The author investigates the topic of the employee’s privacy in relation with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Reg. 2016/679) and the recent case law of the European Court of Human Rights, focusing on the major issues that stem from the exercise of the employer’s power of control. The Italian, Spanish and Swedish legal frameworks are studied in a comparative dimension, which highlights th

Sweden has a small internal market and, thus, bases its wealth on the exports. Following the so-called Rhen-Meidner model this objective is also achieved thought the solidarity wage: wages are parametrized on a lead-ing sector (generally the major export industry) and because each firm faces the same labour cost they are obliged to base their competitiveness on higher productivity levels (reached

Water samples were collected from streams in west-central Nicaragua at the end of the dry season as part of a study of riverine solutes in volcanic terrains. Streams in volcanic watersheds had lower mean Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations (0.29 mM Ca2+; 0.13 mM Mg2+; 0.96 mM Ca2+ and 0.51 mM Mg2+) and slightly higher Ca:Mg molar ratios (2.1) than streams in marine carbonate rocks (1.89). Dissolved Si co

Bland vilda djur finns närmast ett oräkneligt antal patogener. Dessa kan i vissa fall ge utbrott av zoonotiska sjukdomar vilket har hänt vid upprepade tillfällen under mänsklighetens historia. Men varför kan endast vissa av de patogener som normalt finns hos vilda djur infektera människor? Fågelinfluensa och West-Nile virus kan överföras från fåglar till människor medan rabies kan överföras från hParasites live on or inside their hosts and usually cause fitness loss, sometimes even lead to outbreaks of emerging infectious disease. Understanding how a parasite can infect its hosts (i.e., host specificity of the parasite) is important to both basic studies on disease evolution and the whole ecosystem health.In this thesis, I use avian haemosporidians, a group of species-rich protozoans as a

Genomic sequencing of avian haemosporidian parasites (Haemosporida) has been challenging due to excessive contamination from host DNA. In this study, we developed a cost-effective protocol to obtain parasite sequences from naturally infected birds, based on targeted sequence capture and next generation sequencing. With the genomic data of Haemoproteus tartakovskyi as a reference, we successfully s

Syftet med denna rapport är att ge en bild av hur Sveriges kommuner arbetar med att främja kollektivtrafiken. Trots att kommunerna i de flesta fall inte har direkt rådighet över kollektivtrafiken påverkar kommunal styrning områden såsom bebyggelseplanering och lokalisering, trafikplanering (ex omfördelning av befintlig vägkapacitet), reglering av biltrafik (ex. parkering, bilfria zoner, m.m.) mobi
