Arbetet behandlar införandet av så kallade säkerhetszoner i Sverige och analyserar säkerhetszonerna ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv. Säkerhetszoner möjliggör för polisen att genomföra kroppsvisitationer och fordonskontroller utan krav på konkret brottsmisstanke inom ett geografiskt avgränsat område. För-slaget om säkerhetszoner återfinns i det så kallade Tidöavtalet och har sedermera lett till lagThis thesis explores the legal implications of introducing so-called security zones in Sweden and analyzes them from a rule of law perspective. These zones allow police to conduct body searches and vehicle inspections without requiring specific criminal suspicion within designated geographic areas. Introduced as part of the Tidö Agreement (Tidöavtalet) and now legislated, security zones aim to com
De utmaningar som dagens och kommande generationer står inför, till följd av klimatförändringarnas konsekvenser, har inga motsvarigheter i historien. Därför utmanas vårt tänkande och agerande från grunden. Som en följd av detta finns en rörelse som försöker påverka politiken och samhället i en mer hållbar riktning: klimataktivisterna. I oktober 2024 friades en klimataktivist av Stockholms tingsrätThe challenges faced by current and future generations as a result of the impacts of climate change are unprecedented.

The uprisings that sparked the Arab Spring in the early 2010s brought about profound transformations in the political landscapes of North Africa and the Middle East. Among the most significantly affected countries were Tunisia and Egypt, both of which witnessed the collapse of long-standing authoritarian regimes. Despite emerging from their revolutions under similar conditions, the two nations exp
Ungdomsreduktionen i 29 kap. 7 § brottsbalken som innebär straffnedsättning för unga lagöverträdare vid straffmätning har under de senaste åren varit under omfattande förändring i straffskärpande riktning. Utvecklingen bryter mot en tradition av mildare straff för unga. Unga har länge särbehandlats straffrättsligt men detta har i större omfattning börjat ifrågasättas, då särbehandlingen kan anses The reduced sentence for juveniles in Chapter 29, Section 7 of the Swedish Penal Code, which entails a reduced sentence for young offenders at the meting out of punishment has in recent years undergone significant changes in a more severe direction.

År 2022 genomfördes en omfattande reform av den svenska arbetsrätten, med fokus på bland annat att modernisera lag (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (LAS). Reformen utgick från januariavtalet 2019 där regeringen åtog sig att lägga fram lagstiftningsförslag som stämde överens med en eventuell partsöverenskommelse framtagen av arbetsmarknadens parter vilket resulterade i ett nytt Huvudavtal som blev grIn 2022, a major reform of Swedish labour law was implemented, with one of its key objectives being the modernisation of the Employment Protection Act (LAS).

Exekutiv funktion är en sammansättning av flera förmågor som är avgörande för ungas möjlighet att hantera krav i skolan och samhället. Studier tyder på att det finns ett samband mellan exekutiv funktion och psykisk ohälsa, däribland ångest, depression och icke-suicidalt självskadebeteende. Tidigare forskning har främst studerat exekutiv funktion utifrån psykologiska test samt undersökt ungdomar meExecutive function refers to a set of skills important for adolescents’ ability to handle school and societal demands.

However, prior studies have mainly investigated executive function through psychological testing and focused on individuals with concu
Folkens och nationernas självbestämmande är en internationell rättslig princip som sträcker sig långt tillbaka i historien. Under perioden efter andra världskriget blev principen central i hanteringen av tidigare koloniala territorier. Ett sätt för ett område att uppnå självständighet, men under de förutsättningar som området själv kräver, blev den fria associationen. Ett sådant associationsförhålThe right of all peoples’ and nations’ self-determination is an international legal principle that dates far back in history. During the period following the Second World War, it became central to the treatment of former colonial territories. One way for a territory to become independent, but under the prerequisites itself requires, became the free association. A free association relationship is c
Bakgrund och syfte: Historiska teknologiskiften kan benämnas Industry 1.0 till 4.0. Ett teknologiskifte innebär att en grupp innovationer inträffar som på ett dramatiskt sätt förändrar företagsmiljön. Industry 5.0 är ett förutspått teknologiskifte som kan karaktäriseras av teknologier som möjliggör samarbete mellan maskiner, digitala system och människan. Syftet med studien är att beskriva och ana
Wastewater contains various resources and utilized simultaneously in different treatment compartments before being released into water bodies. Many municipal wastewater treatment plants are undergoing expansion and reconstruction to meet the stricter effluent requirements of the urban wastewater treatment directive (2024/3019). This situation is driving a demand for sustainable solutions character
I takt med att komplexiteten inom vissa rättsområden ökat, har även behovet vuxit fram av en domstolsorganisation med fördjupad kunskap och kompetens att handlägga tvister inom dessa områden. För att uppnå sådan specialisering har rättskipningen i Sverige delats upp mellan olika särskilda och speciella domstolar, där varje domstolsslag har exklusiv behörighet att pröva mål som faller inom dess resAs the complexity of certain areas of law has increased, so too has the need for a court organization with specialized knowledge and competence to handle disputes within these areas of law. To achieve such specialization, the administration of justice in Sweden has been divided among various specialized courts, each of which has exclusive jurisdiction to hear cases falling within its respective su
Margin of appreciation och proportionalitetsprincipen är två centrala koncept vid begränsningar av fri- och rättigheter enligt EKMR, med avgörande betydelse för bedömningen om en rättighet har kränkts eller inte. Koncepten kan sägas öppna upp för en viss vingelmån vid tolkningen av EKMR. Margin of appreciation ger konventionsstaterna ett visst utrymme att bedöma nödvändigheten av en rättighetsbegrMargin of appreciation and the principle of proportionality are two central concepts concerning limitations on rights and freedoms under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which plays decisive roles in assessing whether a right has been violated or not. These concepts can be said to allow for a certain leeway when interpreting the ECHR. The margin of appreciation grants the contractin
Traffic congestion is a persistent problem in modern urban environments, causing delays, increasing pollution, and negatively affecting the quality of life of millions of city dwellers. As urban populations grow, the need for intelligent traffic man- agement systems becomes more pressing. This thesis presents a novel approach to real-time traffic management using edge computing in conjunction w
