Förevarande uppsats behandlar de argument och ställningstaganden som ligger bakom lagstiftarens beslut beträffande assisterad befruktning i allmänhet, och surrogatmoderskap i synnerhet. Den alternativa familjebildningen och den assisterade befruktningens historia går långt tillbaka i tiden, men började på allvar regleras på 1980-talet, då inseminationsutredningen grundligt utredde frågan. VariatThe thesis at hand deals with the arguments and positions underlying the legislators decisions concerning Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) in general, and surrogate motherhood in particular. The history of alternative ways to start a family, and ART goes far back. However, it only really began to be the subject of regulation in the 1980s, when the government issued an investigation, to thoro

The theoretical framework conn

Equipped with Junot Díaz’s novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007) and his collections of short stories Drown (1996) and This Is How You Lose Her (2012), this thesis interprets the fundamentals of migrant literature, studies Díaz’s tools of migrant depiction, and examines contemporary postcolonial and migrant discourse. This is performed in three integral segments of study. First, the un

Microplastic particles are of increasing environmental concern around the globe and recent studies have shown that these particles are present in the entire water column, thus affecting a range of zooplankton including copepods that have a vital role in the marine food web. This study investigated whether microplastic beads have an effect in the filtration rate in the copepod Acartia tonsa, which

Förbättringar i reproducerbarhet och kapacitet av akustiska mikrofluidiska infångningssystem Vad är akustisk infångning? Arbetet i den här uppsatsen är fokuserat på mikrofluidiska system som med hjälp av ultraljud kan fånga in celler och små partiklar. Mikrofluidik är ett fält som innefattar tekniker där man hanterar små flöden i mycket små kanaler. Principen för akustisk infångning bygger på attAcoustic trapping is a novel technology that allows for microfluidic sample preparation and pretreatment. The aim of this text is to give the reader a general insight in microfluidics with a focus on acoustic trapping. One of the next steps in the development of acoustic trapping is to promote commercialization of the technology which requires that similar devices can be manufactured reproducibly.

The debate on the legislation on sexual offense has a long history regarding the current wording, which defines the circumstances of the crimes rape and sexual coercion should be removed and the line between criminal and unpunished deed should be drawn at the level of whether participation was involuntarily. In October 2016 the Sexual Offences Committee introduces a new SOU (Swedish Government Off

An emerging tool within public relations is the use of bloggers as spokespersons because of their ability to act as influencers. This study investigates how fashion bloggers present products and services they receive from companies in their blogs. The research questions address how discourses are manifested and how independence is expressed in the texts. Based on Fairclough's theory of discour

Den moderna tidens tekniska utveckling har lett till att allt större och mer omfattande skadeståndsmål anhängiggörs i domstolarna. Fler sakägare är berörda, de tvistiga frågorna i målet är allt mer tekniskt komplicerade och bevismaterialet är omfattande. Domstolarna har stundom hanterat en sådan situation genom att använda sig av pilotmålsmodellen. Modellen har ingen klar definition och användningTechnological development in modern times has led to increasingly larger and more extensive tort cases being brought before courts. The processes are difficult to handle, time-consuming and costly. The courts have occasionally handled the situation by using a model called “pilotmålsmodellen” (or “test case model”). The model has no clear definition and the field of usage is indistinct. The model i

Under de senaste åren har ett antal fall av hets till självmord på internet och sociala medier uppmärksammats såväl nationellt som internationellt. Under våren år 2018 rapporterade medier i Sverige om ett svenskt fall där en polisman givit en ung kvinna instruktioner via sms om hur hon bäst skulle begå självmord. Eftersom självmord och självmordsförsök inte är kriminaliserat blir medverkansreglernIn recent years, a number of cases of incitement to suicide on the internet and social media have been highlighted both nationally and internationally. In spring 2018, media reported on a Swedish case where a policeman gave a young woman instructions through text messages about how to best commit suicide. Since suicide and suicide attempts are not criminalized, the rules of complicity are not appl

The aim of this paper is to establish and implement a framework for the systematic interpretation of insurance contracts. Specifically, this paper will try and establish a uniform means of interpreting an insurance contract, and identify and assess the negative and positive aspects associated with the adoption of such a system. Furthermore, this paper looks to investigate whether or not the interp

