I studied available data and literature on the subject and performed qualitative interviews with three social workers and the head of department of an average sized welfare office in Sweden, and a social worker who had been threatened by a client in another work pla

Ränteavdragsreglerna har alltsedan de infördes år 2009 varit föremål för kritik, exempelvis vad gäller deras förenlighet med de i FEUF fastslagna fria rörligheterna. Trots att HFD har konstaterat att ränteavdragsreglerna är förenliga med de fria rörligheterna kvarstår kritiken. Reglernas syfte är att skydda den svenska bolagsskattebasen genom att begränsa den generella avdragsrätten för ränteutgif

Their main target is the myelin shield surrounding neuronal axons, which is essential for proper transmission of neuronal signals. These autoreactive cells can enter the CNS thr

Det anses enligt många entreprenadrättsjurister föreligga en rätt till avbeställning för beställaren i ett entreprenadavtal. Emellertid regleras inte avbeställning uttryckligen i AB 04, det standardavtal som tillämpas på en överhängande majoritet av entreprenadavtalen i Sverige. Avsikten med förevarande framställning är därför att analysera hur en domstol skulle bedöma en konfliktsituation där rätAccording to several construction law attorneys there seems to exist a right for the buyer to cancel an order according to a construction contract. However, the right of cancellation is not expressively regulated in AB 04, the standard form contract applicable to the vast majority of the construction contracts in Sweden.

The latest standard within video compression, HEVC/H.265, was released during 2013 and provides a significant improvement from its predecessor AVC/H.264. However, with a constantly increasing demand for high denition video and streaming of large video files, there are still improvements that can be done.

Previous studies have found that launch prices reflect the therapeutic gains of pharmaceuticals (for instance: Ekelund and Persson, 2003, on Sweden and Lu and Comanor, 1998, on the US). Furthermore, Howard et al (2015) found that purely pharmaceutical costs to “Medicare” at launch for new anticancer drugs increased annually, from 1995-2013, after controlling for health benefits and inflation. This

The goal of condition-based maintenance (CBM) is to base the decisions whether or not to perform maintenance on information collected from the machine or component of interest.

Upphandlingslagstiftningen är endast tillämplig på upphandlingsprocessen fram till och med att ett upphandlingskontrakt ingåtts mellan en upphandlande myndighet och en leverantör. Parterna har i praktiken dock inte möjlighet att helt fritt råda över sitt pågående upphandlingskontrakt. Upphandlingslagstiftningen kan ändå i vissa fall komma att tillämpas på ett pågående kontrakt om det sker ändringaThe public procurement rules are only applicable to the procurement process until the contracting authority and the contractor has entered into a public contract. Nevertheless the contracting parties are not able to determine their own ongoing contract. The public procurement rules may in some cases still be applied on an ongoing contract if changes are made to it. A change of contractor is a modi
