Otillräkneliga lagöverträdare har länge erhållit en straffrättslig särställning i Sverige. När brottsbalken trädde i kraft år 1965 förändrades det eftersom tillräknelighetskravet togs bort. En lagöverträdares tillräknelighet är inte längre avgörande för frågan om dess straffansvar. Den svenska regleringen har sedan dess kommit att bli såväl kritiserad som unik. Följande uppsats har därför i syfte Criminal offenders who lack imputability have had a special legal status in Sweden for many years. That changed in 1965 when the imputability principle was removed from Swedish criminal law. An offender’s imputability is no longer crucial for the determination of their criminal responsibility. Since then, the Swedish regulation has become both criticized and unique. Therefore, this essay aims to e

One of the latest debates in the Bypass Stockholm project has been regarding the fact that one road section, in the middle of the extensive tunnel, will be placed above ground. This will cause noise and emissions for the residents living in the area close to the road section, which is as low income suburb. The plan was for another section situated close to fancier neighborhoods to be above ground

This study analyzes the impact that the upcoming Basel III regulations will have on the equity related capital charge faced by banks with respect to their equity portfolio holdings. Two research objectives underpin this research; the first one relates to the effective impact that a switch from VaR0.99 to ES0.975 might have for the capital charge related to market risk of three representative equit

The Swedish school system is becoming more and more segregated and unequal. This development is, if not caused by, at least aggravated by ’the free school choice’. Although there seems to be a consensus on the negative influence it has had on segregation, the reform nevertheless sustains. The problems associated with the free school choice therefore seems to be handled within the choice-paradigm,

Internet of Things (IoT), det vill säga fysiska objekt med inbyggd elektronik som kan kopplas upp mot internet och styras eller utbyta data över nätet, har idag blivit en självklar del i många personers vardag. Det kan vara allt från hälsoarmband och kylskåp, till glödlampor och termostater. Som förutspås har vi dock ännu inte sett det stora genombrottet för denna teknik och vad den kan komma att The Internet of Things (IoT), i.e. physical objects with embedded electronics that can be connected to the internet and be controlled or exchange data over the network, has become an integral part of many people's daily lives. IoT devices can be anything from fitness trackers and refrigerators to light bulbs and thermostats. However, as is being predicted, we have yet to see the major breakthr

As Sweden has been a pioneer when it comes to agendas for the inclusion of women, the decision to terminate the feminist foreign policy was met with surprise. The newly elected government was quick at declaring the feminist foreign policy insufficient to represent Swedish interests and this research has provided insights to understand how this came to be. By analyzing the case with the application

This thesis investigates the decision-making process that led to the rapid adoption of small-scale hydropower projects, and its social implications, in Kosovo between 2013 and 2021. However, the fairness of the decision-making process for hydropower projects has been heavily criticized by local communities and NGOs. This research links procedural justice concerns voiced by a small community in Sou

Green areas in urban environments can have recreational, environmental and health benefits but for them to be utilized, high accessibility for inhabitants is necessary. In an expanding city like Gothenburg, maintaining geographic accessibility to green areas can be challenging. This study performs an accessibility analysis to assess whether Gothenburg has sufficient accessibility to green areas, a

Hot Jupiters are gas giants under intense stellar radiation with short orbital periods of only a few days. Due to their large radii, hot temperatures, and large scale heights, hot Jupiters can be observationally characterised in detail through spectroscopy over an entire orbital phase. Transmission spectroscopy is one of the tools that aid us in understanding the complex chemistry of exoplanet atm

Translational platelet function investigations performed in the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-treated population receiving clopidogrel have identified high platelet reactivity to ADP (HPR) as a major risk factor for both acute as well as long-term ischaemic event occurrence, including stent thrombosis. Recent studies have highlighted the relation of single nucleotide polymorphisms of ge

This thesis is based on fifteen semi-structured interviews with key actors of the Syrian political opposition. It explores the major limitations that faced the Syrian National Council (SNC) and the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces (NOC). Within the theoretical frameworks of political opportunity and fragmentation, this research identifies four major limitations whi

The prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents is on the rise.

Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om varför kön som kategori inte har inkluderats i den svenska straffskärpningsregeln för hatbrott, och analyserar en möjlig förändring av detta. Uppsatsen utgår från att könsrelaterat våld, särskilt mäns våld mot kvinnor, är ett strukturellt samhällsproblem som i vissa fall kan förknippas med misogyni och kvinnohat. Lagstiftningen har hittills exkluderat kön som skydThis thesis addresses the question of why gender as a category has not been included in the Swedish aggravation rule for hate crimes and analyzes a potential change in this regard. The thesis is based on the premise that gender- related violence, particularly men’s violence against women, is a structural societal problem which can be associated with misogyny and hatred against women. To date, legi

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a condition that leads to lethal right heart failure. Available treatments provide relief but are far from curative and the vascular remodeling in PAH has been difficult to decipher. Although pathognomonic to PAH, the plexiform lesions are difficult to define, and there is no consensus regarding their potential hemodynamic impact. Versican is an extracellul
