Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka vilka effekter ett införande av fotboja som ungdomspåföljd skulle innebära för de unga som i så fall skulle komma i fråga för påföljden. Utgångspunkt tas i det förslag på införande av fotboja för unga som återfinns i SOU 2012:34 Nya påföljder, där påföljden kallas för ungdomsövervakning. Inledningsvis tecknas en översiktlig bild av det rättspolitiska dagsläThe aim of this thesis is to examine the potential effects on youths of an introduction of electronic tagging into the Swedish penal system for juveniles. The proposition of such electronic tagging, presented in SOU 2012:34 Nya påföljder (“New sanctions”) by the name ungdomsövervakning (“youth monitoring”), acts as a starting point for the investigation of the expected effects on youths. First,

Design, as a principal function for innovation in business, governments, and other social units, can play a critical role in creating sustainable solutions. While current debates acknowledge expanding design scope and continuing competencies that distinctively qualify design professionals for undertaking sustainability challenges, design schools in higher education institutions are struggling to m

Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is a major blindness-causing disease, characterized by elevated intraocular pressure due to an insufficient outflow of aqueous humor. The trabecular meshwork (TM) lining the aqueous outflow pathway modulates the aqueous outflow facility. TM cell adhesion, cell-matrix interactions, and factors that influence Rho signaling in TM cells are thought to play a pivotal

Small for gestational age (SGA) is considered as an indicator of intrauterine growth restriction, and multiple maternal and newborn characteristics have been identified as risk factors for SGA. This knowledge is mainly based on measures of average association (ie, OR) that quantify differences in average risk between exposed and unexposed groups. Nevertheless, average associations do not assess th

Background: Integument-related toxicities are common during epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted therapy. Panitumumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting the EGFR that significantly improves progression-free survival when added to chemotherapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have wild-type (WT) KRAS tumours. Primary efficacy and tolerability results from a

Theoretical and empirical research often points to a positive relation between corporate sustainability and organisational performance; however, attempts to conceptualise the multi-dimensional nature of sustainability practices are rare in the current literature. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual framework to aid in understanding and explaining the relationship between sus

Objective Neuropsychiatric events occur unpredictably in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and most biomarker associations remain to be prospectively validated. This study examined a disease inception cohort of 1047 SLE patients to determine which autoantibodies at enrolment predicted subsequent neuropsychiatric events. Methods Patients with a recent SLE diagnosis were assessed prospectively for

In light of a growing realization at the global level that the world’s agricultural system needs to change, the Dutch ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality recently announced its desire to transition into a circular agricultural system: a system where biomass and nutrient loops are closed at the lowest level of governance possible. However, as transitions are highly complex and the Dutc

Tidigare forskning har visat att personer som skadar sig själva tenderar att uppleva mötet med vården negativt. Vårdpersonal kan ha negativa attityder till självskadebeteende, och deras möten med patienter kan väcka känslor av frustration, uppgivenhet och oro, vilket kan påverka bemötandet. Studier har framförallt gjorts med sjuksköterskor och läkare, och i betydligt mindre omfattning med psykologPrevious research has shown how individuals who injure themselves tend to have negative experiences from their encounters with health services. Health service staff may have negative attitudes towards Non-Suicidal Self-injury (NSSI) and their encounters with patients may evoke frustration, hopelessness and worry, which may influence their behavior towards patients. Studies have mainly focused on n

In this study I examine current sexual music, made by women. I focus on songs made and/ or performed by contemporary female artists working in genres - such as hip-hop, pop and R&B - that fall under the umbrella term popular music. What kind of methods do these artists use to make a song feel or come across as sexual? Is it the lyrics? The sound? Could these songs come across as more or less s

Varje år förlorar den Europeiska unionens medlemmar hundratals miljarder kronor i uteblivna mervärdesskatteintäkter. En stor del av dessa förluster beror på omfattande bedrägerier som utnyttjar de lagar och regler som gäller för unionsintern handel mel-lan EU:s medlemsstater. En särskild typ av sådana bedrägerier är Missing Trader Intra Community – fraud, MTIC-bedrägerier. Denna uppsats undersökerEvery year, the members of the European Union lose tens of billions of euros in VAT revenue. A large part of these losses are due to widespread fraud that exploits the laws and rules governing intra-EU trade between EU Member States. One such fraud is Missing Trader Intra Community (MTIC) fraud. This paper examines the causes of MTIC fraud and the legislative efforts in the EU and Sweden to counte

L'exposition des sociétés au changement climatique exige des villes qu'elles répondent de manière adéquate aux pressions environnementales croissantes tout en garantissant le bien-être des citoyens. La planification urbaine durable est un outil important à cet égard. Malmö est un pionnier du développement urbain durable salué au niveau international, mais critiqué pour ses déficits en mati

Growing concerns and sentiment about the negative environmental effects of the fashion industry pressure fashion companies to adopt eco-innovation and pursue more environmentally-sustainable product development. This study explores and examines the drivers of eco-innovation and environmentally-sustainable product development in small- to medium-sized fashion firms in Sweden and Denmark, with the p

In this study it is examined whether the amount of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) is affected by terrorism in three developed countries in Europe from a time series approach. The countries that are examined are France, Spain and the United Kingdom. The time period is 1975-2016 and the observations are annual. In previous literature there is evidence that terrorism should have an impact on FDI. F

Syftet med denna uppsats är att se huruvida de svenska bestämmelserna rörande lagöverträdare under 15 år stämmer överens med Europakonventionen och Barnkonventionen. Konventionerna är ratificerade och Sverige är således förpliktade att följa dess bestämmelser. Europakonventionen har en starkare ställning än Barnkonventionen eftersom den är del av svensk lag. Europakonventionen innehåller, till skiThe purpose of this essay is to compare the Swedish regulation regarding offenders under the legal age of criminal responsibility, with the European Convention on Human Rights, ECHR, and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, UNCRC. Sweden has ratified the conventions which makes Sweden obliged to follow their regulations. The ECHR is part of Swedish legislation, but the UNCRC i

Gender constitutes an important determinant of mental health. Previous research has pointed out the need to investigate and operationalize the concept of gender beyond two distinct categories to account for the social and relational aspects of gender that may influence mental health outcomes. In this thesis I investigate the influence of gender-related norms on mental health outcomes among wome

Public transport and health care constitute the top two priorities for regional authorities in Sweden. Being cost-efficient in the execution of these services is important, not only to lower the costs but also to reach maximum social benefits for the available funding. In sectors like these, where the value of what is produced is not solely measured through the consumers’ willingness to pay, maxim

This study is a comparison between the two natural textile fibers cotton and hemp. A comparison of the various phases in the fibers’ respective lifecycles is prepared by compiling and organizing data in a MET- matrix. This matrix is then analyzed in order to discern what environmental effects are associated with each textile fiber. Apart from raising concerns regarding the fact that sustainable fi
