Depression has recently been highlighted across OECD countries as a public health crisis in need of immediate action. Unfortunately, the most popularized public policy solutions focus on individual biomedical or psychosocial interventions. This thesis draws from a theory on economic determinants of mental health to explore if within-country increases in social protection policy expenditure levels
Uppsåtsinvändningen om sexsomni har på senare år blivit alltmer förekommande på straffrättens område. Invändningen innebär att den tilltalade gör gällande att den sexuella handlingen som hen står åtalad för har företagits i sömnen och att uppsåt därmed saknats. Om inte åklagaren lyckas motbevisa invändningen frias den tilltalade således från ansvar. En av de faktorer som tyder på att gärningen fakThe objection of intent in the case of sexsomnia has become increasingly more common in criminal law in recent years. Under this objection, the defendant argues that the sexual act for which he or she is charged with was undertaken in his or her sleep and that there was therefore no intent. Unless the prosecutor succeeds in refuting the objection, the defendant is thus acquitted of responsibility.
Personer som innehar statlig anställning är på ett sätt som vilka arbetstagare som helst. PÅ ett annat sätt så är dem representanter för staten och deras ageranden påverkar allmänhetens uppfattning och tilltro till staten och dess myndigheter. Därför har man under perioder särskilt denna arbetstagargrupp från övriga arbetstagare då det har gällt striktare regler vid fel begångna i sin tjänsteutövn
Förekomsten av juridiskt oskolade som ett inslag i den dömande verksamheten, är ett fenomen som existerar världen över. I Sverige har institutionen med s.k. nämndemän länge varit en del av rättssystemet. Dess rötter härstammar från det medeltida samhället, men systemet har under åren modifierats flertalet gånger och inflytandet på rättskipningen har varierat. Det huvudsakliga syftet och dess viktiThe presence of non-judicially educated in courts is a recurring phenomenon all over the world. In Sweden, the institution with lay judges (in Sweden; nämndemän) has a long history in the judiciary. It originates from the medieval era, but has over the years been modified several times and the institution’s influence over the administration of justice has varied over the years. However, the purpos
Culture has importance for promoting sustainable social development, integration and for broadening people's perspectives. Thus, both cultural institutions and organizations can be seen as hubs or arenas, where for example an exchange of knowledge takes place, that can give rise to increased tolerance for people’s differences. In Scania the regional cultural department, Kultur Skåne, plays a s
We investigate the radial infall of ice pebbles in a protoplanetary disk, and how these tend to end up in relatively close proximity to eachother, providing a possible spawning ground for planets. These pebbles have dust particles embedded in them, which are released as the pebble crosses the so-called ice- line, where the ice evaporates. This is interesting as the dust will pile up around this ic
Stockholm is a highly segregated city where the ethnic and economic segregation is obvious. As a response to the segregated city people in the suburbs have started to organize. Megafonen in Stockholm is an organization who struggles for justice and equality. My study is based on five interviews with members of the organization. My aim is to understand which identities or communities they use in th
The purpose of the study has been to gain an understanding of how socio-cultural structures and gender norms affect young women’s leadership possibilities. This has been explored through a qualitative case study focusing on how young women leaders, working with sexual and reproductive health rights issues, experience and pursue leadership in Zimbabwe. A theoretical framework based on contextual an
En mycket viktig del av polisens arbete utgörs av att inhämta upplysningar om brottslighet från uppgiftslämnare och informatörer. Upplysningar av det här slaget har kommit att få en allt mer betydelsefull roll i takt med att polisens utbyte av mer traditionella spaningsmetoder har minskat. Det har från flera håll framhållits att uppgifter från informatörer i många fall är av helt avgörande betydel
Abstract Authors: Nina Niemelä and Christian Persson Title: About the art of being a relative – a qualitative research about being the relative of a person who is abusing drugs Supervisor: Lars Harrysson This study is written as an attempt to shed light on the relatives to people who are abusing drugs or alcohol. We have aimed to explain and research how the relatives are effected by and handle t
Which sources most influence the language spoken in Israel? Is it the same language as the Hebrew of its ancestral heritage? Which periods in history brought about the changes of contemporary lexicon? These are the questions addressed in the current essay, which presents the inspection of nouns appearing in a recent newspaper, and their categorization according to the different periods in the his
This thesis seeks out to examine the growing notion of an individual right to damages caused by breaches of antitrust rules within the Common Market of the European Union. The main expression of this right lies within private litigation before national courts; however, the traditional approach to antitrust enforcement in most of Europe has been public enforcement. Competition policy has been a ke
Much attention has been paid to Western democracies? (in particular the United State?s) eagerness to promote (liberal) democracy worldwide. However, less attention has been paid to the domestic democratic condition in these countries. Consequently, this thesis is concerned with the state of democracy in the United States and the basic purpose is to evaluate its (e)quality. As a result, we apply t
During the last years a discussion has emerged around problems with Swedish state boards trying to influence the public opinion and even political bodies through different kind of information efforts. Several observers inside and outside the academy have studied how state boards increasingly use information as an instrument and also how political bodies increasingly have given such instructions to
There are many children in Sweden today, approximately between 100 000 and 200 000, who have parents or a parent that abuses alcohol or other drugs. In this research paper we have reviewed some of the literature concerning these children and their situation. The purpose of this research paper was to make an interview study of a group activity for children that have parents or a parent, who abuses
Despite concerns of the scientific community regarding the adverse effects of human exposure to exogenous man-made chemical substances or mixtures that interfere with normal hormonal balance, the so called “endocrine disruptors (EDs)”, their production has been increased during the last few decades. EDs' extensive use has been implicated in the increasing incidence of male reproductive disorders i
Leptin has been shown to play an integral role in the endocrine regulation of metabolism. Moreover, a substantial amount of this peptide has been found in colostrum and milk. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of exogenous leptin, administered intragastrically, on the process of autophagy and the changes in cell hyperplasia and hypertrophy in the small intestine mucosa. Three grou
Background: Propionibacterium acnes is a commensal of human skin but is also known to be involved in certain diseases, such as acne vulgaris and infections of orthopaedic implants. Treatment of these conditions is complicated by increased resistance to antibiotics and/or biofilm formation of P. acnes bacteria. P. acnes can be infected by bacteriophages, but until recently little has been known abo
The new generation of extremely large telescopes will have adaptive optics. Due to the complexity and cost of such systems, it is important to simulate their performance before construction. Most systems planned will have Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors. Different mathematical models are available for simulation of such wavefront sensors. The choice of wavefront sensor model strongly influences c
Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste årtiondena har prestandan i elektriska kretsar växt i en rasande takt. Detta har lett till otaliga innovationer som har förbättrat samhället. Grunden till denna utveckling grundar sig i två uppfinningar: transistorn och den integrerade kresten. Till skillnad från många andra grundläggande elektroniska komponenter har en transistor tre elektroder. En e
