Statistical Jump Models are a class of regime identification models,similar to Hidden Markov Models, with the added advantage of facilitatinglarge-scale integration of exogenous variables that influence thelatent regime-switching process. Recent advancements in SJMs includethe introduction of automatic feature selection techniques, which eliminateirrelevant exogenous information and enhance the mo
Vaccine scepticism is often related to fears of potential side effects and to doubts regarding the safety and effectiveness of the injections. Alongside the medical issues, mass vaccination campaigns like the one related to the COVID-19 pandemic also have civic and epistemic effects connected to the engagement of people on the internet in matters concerning the vaccination and vaccination campaign

Ever since the birth of the film medium, the Sámi people, indigenous to Fennoscandia, have been depicted on film. These early films are ethnographic, made from an outsider perspective, depicting the Sámi as exotic and simple. However, in the 1970s, the Sámi became more involved in the filmmaking process, and in 1987, the first Sámi film, Pathfinder, was made. This shift to Sámi self-representation
Offentlig upphandling regleras på EU-nivå genom bl.a. direktiv 2014/24/EU. Direktivet öppnade upp för medlemsstaterna att beakta miljöhänsyn vid offentlig upphandling i större utsträckning. I linje med detta fastslog EU-domstolen i målet Tim att det finns en hållbarhetsprincip i artikel 18.2 i direktivet, och att denna princip är likställd med de traditionella upphandlingsrättsliga principerna i aPublic procurement is regulated at EU level by e.g. Directive 2014/24/EU. The Directive enabled Member States to consider the environment to a greater extent in public procurement. In line with this, the Court of Justice of the EU established, in the case Tim, that there is a principle of sustainability in Article 18(2) of the Directive, and this principle is equivalent to the traditional procurem

The purpose of the study is to investigate how newspaper articles present the agency of young people placed in SIS in text and what this may mean for the perceptions that are created about young people who are in community care. The analysis is conducted as a critical discourse analysis that analyzes articles in the newspaper Aftonbladet, where the theory and method are inspired by the linguist No
Historiskt sett har människor byggt sina hus med de material som den omgivande naturen gav. Både vass och lera är två sådana material som förekommer naturligt. Det som bl.a. skiljer dessa material åt är de processer som krävs för att de ska kunna användas som taktäckningsmaterial. Vassen skördas och torkas medan leran bearbetas och bränns för att slutligen bli en användbar produkt. I tidigare svenHistorically, people built their houses with the materials that the surrounding nature gave. Reeds and clay are two such materials occurring naturally. A difference between these materials is the processes required for them to be used as roofing material. Reed is harvested and then dried while the clay is processed and fired to finally become the useful product. In earlier Swedish history roofs we
Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer är på cellnivå en genetisk sjukdom, i det avseendet att typiska egenskaper för cancerceller, t ex okontrollerad celldelning samt abnorm känslighet för yttre regulatoriska signaler, uppkommer genom förvärvade och ibland ärftliga förändringar, s k mutationer, i cellens arvsmassa. Hur mutationerna uppstår är bara till viss del känt. Somliga förändringar beror på strAcquired genetic alterations, of which many are visible on the chromosome level, are believed to be necessary for tumorigenesis, and most tumors display characteristic patterns of recurrent structural and numerical aberrations. However, two of the most frequently occurring chromosome mutations in malignant and benign solid tumors, i.e., trisomy 7 and rearrangements of 12q13-15, have recently been
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur tillgängligt är EU för asylsökande? Står Unionens rättsregler i strid med folkrätten? Om så är fallet, hur löser vi konflikten dem emellan? Besitter vi alls medel för att lösa grundläggande konflikter om hur långt rätten skall skydda "utomstående"? Denna avhandling söker svar på frågorna genom att kombinera formaljuridik med statsvetenskapliga förklaringsmodeller. MHow are access to asylum and other forms of extraterritorial protection regulated in the European Union? Is the EU acquis in these areas in conformity with international law? What tools does international law offer to solve conflicts between them? And, finally, is law capable of bridging the foundational oppositions embedded in migration and asylum issues? This work combines the potential of legal
Den 18 mars 2016 publicerade Europeiska Rådet en överenskommelse på sin hemsida. Den blev känd som ’EU-Turkiet-avtalet’ och gick ut på att asylsökande skickas tillbaka från de grekiska öarna till Turkiet.

Innan 1994 fanns ingen lagstadgad rätt till personlig assistans. Efter den s.k. Handikapputredningen år 1989 kom ett lagförslag som utmynnade i Lag (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (LSS). Enligt denna lag skulle de funktionshindrade som hade krävande och omfattande hjälpbehov ha rätt till en personlig assistent. Försäkringskassan blev beslutsmyndighet för att avgöra huruBefore 1994 there was no legal right to a personal assistant in Sweden. After the so-called Handikapputredningen in year 1989, Lag (1993) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (LSS) was instituted.* According to this law, the disabled people who had exigent and extensive needs would have right to a personal assistant.

In Swedish courts the judge is often accompanied by laymen, in Swedish referred to as nämndemän. The history of these layman judges stretches far back, and the same goes for the justification of the system. The first use of nämndemän can be found as early as in the thirteenth century. They gave legitimacy to the courts and were seen as a way to protect the locals from abuse of justice. At this ti
In 2009 Sweden introduced a legislation named contact with children for sexual purposes in the sixth chapter, section 10 a in the Swedish Penal Code, criminalizing grooming. The provision followed two years after the judgement from the Court of Appeal of Skåne and Blekinge over the “Alexandra man” case, the then biggest child sex exploitation case in Sweden. During the eight years of existence of
Sedan Skatteverket drog igång processerna mot nyckelpersonerna bakom riskkapitalfonderna och den höga inkomst de uppbär i form av s.k. carried interest har en rättsutveckling tagit fart på det skatterättsliga området. Efter att Skatteverket inledningsvis nekats prövningstillstånd valde de en ny linje för att komma åt denna höga inkomst, närmare bestämt genom fåmansföretagsreglerna. Skatteverket mSince the Swedish Tax Agency first pursued the key people behind the venture capital funds regarding the high income they receive as dividend, in the form of so-called carried interest, has a legislative development gained momentum in the Swedish tax law area. After the Swedish Tax Agency initially was denied leave to appeal, they opted for a new strategy to access this high income, through the fr
Uppsatsen undersöker den nya våldtäktslagstiftningen med fokus på frivilligt deltagande. Syftet är att utreda vad ett frivilligt deltagande är och hur rekvisitet ska förstås. Lagstiftningen granskas kritiskt och arbetet ifrågasätter avsaknaden av ett absolut krav på frivillighetsrekvisitet. Detta görs med grund i hur ett sexuellt samtycke ska definieras – är det en gärning eller en inställning? UpThe paper examines the new rape legislation with focus on voluntary participation. The purpose is to investigate what voluntary participation is and how the law is supposed to be understood. The legislation is critically reviewed, and the work questions the lack of an absolute requirement of performative consent. This is done on the basis of how sexual consent is to be defined – is it an act or an
