Since the year of 2015 to current date we have witnessed border controls being established within the European free movement region - the Schengen area. An intensified threat of terrorism and uncontrolled movement of people in the Schengen area has created skepticism towards the agreement itself. The objective of this case study is to examine the Schengen agreement's impact on the area's s
I Sverige har våld i nära relationer de senaste decennierna varit en högt prioriterad fråga, såväl politiskt som straffrättsligt. Partnervåld, och i synnerhet mäns våld mot kvinnor, har ansetts vara ett av de största hindren mot ett jämställt samhället. Det första straffrättsliga krafttaget för att motverka partnervåld gjordes i slutet på 1990-talet i samband med instiftandet av brottet grov kvinnIn Sweden, domestic violence has during recent decades been a high priority issue, both politically and in criminal law. Domestic abuse in relationships, and particularly men's violence against women, has been considered as one of the biggest obstacles to reach gender equality. The most significant measure in criminal law reguarding this issue was done in the late 1990s, when the legislation G
Abstract Author: Lena Källström Title: “Conversations about suffering in social work” (Translated title) Supervisor: Christina Erneling Assessor: The aim of this thesis is to investigate how social workers conceptualise, name, relate to and understand the suffering s/he encounters when meeting clients, both from the perspective of self and the other. The study investigates the view of the indiv
Large district heating networks often have a complex structure that requires iterative calculations to determine the flow distribution throughout the network. This Master’s thesis describes a piece of software implementing methods and data structures to determine and present the flow distribution and pressure state in such district heating networks. The purpose of the thesis work was to create a t
This investigation concerns written output produced by Swedish learners of English as a second language (L2) and French as a third language (L3). The analysed texts were rated according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which is a widespread and language-independent document commonly used to assess communicative competence based on six main proficiency levels (A1,
This study aims to contribute one piece to the puzzle on why industry plants in the U.S. choose to comply with environmental laws under seemingly low incentives i.e., few inspections and low fines. This study investigates private enforcement, specifically citizen suits, as a possible determinant of plants' compliance behavior. Empirically, the study focuses on compliance with the Clean Water
I detta examensarbete åtar jag mig uppgiften att analysera bevisteori gällande svensk straffprocessrätt utifrån ett kunskaps- och vetenskapsteoretiskt perspektiv. Härvid försöker jag först besvara frågan om vilka idéer eller föreställningar om kunskap som kommer till uttryck i bevisteorin. Jag gör dock inte anspråk på någon uttömmande uppräkning av dessa, utan vill snarare ge en översikt över ett In this graduate thesis I set out to analyze Swedish evidence theory (as it pertains to procedural law in criminal cases) using epistemology and philosophy of science. In doing so, I have attempted to answer question of which ideas or concepts, borrowed from these two disciplines, can be found in Swedish evidence theory, whether explicit or implicit. On this account, it has not been my aim to give

Metod: Uppsatsen har en deskriptiv ansats där vi försöker beskriva företeelsen XBRL med hjälp av teori och insamlad empiri i form av en webbenkät till 30 av de störs
I november 2023 presenterades en SOU som skulle se över hur sexköpslagen kan appliceras på onlineköp av sex. SOU:n kommer till följd av att nya former av sexköp, där även helt digitala former av sexköp, blivit vanligare. För andra bestämmelser i 6 kap. BrB förekommer redan en begreppsbildning som möjliggör lagföring vid sexualbrott utan fysisk kontakt mellan parterna. Vid ny kriminalisering ska kIn November 2023, a SOU was presented which reviewed how the Sex Purchase Act could be applied on online purchases of sex. The SOU came after new forms of commercial sex, including purely digital sex, became common. In other sections in ch. 6 the Criminal Code, concepts allow for prosecution of sex crimes without physical contact between the involved parties. In case of new criminalization, crim
The permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) can be used for a wide range of applications. In this case, the motor that is examined is inspired of Husqvarna's handheld electrical tools where the motor is part of its electrical chainsaw. The idea is to investigate and simulate different algorithms for online parameter estimation for the PMSM. Consequently, one of the algorithms is selected a
The purpose of this investigation is to explore and highlight the role of the Third World within a human rights framework during the era of decolonization. More specifically the investigation analyzes in what ways states from the Third World used human rights to argue for the abolishment of colonialism within the context of debates in the 15th session of the UN General Assembly in 1960 and in rela
Sweden has in the past decade embarked on a journey to rebuild the concept of ‘total defence’. The crisis management system led by the Swedish Civil Contingency Agency has become all-the-more involved in the civil defense, with the Swedish Armed Forces responsible for military defense. The present thesis aims to explore the topic of gender and language in Sweden’s total defense discourse to uncove
Based on the European commission, climate change has become a serious threat for all aspects of our lives, urgent action needs to be taken. All the industries need to monitor their contributions, among them the building industry has the highest emission (European Commission) This study aims to compare energy efficiency and global warming potential (GWP fossil) emission in two ventilation systems i
High-rise buildings are exposed to both static and dynamic loads. Depending on the method used and how the structure is modelled in finite element software the results can vary. Some of the issues and modelling techniques, introduced below, are investigated in this Master’s thesis. Dynamic effects such as resonance frequencies and accelerations are considered. The variation in static results from
The following paper examines discussions of feminism online and how participants orientate themselves in these. The specific case consists of a swedish separatist Facebook group for women and non-binary people. The group has over 100000 members and has a constant flow of activity where members interact with each other in different ways. Among this activity there is discussions of feminism, often l
In the field of molecular biology, the cloning of DNA is a vital process. Through cloning, researchers can design new DNA strands which can be used for a number of applications. One of these applications is the creation of synthetic antibodies for cancer treatments. Alligator Bioscience is developing a high-throughput chain to significantly speed up the process. Traditional cloning techniques rely
Professional counselors are often seen as responsible for highlighting the need of, and to operate the social work in healthcare. To have that expertise in an otherwise medical context can lead to it being a difficult task. It is also suggested that the social worker’s role and professional identity is vague, which also influences social worker’s jurisdictional work. The aim of this study was to i
Abstract in Undetermined BACKGROUND: The absence of all Kell blood group antigens (K0 phenotype) is very rare. K0 persons, however, can produce clinically significant anti-Ku (K5) after transfusion and/or pregnancy and require K0 blood for transfusion. Ten alleles giving rise to the K0 phenotype have been reported: different populations were studied although none from Scandinavia. STUDY DESIGN AND
With the increased availability of computational resources, the past decade has seen a rise in the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for medical applications. There has been an increase in the application of CFD to attempt to predict the rupture of intracranial aneurysms, however, while many hemodynamic parameters can be obtained from these computations, to date, no consistent methodology
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is defined as an irregular supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) without p waves, with duration >30 seconds. Whether AF characteristics during short SVT episodes predict AF and stroke is not known. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether irregularity and lack of p waves, alone or in combination, during short SVT episodes increase the risk of
