Den ökade erosionen till följd av havsnivåhöjningen, orsakad av klimatförändringarna, som läggs på den redan förekommande erosionen kommer få stora konsekvenser. Mark kommer att försvinna där det i dagsläget finns bostäder, vägar, järnvägar, hem för djur- och växtliv, osv. Dessutom leder erosionen till att mark som idag finns tillgänglig för nybyggen i kustnära områden inte längre kommer att existThe globally accelerating sea-level rise poses a problem in coastal areas through, e.g., the erosion of sandy beaches. Due to this, buildings, infrastructure, and other values can be lost, making the future shoreline position important to project in coastal management. One location with historical erosion problems is Ystad municipality in southern Sweden, where the erosive problems are probable to

En gärningsperson som begår ett brott under påverkan av en allvarlig psykisk störning och även vid domstillfället lider av en sådan störning, ska i första hand dömas till rättspsykiatrisk vård istället för fängelse. Vid misstanke om att en allvarlig psykisk störning föreligger får gärningspersonen genomgå en rättspsykiatrisk undersökning. Undersökningen resulterar i att de sakkunniga läkarna och pA perpetrator who commits a crime affected of a severe mental disorder, and also by the time for the verdict is affected by such a disorder, shall primarily be sentenced to care instead of prison. If a severe mental disorder is suspected to be present, the perpetrator may undergo a forensic psychiatric examination. The examination results in a report of expertise, where the doctors and psychiatris

Tillämpningen av lagen (1991:572) om särskild utlänningskontroll har de senaste åren kraftigt ökat. Lagen avser kvalificerade säkerhetsärenden och möjliggör för Säkerhetspolisen att ta utländska medborgare som bedöms utgöra en fara för rikets säkerhet i förvar i avvaktan på att de utvisas. Eftersom utvisningarna sällan kan verkställas med anledning av risken för omänsklig behandling i mottagandelaThe application of the Act (1991:572) Concerning Special Controls in Respect of Aliens have had a major increase these last few years. The law refers to qualified security cases and enables the Security Police to take foreign citizens who are deemed to pose a danger to national security into custody pending their deportation. As the deportations can seldom be carried out due to the risk of inhuman

I asylmål med sexuell läggning som grund för förföljelse utgör den sökandes berättelse oftast den främsta och ibland enda bevisningen. Utifrån en bevisvärdering av den muntliga utsagan avgörs således om den sexuella läggningen har gjorts sannolik och om sökanden därmed kan åtnjuta skydd som flykting. Fokus för prövningen blir alltså en trovärdighetsbedömning av sökanden och dennes berättelse. Mot In refugee claims, where the applicant is seeking asylum on account of a well-founded fear of being persecuted because of his or her sexuality, the applicant’s own testimony is usually the primary evidence. Therefore, the authorities and the courts have to evaluate whether the applicant has made his or her sexual orientation plausible, and consequently is able to enjoy protection as a refugee, by

Den reklam som användare möter på internet är idag ofta anpassad och utvald för att överensstämma med dennes intressen. För att erbjuda sådan individuellt riktad reklam använder adtechsektorn metoder som bygger på en storskalig kartläggning av användares onlineaktiviteter. Vanligen är det en tredje part till den tjänst som användaren faktiskt nyttjar som ansvarar för och utför den här kartläggningToday, internet users often face advertising that is tailored and selected to match their interests. To offer such targeted advertising the adtech sector use methods that rely on a large scale tracking of users’ internet activities. In most cases this tracking is performed by a third party to the service that the user is accessing. This makes it hard for individuals to know what information is col

Lysosomes are cell organelles in charge of degradation. Lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) causes the leakage of cathepsins and other digestive enzymes into the cytosol from lysosomal cavities. This usually causes the initiation of cell death. LMP can be triggered by many stimuli and this could potentially be used in new therapeutic approaches for removing cancer cells. However, excessive L

