This paper examines Pixar Animation Studios’ movies Ratatouille (2007), WALL-E (2008), and Soul (2020) to explore whether and how they sacralize ordinary actions, thereby transforming films into places of ritualistic meaning-making. Using ritual theory (Grimes, Bell, Turner), Paul Schrader’s transcendental style, and the framework of cine-ritualism, the study explores how audio-visual strategies c

Föräldraskap och föräldraledighet utgör en naturlig del av den enskilda arbetstagarens yrkesliv och livsplanering. Därmed är det också något som arbetsgivare regelmässigt behöver ta i beaktning när arbetet ska planeras, ledas och fördelas. Den lagstiftning som syftar till att skydda gravida och föräldralediga arbetstagare innebär således en inskränkning av arbetsgivarens arbetsledningsrätt. Mot deParenthood and parental leave are a natural part of an individual employee’s professional life. Consequently, this is also something that employers must consider when planning, managing, and allocating work. Legislation aimed at protecting pregnant employees and those on parental leave therefore limits the employer’s right to direct and allocate work. Against this background, the thesis examines h

Denna uppsats är en arbetsrättslig kandidatuppsats som undersöker arbetstagares rätt till föräldraledighet i Sverige. Analysen har fokus på två aspekter av föräldraledighet, för det första, att analysera de olika typer av föräldraledighet som är tillgängliga för föräldrar och för det andra föräldrars rätt till skydd mot missgynnande till följd av att de tagit ut föräldraledighet. Forskningsfrågan This essay falls under the subject of labor law and examines the employees right to parental leave in Sweden. The analysis has two focal points, firstly, to analyze the different kinds of parental leaves that parents can utilize and secondly, the parents right to protection against discrimination as a result of having taken parental leave. The research question of this essay reads as follows “To w

Enligt anställningsskyddslagen krävs sakliga skäl för att en arbetsgivare ska kunna säga upp en arbetstagare. I praktiken har detta i vissa fall lett till att arbetsgivare, i stället för att säga upp en arbetstagare, försöker kringgå kravet genom att förmå arbetstagaren att själv avsluta sin anställning. I dessa fall aktualiseras frågan om provocerade uppsägningar, det vill säga situationer där arAn employer may terminate an employee only on objective grounds. In practice, this requirement has in some cases led employers to seek alternative ways of ending the employment by inducing the employee to resign. Such situations raise the issue of constructive dismissal, referring to cases where the employee has formally ended the employment but where the termination in substance has been brought

Uppsatsen undersöker det rättsliga skyddet för gravida och föräldralediga arbetstagare i svensk rätt och hur detta förhåller sig till EU-rätten. Fokus ligger på samspelet mellan diskrimineringslagen och föräldraledighetslagen samt på missgynnanden rörande lön, anställningsvillkor, omplacering och rätten att återgå till samma eller likvärdigt arbete. Syftet är att bedöma om lagarna tillsammans skaThis thesis examines the legal protection for pregnant employees and employees on parental leave in Swedish law, focusing on how the Discrimination Act and the Parental Leave Act interact and align with EU law. Attention is given to unfavourable treatment concerning pay, employment conditions, reassignment, and the right to return to the same or an equivalent position. The purpose is to assess whe

In contemporary labor markets, employer branding has become a central part of communication between employers and potential employees. This study examines how career websites function to promote the idea of an ideal worker and how different values are portrayed. Using discourse analysis, the study explores linguistic constructions and recurring patterns in publicly available texts from five privat

In this study we have examined how blue- and white collar workers within the same automotive industrial organization interact and collaborate with each other. We have also analyzed what kinds of internal organizational aspects and external societal aspects that could affect the quality of the interaction and cross-functional collaboration. By using participant observation as our research method, w

The Velika Vrbica loess-palaeosol sequence, situated on the south-western bank of the Danube River in northeastern Serbia, represents one of the key Quaternary records in the lower Danube basin, covering the MIS 5-MIS 1 period. Previous investigations of the upper 500 cm established a high-resolution chronology and revealed unexpected patterns of dust accumulation during interstadial phases. In th

This book is designed to help practitioners understand the growing potential for the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to improve Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) outcomes in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations sector. Through a series of cutting-edge practical cases, an international team of researchers and practitioners examine the benefits, barriers, and ch

Introduction The recognition of breathlessness in clinical practice appears suboptimal, despite its prevalence and impact. This study aimed to explore the content of clinical conversations about breathlessness and patients’ level of self-reported openness when discussing their breathlessness. Methods A cross-sectional, online survey of Australian adults (≥18 years) stratified to the 2016 National

This study examines the self-assembly and lyotropic aqueous phase behavior of galactose- (GC) and rhamnose-based (RC) bioinspired glycolipids with C10and C14alkyl chains using small-angle X-ray scattering and wide-angle X-ray scattering measurements. In the isotropic micellar regime (L1), ellipsoidal micelles were identified, with their size and aggregation number mainly controlled by the surfacta

Forests are an important component in the framework of nature-based solutions for mitigating climate change. However, there are still uncertainties about the biogeophysical effects of forest cover changes affecting heat and water fluxes as captured by Earth System Models (ESMs) simulations and observations. In this study, we investigate the differences in the surface temperature response to ideali

Background and purpose: Hormone-receptor-positive/HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) early-stage breast cancers (EBCs) display heterogenous responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) warranting biomarkers to tailor optimal treatment for individual patients. Patients/material and methods: Women with HR+/HER2-EBC (N = 178) included in the Swedish Sweden Cancerome Analysis Network-Breast (SCAN-B) population

Leaf area index is an important metric for characterising the structure of vegetation canopies and scaling up leaf and plant processes to assess their influence on regional and global climate. Earth observation estimates of leaf area index have increased in recent decades, providing a valuable resource for monitoring vegetation changes and evaluating their representation in land surface and earth

The aim of this study was to assess to what extent receptive vocabulary could be explained by morphological knowledge, language majority/minority background and socioeconomic status (SES) for Swedish 8–11-year-old children. A total of 89 children participated, of whom n = 47 were L1 speakers (language majority) and n = 42 were L2 speakers (language minority). Morphological knowledge (MK) was asses

Direct laser writing (DLW) has arise interest in a variety of fields due to the capabilities that we get from the realization of 2D and 3D structures with high resolution fabrication techniques. Multi-photon lithography (MPL) relies on non-linear absorption effects, making possible the fabrication of metasurfaces with feature size beyond the diffraction limit. A new approach in this direction is t
