Det finns just nu momentum för att stängda de luckor i lagstiftningen kring företags ansvar för negativa effekter på mänskliga rättigheter. En av de mest ambitiösa åtagandena hittills är initiativet till ett EU-direktiv med syfte att kräva skälig aktsamhet (så kallad ”due diligence”) och ansvar från företag för påverkan på mänskliga rättigheter och miljön. Ett lagförslag förväntas komma under sommMomentum is building for closing the regulatory gaps on business responsibility for adverse human rights impacts. One of the most ambitious actions so far is the initiative for an EU directive on corporate due diligence and accountability for human rights and the environment. A proposal for the provisions of the directive is expected this summer (2021). Historically children’s rights have been top

Den lösning som mätts består av en peptid, som är ett varierande antal aminosyror sammansatta som ett protein, som lösts upp i vatten och sedan tillsätts en ren vattenlösning stegvis medan instrumentet läse

This Thesis seeks to give its reader the tools to understand the data privacy divide between the EU and the US. It explains the crucial notions, historical and jurisprudential factors and regulatory frameworks underlying and constituting it. First, it answers why regulating data privacy is paramount to our democratic societies on both sides of the Atlantic. The growing importance of the data dri

Under de senaste årtiondena har det i norra Europa och Nordamerika rapporterats om att sjöar och vattendrag blir allt brunare. Den bruna färgen kommer från naturligt organiskt material (NOM), vilket är material från döda djur och växtdelar, som transporterats med vattnet från intilliggande skog och mark. Denna ”brunifiering”, som den också kallas, tros bland annat kunna vara ett resultat av de pågDuring the last decades, increased concentrations of natural organic matter (NOM) and colour of surface waters have been reported from northern Europe and North America. Since surface waters are widely used for drinking water production this development has been problematic for drinking water producers. Even though NOM in itself is not harmful, it can cause production of undesirable disinfection b

Våldtäkt är ett utav de mest kränkande brott en person kan utsättas för och är ett ämne som ständigt upprör och leder till diskussion. Förhoppningsvis kan denna diskussion leda till att vi närmar oss en lösning som minskar våldtäkterna. En viktig del av lösningen är en effektiv lagstiftning. Idag grundar sig den svenska våldtäktbestämmelsen på tvång medan man i England och Wales valt att grunda deRape is one of the most offensive crimes a person can be subjected to and it is a matter that keeps aggravating and lead to discussion. Hopefully this discussion will lead us closer to a solution that will decrease the number of rapes. An important part of the solution is an effective legislation. Today the Swedish legislation regulating rape is based on force meanwhile the legislation in England

Uppsatsen behandlar konflikten mellan två inte sällan kolliderande intressen, vindkraft och rennäring. I ljuset av folkrättsliga instrument till skydd för urfolk, ska samernas rätt till mark och vatten skyddas. För samer är denna rätt en förutsättning för renskötselns bedrivande, som det samiska kulturarvet i stora delar bygger på. Rennäringen förutsätter stora markområden där renar fritt kan flytThis essay discusses the conflict between wind power and reindeer husbandry, two interests which at times collide. In light of international law and its instruments for the protection of indigenous peoples, the Samis’ rights to land and water shall be protected. The right to land is a prerequisite for the Samis to pursue their reindeer herding, which lays the foundation for the cultural heritage o

This study was motivated by the current vulnerable status of Chinese taught as a second language in Swedish gymnasium education, calling for further knowledge on how theories on second language (L2) acquisition can benefit instruction on L2 Chinese. Since language textbooks often constitute the curriculum in Swedish classrooms, two Chinese textbooks were targeted for analysis in terms of the seque

The most common controller in the process industry today is the PID controller due to its simple structure. A regular factory may have thousands of different PID controllers in use where each of them has to be tuned to work satisfactory. Doing this manually can become both a difficult and time consuming task where some knowledge for each process is required. Therefore, it is highly beneficial to h

