On July 22, 2022, a crown witness system was introduced with the aim of increasing prosecution rates and breaking the prevailing culture of silence. This system includes a basis for sentence reduction regarding participation in the investigation of another's criminal activity.

Sverige har en lång tradition av en flexibel arbetsmarknad där arbetstagare fritt kunnat förflytta sig mellan offentlig och privat sektor. Övergångar av detta slag är i många delar positivt och genererar ett erfarenhetsutbyte som är till gagn för båda sektorer. I samband med övergång från anställning i offentlig till privat verksamhet kan emellertid så kallad svängdörrsproblematik uppstå. Denna prSweden has a long tradition of a flexible labor market where employees have been able to freely move between the public and private sectors. Transitions of this kind are largely positive and generate an exchange of experience that benefits both sectors. However, transitions from employment in the public sector to the private sector can give rise to what is known as the revolving door problem. This
The Swedish age of criminal responsibility means that children under 15 who commit offences cannot be sentenced to any penalty. There is, however, a process in § 38 LUL that can determine whether a child under 15 has commit-ted a serious crime, called an evidentiary proceeding. At the time of its crea-tion, the purpose of an evidentiary proceeding was to provide the child wel-fare authorities with
On the first of July 2018, Sweden made a drastic change to its rape provision, by adopting a new legislation, commonly referred to as the ”Consent Law”. Sweden’s neighboring country, Denmark, adopted its own version of the Consent Law a couple of years later, on the first of January 2021. The newely change of the Swedish and Danish penal codes have been an important step torwards reducing rap
Häktning är ett straffprocessuellt tvångsmedel som kan användas vid utredning av misstänkt brottslighet. Häktning kan under vissa förutsättningar kombineras med restriktioner, med följd att den häktade isoleras från omvärlden. Det svenska häktningsinstitutet har sedan tidigt 90-tal återkommande erhållit internationell kritik. Kritiken har bland annat avsett att det saknas tidsgränser för hur längeRemand is a coercive measure which may be used while investigating a suspected crime. Remand may, under certain conditions, be combined with restrictions, resulting in the detainee being isolated from the outside world. The Swedish remand institute has received international criticism since the early 1990s. The criticism has, among other things, been related to the lack of time limits for how long
Until July 1, 2018, Swedish legislation lacked a general remedy for delays in the authorities’ handling of cases. With the introduction of section 12 of the Public Administration Act the remedy, often referred to as the delay action, came to change the Swedish Migration Agency’s routine handling of citizenship applications. Authorities would henceforth not be able to act passively in the handling

On 1 July 2022, the Swedish Act (1988:254) on the Prohibition of Knives and Other Dangerous Objects (the Swedish Knife Act), which criminalizes possession of knives and other dangerous objects in public places, was amended. Through the amendment, four criteria were introduced to the statutory text, which are to be given particular consideration when assessing whether a violation of the law is to b
Fankulturen har idag kunnat ta plats på en större arena tack vare internet i form av fan communities och fansajter. Detta har lett till att fansen idag har enklare tillgång till andra fans, interaktion och livsstilsbildande. Gemenskap är ett socialt fenomen som är en intressant och en central aspekt att undersöka på dessa digitala plattformar, eftersom gemenskapsaspekten för människan är relativt
Background-Myocardial scarring from infarction or nonischemic fibrosis forms arrhythmogenic substrate. The Selvester QRS score has been extensively validated for estimating myocardial infarction scar size in the absence of ECG confounders. but has not been tested to quantify scar in patients with hypertrophy, bundle branch/fascicular blocks, or nonischemic cardiomyopathy. We assessed the hypothese
The transcription factor Sox4 has been proposed to underlie the increased type 2 diabetes risk linked to an intronic single nucleotide polymorphism in CDKAL1. In a mouse model expressing a mutant form of Sox4, glucose-induced insulin secretion is reduced by 40% despite normal intracellular Ca2+ signaling and depolarization-evoked exocytosis. This paradox is explained by a fourfold increase in kiss
Copper (Cu) is one of the most abundant trace metals in all organisms, involved in a plethora of cellular processes. Yet elevated concentrations of the element are harmful, and interestingly prokaryotes are more sensitive for environmental Cu stress than humans. Various transport systems are present to maintain intracellular Cu homeostasis, including the prokaryotic plasmid-encoded multiprotein pc
Background: Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment for self-harm and emotion regulation difficulties. A modified version, DBT-Skills System (DBT-SS), has been developed in the USA for individuals with cognitive difficulties. The present study is a pilot study, testing the DBT-SS in a Swedish context.Methods: Six participants were treated with individual therapy and group
År 2008 brakade den finansiella marknaden samman och följdes av en recession världen över som vi till viss del fortfarande brottas med. OTC-derivat, ett skräddarsytt bilateralt finansiellt instrument, har i finanskrisens efterdyningar beskyllts vara en av bovarna i dramat. Särskilt tros OTC-derivaten ha bidragit till en icke-transparens på marknaden som gjorde det omöjligt att både förutse och förIn 2008 the financial market collapsed and what followed was a worldwide recession which the market has yet to fully recover from. OTC-derivatives, which are tailor-made bilateral financial instruments, have in the aftermath of the collapse been accused of being one of the culprits. More specifically, OTC-derivatives are believed to have contributed to the opaque financial market that made it impo
Epidemiological studies show that modifiable risk factors account for approximately 40% of the population variability in risk of developing dementia, including sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recent findings suggest that these factors may also modify disease trajectories of people with autosomal-dominant AD. With positron emission tomography imaging, it is now possible to study the disease many
This systematic literature review investigates the relationship between air pollution exposure and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), encompassing Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Despite the growing concern over air pollution's impact on various health outcomes, studies specifically addressing effects on the digestive system, particularly IBD, are relatively rare. This review aims
