Uppsatsen analyserar privatanställdas lojalitetsplikt i anställningsförhållandet med fokus på konkurrerande verksamhet och utövandet av kritikrätten. Med en kartläggande rättsdogmatisk metod undersöks gällande rätt genom främst Arbetsdomstolens praxis, kompletterad med lag, förarbeten och doktrin. Analysen visar att konkurrerande verksamhet typiskt sett bedöms som ett allvarligt lojalitetsbrot

Plant physiology, population dynamics and the structure and functioning of ecosystems are closely interrelated. However, these processes are often investigated independently within different subdisciplines of ecology. Mechanistic models of ecosystem structure and functioning combine representations of processes operating at a range of scales and levels of organisation, providing a tool for the des

This thesis is devoted to the development and investigation of a supramolecular system used to catalyze Jacobsen-Katsuki epoxidations with the aim to attain substrate selectivity without product inhibition. The supramolecular catalyst is composed of two well-defined entities or units: a catalytic and a receptor. The keyword for the design was flexibility. The interactions foming the supramolecula

Artificial intelligence is breaking new grounds each year and one of the most promising and extensively researched area of study in the field is the artificial neural networks. In this project, artificial neural networks are designed to help medical staff in estimating at an early stage what risk a patient has of developing serious postoperative complications after having undergone an oesophageal

Lean has become a popular organization model during the late 21st century, and it is widely spread through healthcare with high expectations of improvement and reorganization. The implementation of a certain policy is in the literature seen as a crucial step in policy realization. To better understand Lean and its adaptation to healthcare, this study examines how Lean is being implemented into Swe

Underrättelsetjänster genererar generellt ett stort intresse för allmänheten. En bidragande orsak kan vara för att det är svårt att få en insyn i en sådan verksamhet. Insynen till verksamheten behöver förbättras, eftersom medborgare i en demokrati behöver förstå vad en underrättelsetjänst sysslar med, samt att underrättelsetjänsten ska kunna verka med högt förtroende. Denna intervjustudie undersök

Detta arbete kartlägger hur musiklärare undervisar i svensk folkmusik i grundskolan. I kapitlet om tidigare forskning berörs begreppet folkmusik samt folkmusikens historia och hur den ser ut idag, där ryms också ett avsnitt om genrens repertoar. Metoderna för undersökningen består av en kvantitativ enkät samt en fördjupande intervju. I resultatet presenteras den data som inkommit från enkätundersö

The intensifying global race for talent increases the need of efficient policies and tools aimed at attracting and retaining highly-skilled individuals from around the world. For this purpose, a large strand of literature started examining the determinants of skilled immigration. However, little attention has been paid to the case of international students, which represent a special sub-group of h

This thesis is based on studies of the clinical use of induced hypothermia as an intervention to reduce mortality and neurological impairment after cardiac arrest. After the publication of two trials indicating benefit of induced hypothermia, we developed a registry to assess outcome, possible adverse events and conduct of induced hypothermia when this intervention was implemented in a clinical p

The test free-electron laser (test-FEL) at MAX-lab in Lund demonstrated for the first time circularly polarized coherent femtosecond pulses at 66 nm wavelength. A 375 MeV electron bunch was seeded by a femtosecond laser at 263 nm and coherent harmonics were extracted in an APPLE-II type elliptical undulator. A thermionic gun with a barium oxide cathode was adapted for photocathode operation, and t

An important problem in ocean engineering is to find distributions for characteristic wave parameters. For wind-generated water waves at deep water, a Gaussian distribution for the wave-surface elevation is considered a reasonable model. Within the Gaussian assumption, extensions of Rice's formula can be applied to formulate explicit expressions for the distributions in the ergodic, or Palm, sense
