Den här rapporten behandlar hur övertagande av huvudmannaskap för allmän plats i detaljplaner går till. I rapporten har det bland annat undersökts hur vanligt förekommande det är bland landets kommuner att arbeta med övertaganden. De bakomliggande skälen till varför kommunerna genomför övertaganden har också varit föremål för granskning, liksom enskilda väghållares utgångspunkter i frågan.

Det har länge funnits en samhällsdebatt kring svenska för invandrare (sfi) och dess möjligheter att stödja de sfi-studerande så att de utvecklar rätt svenska för arbetslivet, där det krävs att man kan kommunicera både i och om arbetet och för mer sociala ändamål. Effektiviteten av praktik som medel för detta är omdebatterad. I denna studie undersöks därför den språkliga miljön runt två sfi-studera

Jurister försöker påverka rättsliga beslutsprocesser med hjälp av övertalning, men den befintliga litteraturen om övertalning i rättssalen är förvånansvärt begränsad med fokus på enskilda tekniker i isolering; inga omfattande integrerade ramverk finns tillgängliga. Vi föreslår en populär kommersiell metod för övertalning, Neurolingvistisk Programmering (NLP), som startpunkt för att utveckla en modTrial advocates seek to influence the outcomes of judicial decision-making processes using persuasion, but the existing literature regarding persuasion in the courtroom is surprisingly piecemeal, focusing on individual techniques in isolation; no comprehensive frameworks for integrating these techniques, or for systematically analyzing advocates’ attempts to enact persuasion in the courtroom, have
Uppsatsen syftar till att kommentera när kommunal verksamhet kan konkurrera med privata aktörer. Bakgrunden till problemet är en av regeringen erkänd rättstvist där kommunen potentiellt snedvrider konkurrensen. Kommunen har genom skattemedel tillgång till ett näst intill obegränsat kapital och vid inträde på marknaden utnyttjas förmånen. Privata aktörer är därför i en utsatt situation eftersom konThe thesis aims at commenting on municipality and how governmental municipality may compete with private companies. The background of the problem is that the Swedish government acknowledges the litigation, in which there is a competition problem. The municipality has a competition advantage by a grant of taxes and access to unlimited capital and the entry into the marked is less risk adverse. Priv
