In today?s archaeology there?s a growing need for non-invasive prospection methods. However there?s a methodological gap and what?s missing is a method for locating human bones. In this study a specially trained German shepherd is put through scientific tests determining how good the dog is at telling the different between the scent of human and animal bones.

Den viktigaste aspekten av human resource management kan i dagens samhälle anses vara rekryteringsprocessen. Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att fastställa om, och i så fall hur och till vilka tjänster, video bör användas som rekryteringsmetod. Detta för undersökandet av verktygets möjlighet att öka organisationers förutsättningar till konkurrenskraftigt övertag på arbetsmarknaden i enighet med Barneys teori om resource-based view. Analysen av resultatet utfördes utifrån tre teman ? fördelar och nackdelar med användandet, samt möjligheter till utveckling, av video som rekryteringsverktyg.

In this essay dog as a compatible model were put against human. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes were compared between dogs, human, cat and mouse. To evaluate dog as a model and study similarities and differences was the aim with this review. Dog as a model contributes to understand mechanisms behind autoimmune diseases and showed clearly histological similarities between human and dogs concerning the skin disease mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP)/cicatricial pemphgioid (CP). Further genetic evidence motivated the choice of using dog as a comprehensive model when the MHC-complex correlated with hypothyroiditis in Doberman dog as it does in human. Physiological similarities with low levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) together with high level of thyroid releasing hormone (TSH) were found in the same way as in human.

I dagens hårda globala konkurrens blir det allt viktigare för företagen att dra ner på kostnader och koncentrera sig på sin kärnverksamhet. Ett svar på detta är outsourcing som blir allt vanligare bland företag. De tjänster som outsourcas blir också mer kvalificerade, det kan till exempel vara en hel ekonomiavdelning. Detta sker dock inte helt utan problem, att outsourca något strategiskt viktigt som en ekonomiavdelning ställer stora krav på bra styrning. Undersökningen ämnar identifiera hur en gemensam styrning av en outsourcad ekonomienhet kan utformas, samt identifiera hur styrningen kan utformas för att tillgodose både det levererande och de köpande organisationernas mål.

The aim of this essay is to discuss the meaning of the human and its possible overcoming in Friedrich Nietzsche?s doctrine of the eternal recurrence of the same, with Martin Heidegger?s readings of Nietzsche as point of departure.According to Heidegger, Nietzsche?s doctrine of the eternal recurrence of the same represents the end of occidental metaphysical thinking. The thought concludes a thinking of being as the presence of beings, where the original question of being was never developed out of its own ground.But at the heart of this interpretation, often considered ?violent?, lies the question of whether man is able to think being out of his finitude. This is the question I will unfold, through a reading of Nietzsche?s thought of the eternal recurrence of the same, as it is presented in his Thus spoke Zarathustra, as an attempt to think beings in their being beyond a ?humanization? of them, expressed in transcendental aims, purposes and categories.

Outsourcing, att flytta egenägd produktion till en extern leverantör kan vara ett effektivt verktyg som hjälper företag att minska sina kostnader, fokusera på sin kärnverksamhet eller etablera sig på en ny marknad, om det används rätt. Innan beslutet om outsourcing ska tas är det viktigt att tänka igenom och eventuellt använda sig av befintliga beslutsmodeller för att fatta beslut baserat på rådande förhållanden. Det finns flera typer av beslutsmodeller, varav två tas upp i rapporten: flödesorienterade och ekvationsorienterade beslutsmodeller. Att ha produktionen långt ifrån sin övriga verksamhet där regelbundna kontroller inte kan göras, kan i längden orsaka problem. Leverantören har kontrollen över tillverkningen och känslig information riskerar att spridas.

AbstraktTitel Hur påverkas ett regionalt nätverk av outsourcing? - en studie av klusterinitiativet Tunga fordonForskningsproblemet Outsourcing, flytt av produktion till extern part belägen utomlands, är ett led av den konstanta utveckling och globalisering som har lett till nya möjligheter för företag. Att företag utför outsourcingaktiviteter är en bidragande faktor till att tillväxten i Sverige minskar då den regionala utvecklingen hämmas. Detta ställer krav på regioners förmåga att vara innovativa och effektiva för att stärka sin konkurrenskraft. Industristaden Ljungby i Småland har ansetts vara en stark region men samtidigt sårbar då företag inom mindre regioner ofta är inriktade mot en specifik bransch.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the 9/11 attacks, the landscape of the freedom of religion has changed. The issues now facing freedom of religion varies greatly from the issues that the drafters of the universal declaration of human rights faced after World War II.In the light of the new issues that States face in the intersection of religion and societal interest, scholars have criticized the European Court of Human Rights to give too much leeway to the States in determining how the human rights should be implemented, by using the doctrine of margin of appreciation. Critics of the margin of appreciation claim that it is based on culture relativism and that the doctrine undermines the universality of the human rights. In order to decide if the margin of appreciation has indeed led to a relativization of the human rights I compared it to the jurisprudence of the UN Human Rights Committee and its use of the Syracusa principles. My conclusion is that the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights cannot be considered to be based on culture relativism.

