Antalet medborgare inom Europeiska unionen som nyttjar den fria rörligheten ökar konstant. Fler och fler familjer har på något sätt en internationell koppling, ett vanligt exempel är äktenskap mellan två personer med olika medborgarskap. När vardagslivet blivit mer globaliserat och oberoende av nationsgränser blir det ibland problematiskt då lagstiftningen inte anpassats därefter. För bara ett par
On July 1st, 2018, a reform regarding the Swedish sexual offence legislation came into force, which meant that the crime of rape in Chap. 6 § 1 of the Penal Code was constructed around the concept of voluntariness instead of around the concept of coercion. The new offence negligent rape was also introduced in Chap 6. § 1 a of the Penal Code. The paragraph regarding rape is still based on previous
On 1st of July 2018 a new sexual crime law was introduced in Sweden. The Swedish sexual crime law is now based on explicit consent. The law also introduces a new offence, negligent rape. The negligence aspect means that intent is not required to be convicted of rape, punishment can be claimed in gross negligence. Gross negligence means that the perpetrator has been deliberately negligent, and in s
Since 2005 an alien can be granted residence permit if, after an overall assessment of the alien’s situation, there are such exceptionally distressing circumstances that he or she should be allowed to stay in Sweden. In July 2014 a provision came in force which stipulates that children may stay in Sweden if there are particularly distressing circumstances. The purpose of this thesis is to determin

I 29 kap. 1 § brottsbalken anges att straffet för ett brott ska bestämmas inom ramen för den tillämpliga straffskalan efter brottets straffvärde. Straffvärdet för ett brott kan anses spegla brottets allvarlighet och flera omständigheter kan påverka straffvärdet. I 29 kap. 2 § BrB anges försvårande omständigheter som påverkar straffvärdet i skärpande riktning. Hedersmotiv kan beaktas inom ramen fChapter 29 section 1 of The Swedish Criminal Code, hereafter called SCC, states that the penalty shall be determined within the framework of the applicable scale of penalties according to the penalty value of the offence. The penalty value can be considered a reflection of the seriousness of the offence. There are a number of circumstances which may affect the penalty value. Chapter 29 section 2 S
The Swedish Government wants to fight honor-related crime and believes that the introduction of a special honor crime is a way to further highlight that such violence is unacceptable. Therefore, in July 2019, the Government commissioned a special investigator to analyze and take a position on a special criminal provision that explicitly aims at honor-realtered violence and oppression. The inquiry
Non-profit associations have since 1st of July 1987 been excluded taxation for valued added tax (VAT). This regulation was introduced following tax reliefs for income tax as the legislator wanted to protect the non-profit associations from excessive fiscal burden and higher costs, being the purpose with the new legislation. After the legislation was put in effect Sweden entered the European Union
Aron Flam was charged on July 17th, 2020 with copyright infringement. He used an already existing work "En svensk tiger" by Bertil Almqvist and made a parody out of the work that he then used for the cover of his book “Det här är en svensk tiger”. Flam uses his freedom of speech in his book which discusses “silence culture” in Sweden, from a critical perspective. He uses the parody to co
Den svenska offentliga sektorn har under de senaste decennierna varit föremål för en rad förändringar vars konsekvenser satt sina spår i många av dess verksamheter. Förändringsprocessens startskott skedde redan på 1980-talet och den offentliga sektorn präglas sedan dessa allt mer av ökad privatisering, konkurrensutsättning, (de)centralisering och ökade krav på effektivisering. Samtliga ovanstående
Barns bevittnande av brott mellan närstående är ett problem som flera gånger diskuterats inom svensk straffrätt. De bevittnande barnen riskerar att påverkas psykiskt och fysiskt på kort såväl som på lång sikt och en kriminalisering av att utsätta barn för ett sådant bevittnande har berörts av lagstiftarna vid flera tillfällen. Lagstiftaren har tidigare inte ansett att en kriminalisering har varit Children witnessing crimes between family members is a problem that has been discussed multiple times in Swedish criminal law. These children can be affected psychologically and physically in both the short and long term, and lawmakers have touched upon criminalizing the exposure of children to this type of behavior several times. Lawmakers previously did not consider criminalization necessary and
Neuroblastoma is a childhood solid tumour originating from undifferentiated neural progenitor cells of the sympathetic nervous system. Drug resistance of childhood cancer neuroblastoma is a serious clinical problem. In the present study, we aimed to identify novel drugs that can inhibit the growth and survival of chemoresistant neuroblastoma. High-throughput screening identified a small molecule,
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant disease due to monoallelic gain-of-function mutations in KRT5 or KRT14. Although autosomal recessive forms of EBS have been associated with mutations in at least 10 genes, recessive EBS due to homozygous biallelic KRT5 mutations has not been reported previously; it has been hypothesized that it would result in prenat
Background-Myocardial scarring from infarction or nonischemic fibrosis forms arrhythmogenic substrate. The Selvester QRS score has been extensively validated for estimating myocardial infarction scar size in the absence of ECG confounders. but has not been tested to quantify scar in patients with hypertrophy, bundle branch/fascicular blocks, or nonischemic cardiomyopathy. We assessed the hypothese
ClC-1 protein channels facilitate rapid passage of chloride ions across cellular membranes, thereby orchestrating skeletal muscle excitability. Malfunction of ClC-1 is associated with myotonia congenita, a disease impairing muscle relaxation. Here, we present the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of human ClC-1, uncovering an architecture reminiscent of that of bovine ClC-K and CLC tran
Background: Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment for self-harm and emotion regulation difficulties. A modified version, DBT-Skills System (DBT-SS), has been developed in the USA for individuals with cognitive difficulties. The present study is a pilot study, testing the DBT-SS in a Swedish context.Methods: Six participants were treated with individual therapy and group
Spermine oxidase (SMOX) catalyzes the oxidation of spermine to spermidine. Observational studies have reported SMOX as a source of reactive oxygen species associated with cancer, implying that inhibition of SMOX could be a target for chemoprevention. Here we test causality of SMOX levels with cancer risk using a Mendelian randomization analysis. We performed a GWAS of spermidine/spermine ratio to
Copper (Cu) is one of the most abundant trace metals in all organisms, involved in a plethora of cellular processes. Yet elevated concentrations of the element are harmful, and interestingly prokaryotes are more sensitive for environmental Cu stress than humans. Various transport systems are present to maintain intracellular Cu homeostasis, including the prokaryotic plasmid-encoded multiprotein pc
Following the activation of the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction over the crime of aggression in July 2018, these acts are for the first time since the Nuremberg Tribunal possible to prosecute before an international court. The crime of aggression may only be conducted by persons in a position effectively to exercise control over or direct the political or military action of a State. Th
