The Viking Age has long been understood to be a time of great violence. However, research in the last 50 or so years has tended to focus only on more peaceful aspects of Nordic cultures during that period.

Den svenska mervärdesskattelagen, ML, stadgar att mervärdesskatt ska beta-las vid omsättning av vara. Ett exempel på när sådan omsättning föreligger är enligt 2 kap. 1 § 1 p. då en vara överlåts mot ersättning. Mot bakgrund av att mervärdesskatterätten i hög utsträckning är unionsrättsligt harmoniserad ska ML tolkas i ljuset av mervärdesskattedirektivet. I direktivet används inte be-greppet omsättThe Swedish Value Added Tax Act provides that VAT must be paid whenever there is a turnover of goods. An example of such turnover is, according to Chapter 2, Section 1(1), when goods are transferred against payment.

Denna uppWhen determining sanctions in Swedish criminal law, the courts assume penal value as the starting point. The most common factors used to reduce penal value is expressed through legislation, however the courts also hold the capacity to consider other elements of the case that they consider to be significant. These factors can further be used to rule below the established penalty scale for the offen
Vårdnadsreglerna, framför allt regleringen om gemensam vårdnad, har gjort en omfattande utvecklingsresa från 1970-talet och framåt. Uppsatsen syftar till att belysa, med en rättsdogmatisk metod, vilka förändringar som gjorts och vilket perspektiv som ligger bakom dem. Regleringen har gått från att gemensam vårdnad enbart var aktuellt för gifta föräldrar, till en presumtion om att gemensam vårdnad

Empirical EKC literature has conceptual flaws that arise due to the inclusion of polynomials and cointegrating relationships of powers of integrated processes. Additionally, previous studies focused on a narrow nexus between environmental degradation and economic growth that yield only a partial EKC. Considering hereinabove mentioned points the aim of this study is to assess the EKC hypothesis in
