Sweden’s District councils and Country councils are in itself to a large extent responsible for the state financed welfare. Because of this, Sweden has a contribution- and adjustment system. The reason for this system is to create equal chance, for all District councils and Country councils, to be able to give the citizens service independently of their income and non-influential structural differ

The need to understand how carbon cycles through the Earth-system is important for a variety of reasons, but mainly in order to assess the effects of these rising green
Sen ankomst för arbetstagare är ett problem som sällan tvistas om i domstol, och avgörs inte särskilt ofta till arbetsgivarens favör när denne vill säga upp arbetstagare på denna grund. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vad som gäller angående arbetsgivarens uppsägningsrätt i fall av denna typ utifrån diverse rättskällor, och hur frågan hanteras i praktiken av företag och fackliga ombudsmän då det kaLate arrival for work by an employee is an issue that is rarely tested in trial, nor does the employer win cases of this type very often.

Bilden av Sverige som ett land utan grov organiserad brottslighet har successivt kommit att förändras. Grov organiserad brottslighet är inte längre något som svenskarna enbart associerar med södra Italien och Francis Ford Coppolas kultförklarade film Gudfadern. Som en del av denna utveckling inleddes under 2007 regeringens mobilisering mot grov organiserad brottslighet, vilken i huvudsak har kommiThe self-image of Sweden as a country without organized crime has gradually been changing. Organized crime is no longer something that the Swedes associate with southern Italy or Francis Ford Coppola’s cult film The Godfather. In 2007, the Swedish government initiated a mobilization against organized crime, which in essence came to mean two things. Firstly, the government founded an extensive coop
Abstract This study tested the effect of environmental concentrations of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) sertraline on the life history of Daphnia magna and how individual-level responses could predict effects on population growth rate. Individual-level responses related to reproduction, growth and feeding were quantified in a 39-day bioassay and used in a life-table matrix. Alt

A warehouse has a major impact on a firm’s service levels, response times and overall cost. To meet
I Sverige finns en rättstradition att läkare utan att riskera åtal, på grund av olika ansvarsfrihetsprinciper, kan utföra ingrepp på en patient som i straffrättslig mening annars hade klassats som brott. Den ansvarsfrihetsprincip som är av störst vikt för läkare är den om social adekvans. Till skillnad från övriga ansvarsfrihetsprinciper är denna princip inte lagstadgad och är i stället formuleradThere is a legal tradition in Sweden that doctors without risking prosecution, due to different discharge principles, can perform procedures on a patient that otherwise would be classified as crimes. The most important discharge principle for doctors is the principle of social adequacy. Unlike other discharge principles, this principle is not statutory and is formulated as a principle of law. It i

Det är lagen om offentlig upphandling som sätter de yttersta ramarna för hur upphandlande myndigheter ska gå tillväga vid inköp av varor, tjänster och byggentreprenader. Som utgångspunkt omfattas både statliga och kommunala myndigheter av bestämmelserna om offentlig upphandling. Desto svårare blir bedömningen när det gäller sådana organ som inte betraktas som myndigheter, men som samtidigt genom fThe Swedish Public Procurement Act is the legal framework that governs the proceedings of contracting authorities when purchasing public supply contracts, public service contracts and public works contracts.

This thesis applies a Foucauldian genealogy to examine the power relations in global univer-sity rankings, by analysing three strategic reports from Lund University. The strategic reports are from 1995-2000, 2012-2016, and 2017-2026. The theory applied is Foucault’s pow-er/knowledge theory. The research question that guides this thesis is What signs of adaptation to rankings can be identified in t
