Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om när sjukdom kan utgöra sakliga skäl för uppsägning enligt 7 § lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (LAS). Utgångspunkten i svensk arbetsrätt är att sjukdom i sig inte utgör grund för uppsägning. Syftet är därför att klarlägga under vilka förutsättningar sjukdom ändå kan leda till en rättsenlig uppsägning.

Using the most recent data from various databases we have retrieved economic and health data from OECD member countries and analyzed it in regard to the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker, what we call Stringency index. We examine the effects on different economic variables such as GDP, exports, and unemployment, together with the health outcome variable excess mortality. In regard to our

René Descartes’ Meditations on First Philosophy explores foundational philosophical and theological questions through a method of radical skepticism. Central to this exploration is the concept of the evil demon, a hypothetical being that challenges human capacity to comprehend and perceive reality. Descartes’ meditations are pivotal to the development of rationalist philosophy, bridging epistemolo

Background: Treatment with antihypertensives in patients with advanced cancer is often continued until very late in the disease trajectory, despite a considerable risk of hypotension. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the time of deprescribing of antihypertensive agents in patients with cancer receiving palliative care during their last year of life. The monitoring of blood pres

In low-and middle-income countries, inadequate sanitation results in faecal contamination of the water used by urban farmers for irrigation. Consumers of raw contaminated vegetables run the risk of developing diarrhoeal diseases and helminth infections, which are a leading cause of under-five mortality and impact the well-being and productivity of millions of adults. This review identifies the evi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är resultatet av ett doktorandprojekt vid Kvartärgeologiska avdelningen, Lunds Universitet. Syftet med undersökningen var att rekonstruera vegetations-, klimat- och havsnivåförändringar på Skagi-halvön, norra Island, under sen-Weichsel och tidig-Holocen. Nordatlantområdet genomgick en serie dramatiska klimatväxlingar i samband med övergången från den sSediment sequences from five lakes on the Skagi peninsula, northern Iceland, were subjected to mineral magnetic analysis, carbon analysis, pollen analysis, plant macrofossil analysis, diatom analysis, radiocarbon dating and tephra analysis in order to make detailed reconstructions of vegetation, climate and sea level during the Late Weichselian and Early Holocene. The main purpose was to investiga

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and other neurotrophins are believed to play an important role in affective disorders. In this study we investigated plasma-BDNF response during an incremental exercise test in 18 patients suffering from moderate major depressive disorder (MDD) and 18 controls. The patients were not treated with antidepressants or neuroleptics. Possible associations between

Popular Abstract in English A central requirement in the design of bridge, or any structure, is that they are safe and do not fail unexpectedly. To ensure that such occurrences are acceptably rare involves predicting the various ways in which the bridge can fail and ensuring that provisions are made to prevent or control these potential failure. In other words, the risks associated with failure shEngineering design, in concise terms, is what engineers do using what they know. It is the underlying decision making activity that determines what is to be built and how it should be built. An ever present requirement in engineering design is that the structure should be safe. While historical approaches to safety in design relied on experience and engineering judgment, modern approaches have rat
