Stress är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till arbetsrelaterade besvär i Sverige. Under de senaste årtiondena har stora förändringar skett på arbetsmarknaden. Digitala lösningar har bidragit till ett mer gränslöst arbete där arbetstagarna arbetar under flexiblare former. Det flexibla arbetet kan leda till att konflikt mellan arbete och privatliv uppstår. Fastighetsmäklare är ett yrke som i hög grad Strain is one of the most common causes for work- related problems in Sweden. During the last decades, there have been chances on the labor market. Digital solutions have contributed to more boundaryless work where employees work with more flexibility, potentially leading to a conflict between work and personal life. Real estate agent is a profession that works under conditions that could be perce

The current Syrian crisis has pushed over 4.8 million people to seek asylum abroad, mainly in the neighbouring countries. In Jordan urban refugees, who represent 82% of registered refugees, lack visibility and help. Women are in a particularly difficult situation due to their multiple burdens as caregivers and homemakers. Yet, Syrian forced migrant women settled in the capital city of Amman demons

This thesis examines whether international law is sufficiently equipped for a sound conceptualization of migrants’ and refugees’ right to access housing beyond a minimalistic paradigm. Itaims to assess the potential and shortcomings of this right in counteracting the manner in which power is exercised in migration law, policy, and politics to instrumentalize housing against migrants and refugees.

Popular science Dissolve organic carbon degradation in the estuarine environment Dissolve Organic Carbon (DOC) is transported to the estuarine systems via river runoff where it is largely degraded by microbial communities. The availability of DOC effects aquatic ecosystems by causing changes in the bioavailability of toxic compounds, and by increasing the acidity of water . DOC degradation causes Terrestrially-derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is transported to estuarine systems via river runoff, where it is largely degraded by microbial communities. I studied the combined influence of salinity (NaCl), microbial community (marine vs. freshwater) and inorganic nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability on DOC degradation rates in 10 major rivers in Sweden sampled during summer. The D

Shale gas extraction commonly known as fracking had support from the UK government with their ‘all out for shale’ policy. Despite this industry has struggled to establish itself mainly due to strong opposition from communities concerned about environmental and health impacts. Most research into the impacts of fracking is concerned with either environmental degradation or physical health impacts wh

For the last couple of years, the popularity of e-bikes has grown substantially. Thanks to the electric motor people can now ride uphill and longer distances without arriving at their destination sweaty and exhausted. But even if the function of electric bikes is great I saw problems in the design of the bikes that are currently on the market. Problems that made them very unattractive for

Syftet med denna studie var att genom en kritisk diskursanalys utforska vilka diskurser som tar plats i kommunikationen hos svenska gymkedjor samt vilka sociala strukturer i relation till träning och fysisk aktivitet de bidrar till att skapa och/eller reproducera. Det insamlade materialet bestod av det visuella materialet på hemsidorna hos Sveriges fem största gymkedjor, vilket analyserades med hjThe purpose of this study was that through a critical discourse analysis investigate what discourses take place in the communication among Swedish gym facilities, and what social structures regarding physical activity they are currently creating and/or reproducing. The collected material consisted of the visual mate-rial presented on the webpages of the five larges gym facilities in Sweden. The ma

Purpose: To investigate whether a firm's hedging activities have an impact on the cost of debt. Moreover, the study aims to investigate any differences between the three categories of risk: foreign exchange rate risks (FX), interest rate risks (IR) and commodity price risks (CM) as well as the sources of benefit from hedging. Methodology: The study is conducted on a panel data set, and the ut

The study offers a prescriptive definition of a sustainable corporation from a human-rights-based approach. It defines a sustainable corporation as any business created with or that has human rights and the environment as its fundamental values, and integrates as well as implements such values into all aspects of its operations. This definition implies that all companies their sizes or sector notw

In this paper, a mathematical model is presented by which the cutting forces in gear form milling process are predicted using the mechanistic approach. To use this approach, a detailed description of the chip geometry is needed. Eccentricity and run-out tool errors are considered, which is of great importance as the chip thickness will by these errors vary for the subsequent cuts. The chip geometr

Background. Studies on perceived discrimination of people with mental illness are largely lacking. The purpose of the study was to investigate perceived discrimination in a sample of users in contact with mental health services in Sweden. Methods. Interviews were conducted with 156 users, asking for perceived and anticipated discrimination during the last 2 years. Background characteristics were a

This volume presents a series of case studies that trace the ways in which audiences across Europe have attempted to return to Pompeii by emulating its interior decorations since the city’s rediscovery in the mid-eighteenth century. As such, it is about both the impact of Pompeian antiquity on the present and the reception in the present of that antique past, exploring the variety of ways in whichThis volume presents a series of case studies that trace the ways in which audiences across Europe have attempted to return to Pompeii by emulating its interior decorations since the city’s rediscovery in the mid-eighteenth century.

Engine efficiency is often controlled in an indirectway through combustion timing control. This requires a prioriknowledge of where to phase the combustion for differentoperating points and conditions. With cylinder individual efficiencyestimation, control strategies aiming directly at fuelconsumption optimization can be developed. It has previouslybeen shown that indicated efficiency can be estim

The structure tensor is a powerful tool describing the local intensity structure of an image or image sequence. In this paper we give a model for the noise distribution of the components of the tensor. In order to do so we have also investigated some properties of the gamma distribution. We show that, given an input image corrupted with Gaussian noise, the noise in the structure tensor can be mode

Objective: To explore experiences with supervised group exercise during pregnancy in women with depression or low psychological well-being. Design: A qualitative descriptive study based on semi-structured, individual, in-depth interviews analyzed by means of thematic analysis. Setting: The Department of Obstetrics, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital, Denmark. Participants: Through a pu

Contemporary smart cities have largely mirrored the sustainable development agenda by embracing an ecological modernisation approach to urban development. There is a strong focus on stimulating economic activity and environmental protection with little emphasis on social equity and the human experience. The health and well-being agenda has potential to shift the focus of smart cities to centre on

This paper presents an overview of the literature on universal design for equitable healthcare. The central inquiry in the current paper is a critical design-for-all challenge: how might universal design contribute to providing equitable healthcare for women suffering from pelvic floor injuries during birth? This study delves into some of the explicit and implicit needs of this deprioritized minor

A presentation and discussion of the heritage dilemmas, which appears, when the medieval churches of Mårup, Rubjerg, Lyngby and Furreby and the modern lighthouse of Rubjerg Knude in Northern Jutland, Denmark, all are threatened by dunes, drifting sands and the North Sea. The churches of Rubjerg and Lyngby were taken down and rebuilt further inland in respectively 1904 and 1913-14, while the church
