Det framgår av 7 § LAS att en uppsägning måste vara sakligt grundad. Vad som utgör saklig grund för uppsägning finns inte närmare angett i lag mer än att en uppsägning inte är sakligt grundad om det är skäligt att arbetsgivaren erbjuder arbetstagaren annat arbete hos sig, 7 § 2 st. LAS. Arbetsgivarens omplaceringsskyldighet gäller både vid uppsägningar på grund av personliga skäl och uppsägningar For a dismissal to be lawful it must fulfil the just cause requirement stipulated in Section 7 of LAS. The just cause requirement is not defined in neither LAS nor any other statute.

This paper studies how Sylva Plath’s The Bell Jar can be read from a feminist perspective and, in turn, what some possible benefits and potential risks of teaching the novel and feminist literary criticism to upper secondary school students of English in Sweden are.

Searching for ways to improve organizational performance and respond to a growing demand for quality products and services in a rapidly changing environment, this subject is of special interest of managers in both public and private organizatio
In this study it is theorized that the world market price of a certain commodity should affect the intensity of the violence in conflict zones in which this commodity is produced. This is tested on the Second Congo War and the continuing violence since, using statistical methods to analyse the effect of the world market price of gold, diamonds, oil, tin, copper, cobalt and coltan. The methods used
Urban greening is increasingly promoted as a strategy for sustainable city development, yet it often carries hidden social costs. This thesis explores the green rehabilitation of Budapest’s 8th district, Józsefváros, a historically diverse neighbourhood undergoing significant change. Using critical urban theory, the right to the city, and feminist urbanism, this study examines how sustainable urba
Deklinationsdata från sedimentära borrkärnor från sjöarna Kälksjön, Gyltigesjön, Byestadsjön, Mötterudstjärnet, Furskogstjärnet, Frängsjön och Särsjön visar västlig riktning i den övre delen. Denna västliga riktning följer inte paleomagnetiska modeller och är missvisande. Med hjälp av Microsoft Excel har dessa missvisningar korrigerats och använts för att skapa en svensk version av FENNOSTACK, kalDeclination data from cores from swedish lake sediments show a westward declination in the upper part of most cores. This does not align with paleomagnetic models and is therefore considered false. Using Microsoft Excel these false values have been corrected and used in a swedish version of FENNOSTACK called SWESTACK. SWESTACK gives a mean value with 95\% confidence of the declination over the per
This chapter aims to establish a conceptual framework for analyzing the EU legal space and its core-periphery dynamics, notably the extension of EU legal frameworks and policies beyond the territorial borders of the Union. It investigates how the EU legal space is defined, how its cores and peripheries are structured, and how they interact, evolve, and influence each other. The chapter argues that
This master thesis invites the reader to acquire and examine new evidence about an emerging and growing sub-genre type of documentary film called Ayahuasca documentary.

These films suggest a growing cultural int
This thesis explores the intersection of ceremonial spaces and the concept of “the thinking hand” in architecture, with a focus on the design of secular spaces for funerals and burials in the context of Sweden’s increasing secularization. Drawing upon Juhani Pallasmaa’s “The Thinking Hand,” the thesis emphasizes the importance of embodied knowledge, sensory experiences, and materiality in architec
Biological tissues possess the ability to adapt according to the respective local loading conditions, which results in growth and remodelling phenomena. The main goal of this work is the development of a new remodelling approach that, on the one hand, reflects the alignment of fibrous soft biological tissue with respect to representative loading directions. On the other hand, the continuum approac
The study investigates how the early nineteenth century invention of comparative-historical linguistics affected European ethnohistoric thought, and how this process altered ethnohistorical research on the early, pre-Christian history of the Nordic region.
