Surrogate motherhood is a relatively controversial method of assisted reproduction, as it raises ethical questions about the potential risk of exploitation versus the right to self-determination, if it is done with the child’s best in mind and whether or not it is problematic for the family constellation. The purpose of this paper is to examine the approach to altruistic surrogate motherhood in Sw

När en förälder dör har dess bröstarvingar alltid rätt till sin laglott, vilken utgör halva arvslotten. Laglotten hindrar därmed föräldern från att fullt ut förfoga över egendomen genom testamente. Regeln om förstärkt laglottsskydd i 7 kap. 4 § ärvdabalken (1958:637) begränsar även förälderns förfogande över egendom under förälderns livstid. Det förstärkta laglottsskyddet innebär att gåvor som givAccording to Swedish law, children of a deceased parent have a statutory right to a share of the inheritance. The statutory share is a half of the deceased persons assets. The statutory share prohibits the parent to, through a will, give the whole inheritance to some other person. Furthermore, the parent is also limited to disposal the estate during lifetime. Gifts can be reclaimed after the giver

This thesis explores the differences between how Japanese native speakers use insults and derogatory language toward men and women. Initially, impoliteness is described as an area of sociolinguistics that explores face-threatening acts, the offensiveness of which is modified by various factors, such as the interlocutors’ relationship and gender. Then, gendered language is described as a subset of

I avhandlingen studeras migration i form av anhöriginvandring till Sverige. I fokus ställs parförhållande där parets seriositet prövas av Migrationsverket. Parets väg genom ansökningsprocessen beskrivs liksom den legala ramen kring anhöriginvandring. Vidare tar avhandlingen upp handläggning av anhöriginvandring och vilka föreställningar om anhöriginvandring och seriösa parförhållanden som finns, d

The aim of this project is to explore and understand the combustion phenomenon in engines operating on gaseous fuels, and develop technologies as an alternative to the present diesel engine technologies for heavy duty applications; which are facing severe challenges like stringent emissions norms, high technology costs and unsustainable fuel supply. The studies presented in this thesis focus on th

The consumption of alcohol imposes costs on the society and several cost-of-illness studies have been conducted to estimate these costs. This essay presents the results from five cost-of-illness studies and examines the methodology used. The differences in results are discussed in reference to the differences in the applied methods. The results differ immensely from US$ 91 to US$ 2,433 per capita.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate effects of lipid lowering drug, simvastatin, on apolipoprotein M expression in the hyperlipidemic mice and in hepatic cell line, HepG2 cells. METHODS: Swiss male mice were randomly divided into the high fat group and control group, and were intragastrically fed with 0.9% saline (control group) or lipid emulsion (high fat group) at the daily dosage of 15 ml/kg body weight

The purpose of this study was to find out why people choose to be physically inactive when only thirty minutes of exercise a day is sufficient to have a positive effect on one's health. In order to find out the reasons why people do not exercise, we conducted semistructured interviews with twenty people from Malmoe. The participants were between 23 and 63 years of age with the group consisting

How is the course of action of the social worker in h

When preferences from the past or future disagrees with present preferences about what to do now, it seems counterintuitive for preference utilitarianism to take these past and future diachronic preferences into account. In this thesis I discuss two different solutions to this problem. First, preference utilitarianism could solve the problem by becoming more sophisticated - by suggesting that we s

För att ett barn ska kunna omhändertas utan dennes eller föräldrarnas samtycke krävs antingen att det föreligger brister i den unges hemmiljö eller i dennes beteende. Dessutom krävs att en prognos görs från förvaltningsrättens sida huruvida dessa brister utgör en påtaglig risk för att den unges hälsa och utveckling skadas. Rekvisitet påtaglig risk ersatte 1990 de tidigare rekvisiten fara respektiIn order to take a child into custody without the consent of the child or its parents it is necessary that there are deficiencies in the child’s home environment or in his or her behaviour. In addition, there also has to be a significant risk that the child’s health and development will be harmed. The term significant risk has been in use since the law was renewed in 1990 when it replaced the old

This article aims to expand our understanding of projectification in Swedish municipalities. Above all the article explores to what extent processes of projectification can be identified and if so how they unfold. The article draws its inspiration from critical management studies and uses the notion of sensemaking to identify the practices of projectification processes. Three processes of projecti

Background: Lumbar spine radiography has limited diagnostic value but low radiation dose compared with computed tomography (CT). The average effective radiation dose from lumbar spine radiography is about 1.1 mSv. Low-dose lumbar spine CT may be an alternative to increase the diagnostic value at low radiation dose, around 1 mSv. Purpose: To determine the optimal settings for low-dose lumbar spine