En huvudprincip i den svenska rättsordningen är att den förlorande parten i ett tvistemål ska ersätta den vinnande parten för dennes rättegångskostnader. Ersättningen till den vinnande parten ska i enlighet med 18 kap. 8 § rättegångsbalken (1942:740), fullt motsvara kostnaderna för processföringen, såvitt kostnaderna skäligen varit påkallade för tillvaratagande av partens rätt. Inom ramen för partAn essential rule in Swedish law is that the losing party in a litigation shall reimburse all costs incurred by the winning party. Section 8 in Chapter 18 of the Swedish Code of Judicial Proceedings (1942:740) concludes that “compensation for litigation costs shall fully cover the costs of preparation for trial […] to the extent that the costs were reasonably incurred to safeguard the party's

Barn som är under 15 år kan inte straffas i svensk rätt enligt 1 kap. 6 § brottsbalken (BrB) och därmed kan de inte heller bli föremål för rättsväsendets åtgärder p.g.a. brott. När samhällsåtgärder därmed måste tas, ligger ansvaret på socialtjänsten. Begår ett barn ett brott kan det ändå utredas av polis och åklagare genom stöd av lagen om unga lagöverträdare (LUL), en s.k. 31 § LUL-utredning. SChildren under the age of 15 can commit crimes but they cannot be punished under Swedish law in accordance with Chapter 1, Section 6 of the Criminal Code and therefore they cannot be subject to a preliminary criminal investigation by a Prosecutor or the Police. Instead, when children have committed a crime other societal measures can be taken. The responsibility for the care for these children lie

Den första oktober 2019 infördes med SFS 2019:523 en lång rad lagändringar i hyreslagen. Till de viktigaste ändringarna hör 1) kriminalisering av köpare av hyreskontrakt, 2) skärpta straff för försäljning av hyreskontrakt, 3) kriminalisering av andrahandsuthyrning om hyresgästen både saknar tillstånd från hyresvärd eller hyresnämnd och tar ut ett överpris och 4) att hyresrätter inte längre kan bytOn 1 October 2019 SFS 2019:523 was entered into action, containing a long list of legal changes in the Swedish Rent Act (Hyreslagen). Among the more prominent changes were i) the criminalization of buyers of a rental contract, ii) harsher punishment for selling such contracts, iii) criminalization of tenants who both sublet the apartment without permission from the landlord or the Rental Board and

UHT direct steam injection and steam infusion are widely used; however there is no comparison of their impact on milk components. This study evaluates the structural changes at different steps during the UHT processing of whole milk in a full-scale UHT plant by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and particle size measurements, and follows the enzymatic activity. The results of structural anal

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) was studied in laboratory scale experiments as well as in a full scale EBPR process. The studies were focused on carbon source transformations, the use of nitrate as an electron acceptor and characterisation of the microflora. A continuous anaerobic/aerobic laboratory system was operated on synthetic wastewater with acetate as sole carbon source. An ef

Thus, the intention with this essay is to consider various provisions that should be taken in order to achieve a more effective combating of child pornography on the Internet.

This paper is very much inspired by an ongoing process in the Swedish court system. According to Unibet, an online betting company, the Swedish law on lotteries conflicts with EC law. Therefore, Unibet has brought an action against the Swedish state seeking, firstly, a declaration that it has the right, pursuant to Article 49 EC, to promote its gaming and betting services in Sweden and is not prev

Complexity drives cost as it makes standardization and control difficult. The problem studied here is to identify which parts of these costs that are justified by creating competitive advantage and value to customer. What parts of the ConsEl new product development process add value, and how is this added value utilized? How can the non-value adding complexity of the new product

In this work, an on-line process for pressurised hot water extraction (PHWE) of antioxidants from plants as well as drying of the extract in one step by particle formation based on the use of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) has been developed. This process has been called WEPO (R), water extraction and particle formation on-line. With this process, dried extracts from onion with the same com
