Den offentliga sektorn i Sverige har historiskt genomsyrats av transparens och skydd för arbetstagares rättigheter. Yttrandefrihet och meddelarskydd är rättigheter som utgör kärnan för demokrati. Trots att arbetsrättsligt skydd är en kärnfråga i Sverige, uppstår frågor om hur långt skyddet egentligen sträcker sig. Syftet med denna uppsats är att genomföra och förmedla en sådan analys på ämnet. ÅrThe Swedish public sector has historically been characterized by transparency and the protection of employees. Freedom of speech and the messenger protection are rights that constitutes the core of democracy. Despite the protection of workers is a Swedish core value, questions concerning the width of the protection arise. The purpose of this essay is to pursue and mediate such an analysis on the m

Using active radar for localization in indoor environments is challenging. By signal reflection off walls and other static objects, false targets occur, referred to as multipath "ghosts". These are a significant hinder in interpreting the data. For this reason mapping out problematic surfaces that produce reflections is an important task, preferably without prior knowledge of the room ge

VAD SKA VI MED KYLTORN TILL? Vad skulle kyltorn kunna ha med Sveriges hållbarhetsmål att göra? Enorma mängder energi går åt till att kyla processer och det är inte helt osannolikt att den går till kyltorn. Att kyla med kyltorn är effektivt, men värmen är bortkastad till luften. Om man kunde göra något med energin skulle det kunna liknas med en outnyttjad guldåder. Sverige följer åtagandet i AgendAchieving a sustainable Swedish industry will require better utilization of resources already available and already spent. Nationally, vast amounts of heat are released into the atmosphere and not made use of. If only a fraction of this energy could be exploited, the path to net zero emission society by 2045 would be thousands of tons worth of CO2 closer. In Sweden, 25% of excess heat delivered to

En ny underfamilj av cellulära vakter i växter Heterologt överuttryck av proteiner innebär att en gen som kodar för ett protein uttrycks i en annan värdorganism som normalt inte har den genen i sin arvsmassa. Inom biokemisk forskning är detta en viktig metod för att kunna studera proteiners struktur och funktion. Tyvärr kan uttrycket av en främmande gen medföra skador på värdorganismens celluläraHeterologous overexpression of proteins signifies that the encoding gene of a protein in one organism is expressed in another host organism that normally does not have that gene in its genome. In basic biochemical research, this is an important method for studying various protein functions such as activity and interactions in biological processes, as well as obtaining sufficient amounts to determi

Denna rapport är en utvärdering av brandskyddet med avseende på personsäkerheten i Lunds domkyrka. Lunds domkyrka uppfördes på 1100-talet och ligger i centrala Lund. I kyrkan hålls en mängd olika evenemang, vid stora evenemangen kan uppemot 950 personer vistas i kyrkan. Ett virtuellt platsbesök hölls med domkyrkokamrerare Mats Persson och Elisabet Nord som är ansvarig för vaktmästeriet den 25 marThe following report is an evaluation of human safety in Lund Cathedral with regards to a potential fire and evacuation. With the help of a virtual visit to the cathedral, pictures and statistics from The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), a general risk assessment was conducted in which possible fire- and evacuation scenarios were identified. A qualitative assessment of the probability and

Over the last decade, the number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the world's roads has rapidly increased. Optimization of power consumption in electric powertrains will, therefore, lead to reduced energy usage in the road transport sector. EPOS, is a research project that aims to optimize EV powertrains, with the objectives to minimize cost and power consumption. As a part of the EPOS project, t

In the last decade Central and Eastern Europe faced surge in foreign capital inflows and economic growth. Foreign direct investment played significant role in forming government policies, development in the infrastructure and national income generation. While most research has been done on FDI impact on per capita real GDP growth, this paper takes alternative approach and examines the effects of t

Strukturella och petrologiska studier av komplext veckade mafiskt- och felsiskt varvade sekvenser har genomförts i den paraautoktona delen av Svekonorvegiska provinsen i sydvästra Sverige. Tre deformationsfaser (D1, D2, D3) innefattande minst två veckfaser (F2, F3) och två lineationsfaser (L2, L3) karakteriserar ett flerfasigt veck i migmatiserad och mycket kompetent granatamfibolit. Denna enhet vStructural and petrological studies on complexly folded mafic and felsic layered sequences have been mapped in the parautochthonous basement of the Sveconorwegian Province, Sweden. Three deformation phases (D1, D2, D3)involving at least two fold phases (F2, F3) and two lineation phases (L2, L3) characterize a polyphase fold, which is primarily defined by a migmatized and highly competent garnet am

Det finns inga internationella åtaganden som innebär en skyldighet för Sverige att ge parter i tvistemål tillgång till en prövning av en andra instans. Dock ska parter enligt Europakonventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna tillförsäkras en rätt till domstolsprövning och en rättssäker process. En möjlighet till överprövning av den första instansens avgöranEven though the definition of legal certainty is controversial, it may be considered generally accepted that the substantive aspect of legal certainty requires that judicial decisions are substantially right. It is also quite clear that the formal aspect of legal certainty includes a requirement of predictability concerning judicial decision making. Sweden has no enforceable international obliga

In 2003 France introduced an ecologic protection zone off its Mediterranean coast. In that zone France has jurisdiction regarding environmental protection. This thesis will examine whether the zone is in conformity with existing international law and whether it was a necessary measure despite all the existing environmental protection in the Mediterranean Sea area. The thesis is structured as a com

Interpretations of the term Corporate Social Responsibility are many, but academics have achieved approximate consensus about what it consists of. An issue that started off as an interest- and motive-based activity for businesses is becoming more commonplace and has increased in importance over time. Governments have a role to play in ensuring that corporations behave according to the rules and no

This Licentiate thesis aims to gain understanding related to the fluid behavior in porous media existent in fuel cells (FCs) at microscale. In order to achieve this; the widely used methodology for solving problems in porous media has been applied, the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). LBM presents several advantages to solve problems where the microstructural architecture is complex. The introduc

We present a network of sites across Fennoscandia for optical sampling of vegetation properties relevant for phenology monitoring and satellite data calibration. The network currently consists of five sites, distributed along an N-S gradient through Sweden and Finland. Two sites are located in coniferous forests, one in a deciduous forest, and two on peatland. The instrumentation consists of dual-

Since 1984, 577 knee arthroplasty operations were performed in Al Razi Orthopedic hospital in Kuwait. An increase in the number of these operations occurred during the last four years and in 2007 there were almost 100 knee arthroplasty operations performed. Six out of seven operated patients were female. The mean age at operation was 67 years for male and 62 years for female patients. The vast maj

In the study presented in this paper, experimental data from a pneumatic hybrid has been compared to the results from a simulation of the engine in GT-Power. The engine in question is a single-cylinder Scania D12 diesel engine, which has been converted to work as a pneumatic hybrid. The base engine model, provided by Scania, is made in GT-Power and it is based on the same engine configuration as t

The aim of this paper is to illuminate and discuss the political and ideological aspects of Early Medieval Nordic music. Due to shortage of sources, this issue has been overlooked until now. Did Early Medieval Nordic music meet the requirements for political and ideological use? In what ways could music potentially be used politically and ideologically? Was music used as a political and ideologica
