Principen om pacta sunt servanda som innebär att avtal ska hållas är en huvudregel inom avtalsrätten. Det finns undantag från denna huvudregel som kan tillämpas vid ändrade förhållanden. När parterna ingått i ett avtal kan det inträffa ändrade förhållanden. Frågan som uppkommer vid ändrade förhållanden är vilka tillvägagångssätt som parterna kan tillämpa för att uppfylla sina avtalade förpliktelseThe main rule in contract law is the principle of pacta sunt servanda which means that agreements must be kept. There are exceptions that could be applied in case of changed circumstances. When the parties have entered into an agreement, in advance it is difficult to predict changes that may affect the parties. The question that arises in the event of changed circumstances is which approach the pa

Barn och unga i åldrarna 15-20 år är den åldersgrupp i det svenska samhället som begår flest brott i förhållande till gruppens andel av befolkningen. Forskningen visar att ungdomsbrottsligheten har legat på en stabil nivå och till och med minskat de senaste åren. Trots den till synes positiva statistik där kriminaliteten bland unga tycks minska så ser vi en samhällsutveckling där brottsligheten krChildren and young adults between the ages of 15-20 are the age group that commits the most crimes in relation to their proportion of the population in Sweden. Studies have shown that youth crime rates have remained stable or even decreased in recent years. Despite this positive trend, there is a growing concern that criminal activity is becoming increasingly prevalent among younger age groups. In

When we first encounter past traumatic experiences in ourselves, we are left with a conundrum; how are we to move forward in our everyday lives and thrive, rather than just cope and survive? By participating in the Belly2Belly ritual, providing analytical reflections and a detailed account from an auto-reflexive perspective, I attempt in this thesis to show, through the Belly2Belly ritual, how par

Hemfödsel i Sverige är sällsynt, enbart 0,1% av födslar sker planerat i hemmet bistådda av en liten grupp barnmorskor. Akuta situationer i hemmet är sällsynt men evidens visar att det finns en generell skepsis och rädsla gentemot hemfödsel i samhället. Det saknas studier gällande barnmorskans upplevelser och hantering av akuta situationer i hemmet. Hemfödsel är inte integrerat inom sjukvårdssystem
