Abstract The economic crisis of the 1990s brought about a paradigm shift in the macro economic priorities of Swedish governments. The economic crisis also brought about a fundamental and structural reorganization of the Swedish social insurance system. Social insurance was to be concentrated. The component that was to be most affected by the concentration was the sickness insurance. From now and o
På uppdrag av regeringen har Socialstyrelsen utrett var ett nationellt centrum för kunskap om våld och andra övergrepp mot barn, med målet att samla in och förmedla kunskap, ska inrättas. Om regeringen beslutar i enlighet med förslaget kommer kunskapscentret att förläggas vid Linköpings universitet och kallas Barnafrid. Under våren år 2015 kritiserades Sverige av FN:s barnrättskommitté för att aktThe National Board of Health and Welfare has, on behalf of the govern-ment, investigated where to establish a national centre for knowledge about violence and other abuse of children with the aim to collect and pass on knowledge. The board has suggested that the centre should be located at Linköping University and be named Barnafrid. In the spring of 2015 the United Nations Committee on the Rights
Den här texten behandlar auktorisationsregler, med ett särskilt fokus på lärarlegitimationer. Det huvudsakliga syftet är att avgöra om utformandet av lärarlegitimationsreformen var det riktiga för att uppnå syftet med reformen, men texten fungerar även som en sammanställning av gällande rätt. Det är särskilt viktigt för lärarlegitimationer, där reglerna aldrig satts i något sammanhang. De auktorisThis text is a treatment on occupational licensing, with a focus on certification for teachers. The main purpose is to determine if the format used when the certification was implemented in 2011 was the right way to accomplish the purpose of the reform. The text also works as a summary of applicable law, which is important regarding teachers, since it has never been done before. The examined occup
During the last decades a brownification of the lakes and streams in the northern hemisphere has been observed. The change has been attributed to an increase of organic content in the water, leached from the top soil layers, called humic substances. Several theories have been proposed to explain the drivers behind the brownification process, among them the decrease of sulfur deposition from reduce
In this thesis a system for tracking the fingers of a user using sound waves is developed. The proposed solution is to attach a small speaker to each finger and then have a number of microphones placed ad hoc around a computer monitor listening to the speakers. The system should then be able to track the positions of the fingers so that the coordinates can be mapped to the computer monitor and be
The primary purpose of this thesis is to assess policy measures promoting the uptake and use of low-carbon technologies in urban road freight transport (URFT) in Oslo, Norway. This sector has historically received little attention compared to passenger and public transport, but contribute to significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, noise, and other negative health effects. Low-carbon vehicles i
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det aktuella arbetet kompletterar Karolina Bjärnborgs masteruppsats från 2009 (Examensarbete Berggrundsgeologi Nr. 240) i samma ämne. Avsikten med arbetet är att testa och styrka hennes resultat med ytterligare prov och analyser. Syftet med båda projekten är att bestämma vilka malmmineral som finns och deras kemiska sammansättning i en kopparmineralisering i ZinThe Zinkgruvan Mining AB, situated in south-central Sweden in Örebro County, south-east of Åmmeberg, plans to expand their production on a massive, carbonate hosted copper-sulphide ore deposit, the Burkland Cu-mineralization in the eastern part of Knalla. At present mainly Zn-Pb-Ag are mined. The deformed Cu-mineralization belongs to the south-western Bergslagen ore province. It is of Paleoprotero
The industrialization of the Swedish construction industry has long stood in the shadow of the traditional construction methods. Problems such as high costs, long construction times and tough regulations have made the development stagnate. However, the industrial manufacturing industry has shown rapid growth within recent years. The culture within the industry has changed through innovative constr
Uppsatsen behandlar beviskravet i brottmål och alternativa hypoteser i förhållande till åklagarens gärningspåstående. Beviskravet innebär att rättens övertygelse om den tilltalades skuld ska vara ställd bortom rimligt tvivel. Eftersom att lagreglering saknas om beviskravet har detta fastställts i praxis. Komplikationerna med ämnet är huvudsakligen att det inte klargjorts utförligt, i varken doktriThe thesis concerns with the evidence requirement in criminal processes and alternative hypotheses in relation to the prosecutor's accusation of crime. The requirement of proof means that the court's conviction of the defendant's debt must be “beyond reasonable doubt”. Due to lack of legislation on the proof requirement, it has instead been established in court practice. The mainly com
