År 2015 infördes bristande tillgänglighet som en självständig diskrimineringsform i den svenska diskrimineringslagen, i syfte att stärka delaktigheten i arbetslivet för personer med funktionsnedsättning. Trots reformen visar statistik att skillnader i sysselsättning, arbetsförmåga och upplevd diskriminering fortsatt är betydande i jämförelse med övriga befolkningen. Detta aktualiserar centrala rätIn 2015, lack of accessibility was introduced as a separate form of discrimination in the Swedish Discrimination Act. The reform aimed to improve access to employment for people with disabilities. Despite this change, statistics show that large differences in employment, work capacity and experiences of discrimination remain compared to the rest of the population. This raises important legal quest

Den svenska statens primära ansvar att garantera skyddet av de grundläggande fri- och rättigheterna som följer av den europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna (Europakonventionen) vilar bland annat på Sveriges förpliktelser som part till Europakonventionen. Detta ansvar har inneburit en betydande påverkan på den svenska skadeståndsrätten. Mer The Swedish state’s primary responsibility to guarantee the protection of the rights and freedoms set forth in the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (the Convention) is, among other things, based on Sweden’s obligations as a party to the Convention. This responsibility has significantly impacted Swedish tort law. More specifically, it concerns the ability of in

Non-invasive methods for measuring thermal tolerance and thermoregulation in large numbers of individuals under natural environmental conditions are useful to understand the capacity of species to adapt to future climate scenarios. Infrared thermography (IRT) is one such tool in research on thermal adaptation, but concerns have been raised about its reliability, specifically the correlation betwee

In recent years, social work with migrants and ethnic minorities has developed as a field of research and practice. Further, it is recognised in the literature that the increased processes of human mobility in today’s societies have driven a growing focus on inclusive cities, especially in larger urban areas where ethnic diversity and cultural heterogeneity can be found alongside newly arrived mig

Channel fabrication technology has become increasingly important for microfluidic and nanofluidic devices. In particular, glass channels have high chemical and physical stability, high optical transparency, and ease of surface modification, so that there is increasing interest in glass microfluidic devices for chemical experiments in microfluidics and nanofluidics. For the fabrication of glass cha

Mobility is one of the most fundamental aspects of a foraging society. Since prehistoric mobility is often difficult to identify in the archaeological record, our understanding is largely based on comparison with ethnographic communities. In recent years the application of 87Sr/86Sr isotope analysis has, however, greatly broadened our knowledge of mobility in the past. Despite this, few studies ha

Reducing emissions is a priority for all vessels, as global warming is accelerating, and emissionregulations are becoming ever stricter. Still, waterborne transport is the most energy efficientalternative in many cases, and in some cases the only alternative. Vessels in the maritime sectoroperate far from electric charging infrastructure, and have large demands in terms of autonomy, so tobe able t

A commercially available fuel, E85, a blend of ~85% ethanol and ~15% gasoline, can be a viable substitute for fossil fuels in internal combustion engines in order to achieve a reduction of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Ethanol is traditionally made of biomass, which makes it a part of the food-feed-fuel competition. New processes that reuse waste products from other industries have recently

The pulp and paper industry is one of the most important industrial sectors worldwide and has a great potential to be the nucleus for the future bio-economy. Today’ pulp industry is mainly focusing on the production of cellulose fibres and electricity, while its future potential includes the production of bio-chemicals, bio-fuels and advanced materials. In order to fulfil their future role, pulp m

Cosmogenic radionuclide records (e.g., 10Be and 14C) contain information on past geomagnetic dipole moment and solar activity changes. Disentangling these signals is challenging, but can be achieved by using independent reconstructions of the geomagnetic dipole moment. Consequently, solar activity reconstructions are directly influenced by the dipole moment uncertainties. Alternatively, the known

PURPOSE: No consensus exists regarding follow-up recommendations for suspected pituitary microadenoma in children. To address this knowledge gap, we investigated the growth potential of pituitary solid and cystic lesions <10 mm in children and evaluated the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements.METHODS: The children included were <18 years at first pituitary MRI and radiologica

Finansiella tjänster är undantagna från mervärdesskatt och har varit det sedan långt tillbaka. I samband med skattereformen 1990 diskuterades huruvida den generella skatteplikten som gäller för omsättning av varor och tjänster skulle komma att innefatta även finansiella tjänster. Dessa diskussioner ledde emellertid inte till något mer konkret än ett förslag till en särskild skatt i den finansiellaFinancial services are exempt from VAT and have been that for a long time. When the 1990 Swedish-tax reform took place it was discussed whether the overall tax liability applicable to sales of goods and services would also include financial services. The discussions did not lead to anything more concrete than a proposal for a special tax in the financial sector. Technical difficulties, mainly rela

The aim of this master thesis is to investigate a new control principal for Haldex Limited Slip Coupling. HLSC can be characterized as a hydraulic slip coupling intended to be part of a 4WD-system for passenger vehicles fitted between the front and rear axle. The investigation is to be both theoretical and practical. The current system can be described with the three following functional blocks: <

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Drick ett glas goda bakterier Man har länge vetat att det i distributionsnät av dricksvatten växer bakterier i form av biofilm. Denna biofilm kan stabilisera vattenkvaliteten men kan också vara orsaken till vissa hälsoproblem eftersom den kan innehålla patogener, virus och protozoer. Djupare förståelse om hur biofilmer är uppbyggda och fungerar är också av int
