Analysis of the system of criminal procedure in Sweden in light of the proposal for the establishment of a European Public Prosecutor's Office.

This paper presents methodologies that could be used for characterizing subscriber telephone loops that carry DSL services (ADSL and ADSL2+), by determination and analysis of frequency response, time domain reflectometry, and impulse response of the line. From this analysis, the subscriber loop length, identification and location of impairments such as bridged taps, gauge changes, and open ended t

As the identification process is based on the unique patterns of the users, biometrics technologies are expected to provide highly secure authentication systems. The existing systems using fingerprints or retina patterns are, however, very vulnerable. One’s fingerprints are accessible as soon as the person touches a surface, while a high resolution camera easily captures the retina pattern. Thus,

Hans Christian Andersen's tale "The Marsh King's Daughter" (1858) is analysed in relation to Birgitta Trotzig's prose tale of the same title, Dykungens dotter (1985), with the emphasis on Andersen's tale which would seem to be a pious Christian morality in which evil is destroyed and the powers of light conquer darkness. At the same time, Andersen's symbols make clear that darkness is a necessary

Background: Biodiesel is the main liquid biofuel in the EU and is currently mainly produced from vegetable oils. Alternative feedstocks are lignocellulosic materials, which provide several benefits compared with many existing feedstocks. This study examined a technical process and its mass and energy balances to gain a systems perspective of combined biodiesel (FAME) and biogas production from str

Background Diabetes has been defined on the basis of different biomarkers, including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h plasma glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test (2hOGTT), and HbA(1c). We assessed the effect of different diagnostic definitions on both the population prevalence of diabetes and the classification of previously undiagnosed individuals as having diabetes versus not having diabet

Informetric/bibliometric analyses have to a large extent been relying on an assumption that research is essentially cumulative in its nature, which is not the least visible in the rational for using citation analyses to assess quality of research. However, when reviewing both the theoretical literature on how research is organized and studies analyzing the structures of research fields through inf

Kerstin Thorvall (1925–2010) is a Swedish author of books for children and young adults, as well as books for adults. In 1965, she wrote the article “Do all authors of children's books live in Tomtebolandet?” (“Bor alla barnboksförfattare i Tomtebolandet”, Expressen 1965) in which she claims that gender roles in Swedish children's literature, are depicted in an old and stereotypical fashion. She a

Background: Integration of second-generation (2G) bioethanol production with existing first-generation (1G) production may facilitate commercial production of ethanol from cellulosic material. Since 2G hydrolysates have a low sugar concentration and 1G streams often have to be diluted prior to fermentation, mixing of streams is beneficial. Improved ethanol concentrations in the 2G production proce

Popular Abstract in Swedish Personer med insulinbehandlad diabetes saknar, eller har kraftigt försämrad, kroppsegen förmåga att reglera blodsockernivån genom utsöndring av hormonet insulin, och måste därför ta flera injektioner insulin dagligen. De flesta injektioner tas i samband med måltid, och individen bestämmer normalt sina måltidsdoser utifrån aktuell blodsocker- och hälsostatus i kombinatioDiabetes is a disease characterized by insufficient capacity to regulate the blood glucose level. In insulin-dependent diabetes, multiple daily injections of insulin have to be administered. In-between scheduled visits to the care provider, the patient has to manage the glucose control independently. Insulin dosing is a non-trivial task and many patients find it difficult. This is reflected in the

In animal models of Parkinson's disease, striatal overactivation of ERK1/2 via dopamine (DA) D1 receptors is the hallmark of a supersensitive molecular response associated with dyskinetic behaviors. Here we investigate the pathways involved in D1 receptor-dependent ERK1/2 activation using acute striatal slices from rodents with unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions. Application of the dopa

Tidigare forskning har visat att patienter inom psykiatrin är föremål för kränkande behandling och oetiskt bemötande från personalen, där stigmatisering av psykisk sjukdom ses som en bidragande faktor. Föreliggande studie ämnade att undersöka bemötandebrister inom den svenska vuxenpsykiatrin. Syftet var att identifiera riskfaktorer för kränkande behandling och olika former av oetiskt bemötande av

Denna studie avser att undersöka hur det formella ansvaret är definierat i olika styrdo-kument från statlignivå ner på kommunalnivå när det kommer till frågan om mäns våld mot kvinnor och det sker efter att de blivit utsatta. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ text-analys. Undersökningen undersöker om termen ansvar är definierad i flertalet statliga dokument som handlar om mäns våld mot kvinnor samt

Today’s hospitals in Sweden are all dependent of large networks of suppliers of medical supplies. These consist of many supply chains that are regularly exposed to both external and internal risks. One hospital affected by these risks is UMAS (Malmö University Hospital). UMAS is dependent on its supply chains to work without disruptions but it is unclear what risks they might be exposed to and how

Arbetsdomstolens partsammansättning har länge ifrågasatts. Fyra av sju ledamöter utnämns på förslag av centrala arbetsmarknadsorganisationer. Denna sammansättning är en konsekvens av att den svenska arbetsrättsliga lagstiftningen utgår ifrån den s.k. svenska modellen med kollektivavtalsbärande centrala arbetsmarknadsorganisationer som legala representanter för arbetsmarknadens parter. I den juridiThe composition of the Swedish Labour Court with members representing the interests of employers and employees has been questioned since long. Four out of seven members are appointed and mandated on proposals of central labour market organizations (this members are hereinafter referred to as “interest members”). This composition is an effect of the fact that the Swedish labour legislation assumes

Since EU’s expansion to incorporate former Communist countries, attempts to solve the so-called “Roma issue” spurred an unprecedented array of policies, interventions and measures at national and transnational level. Instead of the expected positive changes, discrimination and poverty worsened. The current migration waves, economic crisis, and the surge of far-right nationalism, contributed to an

This thesis analyses the state aid given to European airlines during the Covid-19 pandemic and looks into Ryanair’s arguments that member states discriminated between airlines, targeting their own national carriers with aid while forsaking budget airlines and non-national airlines. Two research questions were posed, investigating how member states applied the Temporary Framework for state aid set

In 2008, the National Library of Sweden decided to transition from the Swedish system of classification, SAB, to the internationally established system Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). The aim of this master’s thesis is to study the process of transition and the effect of this transition on the library collections and users of three Swedish libraries: two university libraries and one public lib