Bluvisions IoT-system har varit huvudfokus under utredningen av om IoT(Internet of Things) är lönsamt att implementera på framtidens Valmetmaskiner. Från början så skulle projektet avgränsas till pressning, kräppning och upprullning men under examensarbetets start fick Valmet svårt att hitta orsaken till varför en ny komponent hade havererat. Havereringen tros ha haft ett samband med höga vibratioBluvision’s IoT-system has been the focus during the investigation if IoT (internet of things) is something that can be implemented on future Valmet machines. From the beginning the bachelor thesis was restricted to press, creping and turn-up. During the initial phase of the bachelor theses start Valmet had problem finding out why a new component had failed. Therefore, it was more valuable for Val

Östersjön har under decennier påverkats av övergödning. Det är den stora tillförseln av näringsämnen och den långsamma vattenomsättning som gör att Östersjön är speciellt utsatt för övergödning. De näringsämnen som orsakar övergödning är vanligtvis fosfor och kväve. Dock finns en tveksamhet i forskningsvärlden om huruvida respektive ämne bidrar till övergödning. En fråga som forskarna är särskilt In the past decades, increased organic carbon concentrations have been reported from freshwaters across the Northern Hemisphere. However, there is little knowledge regarding whether or not these changes are linked to increasing concentrations of organic nitrogen. This poor understanding of nitrogen biogeochemistry is a problem in face of the potential eutrophication effects of nitrogen in receivin

Cambodia continues to experience a high prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) across the country. This may be attributed to the deeply embedded patriarchal customs that emphasize the subservience of women and authority of men. Previous literature has found that IPV may lead to negative health implications among victimized women, such as impaired well-being, unintended pregnancies, and HIV/

Bakgrund: Informationsteknologin har genomgått flera dramatiska förändringar under åren. Den senaste stora förändringen var uppkomsten av Internet. Internet skapade billiga och effektiva sätt att koordinera och utbyta information. Det skapade inte bara möjligheter utan även frågor om hur företag borde använda dessa teknologier för att skapa lönsamhet. Ett sätt för företag att svara på des

Several studies have been made regarding if there is discrimination towards the Roma on the South Eastern European labour market. The main result in previous studies has shown that the salary difference between the majority population and the Roma is to a great extent explained by difference in attained education. This study looks at what factors effects education attainment with the aim to explai

I ägarledda bolag där aktieägare i regel också är aktiva som organledamöter är det viktigt att kunna reglera beslutsfattandet i bolaget och att ha kontrollen över ägarkretsen. Aktieägarna kan använda styrningsverktygen bolagsordningen och aktieägaravtalet för att reglera detta. Det övergripande syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka förhållandet mellan bolagsordningen och aktieägaravtalet som sIn closely held companies, shareholders are often also involved as Board members and in these companies it is important to govern the decision-making process and the sale of shares. The Articles of Association and the Shareholders’ agreement are governing instruments and can be used for this purpose. The overall purpose of this thesis is to examine the relationship between the Article of Associati

The Nigerian jihadist-terrorist movement Boko Haram reached international notoriety especially after the bombing of an UN-headquarters in Abuja in 2011 and after the kidnappings of 276 schoolgirls in 2014. But these events are minor parts of rapid evolutionary ideological developments and expansion. In 2009 Boko Haram´s leader, Mohammad Yusuf, was killed by Nigerian forces and the movement was con

Undersökningar visar att en majoritet av Sveriges invånare har medierna som sin primära ny-hetskälla för domstolarnas verksamhet. Eftersom en individs förtroende för domstolarnas verksamhet korrelerar med den kunskap som individen har om domstolarna och deras verk-samhet, väcks frågan i hur stor utsträckning mediernas skildringar av domstolarna påverkar allmänhetens förtroende för dem. Ett förtroeStudies show that a majority of the Swedish population has the media as their primary source regarding information about the courts. Because an individual's trust in the function of the courts correlates with his or her knowledge of the courts’ dealings, the question of to what extent the media depictions of courts affects the public’s trust in them can be asked. Trust in social institutions i

Scanian wetlands were extensively drained in the late 19th and early 20th century, with as little as 10% of historical wetlands remaining today. However, due to an increased understanding of the many important functions served by wetlands in the agricultural landscape, there’s now a strong incentive to restore these systems. In this study, 83 wetlands created as part of Kävlingeåprojektet were vis
