Den sociala indikationen är ett juridikens medel för att i vissa fall rättfärdiga att vuxna missbrukare bereds vård, oberoende deras eget tycke. Ett sådant tvångsförfarande innebär i grunden en inskränkning av mänskliga fri- och rättigheter. I ljuset av denna inskränkning är det alldeles nödvändigt att det legitima tvångsförfarandet föregås dels av en tydlig och precis rättsreglering, dels av en fThe social indication is a legal mechanism that, in certain cases, serves to justify compulsory care for adult substance abusers, irrespective of their con-sent. Such a coercive measure inherently entails a restriction of human rights and freedoms. In light of this restriction, it is essential that the legitimate compulsory measure be preceded by a clear and precise legal regulation, as well as a

Situated in Geneva, Switzerland, the Large Hadron Collider is largest particle accelerator in the world, and as such, its operation carries with it some of the greatest technical challenges ever faced. Among them are the huge demands put on data storage capacity by experiments in particle physics, both in terms of rate and volume of data. Several systems are employed to manage and reduce the flow

Surrogatmoderskap är inte tillåtet inom svensk hälso- och sjukvård. Samtidigt finns det inget direkt förbud mot surrogatarrangemang i svensk rätt. Uppsatsen belyser det rättsliga vakuum som uppstår när svenskar ingår surrogatarrangemang utomlands och därefter återvänder till Sverige med barn som saknar klart fastställda föräldrar enligt svensk rätt. I centrum för framställningen står principen om Surrogacy is not permitted within Swedish healthcare services. However, there is no explicit prohibition against surrogacy arrangements under Swedish law. This thesis highlights the legal vacuum that arises when Swedish citizens engage in surrogacy arrangements abroad and subsequently return to Sweden with children whose legal parentage is not clearly established under Swedish law. The core of the

Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) communicate with one another using an intricate language made up of sequences of clicks. Recent studies have begun to dig deeper into the structure and content of these vocalisations in an effort to detect and extract significant patterns and features. Whether or not the results of such research will eventually allow us to translate sperm whale speech into som

Hot-carrier solar cells are envisioned to utilize energy filtering to extract power from photogenerated electron-hole pairs before they thermalize with the lattice, and thus potentially offer higher power conversion efficiency compared to conventional, single absorber solar cells. The efficiency of hot-carrier solar cells can be expected to strongly depend on the details of the energy filtering pr

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a multifactorial movement disorder characterized by progressive neurodegeneration. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have nominated over fifteen distinct loci associated with risk of PD, however the biological mechanisms by which these loci influence disease risk are mostly unknown. GWAS are only the first step in the identification of disease genes: the specific c

Summary: The Kiruna ore is situated in northernmost Sweden, and it is one of the largest iron ore deposits that is known in the whole world. Small amounts of cobalt occur in the ore. This paper is devoted to the study of the distribution of cobalt in the Kiruna ore. Results from studies under the polarizing microscope in both transmitted and reflected light in addition to chemical wholerock analys

Popular Abstract in Swedish Prosodi definieras som talets rytmiska, dynamiska och melodiska egenskaper (Bruce, 1998). Till de prosodiska dragen hör längd (kvantitet), betoning (tryck- och ordaccent), ton, satsmelodi (intonation) och gränser (tomrum i talvågen). Dessa drag används i kommunikativt syfte för att särskilja betydelser hos ord och orddelar, för att framhäva och gruppera delar av talet oThe aim of this thesis was to explore prosodic problems in Swedish children with language impairment (LI). In the first study, 29 children with LI participated. They were assessed with an assessment procedure for prosody at the word, phrase and discourse levels, developed within this thesis. The results showed that 41% of the children had prosodic problems to some extent. In addition, reliability

Although, today, jus cogens is a recognized element of international law and international legal discourse alike, many issues of vital importance to a well-functioning jus cogens regime remain unsettled. The current debate centers on the following six questions: (1) What is the source of jus cogens obligations? (2) What is the role of consent in the creation and modification of jus cogens norms? (

Purpose: A multifunctional diet (MFD) targeting subclinical inflammation was developed as a tool to decrease risk factors for cardiometabolic disease in healthy “at-risk” individuals (BMI 25–33 kg/m2). MFD contains several components that are degraded in the colon by the microbiota, such as dietary fibers from rye, barley, oats and berries. It also contains soy beans, oily fish and plant stanols.

This paper presents results from a project on the experiences of Palestinian refugee youth in Lebanon, taking part in NGO programs for facilitating university education. To what extent may such informal educational projects be instrumental in circumventing and counteracting social exclusion? And how do such initiatives interrelate with constructions of senses of “Palestinianess” among their young