It is now allowed to sell mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) for food consumption, and it will probably play a major role in the search for future protein sources. The climate footprint of the mealworm is considerably smaller than for traditional livestock and is therefore of interest. Insects as human food is fairly unexploited in Sweden and the western world. In connection with the new legislation, an

Nowadays, there is a tendency towards higher dynamics in markets and increasing competition especially in engineering and high tech industries. Firms today need to invent new products, acquire unique business models and thereby continuously exceed customer expectations as well as outperform competition. In contrast to the previous innovative approach that relied solely on internal capabilities, ma

Den organiserade brottsligheten har länge plågat samhället och dess moderna tappning kan dateras till slutet av 1800-talet. På grund av sin unika struktur har den organiserade brottsligheten visat sig vara särskilt svårutredd. Den organiserade brottsligheten fortsätter att växa i Sverige samtidigt som polis och åklagaren med tillgängliga medel försöker förhindra dess framfart och expansion. FråganOrganised crime is a type of criminal enterprise that has plagued society for ages, with its modern form dating back to the late 1800’s. Because of its unique structure considering the general sense of criminality, organised crime has proven to be an exceptionally difficult criminal activity to battle. Organised crime continues to grow in Sweden, with both the police and prosecutors trying to use

In hydrological models for water resources management and planning, the model output or design quantities are functions of the input data and a number of parameters that are essentially stochastic processes or random variables. The task of uncertainty analysis is to estimate the uncertainty characteristics of the model output in terms of the uncertainties in the input, model parameters and initial

Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is one of the most commonly used animal models for Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). CIA is induced in susceptible mouse strains after immunization with heterologous type II collagen (CII). In mice of the H-2q haplotype rat CII (rCII) is used whereas in mice of the H-2r haplotype bovine CII is utilized. The broad objective of this thesis was to gain an understanding of th

At the end of the eighteenth century, Edward Gibbon described the antiquarian scholars of previous generations as men of “profound learning and easy faith.” His exemplar was the Swedish polymath Olof Rudbeck, who in a series of frantic and combative tomes sought to portray Sweden as the model for Plato’s Atlantis and the seething cultural cauldron from which Western civilization had emerged. A Pil

Media literacy has been described as the ability of a citizen to access, critically analyze, and produce media content for specific outcomes. It also involves an awareness of the impact of media in the society and an understanding of media processes. More so, there are scholarly views that suggest that media literacy is a foundational skill for democracy. Here, the focus is not only on a media lit

In an effort to mitigate global climate change, the REDD+ mechanism (an acronym for ‘Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stock’) continues to be put forward as an attractive carbon sequestration and forest conservation tool.

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: När skedde Santoriniutbrottet : datering i ett isborrkärneperspektiv. Under sen bronsålder skedde ett av historiens största vulkanutbrott på Santorini, Grekland. Utbrottet hade ödesdigra konsekvenser för den Minoiska civilisationen som levde i området. För arkeologer som arbetar i regionen är utbrottet en mycket viktig tidsmarkering eftersom utbrottet var en stoThe Santorini eruption is one of the greatest in historic time and an important time marker in the regional archaeology. It has been dated to 1627-1600 BC (2σ error) using radiocarbon dating (Friedrich et al. 2006) and to 1642±5 BC by identifying a volcanic fallout layer in the Greenland ice cores (Vinther et al. 2006). However, archaeologists have estimated the eruption almost a century later tha

Inom ramen av sin recension av Ross’ bok On Law and Justice presenterade Hart mycket framgångsrikt vad han senare skulle bli känd för inom rättsfilosofin - den interna ståndpunkten. I sin kritik av Ross rättsteori hävdade Hart att rättsliga omdömen om giltighet främst skall uppfattas som interna, normativa omdömen och som ett uttryck för acceptans av lagen som en beteendestandard. Han uppfattade iWith his review of Ross’s book On Law and Justice, Hart introduced something for which he later on, would become famous in legal philosophy – the internal point of view. In his criticism of Ross’s legal theory, Hart claimed that legal statements of validity are primarily internal, normative statements, manifesting acceptance of the law as a standard of behaviour. He did not acknowledge the possibi
