I samband med påföljdsreformen år 1989 infördes preciserade regler för påföljdsval och straffmätning i det svenska straffrättssystemet, med syftet att öka förutsägbarheten och möjliggöra en enhetlig rättstillämpning. Bland annat infördes billighetsskälen, ett antal skäl hänförliga gärningspersonen, dennes agerande eller sådant som inträffat efter begånget brott. I det fall omständigheten är av sär

Editionsinstitutet och den processuella editionsplikten möjliggör för en part att med domstolens hjälp, under vissa förutsättningar, avtvinga motpart eller tredje man skriftliga handlingar som kan tänkas äga betydelse som bevis i en pågående tvist. En hel del har skrivits om editionsinstitutet och den processuella editionsplikten. Trots detta är rättsläget i många avseende fortfarande oklart. HögThe procedural duty of disclosure enables a party, with the assistance of the court and under certain conditions, to compel the opposing party or a third party to produce written documents that may be deemed significant as evidence in an ongoing trial. Much has been written about the procedural duty of disclosure. Nevertheless, the legal landscape remains unclear in many respects. In recent years

As the climate on earth deteriorates, actions are carried out within Europe to limit the amount of hazardous emissions to lower the environmental consequences due to greenhouse gases. A significant proportion of the emissions can be linked to the construction sector and its use of virgin resources. An area with great development potential within the construction sector is linked to its management

Pactum turpe är en svensk rättsprincip som berör frågan om hur avtal i strid med lag eller goda seder ska hanteras. Principen består av två delar, en avtalsrättslig ogiltighetsregel och ett processrättsligt processhinder. Motiven bakom principens existens är att rättsordningen har ett behov av att kunna avvisa lagstridiga och osedliga avtal för att undvika att rättsord-ningen befläckas av ett såda

Despite efforts to stimulate the dissemination of green purchasing practices, their uptake in business and industry has so far proven limited. Reasons for the limited progress remain largely unclear. One factor explored in this thesis, is the role of information in the operationalization and dissemination of green purchasing in organizations and supply chains. The importance of knowledge and infor

Background: Although uncomplicated cystitis is often self-limiting, most such patients will be prescribed antibiotic treatment. We are investigating whether treatment of cystitis with an NSAID is as effective as an antibiotic in achieving symptomatic resolution. Methods/Design: This is a randomized, controlled, double blind trial following the principles of Good Clinical Practice. Women between th

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex disease that is caused by a complex interplay between genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors. While the major environmental factors, diet and activity level, are well known, identification of the genetic factors has been a challenge. However, recent years have seen an explosion of genetic variants in risk and protection of T2D due to the technical developm

The return to a good life after successfully resuscitated cardiac arrest may be hindered by cardiovascular morbidity, psychological distress and the consequences of anoxic brain injury. To support the return to everyday life, patients and their relatives are in need of health care follow-up with multiple focuses. Usually, this follow-up consists of at least one of three parallel tracks; cardiology

Obesity is globally prevalent and highly heritable, but its underlying genetic factors remain largely elusive. To identify genetic loci for obesity susceptibility, we examined associations between body mass index and similar to 2.8 million SNPs in up to 123,865 individuals with targeted follow up of 42 SNPs in up to 125,931 additional individuals. We confirmed 14 known obesity susceptibility loci

Metabolite concentrations reflect the physiological states of tissues and cells. However, the role of metabolic changes in species evolution is currently unknown. Here, we present a study of metabolome evolution conducted in three brain regions and two non-neural tissues from humans, chimpanzees, macaque monkeys, and mice based on over 10,000 hydrophilic compounds. While chimpanzee, macaque, and m

Formulaic language represents a challenge to even the most proficient of language learners. Evidence is mixed as to whether native and non-native speakers process it in a fundamentally different way, whether exposure can lead to more nativelike processing for non-natives, and how L1 knowledge is used to aid comprehension. In this study we investigate how advanced non-native speakers process idioms

Several institutions regulating gender seem to overlook and even violate rights and needs for those living outside society’s norms about gender and sexuality. The council of Europe’s commissioner for human rights, amongst others, reports about violations of transgender persons’ right to life, health and physical integrity. This essay connects the situation of transgender persons to the fact that t
