Principerna om oskyldighetspresumtion och fri bevisprövning existerar med det gemensamma målet att nå så pass materiellt korrekta domar som möjligt. Dessa två rättssäkerhetsprinciper hamnar på ytan i konflikt med varandra när den tilltalade använder sig av sin rätt att tiga för att undvika att belasta sig själv; tystnaden får inte tolkas negativt för den tilltalade, men domstolen är å andra sidan The principles of presumption of innocence and free evaluation of evidence share a common raison d’être in their strife to produce as materially proper judgements as possible. However, these two principles of rule of law seemingly appear to conflict when a suspect exercises his right to remain silent in order to avoid self-incrimination; a suspect’s silence may not be interpreted negatively as evi

Ämnet för denna uppsats är näthat vilket kan innebära brott som förolämpning, förtal och ofredande. Men trots att ärekränkningslagstiftningen är vedertagen är den inte helt vattentät. Ärekränkning är ett gammalt hedersbrott som sedan lång tid tillbaka har reglerats i svensk straffrätt. I Sveriges strafflag från 1864 (SL) avsåg förtalsbestämmelsen att värna om den enskildes goda namn och medborgerlThe subject of this essay is net hate, which can implicate felonies such as insult, defamation and harassment. Even though the Swedish rules specific to defamatory acts are recognized, they are far from comprehensive. Defamation, an offence that violates someone’s honor, is an old crime in the Swedish history of law. In the Criminal Law (SL) from 1864 the rule of defamation was intended to protect

This paper addresses the Environmental Management System (EMS) frameworks among the twenty-five biggest oil companies in the world. An Environmental Management System is a framework which can be used by companies to structurally control and manage their environmental aspects and impacts. Specifically in this study, focus is put on the content and structural set-up of EMS frameworks. The study look

As the world faces great sustainability challenges, climate adaptation and mitigation strategies are being linked to sustainability transitions as a desired approach for many cities, especially in the Nordic countries. This thesis looked at how the City of Malmö in Sweden, as a case study, is currently governing the transition towards climate adaptation and environmental sustainability, with a foc

This study examines (mis)representations of women within hip-life culture through the prism of African feminism and Black feminist thought and provides a thematic analysis of seven themes of misogyny against hip-life culture. In painting the picture of the nature of female representation in hip-life, this study provides an analysis of how these images affect Ghanaian women through accounts from fe

Events, such as increased risks of drought and flooding, that scientist have associated with climate change can have serious impacts on the physical environment, society, and the economy. In the past companies, despite their significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions were largely excluded in the search for solutions. However, increasing awareness among politicians and civil society has r

This thesis provides an account of the storage strategies for mitigation of excess electricity production (EEP) from wind energy in the Öresund region of Denmark and southern Sweden, characterized by an increasing share of wind power. Hydrogen is a versatile storage technology with potential in both large and small scale options, and for utilization in several application areas. TIS framework and

Popular science summary: Non-invasive genetic monitoring of large carnivores Proper conservation planning of endangered wildlife populations is closely tied to availability of scientifically-sound abundance and distribution data. However, inquiring high quality data for rare or elusive carnivore species inhabiting remote habitats is extremely challenging. Non-invasive collection of DNA sources (

Abstract This paper studies the encounter of the Roma culture with Swedish culture during the period 1950 to 1975. I understand this encounter as a period in which the Swedish authorities tried to integrate the Roma culture by means of the homogenization of cultural values. During the studied period of time, the confronted values were those of a Roma culture with traditional defensive attitude ma

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Naturbetesmarker samt ängs- och hagmarker fungerar som boplats och födokälla för vilda pollinerande insekter, men intensifiering av modernt jordbruk och markanvändning har gjort att dessa typer av gräsmarker minskar drastiskt. Vilka effekter detta får för pollinering i de kringliggande markerna genom ökad fragmentering, och därmed ökande isolering från dylika grAbstract Semi-natural grasslands, which act as nesting and foraging habitats for wild pollinating insects, have declined tremendously due to both agricultural intensification and land abandonment. The effects this has on plant pollination in the surrounding landscapes, through increasing fragmentation and isolation from natural habitats, is relatively well known for cultivated crops but much less

The response of concrete structures subjected to blast load can be studied numerically using commercial finite element programs. The complexity of reinforced concrete makes modeling and simulation of large structures time and computer power consuming. Consequently, The Swedish Defense Research Agency, FOI, has an interest in finding a fast and numerically efficient model to study this response to

China's growing and expanding economic engagement in Africa the last century, has captured the attention of International Relations, in media and research as well as in Europe and Africa, but also worldwide. In particular, much attention was brought together with the Forum on China – Africa Cooperation held in Beijing 2006 (FOCAC III), when China declared the year as The Year of Africa and pre

Air pollution still poses a serious air quality problem. There are numerous of different sources for air pollution. One of them is ship traffic, which has an effect on human health as well as the climate system. We decided to investigate one of the largest shipping lanes in the North Sea to what extent ships actually contribute to the particle concentrations in inland locations. Both particle numb

Sammanfattning År 1969 påbörjades en utredning som kom att resultera i lag om samboende gemensamma bostad (1973:651). Det var första gången en lag stiftades som specifikt tog syfte på samboskapet som samlevnadsform. Med lagen infördes en viss övertaganderätt av den bostad som utgjorde sambornas gemensamma hem. Lagstiftningen har utvidgats och modifierats sedan dess. I den nu gällande sambolagen (2Summary In 1969 began a legislative investigation that resulted in the law on cohabitants’ joint dwelling (1973:651). It was the first time a law was passed that specifically aimed at this form of cohabitation. The law introduced a certain right to take over the property which constituted the cohabitees’ common home. The legislation has been extended and modified since then. In the current Cohabit
