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
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 Det har i ett antal internationella undersökningar framkommit att HBT- personer har sämre hälsa än heterosexuella. I den förbindelsen har syftet med denna uppsats varit att diskutera kring vilka åtgärder som är möjliga för att förändra denna ohälsa, där jag har koncentrerat mig på särlösning kontra integrationsteorier. Jag har inriktat mig på lesbiska och bisexuella kvinnor inom HBT- omr
I denna uppsats behandlas den svenska regleringen av barnpornografibrottet och vad den omfattar efter 2010 års lagändring. Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa om syftet med lagändringen har uppnåtts, att göra all befattning olagligt för att mer effektivt kunna bekämpa barnpornografi. Uppsatsen ger en detaljerad redogörelse för de ändringar som gjorts sedan regleringen infördes 1980. Utöver det tas In this essay the Swedish regulation regarding child pornography is discussed focused on parts included in the regulation after the amendment 2010. The purpose is to discuss if the intention with the new amendment has been achieved, that is to criminalize all types of behaviors related to child pornography for enabling more effective crime prevention. The essay presents a thorough review on what c
Popular science summary Comparison of ectoparasite load on barnacle geese (Branta leucopsis) in arctic and temperate regions Some birds winter in warm regions, but breed in the arctic. This long migration takes up a lot of energy, which leaves scientists wonder why birds undertake this journey. One of the many hypotheses to explain it, is that there are fewer parasites in the arctic. Therefore,
I uppsatsen behandlas unionsrättens påverkan på EU:s medlemsstaters inkomstskatteregler. De nationella inkomstskattelagstiftningarna får inte strida mot den fria rörligheten stadgad i EUF-fördraget, vilket gör att unionsrätten har stor påverkan på den direkta beskattningen även om den direkta beskattningen till största delen inte är harmoniserad. En medlemsstat får således inte utforma sin nationeThis thesis focuses on the impact of EU law on national direct taxation. National income tax rules may not restrict the free movement of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). This means that EU law has a considerable impact on national legislation in this area, even if the member states for the most part have retained their competence to legislate. A member state may, therefo
Management Fee, alltså betalning för intern koncernledning, är ett begrepp inom Transfer Pricing-området. Transfer Pricing är det engelska namnet på internprissättning. Detta ämnesområde har fått en allt större betydelse i dagens allt mer internationella värld och stora delar av världshandeln sker numera inom koncerner. Ämnets huvudregel är armlängdsprincipen vilken genomsyrar det regelverk som fiManagement Fee, the billing of Management costs within an organization, is a part of the Transfer Pricing doctrine. Transfer Pricing has grown to become one of the most important parts of the global trade in the world today. One of the main principles regarding Transfer Pricing is the arm’s lengths principle and it is present through all major documents of the area. The main idea behind the arm’s
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
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,
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

The pK(a) values for the CEPC (one-letter code) active-site cysteine residues of Ill are unusual for thioredoxin-like proteins ill that they are both high (> 8) and within 0.5 unit of each other. To determine the contribution of the inter-cysteine dipeptide of ResA to its redox and a
Background: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has modest specificity for prostate cancer. A panel of four kallikrein markers (total PSA, free PSA, intact PSA, and kallikrein-related peptidase 2) is a highly accurate predictor of biopsy outcome. The clinical significance of biopsy-detectable cancers in men classified as low-risk by this panel remains unclear. Methods: The Malmo Diet and Cancer study
Previous research has shown a male bias in the media. This study tests this statement by examining how the pronouns She and He are used in a news media context. More specifically, the study tests whether He occurs more often and in more positive semantic contexts than She, as well as whether She is associated with more stereotypically and essential labels than He is. Latent semantic analysis (LSA)
Syftet med denna uppsats är att granska de mest omdiskuterade för- och nackdelarna med nämndemannasystemet och utreda om systemet kan garantera en rättssäker prövning vid brottmålsprocessen i tingsrätten. För att nå syftet är en av mina frågeställningar hur nämnden uppkom och systemet fungerar idag. Exakt hur länge den svenska nämnden har existerat vet vi inte, men fenomenet finns nedtecknat i vårIn this thesis, I will examine the most discussed advantages and disadvantages with the lay judge system to investigate if the system can ensure that the criminal trial procedure in the district court live up to the high requirements of the rule of law. To achieve this I will answer a few questions. The first question discusses how the lay judge system emerged and how the system works today. Exac
