Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om det finns skillnader mellan den bevisvärdering som sker då målsägandens utsaga är huvudbevisning i våldtäktsmål jämfört med rånmål samt att resonera kring problematiken kring en sådan eventuell diskrepans för våldtäktsoffer. För att uppfylla uppsatsens syfte görs en rättsfallsstudie för att analysera våldtäktsmålen och sedan jämföra bevisvärderingen med den i rThe purpose of this essay is to examine if there are differences between evaluation of evidence when the main evidence is the statement of the victim in cases of rape compared with cases of robbery (rån) and to discuss the problems with a possible discrepancy from the view of victims of rape.

Lagen (1988:688) om kontaktförbud har varit föremål för ökad medial uppmärksamhet under senare tid. Bland annat har nyhetstidningar rapporterat om våldshändelser med dödlig utgång, som ofta avser en kvinna som fallit offer för en närstående mans våldsutövning, där det i grunden har funnits ett beviljat (eller obeviljat) kontaktförbud. En hel del kritik har riktats mot lagen, främst från representaThe contact prohibition act (1988:688), or restraining order (RO), has received increased attention in the media lately. Newspapers have occasionally reported incidents with deadly violence, usually concerning a female victim to violence performed by a male who is in close relationship to the victim (intimate partner violence, IPV), where there existed a granted (or not granted) RO.

I skrivelsen Skärpt straff för mord presenterar Justitiedepartementet ett lagförslag som syftar till att förändra tillämpningen av påföljderna för mord. Förslaget innebär att samtliga fall av mord där försvårande omständigheter föreligger ska straffas med livstids fängelse. En stor del av dessa gärningar leder enligt gällande rätt och nuvarande rättstillämpning till ett längre tidsbestämt fängelseIn their official letter Sharper punishments for murder the Ministry of Justice presents a bill to change the choice of sanctions for murder.

Automatiska förlängningar av avtal innebär att en ny bindningstid inträder om konsumenten inte senast vid viss tidpunkt säger upp avtalet. Att konsumentens passivitet är den omständighet som gör att den nya avtalstiden inträder, har bland annat gjort att sådana förlängningar jämförts med negativ avtalsbindning, vilket svensk rättsordning inte accepterar. Situationen är emellertid annorlunda när paAutomatic extension of contracts means that time-limited contracts are automatically extended unless the consumer terminates the contract a certain amount of time before it is to expire. The fact that the consumer’s inactivity is the reason why the contract is being extended has even led to a comparison between such automatic extensions and an illegal form of contracting called negative contract b

There is a problem with overtraining when applying Artificial Neural Networks to a classification problem. One factor that strongly influences the overtraining is the network topology. Understanding the role of the network topology is therefore important to enable the creation of more efficient Artificial Neural Networks.

I kommersiella relationer är det vanligt att kontraktuella rättigheter överlåts till tredje part. Om huvudavtalet innehåller ett skiljeavtal uppstår frågan huruvida de nya parterna automatiskt i och med rättighetsöverlåtelsen är automatiskt bundna även av detta. Den tillträdande avtalsparten har av HD ansetts skiljebunden på grund av rättspolitiska överväganden och principerna i 27 § SkbrL. FråganIn commercial relationships, it is common that contractual rights are transferred to third parties. If the general agreement contains an arbitration agreement, the question arises if the agreement to arbitrate after a transfer of rights becomes automatically binding between the new parties. For instance, The Supreme Court has ruled that the new party is automatically bound due to legal policy cons
