Att Sverige har problem med långa häktningstider är allvarligt med tanke på häktningens karaktär som det mest ingripande av alla tvångsmedel. En av orsakerna till de långa häktningstiderna är att det ofta tar lång tid att får analyssvaren från de kriminaltekniska undersökningarna. Det är vanligt förekommande att åklagaren behöver begära att en misstänkte ska kvarbli i häkte med hänvisning till attThe length if detention periods in Sweden is a serious issue due to detention being the most intrusive of all coercive measures. One of the reasons behind long detention periods is that forensic investigations often are delayed. It is common that the prosecutor has to request continued detention because of forensic investigations not being completed. This essay investigated the questions of to wha

I svensk rätt finns bestämmelser om skadebegräsning 70 § köplagen. Att bedöma huruvida denna skadebegränsningsplikt ska gälla också utomobligatoriskt har genom åren vållat rättsvetenskapsmännen vissa bekymmer. Denna framställning har till syfte att undersöka och klargöra innebörden av skadebegränsningsplikten i svensk rätt. Särskilt fokus ligger här på de lojalitetshänsyn som anses motivera skadebIn Swedish law there are provisions on mitigation in Section 70 of the Sale of Goods act. The assessment of whether this mitigation obligation should also apply non-contractually has caused legal scientists some concerns over the years. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and clarify the meaning of the obligation to mitigate your losses in Swedish law. Particular attention is given to the

Barnäktenskap är ett fenomen som är vanligt förekommande i stora delar av världen. År 2004 infördes lagbestämmelser om att utländska barnäktenskap inte ska erkännas i Sverige om minst en av parterna haft anknytning till Sverige. För att stärka skyddet mot barnäktenskap skärptes lagen ytterligare år 2014. Under år 2018 lade regeringen fram ett förslag till ny lag om att förbjuda erkännandet av utläChild marriage is a phenomenon existing in many parts of the world. In 2004 a new law came into force stating that Sweden does not recognize foreign child marriages if at least one of the parts has ties to Sweden. In order to achieve an increased protection against child marriage the legislation was further strengthened in 2014. In 2018 the Swedish government presented a proposition to a new law f

Bygg kabelkonstruktioner i trä! I dagens samhälle blir det allt viktigare med hållbara lösningar för att lyckas bromsa den globala uppvärmningen. Stål och betong står båda för stora klimatutsläpp och har efter industrialiseringen varit det dominerande valet av material för stora byggnader. Ett alternativt, hållbart material som lyfts fram att kunna vara framtidens material är trä. Ett exempel på eIn the design of a building there are many parameters that effect the material efficiency. The choice of structural solution and material are two of the parameters that will be investigated further in this rapport. Suspension structures is one type of structural solution that has high material efficiency, here the bending stiff properties of timber could also be utilized in order to increase the s

För att klara av den kommande demografiska utmaningen med en antagen fortsatt stigande medellivslängd, behöver arbetslivet förlängas. Då pensionen beräknas utifrån förväntad medellivslängd vid pensionering, kommer pensionen successivt bli allt lägre i förhållande till slutlönen om inte den ökade medellivslängden balanseras upp av en höjd utträdesålder från arbetslivet. Det finns ett flertal pensioIn order to cope with the coming demographic challenge with an assumed continued rising average life expectancy, working life needs to be extended. Since the pension is calculated on the basis of expected average life expectancy at retirement, the pension will gradually become lower in relation to the final salary unless the increased average life expectancy is compensated by an increased retireme

Den legala arvsordningen ska garantera att en bröstarvinge får del av föräldrarnas egendom när de dör. I Sverige ska den del en bröstarvinge är garanterad vara hälften av kvarlåtenskapen delat med antalet bröstarvingar. Denna del kallas laglott. Detta innebär en begränsning av en förälders rätt att testamentera bort egendom. Endast hälften av en förälders egendom kan fritt fördelas utanför den legThe right of inheritance is supposed to ensure that an offspring receives part of the parents' property when they die. In Sweden, the part that an offspring to the deceased is guaranteed is half of the estate divided by the number of siblings. This part is the reserved portion (portio legitima). This means that a parent's right to bequeath property is limited. Only half of a parent's p

The Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) faces massive evidentiary problems due to flawed state-cooperation, limited access to sites of atrocity and an insufficient budget. Meanwhile, potentially relevant digital open-source information abounds, as citizens increasingly turn to social media to spread awareness of human rights violations and possible internationa

This thesis studies the very cornerstone of the international refugee law-the principle of non-refoulement. Since its introduction in the 1951 Convention, this principle has played a key role in the protection of refugees. Last 50 years have generated many questions and various interpretations of the scope of the Article 33 of the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees. States have tried to get

Since the 1950's, mass tourism has become a considerable part of modern western culture. Examining where, why and how people have traveled can tell us a lot about people's habits and cultural frames of reference. Yet, the area of tourism history is fairly uncharted, with travelogs being one of the more prevalent objects of interest for academic research. Research focused on travel guides a

Enligt EU-direktiv måste fler tekniska lösningar introduceras i lantbruket med bakgrund till de ökande miljökrav och ekonomiska påtryckningar i världen. Som svar på detta har redan tekniskt styrda radrensare och styrd besprutning börjat etableras på marknaden. Till skillnad från individuella plantvårdssystem som kamerastyrda radhackor, kan GPS-styrda system identifiera fröpositioner innan uppkomstWith higher demands on farmers to reduce the usage of fertilizers and pes ti cides because of their negative environmental impact, as well as the rising prices of resources required for agriculture, precision agriculture has become a big focus in today’s agriculture research. Individual plant care systems are a big part of precision agriculture, and accurate information about the po si tions of in

Den centrala frågan i denna framställning är huruvida det finns ett behov av förändring vad gäller livstidsstraffet i Sverige, och om frågan besvaras jakande, vad förändringen i så fall skulle bestå av. För att kunna besvara frågeställningen på ett tillfredställande sätt jämförs det svenska livstidsstraffet med de engelska och norska påföljdssystemen. Inledningsvis redogörs för olika bestraffningThe main point of this thesis is whether or not there is a need for modifications of the life sentence in Sweden, and should that be the case, how that modification is supposed to be constructed. To answer this in an adequate manner, the Swedish life sentence is going to be compared to the English and Norwegian equivalents. To start with, an account of different theories on penalization and princ

Sammanfattning Sedan Covid-19 pandemin bröt ut har samhället uppställt krav på att allt fler arbetstagare arbetar hemifrån med syfte att bidra till minskad smittspridning. Trots att distansarbete inte är en ny företeelse, har pandemin medfört att frågan väckts om möjligheten till distansarbete för vissa grupper av arbetstagare, även ska finnas i framtiden. Gränsdragningen mellan när och var vi arbSummary Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, society has demanded that more and more workers work from home in order to contribute to reducing the spread of infection. Although teleworking is not a new phenomenon, the pandemic has led to the question being raised as to whether the possibility of teleworking for certain groups of workers should also exist in the future. The demarcation betw

Climate change has become a societal issue that has gained increasing attention in recent years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, presented in year 2007 its Fourth Assessment Report, pointing out different scenarios about the future climate, including the anticipated sea level rises during this century. More recent climate research has shown that sea levels are most likely to r

Abstract We studied the effects of UV-A radiation and predatory fish on mantle pigmentation of freshwater snails Radix balthica. The results showed that UV radiation and fish chemical cue induce larger ratios of pigmented area on mantle, respectively and when combined. UV radiation and predatory fish chemical cue seem to affect mantle pigmentation independently. The ratios (0~100%) of pigmented ma