This paper is about the importance of engagement, cohesion and clarity in offshore outsourcing projects. The focus is on how the communication is handled between co-workers in different countries. My research is based on qualitative studies of literature on the subject, along with interviews with leaders in various companies in Sweden that utilize offshoring to countries in Asia. This study shows that the companies interviewed who utilize offshoring are all taking care to create engagement, cohesion and clarity in their offshore offices. It also shows that companies can succeed with their offshore strategy without using agile development methods, contrary to what literature on the subject recommends.

It is the aim of this paper to examine, and analyze at a discursive level, the Swedish Democrats' interpretation of the term 'human rights', as this is presented in the material available on the party's official website. The goal is then to investigate in what manner the party portrays its political ambitions in relation to 'human rights'. The theoretical foundation for this analysis is discourse theory as it is presented in the works of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe.Furthermore, the aim is also to examine whether the Swedish Democrats? interpretation of 'human rights' is compatible with the established understanding of the term, such as this is presented in the international UN treaties on human rights. This will be done by thoroughly examining and comparing certain aspects of the Swedish Democrats' political ambitions, such as they have been portrayed in the analytical section of the paper, with relevant sections of the UN treaties..

The thesis ?Vi fixar och trixar oss fram till att hjälpa människor? focuses on social work in the field of prostitution and human trafficking in Sweden. Through semi-structured interviews with social workers in the municipalities of Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö working with persons selling and buying sex, and through discourse analysis, the author analyses the perceptions among these social workers of the relation between human rights, prostitution and human trafficking, and the social work which they conduct.The thesis concludes that although the social workers perceive prostitution and human trafficking and social work in this field as human rights related, they are not explicitly using a human rights based approach in their work.The thesis concludes that the social workers identify several aspects that infringe on the rights of their clients in relation to the human rights principles of Universality, Non-discrimination, Accountability and Rule of law and the principle of Participation and Inclusion. They portray the human rights situation of street based sellers, especially those not being Swedish citizens and those affected by human trafficking, as severe.The thesis concludes that the social workers find several obstacles (legal as well as structural) that diminish their ability to strengthen their clients? human rights situation.

Dagens hårda konkurrens och den ökande globaliseringen har medfört att företag måste utvärdera sina verksamheter för att kunna bedöma sin konkurrenskraft. Det gäller numera att kunna vara flexibel, vilket har lett till att under de senaste tio åren har företag sett outsourcing som ett bra verktyg för att uppnå konkurrenskraft och bli flexiblare. IT-funktionen är en resursintensiv del av verksamheten där det sker ständiga förändringar inom tekniken och metoderna hur den används. Detta har gjort att många företag har valt att outsourca delar av sin IT-verksamhet för att kunna fokusera på sin kärnverksamhet och därmed bli konkurrenskraftigare.Syftet med vår uppsats är att utifrån en jämförelse mellan svenska företag, oberoende av bransch, identifiera och analysera motiv och effekter av användandet av outsourcing gällande IT-funktioner. Vi vill därmed bidra med relevant information för teoretiker.Studien har avgränsats till att enbart fokusera på totalt fyra stycken medelstora till stora företag som har valt att outsourca IT-aktiviteter.

Information technology and globalization has led to an increasing competition and service production has been more and more independent of locations. This has made a market of outsourced telephone costumer service possible. Due to high establishment the market has been saturated and with that price has sunk. Customer companies have the last few years got more negative to outsourcing of their telephone customer service as they through operating the customer service internally want to get closer to their customers.In the empirical study the writers try to figure out which companies the callcenters should try to aim towards to get long and profitable cooperation. This will be done through deducing guiding principles from theories about how different factors around companies costumer service should look like.
