Denna uppsats tar sin utgångspunkt i säkerhetsrådets paralys till följd av vetorätten i relation till Rysslands invasion av Ukraina 2022. På flera håll i den internationella debatten hörs kritiska röster angående säkerhetsrådets, och därmed i praktiken hela FN:s, passivitet till följd av säkerhetsrådet oförmåga att agera i enlighet med sin befogenhet enligt framför allt FN-stadgans kapitel sju.

Automatiserad ärendehandläggning är vanligt förekommande inom den offentliga förvaltningen och beräknas öka. Trots att automatiserad ärendehandläggning inte är något nytt rättsligt fenomen är regleringen på området bristfällig. Även grundläggande konstitutionella frågor kopplade till automatiserad ärendehandläggning har blivit eftersatta av lagstiftaren och behöver utredas. Syftet med uppsatsen äAutomated decision-making is common in public administration and is expected to increase. Although automated decision-making is not a new legal phenomenon, the regulation in the area is deficient. Even fundamental constitutional issues linked to automated decision-making have been neglected by the legislator and need to be investigated. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate and analyze auto

Theories on discourse accessibility and givenness suggest that nominal discourse entities vary with regard to how likely they are to act as antecedents to anaphoric expressions. Many factors are thought to affect the accessibility of a nominal entity in the mental model, including its morphosyntactic form and grammatical role. Moreover, previous research has shown that reflexive pronouns can be il

Hur kan Skånes kommuner servera mer närproducerad mat, och göra det hållbart? Det vanligaste hållbarhetsmålet när det kommer till kommunala måltider i Skåne är att öka andelen närproducerad mat, visar denna studie genom en genomgång av policyer. Det är dock inte helt enkelt för kommuner att köpa in närproducerad mat. Det är inte heller självklart att närproducerad mat är hållbar.

As the amount of high dimensional data becomes increasingly accessible and common, the need for reliable methods to combat problems such as overfitting and multicollinearity increases. Models need to be able to manage large data sets where predictor variables often outnumber the amount of observations. In this study the frequentist and Bayesian framework is tested against each other based on three

The increasing dynamism in the market has highlighted the limits of the current regulatory framework to counter potentially anti-competitive mergers. Highly innovation-intensive markets, such as the digital industry, represent a wake-up call given the rise of large tech firms. These have drawn the attention of regulators given the practice of acquiring innovative start-ups with a relevant competit

Psykiatrisk tvångsvård är ett omdiskuterat ämne i samhällsdebatten. Tvångsvården innebär ett frihetsberövande och ett ingripande i individens integritet.

This article takes a cognitive approach to natural concepts. The aim is to introduce criteria that are evaluated with respect to how they support the cognitive economy of humans when using concepts in reasoning and communicating with them. I first present the theory of conceptual spaces as a tool for expressing the criteria. Then I introduce the central idea that natural concepts correspond to con

This paper considers whether short-term variation in exposure to disease early in life, as measured by a variety of mortality rates, has an effect on the height of young adults. Height information for men born in southern Sweden, 1814–1948, and included in the Scanian Economic Demographic Database (SEDD), was obtained from records of medical inspections carried out as part of Sweden’s system of un

In particular, the responsibility system is not shaped by the corrective justice rationale tha

INTRODUCTION: An increasing number of sub-Saharan African countries are implementing national health insurance schemes (NHISs) to support the aspiration of universal health coverage (UHC).

CP, which can affect all age groups, is associated with numerous, often interdisciplinary medical conditions. It needs a precise diagnostic work-up to identify causes an
