This is an example of a contemporary movement supporting body autonomy and gender equa
Unga vuxna har länge varit särbehandlade i svensk straffrätt. Särbehandlingen sker i både straffmätning och val av påföljd. En av de allmänna uppfattningar som motiverar särbehandlingen är att ungdomar är omogna och har en outvecklad ansvarsförmåga. Särbehandlingen innebär att andra viktiga straffrättsliga principer och teorier sätts åt sidan för att ge plats åt ett mer humanistiskt tänk gällande Young offenders have for a long time been treated differently in the Swedish criminal law system. This particular treatment or juvenile reduction occurs in both the sentencing measure and the choice of penalty. One of the general opinions that motivate this specific treatment is that youths are immature and don't have a developed ability to be responsible. The juvenile reduction means that oth

The instrument wasapplied in an interactive treatment context and administeredto parents in 20 case
This thesis investigates four selected online newspaper’s discursive conceptualizations of Sweden and Denmark’s consent-based law. Spanning a total of 20 articles over a three-month period following the enactment of the law, this study draws on the work of Ekstra Bladet, Dagbladet Information, Expressen and Göteborgs-Posten to deconstruct the dominating tendencies each newspaper outlet evokes. Thr
This bachelor thesis invites the reader to examine how social media platforms have been used by companies during the 2020 corona pandemic. This study bases its case by focusing on a global consulting company with offices in both Denmark and Sweden and how these two offices have used social media platforms LinkedIn and Facebook to communicate during the pandemic. Both countries have utilized diffe
Child sexual abuse is a global public health problem. In Sweden, the social services have the ultimate responsibility to support and protect these children. This study examines social workers' experiences of the challenges and dilemmas that arise in their daily work with children who have been sexually abused. The method used was of a qualitative nature and the respondents were chosen by purpo
Abstract in UndeterminedCombining sludge hydrolysis with predenitrification is a promising method to remove nitrogen and decreased use of external carbon content in wastewater. The Klagshamn wastewater treatment plant plans to alter the primary settler into an in-line hydrolysis basin with subsequent predenitrification to reduce the nitrate load into the overstrained moving-bed biofilm reactor. A
Background: In 2014 the Swedish government assigned to The Public Health Agency of Sweden to conduct studies to evaluate optimal use of existing antibiotic agents. The aim is to optimize drug use and dosing regimens to improve the clinical efficacy. The present study was selected following a structured prioritizing process by independent experts. Methods: This phase IV study is a randomized, open-
Two immunoassay formats, magnetic particles-based assay (Atrazine RaPID assay and Atrazine High-Sensitivity RaPID assay) and microtiter plate based assay (Department of Entomology and Environmental Toxicology, University of California in Davis) were evaluated for the determination of atrazine in sea water samples. The results obtained were compared and validated with those obtained by using on-lin
Background: Postoperative complications (POCs) following resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) are common. The objective of this study was to evaluate risk factors for developing complications and their impact on survival considering prognostic factors of the primary tumor, metastatic pattern and treatment in a well-defined national cohort. Methods: Patients treated with resection for CR
Background and Objective: Coeliac disease is a chronic, immune-mediated disorder for which the only treatment consists of lifelong strict adherence to gluten-free diet (GFD). However, there is a lack of evidence-based guidelines on the GFD dietary management of coeliac disease. This position paper, led by the Special Interest Group in coeliac disease of the European Society of Pediatric, Gastroent
Extraction of vitamin D, including its hydroxylated and esterified metabolites, from soft tissues such as the liver is challenging due to the lipophilic character of matrix and analytes that are expected in very low concentration levels. In this study, we aimed at the optimization of two-step extraction using solid–liquid extraction as the first step, followed by solid-phase extraction. Various so
Studying the Sorgenfri urban renewal project in the Swedish city of Malmö, this article suggests that a shift in planning documents reflects a new understanding of segregation containing traces of arguments from theoretical debates in geography. This new understanding of segregation appears informed by geographic debates on encounters, mobility, and boundaries, and implies that segregation is best
This Letter reports on a first measurement of the inclusive W + jets cross section in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC, with the ATLAS detector. Cross sections, in both the electron and muon decay modes of the W-boson, are presented as a function of jet multiplicity and of the transverse momentum of the leading and next-to-leading jets in the event. Measureme
This thesis addresses the correlation between creditor protection and thecross-border seat transfer of companies in the light of the case law of the European Court of Justice concerning the freedom of establishment of undertakings. After the restrictive outcome of Daily Mail, the judgment of the European Court of Justice in Centros took the legal community by surprise. The following cases of Übers
The health of the environment is not a pressing issue for many, or if it is, this concern is not always reflected in their behavior. How can greater pro-environmental behavior be encouraged in individuals? This study seeks to understand if an active learning experience can be used as a tool to enhance pro-environmental behavior. The volunteer-exchange program called World Wide Opportunities on Org
Argumentet från de marginella fallen spelar på faktumet att det finns människor som är mindre intelligenta och empatiska och har sämre språkförmåga än vissa djur. Detta är ett problem, eftersom det är just dessa egenskaper som man brukar framhålla när människans moraliska överlägsenhet ifrågasätts. I den här uppsatsen kommer jag att analysera två versioner av argumentet: ett lite svagare, som säge
With a new regionalisation process in Europe a number of macro-regions are appearing. The same as countries or cities, macro-regions aim at developing or increasing the competitiveness in the global markets not only for products or funds, but also for ideas, influence and reputation, for trust and attention. The model of competitive identity – the brand management model for nations, cities and reg
