Den här komparativa studien redogör för skillnaderna mellan Sverige och England vid uppsägningsfall som hänför sig till personliga skäl, specifikt misskötsamhet och sjukdom. Syftet är att se hur de båda länderna skiljer sig åt innan och vid uppsägningsfall som hänför sig till personliga skäl. För att göra jämförelsen är studien grundad i en rättsdogmatisk metod. De rättskällor som främst använts ä
Hieracium incurrens Saelan ex Norrl., originally described from Finland, has been reported from Sweden several times and independently by different authors. Still, however, its presence in Sweden has remained dubious and it has become obvious that the different reports are referable to different taxa and the name has thus been, at least partially, misapplied. In the present study, all Swedish mate
Given the surprise electoral victory in May 2013 of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, which was attained on a recurrent platform of reform and change, this article seeks to investigate Iran's reform discourse by looking at how it systematically developed under President Mohammad Khatami (1997–2005). Its chief purpose is to delineate the discourse in a retrospective analytical attempt to show why i
Measurements of the midrapidity transverse-energy distribution, dE(T)/d eta, are presented for p + p, d+Au, and Au+Au collisions atv root s(NN) = 200 GeV and additionally for Au+Au collisions atv root s(NN) = 62.4 and 130 GeV. The dE(T)/d eta distributions are first compared with the number of nucleon participants N-part, number of binary collisions N-coll, and number of constituent-quark particip
Summary In the majority of the field studies reviewed in this report samples were exposed outdoors above ground and only the average moisture content was determined. Therefore, no information is given about the moisture content in joints and other moisture traps. In many of the field studies, information on relative humidity, temperature, rainfalls etc. is missing and consequently these field stud
Objective: Developmental programming alters growth and metabolic outcome in children born small for gestational age (SGA). We explored insulin and glucose metabolism in SGA children treated with a fixed GH dose over 1 year. Methods: In the North European Small for Gestational Age Study (NESGAS), 110 short SGA children received GH at 67 mu g/kg/day for 1 year. Insulin secretion was assessed by acut
There is a need for large trials that test the clinical effectiveness of interventions in the field of perioperative medicine. Clinical outcome measures used in such trials must be robust, clearly defined and patient-relevant. Our objective was to develop standards for the use of clinical outcome measures to strengthen the methodological quality of perioperative medicine research. A literature sea
In this essay I try to look into how to bring a new concept to an already established Viking village and how to develop the existing one. This essay also sheds light on some negative sides that a Viking village can experience in their activity. I have interviewed responsible persons at three different Viking villages: Foteviken Museum and Viking Reserve, Fornföreningen Fibulas Viking village and
Statkraft is Europe’s largest renewable energy company, operating in 23 countries, and employs more than 3000 staff. The company generates and develops renewable energy in a broad range, hydropower, gas power, wind power, district heating and is one of the major players on the European power exchange Nord Pool. This thesis will primarily focus on assessing Statkraft’s potential and strategic compe
In Sweden there is an ongoing debate about how to come to terms with the inequality between men and women that still permeates society in different ways. One of the measures proposed is the one through affirmative action on the parental allowance. My aim with the study is to analyze the standpoint in the matter, of three Swedish political parliament parties to try to discern if there is a lack of
Since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, scholars have increasingly turned their attention to the rise and influence of jihadi Salafism. For the most part, though, the focus of this body of work has been on the sociology and activities of organizations such as al-Qaʿeda (AQ) and the Islamic State (IS), with less attention paid to the details of the movements’ ideologies.This, however, should not sugge
This essay deals with a new kind of internet trading and/or gaming, where the interplay between the consumer and the producer is found to be a variation of the Dollar auction. The question is asked how this market should be viewed, which parties are involved as well as whether the market should be regulated or not. In order to gain an overview of the market, the market was compared to different es

The first one is to reduce by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio and the second one is to achieve universal access to reproductive health. The main question in this study is why the millennium development goal about improving ma
The main purpose of this paper is to identify a relationship between different approaches to accumulate cash and companies’ market values between periods of different economic conditions. Our thesis contributes with information that helps firm managers decide how to increase cash holdings. We come to the conclusion that firms increase their cash holdings by decreasing investments in research and d
The hub and main characteristic of Islamic banking is the prohibition of interest (riba), and this is the most significant difference between an Islamic bank and a conventional bank. The proscription has evolved from the stance that making money from money is unacceptable. Riba is often referred to as interest and usury, but it has often been disputed whether the expression involves both terms. Ne

This study investigates the cross-linguistic interference between speakers of Russian (as a first language or L1), Danish (as a second language, or L2) and English (as a third language, or L3) in terms of rising intonation patterns in tag questions in read speech. The subjects of the investigation are ten adults with an additive bilingualism between the ages of twenty to twenty-three, who immigrat
The shear plate dowel joint (SPDJ) is a novel connection design for heavy timber structures. The connection uses a single large diameter dowel and glued-on steel plates to transfer loads between members. Consequently, the design of the dowel is of great influence for the global performance of the connection. This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation of the influence of the ge
