Arbetsdomstolen har aldrig prövat metodens tillförlitlighet av drogtester och dess betydelse för ett genomförande. När arbetsdomstolen tar ställning till en arbetstagares vägran att underkasta sig ett drogtest görs en avvägning. I avvägningen ställs arbetsgivarens intresse mot individens rätt till sin integritet. Omständigheter som beaktas är bla syftet med testet och testmetoden. Drogtestets tilThe reliability of drug tests and its significance when it comes to the employee´s obligation to take part in a drug test has never been put to trial in the Swedish Labour Court. An adjustment is made as the Labour Court comes to a decision regarding an employee’s refusal to comply to a drug test. In the adjustment the integrity of the individual is put against the employer’s interest. Circumstanc

Denna uppsats fokuserar på offentliga upphandlingar och behandlar begreppet onormalt låga anbud. Dessa anbudens låga nivå kan vara grundade i dolda motiv eller missförstånd från anbudsgivaren. Detta medför att den upphandlande myndigheten kan vilja förkasta det aktuella anbudet. Den låga nivån kan däremot lika gärna vara helt legitimt och bör därmed inte förkastas. Regelverket samt praxis på områdThis thesis focuses on public procurements and deals with the concept of abnormally low tenders. The low levels in a tender can be founded in a hidden agenda or in a misunderstanding by the tenderer. This means that the contracting authority may wish to reject the current offer. The low level, on the other hand, can just as easily be completely legitimate and should therefore not be discouraged. T

Popular summary The environmental and social consequences of predicted climate change are expected to be amplified in urban environments due to their elevated temperatures, which are attributable to a phenomenon known as the Urban Heat Island. As most types of vegetation can provide for cooler air temperatures due to their natural cooling effect, increasing amounts of vegetation in urban areas mig

Slope failure has resulted in significant disruption to the Scottish road network in recent years and failure processes are widely considered to pose a very real risk to both infrastructure and road users. The manifestation of proposed regional climate variations could increase the hazard posed by landslide and debris flow activity within upland environments. It is therefore in the interests of de
