter eller skyldigheter blir föremål för prövning eller som blir anklagad för brott en rätt till en rättvis rättegång inför en oavhängig och opartisk domstol. Vid administrativa förfaranden, såsom konkurrensrättsliga, har Europadomstolen ställt krav på att i de fall en administrativ myndighet inte uppfyller kraven i art. 6(1) EKMR ålägger förFor some time there has been loud criticism to whether the institutional structure and procedures for the enforcement of EU Competition Law is compatible with the right to a fair trial. Art. 6(1) ECHR protects this right in criminal law cases and cases concerning civil rights, by guaranteeing everyone the right to a fair trial before an independent and impartial tribunal. Concerning administrative

Den rådande marknaden har nått en punkt där teknisk innovation och tekniska egenskaper har blivit mindre viktiga konkurrensmedel, varför TechCo har insett vikten av tidig brukarinvolvering i innovationsprocessen. För att kunna dra fördel av brukarinvolvering så krävs det emellertid ett innovativt klimat och en effektiv FFE-process. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka hur pass förbereddAs the topical engineering industry has reached a point where technical innovation and technical features have become less important as means of competition, TechCo has realized the importance of user involvement in their early stages of development. However, in order to absorb this new input flow, certain prerequisites are needed namely an innovative climate and a proficient FFE. The purpose of t

After the end of the Cultural Revolution, restrictions on art production in China eased considerably, and alternative accounts of life under Mao emerged, conflicting earlier official accounts of life in Maoist China. Since then, a number of films depicting the so-called decade of turmoil and the years preceding it have been produced. This essay studies and compares two Chinese films: Hibiscus Town

An important question for the psychology of religion is if religion can be interpreted as a constructive or a destructive force. When people endure a crisis caused by the death of a beloved relative, this subject is more pressing than ever.

Payments for ecosystem services (PES), a mechanism of incentives or compensation to landowners for provision of ecosystem services, have grown as a tool for meeting conservation goals. The Costa Rican payments for ecosystem services (PSA) program is one of the best-known examples because of being one of the most established. Despite this, the PSA program and many other PES programs do not monitor

Hållbarhet och cirkulärt byggande blir alltmer centrala i Sveriges miljömål, men implementeringen av Design för Demontering (DfD) är fortfarande begränsad. Denna studie undersöker de ekonomiska, regulatoriska och tekniska hinder som försvårar en storskalig tillämpning av DfD i den svenska byggsektorn samt identifierar strategier för att påskynda dess genomförande. Studien bygger på kvalitativ

This paper investigates resilient performance of Air Traffic Management with future Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based tools. A case study was performed on an early prototype of an AI-enabled Flight Information Service (FIS) tool, using a survey of flight instructors and air traffic controllers, and a focus group with controllers with flying experience. The study focused on what characterizes good

Construction with timber is becoming increasingly popular, partially due to its environmental benefits in comparison to steel and concrete. This is especially true for cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels an engineered wood product consisting of stacked timber lamellae oriented perpendicu-larly to each other. CLT panels have high stiffness in comparison to its mass, which leads to a sensitivity to