Popular Abstract in Swedish Psoriasis är en av våra vanligaste folksjukdomar, som drabbar 2-3 % av den vuxna befolkningen. Man vet i dag att många patienter med psoriasis lider av psykisk ohälsa och sänkt livskvalitet. Sjukdomen i sig innebär ofta en stor psykologisk påfrestning för patienten, men stress och psykisk ohälsa också kan vara en viktig orsak till insjuknande och återfall av psoriasis. Psychological distress is well known to be associated with psoriasis, both as a disease consequence, and as a causative factor for onset and exacerbations. Psychoneuroimmunological mechanisms have been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and have often been shown to be related to psychological distress and pruritus in psoriasis. The general aim of this thesis was to investig
In 1947 the municipalities in Sweden received the monopoly to decide on and plan their land. Despite this, over 80 percent of the municipalities in Sweden say they experience lack of housing today. This thesis applies The Homevoter Hypothesis introduced by William A. Fischel in 2001 to try to explain why some municipalities are not able to construct enough housing for their inhabitants. The hypoth
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka gränslandet mellan offentlig upphandling, entreprenadrätt och försäkringsrätt. Fokus ligger på att analysera fullgörandeförsäkringens funktion och de problem som kan uppstå vid dess tillämpning i relation till standardavtalen AB 04 och ABT 06 samt Lagen om offentlig upphandling (LOU). Målet med uppsatsen är att belysa hur ekonomiska krav i offentlig upphandlinThis thesis aims to examine the intersection of public procurement law, construction contract law, and insurance law. The focus is on analyzing the function of performance bonds (known in Sweden as "fullgörandeförsäkring") and the challenges that can arise in their application in relation to the standard agreements AB 04 and ABT 06, as well as the Swedish Public Procurement Act (LOU).

Från förbränning av industri- och hushållsavfall erhålls bland annat restprodukten slagg, vilket är bottenaskan från förbränningen. Varje år skapas stora volymer både i Sverige och i övriga Europa. Den naturliga processen karbonatisering, vilken involverar en reaktion mellan luftens koldioxid och kalcium i materialet, startar då slagg efter förbränning kommer i kontakt med luft. Karbonatiseringen
Coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) light sources are necessary for the investigation of physical processes in the natural length and time scales of atoms. These experiments require a high degree of control of the coherent XUV light. The optical components and techniques, which are available for visible and infrared light, unfortunately cannot be used for controlling XUV light. In this thesis, nove
Överprövningsorganet i WTO har varit ur funktion sedan 2019, vilket i prak-tiken har satt hela tvistlösningssystemet i fara eller till och med gjort det helt obrukbart. Det började när USA började blockera utnämningsprocessen till överprövningsorganet och till sist offentliggjorde ett 174-sidigt dokument som ett slags ”casus belli” för sina handlingar. Detta dokument innehöll deras juri-diska invä
Most companies and organizations are primarily interested in universities' educational activities and to a lesser extent in universities' research activities. Against this background, it is strange that the research on collaboration between universities and the surrounding society is primarily directed towards research collaboration between universities and companies/organizations and to a lesser
BACKGROUND: Neck pain remains a persistent challenge in modern society and is frequently encountered across a wide range of occupations, particularly those involving repetitive and monotonous tasks. It might be expected that patterns of trapezius muscle activity at work, characterized by few breaks and prolonged periods of sustained muscle activity, are linked to neck pain. However, previous cross

Popular Abstract in Swedish Konkurrensen har ökat markant under 2000-talet med ökad globalisering och hållbarhetstrender. Ständigt pågående teknologiska utvecklingar har medfört att kraven på rätt kvalitet på varor och tjänster har ökat. Tillverkare måste också följa skärpningar inom lagstiftning och krav på spårbarhet. Det har sammantaget lett till att det ställs allt hårdare krav på effektiv förToday’s trends are the ever growing competition with increased globalization and sustainability. Together with ongoing technological developments and the demand for right quality of products and services, this has also resulted in increased demands for legislation and traceability. This development has also had an impact on packaging and Packaging Logistics. This thesis deals with packaging, logis
