Uppsatsens syfte är att analysera hur barns beslutskompetens inom hälso- och sjukvård regleras i svensk rätt jämfört med Europeiska rådets biomedicinkonvention. Trots att Sverige har undertecknat konventionen har den ännu inte ratificerats, vilket gör det relevant att undersöka hur väl svensk rätt överensstämmer med dess regler och principer. Individens rätt till självbestämmande är central i bådThe purpose of this essay is to analyse how children’s decision-making capacity in healthcare is regulated in Swedish law compared to the Council of Europe’s Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine. Although Sweden has signed the convention, it has not yet been ratified, making it relevant to investigate how well Swedish law aligns with its rules and principles. The individual’s right to self-
Denna uppsats undersöker hur systemet för ersättning av rättegångskostnader i förvaltningsprocessen förhåller sig till rätten till en rättvis rättegång. Denna uppsats undersöker också vilka möjligheter som finns för att få ersättning för rättegångskostnader i förvaltningsprocessen genom en separat skadeståndsta-lan i allmän domstol. För att svara på frågeställningarna tillämpas rättsdogmatisk metoThis thesis examines the system for reimbursing legal costs in the administra-tive law proceedings and how it relates to the right to a fair trial. It also inves-tigates the possibilities for obtaining reimbursement of legal costs in adminis-trative proceedings through a separate damages claim in a general court. To address the research questions, a legal dogmatic method is applied, with a signif
The current, seemingly uninhibited, growth of AI technologies presents one of the most critical modern day quandaries. The magnitude of its potential to develop, necessitates a deeper look into the legal implications associated which this technology.

Urban densification is increasingly promoted as a strategy for sustainable urban development, yet it poses significant challenges for access to daylight and sunlight, particularly in Nordic climates where natural light is limited for large parts of the year. In Sweden, ensuring adequate daylight in residential environments is both a regulatory requirement and a critical factor for occupant well-be
There exists a lack of laser-based remote sensing methods that give signals with high intensity and directionality. According to previous research, mirrorless lasing can meet these requirements; however, neither the dependence on the gain medium geometry nor the light-matter interaction responsible for the emission has been investigated in detail. This thesis project examined the sideways lasing e
Increasing cross-Atlantic tensions have raised concerns that the United States may leverage European digital dependencies for political gain. This has made the EU’s dependence on US cloud providers increasingly politically salient, as cloud infrastructure forms a central part of the European digital economy and may create vulnerabilities to geopolitical coercion. This thesis examines how the EU ba
Purpose:Rapid changes in diet, physical activity and food systems have contributed to rising obesity in developing countries. As national incomes increase, obesity often shifts from higher to lower socioeconomic groups, a process known as the obesity transition. Small Island Developing States (SIDSs) face particular risks because of limited health system capacity, geographic isolation and dependen
