Om en arbetstagares alkoholbruk går ut över arbetsprestationen så ligger det i arbetsgivarens intresse att åtgärda det, antingen genom att se till att arbetstagarens arbetsprestation blir bättre igen eller genom att avbryta anställningen. I svensk arbetsrättslagstiftning är det dock viktigt att särskilja på om en arbetstagare isåfall lider av en alkoholsjukdom eller inte. Om det inte föreligger enWhen an employee’s alcohol habits affect their work, then it is in the employers interest to resolve the problem, either by helping the employee get better or by ending the employment. In swedish labour law, it is however important to distinguish cases between where an employee just abuses alcohol, and cases where an employee is suffering from an alcohol-related disease. If the employee isn’t sick

Agile Management is a management method based on the principles behind Agile Software Development. Compared to Traditional Management, Agile Management is more iterative and is therefore suited for fast paced and unsecure environ-­‐ ments. Even though agile is a fairly old methodology; there are few case studies outside the software industry. There are indi-­‐ cations, though, that Agile Managemen

Uppsatsen behandlar detaljplaner och vilken roll dessa har vid en kommande bygglovsprövning. Syftet är att utifrån den rättsdogmatiska metoden, utreda om det vid en bygglovsprövning uppkommer några problem med en detaljplan som inte har reglerat byggrätten samt om anpassnings- och omgivningskravet i 2 kap. PBL tillmäts större betydelse när sådana planer ska beaktas. Att en detaljplan inte har reg

Det svenska häktningsinstitutet har under decennier återkommande fått kritik från internationella konventionskommittéer. Den mest framträdande kritiken Sverige fått vidkännas har kommit från Europarådets kommitté för förhindrande av tortyr, Förenta nationernas kommitté mot tortyr och FN:s kommitté för barnets rättigheter. De två förstnämnda är kommittéer med sin grund i konventioner som avser allaFor decades, the Swedish Remand Institute has received repeated criticism from international convention committees. The most prominent criticism Sweden has received has come from the Council of Europe's Committee for the Prevention of Torture, the United Nations Committee against Torture and the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. The first two are committees based on conventions that app

Down to the roots is a project about just that; seeing where things come from and how are they made. I have a background in textile design which I wanted to enhance in this project. Therefore I wanted to examine the technique of tufting. This is a textile technique that is not talked about that much, but most of today’s carpets are made this way. In tufting threads are shot into a fabric, situate

The duty of utmost good faith in the marine insurance contract law and the duty of good faith in the general contract law are quite similar in nature. Former recognises that the parties must make true representation and must disclose all material information while latter recognises the duty of representation only and does not at all recognise the duty of disclosure. The parties in the marine insu

Internprissättningen spelar en allt större roll för multinationella företagsgrupper. EU-domstolen meddelade i början av 2010 dom i målet C-311/08 SGI i vilken de belgiska internprissättningsreglerna prövades. Domen har även betydelse för andra medlemsstater, och ett syfte med denna uppsats är att undersöka vilka implikationer domen har för motsvarande svenska regler. Internprissättningen bygger påTransfer pricing is becoming more and more important for multinational enterprises. In the beginning of 2010, the European Court of Justice passed an important judgment in case C-311/08 SGI in which the belgian transfer pricing rules were scrutinize, and the ruling should also be of importance to other member states. One purpose of this master thesis is to examine the implications this has on the

This paper stems from understanding how fast fashion retailers market their sustainability and how the retail space drives different forms of sustainable performances and consumption. Departing from a practice-based approach and practice theory, the study gives insights on how retailers actions in the production chain are translated in-store and online for consumers sense-making, performances and

The anticipated climate changes are predicted to alter the precipitation patterns in Sweden. Increased episodes of intense short-duration rainfall and higher intensities of day long-duration rainfall are expected. Road sections are often a target of flooding, causing impassable roads, due to the lack of capacity of drainage systems. One of the factors determining the water flow to a depression is

Long-term phenology monitoring has documented numerous examples of changing flowering dates during the last century. A pivotal question is whether these phenological responses are adaptive or not under directionally changing climatic conditions. We use a classic dynamic growth model for annual plants, based on optimal control theory, to find the fitness-maximizing flowering time, defined as the sw

Directional swimming in the box jellyfish Tripedalia cystophora (cubozoa, cnidaria) is controlled by the shape of the velarium, which is a thin muscular sheet that forms the opening of the bell. It was unclear how different patterns of visual stimulation control directional swimming and that is the focus of this study. Jellyfish were tethered inside a small experimental tank, where the four vertic

In August 2007 we went to New Zealand for a placement at Child Youth and Family Services. There our interest in Family Group Conferences (FGC) took off. FGC is not near as common in Sweden as in New Zealand. Therefore the purpose of this study was to examine how the Social Services in Helsingborg and Höör in Sweden and Belfast in Northern Ireland work with FGC. We had the privilege to go to Belfas

The overall aim with this essay was to study how counsellors at upper secondary school work with mental illness among youths and compare this with what research and theories advocate. This because there has been a rise in the number of people, especially in the age-group 16-24 years, suffering from different degrees of mental illnesses. The school can in some aspect contribute to cause mental illn

Our purposes with this essay was from the perspective of young people that has completed a stay at HVB-home, their parents and the social welfare secretaries get an apprehension on their way of looking at the purpose of placement in a HVB-home agrees with the comprehensive view of the placement. We also wish to get a picture of what is of important to change in this matter. How do they experience

The concept of business model offers several views on what it means and how it serves to enhance value capture, creation and delivery of an organization. However an organization which have experienced continuous growth, fails to realize the necessity for change. Moreover when the “wake up” call for change occurs, some factors, as the authors identify as inhibitors, severely hinders the urge to mov

The 21st century has developed so quickly digitally that information spreads so quickly through e-word-of-mouth. To effectively communicate, companies have to find a way to spread their own messages in a fast, unique way to entice their publics. In the fashion industry, instead of using their own websites and social media, which can be viewed as untrustworthy, many companies turn to partnerships w

The two main statistical themes are (i) the task of choosing the number of states to use in the model, and (ii) inference on time-varying transition probabilities. Our empirical applications span a wide array of topics in international finance and macro

Leflunomide is a low molecular weight immunosuppressive drug which inhibits the enzymes dehydroorotate dehydrogenase and protein tyrosine kinase, both of which are important components in the immune response. As the mechanisms of action of leflunomide and tacrolimus are different, we postulated an additive or synergistic effect of the two drugs and investigated the effects of leflunomide alone, or
