Regeringen ansåg att införandet av ett kvinnofridsbrott var en viktig åtgärd för att belysa det våld som kvinnor utsätts för i hemmen och för att höja straffvärdet för den här gärningstypen. Regeringen ämnade genom kriminalisering att markera allvaret i systematiska övergrepp, brott samt kränkningar som begås av en nuvarande eller tidigare partner. Därtill hade regeringen för avsikt att stärka detThe implementation of the crime, gross violation of a women’s integrity was considered to be an important measure to illustrate the violence that women are exposed to in domestic environments and to raise the penal-value for those acts. The government’s intention with the criminalization was to put a mark on the severity of systematic abuse, offence, and infringement that are perpetrated by a curr

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate an alternative way of management within physical systems engineering development (PSED), a term which represents all fields of engineering where physical components are involved. More specifically, analysing how agile methodologies can be applicable with the use of technological advancements to overcome the restrictions hindering the increase of efficie

To stay within our planet’s limits and reach the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, there is an urgent need to rethink our current and dominant systems. This thesis focuses on the food system, in particular, and explores how an overarching turnaround in the way we produce and consume food has the potential to trigger and steer a greater transition towards sustainability. However, this

Internationella kommersiella avtal medför en ökad risk för att ändrade förhållanden påverkar parternas möjligheter till fullgörelse. Uppsatsen undersöker främst säljarens möjligheter att undgå skadeståndsansvar vid fullgörelsehinder, särskilt mot bakgrund av Covid-19 pandemin. Fokus i uppsatsen ligger på tillämpliga lagregler, principerna om force majeure och hardship samt force majeure och hardshInternational commercial contracts involve a greater risk of change of circumstances affecting the parties’ possibility to perform. This thesis mainly examines how the seller can avoid liability to pay damages because of non-performance, especially in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic. Focus is on domestic rules and the force majeure and hardship excuses. A legal dogmatic method with a comparative

This thesis investigates how the distinction between science and pseudoscience is mediated on Wikipedia as a proxy for how this is communicated to the general public overall. Currently one of the most visited places on the web, Wikipedia is increasingly considered trustworthy, although relatively little is known about its sources. The theoretical framework of the study is built around the notion o

Our theme for this bachelor’s thesis is to take a closer look at an approach used in social work that has come to create a template of sorts for how to perform daily tasks: Evidence-based practice (EBP). The broad mass of researchers and professionals in social work agree that EBP serves the common good and that the proven methods included in EBP make social work more individualized. According to

The purpose of the study was to understand how social workers reason about the Convention on the Rights of the Child in relation to the scope for action within the Social Services. The study was based on three questions, how do social workers reason about children's right to have their voice heard in their work, how do social workers reason about children's right to receive information in

We evaluated a sample of 78 diversified Actively Managed Equity Funds (AMEFs) with domestic holdings in Swedish stocks, in terms of historically risk-adjusted returns during the time period 2015-01-01 - 2019-12-31. Furthermore, we split our sample of AMEFs into two market capitalisation categories: Large/Mid-capitalisation (LMC) and Small/Mid- capitalisation (SMC). Moreover, we selected the top pe

Dark matter is an invisible type of matter believed to make up 85 % of the matter in the universe, but it has not yet been identified by experiments. According to certain particle physics theories, possible signatures of dark matter are so-called dark jets. They are the dark matter equivalent to classic jets, i.e collimated streams of particles. These jets could be produced from the proton-proton

Stellar abundances are important for understanding the chemical evolution of galaxies and provide us with constraints on stellar evolution and supernova nucleosynthesis. To determine stellar abundances accurately, atomic data is crucial. This data is incomplete for many elements, especially in the infrared region. In particular, hyperfine structure (hfs) data in the near-infrared region is lacking

Lignin accounts for 15 – 30 % of plant biomass, but is till today remarkably underutilized, mainly due to its heterogeneity and recalcitrance towards depolymerization. The bacterial conversion of lignin into value added chemicals is a highly promising approach to overcome this underutilization and can help to improve the economic competitiveness of the biorefinery concept. In the current study, 1

Several problems concern about energy are frequently discussed in recent decades, such as the shortage of traditional energy resource, the increase of energy price and the destruction of living environment by energy conversion. To solve these problems, sustainable development of energy become a preferential task all around the world. Under current circumstances, applying energy saving measures and

I detta examensarbete kommer sex miljöcertifieringssystem att jämföras med varandra för att se hur dessa beaktar inomhusmiljön i nybyggnationer för skolor, lokaler och bostäder. Dessutom kommer det att redovisas vilka krav och förordningar som dessa förhåller sig till för att uppnå en god inomhusmiljö samtidigt som man beaktar människans behov. Dessa miljöcertifieringssystem som kommer att jämföraIn this thesis, six environmental certification systems will be compared with each other, in order to analyze how these systems, take the indoor environment into account in new buildings for schools, premises and housing. In addition, it will be reported what requirements and regulations these relate to in order to achieve a good indoor environment while taking into account people's needs. The

Obtaining DNA sequences is a time-consuming task, which typically requires one or several days for completion. One way of reducing analysis times is to be satisfied with long-range sequence patterns on the order of thousands of base pairs. DNA barcoding is a DNA-characterising technique that works according to this principle. It does so by using fluorescence microscopy to visualise long-range sequ

Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) produce rhythmic behaviour across all animal phyla. Cnidarians, which have a radially symmetric nervous system and pacemaker centres in multiples of four, provide an interesting comparison to bilaterian animals for studying the coordination between CPGs. The box jellyfish Tripedalia cystophora is remarkable among cnidarians due to its most elaborate visual system.

High and low pollen deposition years in the period 1998-2010 were recorded for ten forest-forming trees in Roztocze (SE Poland) using Tauber-style traps. The coincidence of very high/low pollen deposition years recorded in Tauber traps and aerobiological data obtained by volumetric samplers shows that these phenomena occur simultaneously in different places across vast areas of a tree's distributi

Angular correlations between unidentified charged trigger (t) and associated (a) particles are measured by the ALICE experiment in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV for transverse momenta 0.25 < p(T)(t,a) < 15 GeV/c, where p(T)(t) > p(T)(a). The shapes of the pair correlation distributions are studied in a variety of collision centrality classes between 0 and 50% of the total hadronic cros
