The employer is obligated to call for negotiation on his own initiative, before he makes decisions in questions, which constitute important changes of the employer’s business or of the worker’s working conditions and terms of employment. The obligation to negotiate is reserved to the organisations, which the employer has collective agreements with. But what does the concept of important changes me

This thesis presents a new way of providing library users with reference services, namely chat (text based digital reference service in real time). Our research questions focus on the role of reference service, a comparison of chat reference to other reference forms, and the interest for real-time, digital reference. Our literature review covered the areas of digital reference and reference theory

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Detta arbete har utförts tillsammans med FOA 3 i Linköping som en undersökning av molntextur och molnklotter i flygbilder som registrerar värmestrålning. I dessa sammanhang betyder klotter en slags spräcklighet i bilden, eller att det inte går att se några mönster och strukturer i den. Bakgrunden till arbetet är att Försvarsmakten ville ha en kamera som kunde uTexture based descriptions of images is of an increasing importance since the demands of a correct analysis, description and understanding of fine structures are growing. This work reviews some examples of different methods from the litterature of analysing cloud clutter in thermal infrared images registred with an IR-OTIS. It also examines a set of actual images registred over an area of southeas

ABSTRACT This thesis contains a partial edition of a previously unpublished manuscript, De lapidibus et gemmis (MH 59, Lund University Library). The manuscript was probably written in the late XVth century and consists of five parts. Part 1 (ff 1r-1v) and 2 (ff 2r-14r) are written in Latin, part 3 (ff 14v), which is probably later than the rest of manuscript (XVI century?), in German, part 4 (ff

The quality of spatial analysis is highly dependent on the geo-referencing quality and the definition of the geographic context variables used. However, such information is seldom considered in historical demographic and epidemiological research that includes the geographic context. We investigate a suitable geographic level for geocoding of the population and definition of geographic context vari

Transition to adulthood, referring to the process of moving from childhood to adulthood, can be a complex period for youths with disabilities who might need special support transitioning into an independent life as adults. Caregivers are significant persons for the youths, which is why their own health and wellbeing is important. Therefore the overall aim of this thesis was to gain a deeper unders

Ecosystem-based adaptation (i.e. the use of ecosystem services to adapt to climate change) and its mainstreaming into municipal planning to foster sustainable transformation is receiving increasing interest from both academic and governmental bodies. However, little is known about the pathways for its systematic implementation, or the extent to which it is already mainstreamed in municipal plannin

This thesis concerns the bioactive peptides lactoferricin and ubiquitin and findings suggesting that they have ability to modify the risk of cancer. It is known that components in bovine milk may improve human health and modify the risk of diseases. Examples of such compounds are bioactive peptides, i.e. peptides with an effect on the body beyond the purely nutritional. Using cell culture as a mod

Rätten att uttrycka åsikter, att kritisera och att ifrågasätta är en del av enlevande demokrati. Ett demokratiskt samhälle måste vara öppet för olikaröster och ge alla möjlighet att komma till tals. Demokratin är beroendeav att människor deltar och engagerar sig i samhällsfrågor. Med rättentill yttrandefrihet kommer också ett ansvar. Var och en bör skydda, värnaoch bevara yttrandefriheten genom at

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a “multifactorial syndrome” in which ambient air pollution may contribute to the etiology of PE. However, the underlying mechanism of this association is not clearly elucidated. This dissertation aims at understanding the placental molecular mechanism underlying the relationship of prenatal exposure to ambient air pollution with preeclampsia and fetal growth by cha

The study presented in this article is about the role played by imagination when national and international organisations convey the idea of a dystopian crisis involved in the real transition to a postantibiotic era. The present is an era that can be defined as a time when no new antibiotics are discovered or developed, and existing antibiotics simultaneously become less effective since bacteria d

The electoral success of radical right parties throughout Western Europe is the biggest change to these formerly stable party systems. Several studies have identified that mainstream parties can shape the trajectory of radical right parties. Our aim is to contribute to this literature, and to investigate if and how radical right parties gain from mainstream party recognition. Theoretically, we dra
