This Master's thesis aims to investigate librarians' identity construction through the study of their narratives about themselves and their lives. We want to understand in what way the education in Library- and Information science contributes to shape the students professional identity and how these identities then continue to be transformed when they enter their professional lives. We ass
The purpose of this study was to examine how the personnel of the Employment Office in Malmoe interpret the emotional situation and health of unemployed individuals. We also wanted to examine if and how the personnel work with these aspects. In relation to this we found it very interesting how the personnel dealt with the responsibilities of power, hierarchy and how subordination afflicts the unem
The global music market is huge. Record companies make their money by exploiting the copyright in the music and lyrics of artists signed to their labels. Now the music industry is taking its first tentative steps into cyberspace and at stake is a potentially lucrative method of distributing music in a new way. First, however, significant difficulties need to be overcome, not the least concerning t
The paper presents novel studies on the impact of different ignition control parameters on combustion stability and spark plug wear. First, experimental results from a 32.4-liter biogas fueled large bore single cylinder spark ignition engine are discussed. Two different ignition systems were considered in the experiment: a DC inductive and an AC capacitive. The spark plugs used in the experiment w
Soil moisture can strongly affect the fate of soil organic carbon (C) during microbial decomposition, but the characterisation and prediction of the effects remain challenging, especially the long-term effects of drought history and its interaction with current levels of soil moisture. We investigated the legacy effects of drought on soil activity and microbial community composition and its intera
Red Lists are very valuable tools in nature conservation at global, continental and (sub-) national scales. In an attempt to prioritise conservation actions for European butterflies, we compiled a database with species lists and Red Lists of all European countries, including the Macaronesian archipelagos (Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands). In total, we compiled national species lists for 42 coun

Introduction: Termination of resuscitation guidelines for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest can identify patients in whom continuing resuscitation has little chance of success. This study examined the outcomes of patients transferred to hospital with ongoing CPR.

Uppsatsen har behandlat den så kallade fyra procent-spärren som trädde i kraft 1 januari 2014. Regeln innebär att en delägare som arbetar aktiv i ett fåmansbolag, måste inneha en kapitalandel motsvarande fyra procent av bolaget för att få utnyttja det lönebaserade utrymmet vid beräkning av dennes gränsbelopp. Innan regeln infördes fick den utstå massiv kritik från remissinstanserna.

The rule means that a partner who works active in a closely held company must hold an equity equivalent to four percents of the company to be able to use the wage based dividend allowance when calculating its dividend allowance.

Den snabba digitala utvecklingen har medfört att immaterialrättsliga tillgångar har ökat i betydelse samt ekonomiskt värde, och i takt med denna utveckling har piratkopieringen kommit att bli ett allt större problem. De senaste tio åren har samtidigt en trendökning skett i praxis vad gäller straffrättsligt ansvar vid piratkopiering. Straffrättsliga förfaranden inom det immaterialrättsliga området The rapid digital development has caused intellectual property rights to increase in importance and economic value. In line with this development, piracy has become an ever-increasing problem. During the last ten years, an increasing trend has also appeared in regards to criminal law proceedings concerning piracy infringements. Criminal proceedings in the field of intellectual property have previo
Uppsatsen redogör för hur den digitala distributionsformen streaming förhåller sig till gällande rätt och vilka rättigheter upphovsmän och utövande artister har till denna distributionsform. Upphovsrättslagen är en skyddslagstiftning som syftar till att ge skydd åt upphovsmän och utövande artisters prestationer. På senare tid har den upphovsrättsliga lagstiftningen som en följd av det digitaliserThis essay illustrates how the digital distribution method “streaming” interrelates with existing law and which rights authors and performing artists have with this form of distribution. The Swedish Copyright Act is a protective legislation aimed at providing protection for authors' and artists' performances. More recently, as a result of the digitized society, Swedish copyright legislati
Creative agency acquisitions by leading management consulting firms is a phenomenon that was recently discovered. Therefore, very few studies have explored M&As within this specific context. This lack of research is surprising because in today’s highly competitive environment businesses increasingly have started acquiring external creative capabilities to be able to provide end-to-end solution
In recent years, it has become increasingly recognized that the traditional production-based methods for calculations of greenhouse gas emissions have shortcomings. This is justified by the fact that such inventories only include emissions that occur within a particular geographical area. As major emissions also arise as a result of imports of goods and services and from international travel, such

Den allmänna dataskyddsförordningen (förordningen) kommer att ersätta dataskyddsdirektivet (direktivet) år 2018. Europeiska kommissionen har ansett att direktivet inte längre ger det skydd av den personliga integriteten som enskilda har rätt till.

Att köpa sexuella tjänster har varit brottsligt i Sverige sedan 1999. Även om kriminaliseringen i förarbetena delvis motiverades med att prostitution är skadligt för individerna som befinner sig i situationen så är det inte, åtminstone inte tydligt, ett brott mot person. Samtidigt finns det personer med erfarenhet av att sälja sex som vittnar om utsatthet och övergrepp inom prostitutionen, något sBuying sexual services has been illegal in Sweden since 1999. Although the criminalization in the preparatory work was partly motivated by the fact that prostitution is harmful to the individuals who are in the situation, it is not, at least not clear, a crime against an individual. At the same time, there are people with experience of selling sex that tells about their experiences, showing that a
