Sverige har de senaste åren mottagit kritik från olika håll på grund av den rådande narkotikalagstiftningen. Kritikerna menar att Sveriges är i stort behov av att utvärdera sin narkotikalagstiftning och följa i omvärldens fotspår och överse straffen för narkotikamissbrukare och möjligen rent av avkriminalisera när det gäller eget bruk. Socialminister Lena Hallengren svarar bestämt att någon utrednIn recent years, Sweden has received criticism from various sources because of their current drug legislation. The critics believe that Sweden needs to evaluate its drug legislation and follow in the footsteps of the rest of the world by revising the punishments for drug addicts, possibly even decriminalizing their personal use. Social Affairs Minister Lena Hallengren firmly replies that no invest
The main topic of this thesis is the storage location assignment problem, which can also be seen as a traveling salesman problem. The objective is to find the shortest path between items to be picked at a medium-sized warehouse. Orders come in batches consisting of items that will be assembled in-house. Therefore, it is essential to pick up all the items contained in the batch before they are drop
At the turn of the twentieth century, Swedish painter Eugène Jansson created a series of paintings inspired by the city nights of Stockholm. This bachelor thesis examines the paintings in relation to urban gay spaces and sexual meetings in the early nineteen hundreds. The paintings by Jansson, himself a homosexual male, have at a few times vaguely been described as portraying the moments before an
Denna uppsats syftar till att analysera möjligheten till avdrag för kostnader för klimatkompensation i svensk skatterätt. Den kommer undersöka om möjligheten för avdrag finns i det system vi redan har och vad som krävs för att en kostnad generellt ska ses som avdragsgill, framför allt konflikten mellan en avdragsgill driftkostnad och en icke avdragsgill gåva. Uppsatsen kommer också behandla viktigThis essay aims to analyse the possibility of tax deductions for costs for climate compensation in Swedish tax law. It will mainly examine if the possibility exists in the system we already have and what is requested for a cost to be deductible, foremost the conflict between a deductible operating cost and a non-deductible gift. It will also highlight important precedence on the subject and interp
Created in the aftermath of the Second World War, the main task of the UN is the maintenance of international peace and security. Although the UN Charter, signed in San Francisco in 1945, has remained almost the same, the world has changed. In order to adapt the Charter to new upcoming problems two main possibilities exist. The Charter can either be changed itself, following the procedure set fort
This paper adresses key issues of constructions and ideas of our social reality in relation to the international political organisation. Through constructivist analyses this paper highlights and contrast two identity contructions which are of great relevance for the European integration of today. By definig the main charachters of the persistant and condemning discourse of Balkanism and the young
This essay is based on a collaboration project, involving social services and schools in Malmö, which was executed during 2010-2011. Our focus has been on the project's purpose to strengthen the common aim of assisting children in difficult situations. One mean of achieving this aim has been to place social workers in the school environment in order to strengthen cooperation between the two or
Denna uppsats behandlar den okonventionella spaningsmetoden infiltration. Infiltration är en spaningsmetod som svensk polis har använt i sin brottsbekämpande verksamhet under lång tid utan något uttryckligt lagstöd. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda infiltration ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv. Den rättsliga grunden för infiltration och de regler som ska beaktas vid dess användning ska utredas i This essay concerns the unconventional reconnaissance method of infiltration. Infiltration is a reconnaissance method that Swedish police has used in its law enforcement activities during many years, even though no section in Swedish law explicitly justifies its use. The purpose of this essay is therefore to investigate the legal basis of infiltration and whether this legal basis is in compliance
Den 11 mars 2020 klassificerades spridningen av Covid-19 som en pandemi av världshälsoorganisationen. Sedan dess har över 280 miljoner människor smittats och 5,4 miljoner människor avlidit. Utvecklingen av pandemin har inneburit att diskussionen avseende mänskliga rättigheter och patentskydd återupptagits. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera huruvida det föreligger en adekvat balans mellan patOn March 11, 2020, the spread of Covid-19 was classified as pandemic by the World Health Organization. Throughout the pandemic more than 280 million cases have been confirmed and more than 5.4 million people have lost their lives. The pandemic has led to an increased attention to the relation between human rights and patent protection. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze whether there is a
In this study a module for calculating the solar exposure of individual fluid cells was developed to more accurately represent the effect of photolysis on the pollutant dispersion in an urban street canyon. The module was tested and validated on 12 different cases, each with a different geographical location, time of year and/or time of day. It was used for four parallel simulations performed on a
Hydrogen bonding based self-assembly is prevalent throughout nature dictating the folding of proteins and DNA. Hydrogen bonding has been utilized for self-assembly of small monomers into aggregates of varying size and shape. Potential applications of these aggregates could be creation of ion channels, formation of inclusion complex for delivery of drugs or capture of hazardous material in water su
A fundamental postulate of quantum mechanics is that the Hamiltonian of a closed system is Hermitian, guaranteeing real-valued energies and conserved probabilities throughout the evolution of the system. However, for quantum systems where there is dissipation and crosstalk with the environment, such as a system of quantum dots connected to an environment of metallic leads, the dynamics of the syst
Due to extensive wildfires in Sweden during the years reaching from 2014 to 2019 Swedish authorities conducted an investigation examining the municipal rescue service’s ability to lead and conduct complex and cross-border operations and found them lacking. This resulted in extended demands on cross-border collaborations and continuous overall management. To meet the new demands municipal rescues s
Mer än en tredjedel av all producerad mat slösas på vägen från produktion till konsumtion, där privata hushåll utgör den största delen av avfallskedjan. Konsekvenserna innebär slöseri av vatten-, gödningsmedel och odlingslandets effektivitet. En undersökning av det angivna problemet har genomförts och innehåller syftet att minska matsvinnet i hushåll. Genom att använda en användarcentrerad designpMore than one-third of all food produced is wasted in the food chain from production to consumption, where private households represent the largest food waste faction. In turn, water, fertilizer and cropland efficiency is wasted as well. Investigating the stated problem, this paper’s aim is to reduce food waste.
