The aim of this article is to explore how courts produce certain representations of victims of labor exploitation in the Nordic context based on court judgements from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. To achieve this, we analyze and compare criminal court judgements focused on the exploitation of migrant workers by asking: How are ‘victims’ of labor exploitation represented in Nordic court judg

It is not acceptable that a judge because of ‘fear’ hands down a wrongful judgment. This was mentioned already by Isidore of Seville in his Sententiae and is part of the oaths of judges in many jurisdictions, from the 1230s onwards until this day. The ‘fear’ that is relevant could relate to one of the parties but also other persons in power. Thus, it relates not only to impartiality but – above alIt is not acceptable that a judge because of ‘fear’ hands down a wrongful judgment.

How can we talk about musico-dramatic methods and models for operatic acting, and how do these relate to other kinds of acting? Observing the tendency of operatic professionals and peda-gogues to import concepts and ideals from theatrical and cinematic practices with non-operatic application of music, we reflect upon what possibilities and problems this discursive choice in-stils. Interestingly, w

In situ ellipsometry was used to study the adsorption/desorption of highly purified lipase from Humicola lanuginosa in mixtures with surfactants, at the solid/liquid interface. The effect of the surfactant was studied both when it was allowed to adsorb in mixture with lipase and when added after lipase adsorption. Silica surfaces, totally or partially methylated, were used and the surfactants wereIn situ ellipsometry was used to study the adsorption/desorption of highly purified lipase from Humicola lanuginosa in mixtures with surfactants, at the solid/liquid interface.

Given the negative consequences of bullying, it is important to identify teacherapproaches and to what degree students trust that their teachers can manage the class. Thus, this experimental study examined whether students’ trust in their teacher’s ability to manage the class would be positively associated with defending victims and negatively associated with pro-bullying and passive bystanding. 2

Popular Abstract in Swedish Pelagiska bakterier använder löst organiskt material som kol- och energikälla. Det lösta materialet kan ha sitt ursprung i intern (autokton) eller terrester (allokton) primärproduktion. Den här avhandlingen handlar om hur bakterier använder autoktont och alloktont producerat kol. Dessutom undersöker jag om det finns en koppling mellan kolkällans ursprung och strukturen Organic substrates for pelagic bacteria are derived from dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the water column that originates either from primary production from within the lake itself (autochthonous), or import of organic matter from the terrestrial watershed (allochthonous production). This thesis addresses the utilization of allochthonous versus autochthonous carbon (C) sources by lake bacteriopl

Purpose: To investigate if it is possible to earn abnormal returns from the accruals based trading strategy in Sweden. The aim is also to examine if the benchmark used when classifying firms into accruals portfolios has an impact on the abnormal returns from the trading strategy. Methodology: The study investigates the abnormal returns from the trading strategy that aims to exploit the accruals a

Undersökningsplikten är en form av ansvarsfördelning mellan köparen och säljaren vid en fastighetsöverlåtelse. Köparen ska ha ett incitament att noggrant undersöka fastigheten, för att undvika att upptäcka ett fel som denne inte kan göra gällande mot säljaren i efterhand. Trots att säljaren är den som har mest kännedom om fastigheten och dess egenskaper, har den inte belagts mer en generell upplysThe obligation to examine the property in connection with a real-estate sale is a form of allocation of responsibility between the buyer and seller. The buyer shall have an incentive to closely examine the property to avoid detecting an error after the purchase when he/she cannot make a valid claim against the seller. Despite the fact that the seller is the one who is the most familiar with the pr

I en värld där allt mer och mer blir digitaliserat finns det en stor användargrupp som väljer, av olika anledningar, att förflytta sin behandling av data, både persondata och annan form av data, från det lokala datacentret till en molntjänst. Molntjänster i dagligt tal förknippas ofta med tjänster såsom Dropbox, Share-point och Icloud - molntjänster kan dock vara mycket mer än så och tekniskt koIn an ever more digital world, an increasing number of organizations chose, for various reasons, to move their data from local servers and into the cloud - including personal data. Services most commonly thought of as Cloud services are Dropbox, Share-point and ICloud, but there are a vast number of different Cloud services and variants to choose from - some of which will be covered in the essay,

Uppsatsen fokuserar på privat skadeståndstalan vid konkurrensrättsliga överträdelser ur ett rättsekonomiskt perspektiv. Enligt den europeiska unionsrätten har alla enskilda aktörer rätt till ersättning för skada som uppkommit till följd av en överträdelse av konkurrensreglerna. Det innebär att skador som till exempel följer av att företag träffar konkurrensbegränsande avtal eller missbrukar sin doThe essay is focusing on private damage claims following infringements of the competition rules. According to the law of the European Union, there is a right for all individuals to claim compensation for damage following infringement of competition law.

Sverige har idag ett system med en mycket stark presumtion för villkorlig frigivning efter två tredjedelar av avtjänat fängelsestraff. Enbart den intagnes skötsamhet under sin anstaltsvistelse kan läggas till grund för att den villkorliga frigivningen ska kunna skjutas upp. En majoritet av de svenska riksdagspartierna vill ändra eller avveckla systemet med villkorlig frigivning så som det ser ut iThe laws regarding parole in Sweden consists of mandatory release of a prisoner once two-thirds of their prison sentence has been served. It is only the behavior of the prisoner while in prison that can cause the parole to be declined and delayed. A majority of the Parliament parties in Sweden wants to change or remove the system of parole as it is today. It is mostly the question of whether or no

During the Age of Mass Migration, 30 million Europeans left their home countries and emigrated to the United States. Sweden had one of the highest out-migration rates of the era. Between 1860 to 1920, around 1.3 million people–a quarter of the population–left Sweden to seek opportunity in the United States. This essay delves into one particular aspect of this historic migration episode. I study t

In this essay we see what happens when a government authority which is responsible for designing public space implements a so-called liberal democracy theory. The public art agency of Sweden, a government authority with a big impact on the public art in Sweden, started in 2012 a new approach to bring out conceptual, and contemporary art to the public realm. Their view on art is that it should ques
