Idag finns det uppsägningsregler inom arbetsrätten som möjliggör det för arbetsgivaren att särbehandla på grund av ålder vid anställningens upphörande, vilket resulterar i att arbetstagare kan komma att missgynnas på grund av ålder. Samtidigt finns det diskrimineringsregler som ska skydda mot åldersdiskriminering, bland annat inom arbetslivet. Därför undersöker denna uppsats hur uppsägningsreglernToday, there are termination rules in the labor law which enable the employer to take age into account in certain termination situations, which results in workers being disadvantaged due to age.

I svensk rätt saknas lagstiftning som reglerar kommersiella entreprenadavtal. Istället regleras sådana avtal genom särskilda standardavtal som utarbetats av branschföreträdare under flera decennier. AB 04 är ett av de mest centrala standardavtalen på den kommersiella entreprenadrättens område. Syftet med denna framställning är att utreda innebörden av garantiansvaret i AB 04 kap. 5 § 5. Enligt deThere is no legislation regulating construction contracts between commercial parties in Sweden. Instead, these types of contracts are governed by special standard-form contracts that have been developed by industry representatives over several decades.

System on Chip (SoC) designs contain a variety of Intellectual Property (IP) cores, including digital signal processing blocks, media and graphics processing units, as well as processing core units that employ multiple-port memories to enhance performance and bandwidth. These memories allow parallel read/write operations from the same memory blocks from different ports. Due to the enormous number

Academic research on a global level and somewhat in Sweden has addressed the risks queer refugees face, uncovering vulnerabilities, their responses, and views on the agency.
