Uppsatsen kartlägger anställningsskyddets förändringsprocess och ämnar synliggöra hur samhällsutveckling och normativa grundmönster påverkar rättsutvecklingen. Med hjälp av Christensens teori om rätten som normativa grundmönster i ett normativt fält och Hydéns teori om samhällsutveckling som S- kurvor tolkas, analyseras och diskuteras insamlat material. Genom att belysa relevanta utvecklingstendenThis paper investigates how social development and normative basics patterns affect the process of change in the Swedish employment protection.

A growing research field shows that climate mitigation measures can entail numerous co-benefits for other policy areas, including improved air quality, enhanced energy security and reduced maintenance costs. One possible strategy for enhancing climate action can be to emphasize these co-benefits. However, research has shown that co-benefits are seldom included when climate mitigation measures are
Ti(C,O) coatings have been generated in a hot wall CVD system on WC/Co, fine and coarse grained Ti(C,N), TiN, Cr and c-BN substrates. The research in this thesis has focused on deposition, characterization, and analysis in the perspective of the bonding layer of a coated insert. The precursors, H2, TiCl4, CO, temperature and pressure have been coupled to the texture using a Design of Experiment so
