En stor andel av vuxna svenskar planerar under sitt yrkesamma liv för sin ekonomi när de slutar arbeta genom att pensionsspara. Även lagstiftaren anser det vara viktigt att det planeras för framtiden och lämnar skattekredit till dem som väljer att pensionsspara genom pensionsförsäkring eller individuellt pensionssparande. Då man pensionssparar just för att få en bättre ekonomisk situation på ålderA large proportion of Swedish adults plan for their economy while working by saving for the retirement. The legislator also establishes the importance of planning for the future by granting a tax credit for those who choose to save for the retirement in certain products defined by law. The legal protection of capital savings when saving for a better financial situation when you reach retirement is

Nya föreskrifter utfärdade av Arbetsmiljöverket träder i kraft 31 mars 2016 och kommer att upphäva bland annat föreskrifterna om kränkande särbehandling i arbetslivet. Bestämmelserna om kränkande särbehandling har för första gången prövats i Krokom-fallet, som än idag är det enda rättsfall som berör psykosocial arbetsmiljö. Huvudsyftet med uppsatsen har varit att redogöra för gällande rätt avseeNew regulations issued by the Swedish Work Environment Authority will enter into force on the 31 March 2016 and will repeal, inter alia, the provisions on emotional abuse in the workplace. The provisions on emotional abuse have first been tried in the Krokom case, which is still the only legal case involving psychosocial work environment in Sweden. The main purpose of this essay has been to descr

Global climate change is probably the biggest challenge of our century, and even though research has attempted to uncover the social forces driving the emission of carbon, there is a lack of consensus among scholars. Some empirical research states that carbon emissions are lower in countries where women have higher political status. Others suggest that it is higher income inequality that explains

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vuxenmobbning på arbetsplatsen inom Försvarsmakten ur ett genusperspektiv. Upplever kvinnor på en mansdominerad arbetsplats såsom Försvarsmakten sig oftare utsatta för mobbning än vad män gör? Begreppet arbetsrelaterad mobbning definieras som upprepade, negativa handlingar som förlöjligar, isolerar och kan leda till att den anställde fördrivs från arbetspl

The Common Agricultural Policy is one of the most important policies within the European Union. However, the support from CAP have had some unexpected consequences for the environment. Major changes were made in 2003 regarding the way payments were given to farmers, in order to reduce the environmental impact of agricultural production. The support was made decoupled, which basically meant a great

The world is urbanising at an unprecedented rate. Cities are perceived to be potential solutions as well as causes of the many problems our society faces. On the one hand, cities are considered the driving forces of prosperity through innovation, wealth creation and growth. On the other hand, cities are perceived to be the roots of urgent environmental and social issues. In fact, the very notion o

This study is based on discourse analysis establishing the discursive setting of four Swedish NGO participants of the EU Civil Society Platform against Trafficking in Human Beings, the Swedish Police and the EU Platform itself. By analysing the discursive setting through a social constructivist social theory I discuss what impact discourses have on the normative portrayal of the trafficking phenom

The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate the influencing factors on the business potential of products with health claims, using PrimaLiv as an example. And to give recommendations on how a dairy producer, which is present in the Swedish market, could improve the sales rates of products with health claims. We have chosen to put a main focus on the consumer, as he or she determines the b

Direct tax harmonisation in the EU is the next and perhaps the last step towards complete economic integration after the creation of Economic and Monetary Union. However, because of political sensitivity of taxation only indirect taxes are harmonised in the EU, while direct tax competition between Member States stays. Countries are still free to introduce various tax incentives in order to attract

Thesis purpose: This thesis will through a case study of a recently rebranded bank “Jyske Bank”, seek to research deeper within the field of service sector rebranding. The internal communication used in connection to the rebranding, will be analyzed in order to investigate what initiatives Jyske Bank’s organizational leaders launched to implement the rebranding and furthermore whether the initiati

Lately mergers and acquisitions made larger power distribution companies. The economic benefits of those are carefully calculated. But what’s much more complicated is to calculate all consequence of mergers. Very few things in business are certain. The precision of science doesn’t apply to business. Universal “laws of nature” do not govern business; no formula “replicates” good management. Decisio

The evolutionary biologist Julian Huxley (1887–1975) attempted to promote a “religion for the future,” which he would come to refer to as Transhumanism. Transhumanism was an attempt to unite a more traditional humanistic view of the human as containing some form of core essence or potential with an evolutionary point of view of humans as a work in progress. Before humans, natural selection had bee

ER-positive/HER2-negative (ERpHER2n) breast cancer classified as PAM50 HER2-enriched (ERpHER2n-HER2E) represents a small high-risk patient subgroup. In this study, we investigate genomic, transcriptomic, and clinical features of ERpHER2n-HER2E breast tumors using two primary ERpHER2n cohorts comprising a total of 5640 patients. We show that ERpHER2n-HER2E tumors exhibit aggressive clinical feature

Rhythmicity is a composite competence that spans perceptual, motor, and socio-cognitive abilities. This is highly salient when adopting a developmental perspective, as we do in this chapter that reviews data from humans and other singing primate taxa with a close (gibbons) or remote (indri lemurs) phylogenetic relatedness to our species. The findings we review show that rhythmicity develops as an

Renin from plasma, kidney, and recombinant sources was previously demonstrated to cleave C3 to C3a and C3b. C3a was generated at a similar rate to that by C3 convertase, and C3 cleavage was inhibited by the renin inhibitor aliskiren. Renin endogenously produced by Calu6 cells also led to C3 deposition on cells. These results have been challenged by another group suggesting that recombinant renin d

Catalytic studies traditionally rely on steady-state conditions resulting in time-averaged datasets that do not differentiate between active and spectator species. This limitation can cause misinterpretations of catalytic function, as the signal of short-lived intermediates responsible for producing desired reaction products is often masked by more intense spectator species. Time-resolved ambient

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining traction in medicine and surgery. AI-based applications can offer tools to examine high-volume data to inform predictive analytics that supports complex decision-making processes. Time-sensitive trauma and emergency contexts are often challenging. The study aims to investigate trauma and emergency surgeons' knowledge and perception of using AI-ba

Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, globalized markets with intense competition, and generally rising transportation costs emphasize the importance of achieving economically and environmentally sustainable distribution systems. Many international organizations predict that if no new measures are implemented, global carbon dioxide emissions from freight transport will increase to even highe

The expansion of the electric vehicle industry is driving increased demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which in turn creates challenges in material availability and waste management that more durable LIBs could address. Electrode surface coating helps extend LIB lifespan, with atomic layered deposition (ALD) as the preferred method due to its precise thickness control and ability to coat var

Amelogenin, the most abundant protein in developing enamel, self-assembles into supramolecular structures that serve as templates for apatite growth. Recent studies revealed that amelogenin nanoribbons exhibit hallmark features of functional amyloids, yet the molecular mechanisms governing their formation remain incompletely understood. Here, we combine atomic force microscopy, transmission electr
