Frågan om alkohol- och drogtester på arbetsplatser har blivit en alltmer framträdande och komplex fråga. Med en betydande ökning av sådana tester under de senaste åren har debatten om balansen mellan kontroll och personlig integritet intensifierats. Å ena sidan söker arbetsgivare att minimera risker associerade med alkohol- och droganvändning genom att skapa en säker och drogfri arbetsmiljö. Å andThe issue of alcohol and drug testing in the workplace has become an increasingly prominent and complex issue. With an increase in such tests in recent years, the debate about the balance between control and privacy has intensified. On the one hand, employers seek to minimize risks associated with alcohol and drug use by creating a safe and drug-free work environment. On the other hand, workers fa

NJA 2015 s. 702, ofta kallat Balkongmålet, har under åren väckt stor uppmärksamhet till följd av fallets introduktion av en ny bevisprövningsmetod. Modellen har kommit att kallas ”Balkongmetoden” och innebär att domstolen i första hand tar hänsyn till bevisningen till stöd för gärningsbeskrivningen. Bara i de fall åklagarens bevisning i sig uppnår beviskravet vägs denna mot bevisningen som talar tEver since the ‘Balcony case’ introduced a new way of evaluating evidence, the method has been a subject of debate. The evaluation model, known as the ‘Balcony method’, offers a step-by-step structure that initially reviews the evidence presented by the prosecutor. Only if this evidence independently meets the evidentiary requirement may the court continue to the next step of the evaluation and ta

Increasing climate change is causing a rise in natural disasters. One of the most common natural disasters in Sweden is flooding. Vulnerability is increasing due to urbanization and the removal of green spaces in Swedish cities. In the acute phase of a flooding, the municipal Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) are generally first to respond. In this thesis, the FRS’ management of flooding is reviewed

Under de senaste åren har det politiska intresset av en satsning på inhemska energiråvaror samt ett minskat utsläpp av växthusgaser ökat i Sverige. Genom dessa intressen anses torv kunna ha en betydelse i omställningen mot ett mer uthålligt svenskt energisystem. I takt med att torvens värde som energikälla uppmärksammats har även de myrområden som hyser detta lager av ofullständigt nedbrutna växtd

The two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of β-carotene (beta-carotene) in chloroform solution were investigated over the 590-790 nm wavelength range. The TPA was characterized using the open-aperture z-scan technique with picosecond pulses provided by a widely traveling-wave optical parametric amplifier (OPA) pumped with a Ti:sapphire laser amplifier. We found the 0.2-1 cm/GW values of two photo

BACKGROUND: Platelets are a critical element in coagulation and inflammation, and activated platelets are linked to cancer risk through diverse mechanisms. However, a causal relationship between platelets and risk of lung cancer remains unclear. METHODS: We performed single and combined multiple instrumental variable Mendelian randomization analysis by an inverse-weighted method, in addition to a

Broadband services require data rates that can only be achieved by using relatively high spectrum frequencies. At such high frequencies, the DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) signal is more susceptible to external noise sources, such as radio frequency interference and impulsive noise. This paper aims to characterize how the impulsive noise impacts on services and applications for a broadband system u

This discussion paper recognizes that the Glasgow Consensus Statement is not optimally useful unless it is disseminated widely. Knowledge and use of the consensus statement and its call for centering humanism in healthcare extend to medical and health organizations and groups beyond the International Conference on Communication in Healthcare and Patient Education and Counseling audiences, to profe

The sheet metal forming process is integral to the automotive industry, producing a variety of components essential for vehicle construction, including body panels, chassis parts, and structural supports. The process involves shaping thin metal sheets into desired forms using techniques such as bending, stretching, drawing, and stamping. In order to build high quality cars it is vital with an effi

Hanteringen av barn som misstänks för brott har varit ett omdebatterat ämne under de senaste åren, särskilt efter att det så kallade Kevinfallet uppmärksammades i media under 2017. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka om, och i så fall hur, skuldfrågan utreds och fastställs när barn under 15 år misstänks för brott. Vidare har syftet varit att undersöka vilka centrala intressen som prioriteChildren who are suspected of crimes have been a highly debated topic the last couple of years, especially after the so-called Kevin-case was brought up in the media in 2017. The purpose of this essay has been to examine if, and in that case how, the question of guilt is investigated and determined when children under the age of 15 are suspected of crimes. Furthermore, the purpose has been to exam

Samerna har levt i Sverige sedan tiden före kolonisering och landgränser. Trots det erkänner den svenska staten inte någon äganderätt till land och de har enbart vissa rättigheter inom sina traditionella landområden. Sverige har fått internationell kritik upprepade gånger för hur man behandlar samerna. Rätten till land och vatten liksom rätten till självbestämmande är omdiskuterade frågor som ejThe Sami have lived in Sweden since the time before colonization and land borders. Nevertheless, the Swedish state doesn’t recognize any ownership of land and only some rights within their traditional land. Sweden has received international criticism repeatedly for the treatment of the Sami. The right to land and water, as well as the right to self-determination, are debated issues that haven’t b

The report presents a bibliography of academic literature on transdisciplinary urban research. It includes journal articles, book chapters, and reports that engage with a wide range of theories, methods, evaluation techniques, and experiences of academic and non-academic stakeholders who conduct collaborative research on or related to cities.

The aim of this report is to provide insights on the expertise, knowledge, and experiences of conducting transdisciplinary urban research. To gather insights, we developed a set of questions based on a review of transdisciplinary research publications from 2010 to 2023 in the disciplines of Architecture, Planning, Geography, Urban Studies, and Sustainability Science. We used these questions as a g

This report summarises the insights we developed by conducting a literature review of the dominant approaches and experiences of transdisciplinary urban research. We conducted a World Wide Web search to identify key academic and non-academic publications between 2010 and 2023 in the disciplines of Architecture, Planning, Geography, Urban Studies, and Sustainability Science. We focused on those con

This report provides a summary of 11 visualisations that have been developed by scholars who are engaged in transdisciplinary urban research. We identified the visualisations through a review of academic literature in the disciplines of Architecture, Planning, Geography, Urban Studies, and Sustainability Science between 2010 to 2023. Some of the visualisations are original while others are derived

Background: Exertional breathlessness is a cardinal symptom of people with chronic airflow limitation (CAL) and can be evaluated using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Research Question: Does abnormally high exertional breathlessness in relationship to the rate of oxygen uptake (V′O2) and minute ventilation (V′E) indicate different underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms and clinical charac

Popular Abstract in Swedish Introduktion Aggressivt antisocialt beteende utgör en stor utmaning för dagens samhälle, och undersökningar av vad som ligger bakom ett återkommande sådant beteende behövs för utvecklingen av våldspreventiva insatser.
