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 mean? What areas are included in the concept of important changes, according to legal framework and case law? How extensive is in fact the employer?s obligation to negotiate? The purpose of this report has been to seek answers to the above-mentioned questions, through partly describing how the employer?s obligation to negotiate has developed, and partly describing how the codes of negotiations in the Employment (Co-Determination in the Workplace) Act of 1976 are raised and applied.

Denna uppsats analyserar utvecklingen av principen Special and Differential Treatment (SDT) i den internationella handelsregimen. Fokus är på förändringen i tillämpningen av denna princip. Uppsatsen identifierar hur principen har tillämpats sen dess uppkomst samt hur ett skifte i det ekonomiska utvecklingstänkandet kom att utgöra en avgörande faktor för den nedgång i tillämpning som observerats. Vidare identifierar uppsatsen också hur nya dimensioner av världshandeln har skapat nya problem för utvecklingsländerna, vilket i sin tur har skapat ett behov av en fortsatt, men i många avseenden annorlunda, tillämpning av SDT-principen.Uppsatsen kommer till slutsatsen att det nya ekonomiska utvecklingstänkandet har suddat ut rationaliteten bakom det forna tillämpandet av SDT-principen. Samma utvecklingstänkande har dock lagt grunden för en ny tillämning.

I denna rapport behandlas frågor som rör extern validering och datorstöd (CASE) för detta. Rapporten redogör för en undersökning vars syfte är att ta reda på vilka krav som tekniker för extern validering ställer på CASE-verktyg och hur verktygen svarar upp till dessa krav. Olika metoder finns för att skapa ett informationssystem och varje metod har sina beskrivningstekniker som underlag för extern validering.De beskrivningstekniker som föreskrivs i en metod är ofta mycket detaljerade. En metods notationen ställer därför stora krav på CASE-verktyg som uttalar stöd för denna metod.Arbetet som beskrivs i denna rapport identifierar krav på datorstöd utifrån en viss metods beskrivningstekniker samt ytterligare valideringstekniker som beskrivs i litteraturen. Därefter undersöks CASE-verktygs förmåga att svara upp till dessa krav.Själva undersökningen av verktygen genomförs via ett testförfarande där samtliga utvalda verktyg implementerar två olika testfall.Resultatet från genomförandet av tester visar att det existerar stora skillnader mellan verktygens påstådda stöd för en viss metod och vad de faktiskt klarar av.

This study aims to investigate how old landfills can be re-used, what has lead to the new uses, and for what and whom the transformed site will be an asset. The method used is a case study of four different landfills in Stockholm county, Sweden. The case study is analyzed in the light of former studies regarding re-use of degraded urban areas, so called brownfields, and in particular studies and reports of landfill re-use. The result indicates that old landfill sites is identified as an area with possible values if transformed properly, in the case study area especially as green structure and recreation areas.
