This doctoral thesis in computational statistics utilizes both Monte Carlo methods(approximate Bayesian computation and sequential Monte Carlo) and machine­-learning methods (deep learning and normalizing flows) to develop novel algorithms for infer­ence in implicit Bayesian models. Implicit models are those for which calculating the likelihood function is very challenging (and often impossible),

Despite the maturity reached by targeted proteomic strategies, reliable and standardized protocols are urgently needed to enhance reproducibility among different laboratories and analytical platforms, facilitating a more widespread use in biomedical research. To achieve this goal, the use of dimensionless relative retention times (iRT), defined on the basis of peptide standard retention times (RT)

While comparative construal (categorization, analogy and metaphorization) has been the subject of considerable research in linguistics, psychology, and cognitive science, comparatively little attention has been given to its role in emotive and sensory knowledge transfer (Thagard & Shelley 2006: 27). This paper proposes an explanatory framework for comparative construal in the form of a three-d

Handel med så kallade osanna fakturor är ett relativt avancerat upplägg som används i syfte att undvika beskattning. Med begreppet osann faktura avses en faktura som ger sken av att ett avtal ingåtts mellan två parter, vanligtvis om köp av tjänster eller varor, men där avtalet mellan parterna i själva verket avser köp av själva fakturan. Motivet bakom upplägg med osanna fakturor är i regel att minThe trading with so-called untrue invoices is a relatively advanced scheme used in order to avoid taxation. The term untrue invoice refers to an invoice that indicates that an agreement regarding purchase of services or goods has been made between two un-associated parties, when the agreement between the parties in fact relates to the purchase of the invoice itself. The motive behind the usage of

Fast driftställe är ett vedertaget begrepp i inkomstskatterättsliga sammanhang. Begreppet finns definierat i såväl OECDs modellavtal som i den svenska inkomstskattelagen. Definitionen har i stort sett varit oförändrad sedan dess införande. I dagens allt mer globaliserad värld, där multinationella företag bedriver handel såväl inom som över landsgränserna, har begreppets ålderstigna definition meThe Permanent Establishment status is a concept in the income tax law context. The term is defined in the Model Tax Convention of OECD and the Swedish Income Tax Act. The definition has with minor changes remained unchanged since its introduction. In today's increasingly globalized world, where multinational corporations are acting within and across national borders, weaknesses in the current

Styrelsen är underordnad bolagsstämman till följd av aktiebolagets hierarkiska organisationsstruktur. Denna hierarkiska organisationsstruktur i kombination med 8 kap. 41 § andra stycket ABL e contrario innebär att styrelsen har en lydnadsplikt gentemot bolagsstämmans beslut. I framställningen undersöks vilka möjligheter styrelsen har att vägra verkställighet av ett bolagsstämmobeslut enligt aktiebThe board of directors is subordinated to the shareholders’ meeting as a result of limited liability company’s having a hierarchical organisational structure. This hierarchical organisational structure in combination with the provisions in Chapter 8 Section 41 second paragraph in the Swedish Company Act (“SCA”) e contrario means that the board of directors has a duty of obedience to resolutions by

Hemoglobin (Hb) is a protein, composed of a heme prosthetic group with an iron atom in the center of the protoporphyrin ring and the iron is the main component that bind oxygen. Hb was first found in the red blood cells of vertebrates and after in prokaryotes, fungi, plants and animals. In plants, there are three main groups of Hb proteins which are symbiotic, non-symbiotic and truncated. Non-symb

Sverige har länge varit förskonat från korruption av större omfattning, landet brukar i Transparency Internationals årliga rapporter rankas som ett av länderna med minst korruption. Det senaste decenniet har dock flera stora korruptionshärvor i myndigheter och offentlig verksamhet uppmärksammats av media och väckt stort intresse hos allmänheten. Undersökningar som BRÅ publicerat visar att mutor i Sweden has long been spared from the corruption of higher extent, Transparency International's annual reports usually rank the country as one of those with the least corruption. The last decade, however, several major cases of corruption in authorities and the public sector have attracted the attention of the media and great interest among the public. Investigations published by BRÅ show that

Wheat bran is a by-product from the production of wheat flour. Nowadays wheat bran is mostly used as feed for animals, in the food and baking industry or it is simply burned in open air. However, wheat bran could be used in biorefineries for production of value-added products such as bioplastics, biofuels and chemicals as a substitute for fossil feedstocks as petroleum. Since wheat bran is an agri

The widespread consequences of climate change are becoming more and more evident around the world and are raising crucial awareness to world leaders that a sustainable transition is direly needed to mitigate against disastrous climatic events. In Australia, in early 2020, these events took the form of some of the most devastating and largest forest fires the country has ever seen. This devastation

Enligt EU-direktiv måste fler tekniska lösningar introduceras i lantbruket med bakgrund till de ökande miljökrav och ekonomiska påtryckningar i världen. Som svar på detta har redan tekniskt styrda radrensare och styrd besprutning börjat etableras på marknaden. Till skillnad från individuella plantvårdssystem som kamerastyrda radhackor, kan GPS-styrda system identifiera fröpositioner innan uppkomstWith higher demands on farmers to reduce the usage of fertilizers and pes ti cides because of their negative environmental impact, as well as the rising prices of resources required for agriculture, precision agriculture has become a big focus in today’s agriculture research. Individual plant care systems are a big part of precision agriculture, and accurate information about the po si tions of in

En transaktion med en “warehousing”-struktur är en typ av två-stegstransaktion som omfattar flera moment, där säljaren först överlåter målbolaget till en tillfällig köpare som i sin tur överlåter målbolaget till en slutlig köpare. Den tillfälliga köparen används som ett lager för aktierna fram tills den slutliga transaktionen blivit godkänd av Europeiska kommissionen, varefter den slutliga transakA transaction with a warehousing structure is a type of two-step transaction, where the seller first transfers the target company to an interim buyer, who in turn transfers the target company to an ultimate buyer. The interim buyer is used as a ‘warehouse’ for the shares until the ultimate transaction is approved by the European Commission, after which the ultimate transaction can be implemented.

Artificiell intelligens utvecklas snabbt och blir alltmer självständig. Detta framgår av de patentansökningar som nyligen lämnats in för uppfinningar som gjorts av DABUS som är en AI. Enligt rättspraxis angående DABUS uppfinningar kan endast en fysisk person vara uppfinnare i patentlagstiftningens mening. Detta beror på att uppfinnaren måste ha rättskapacitet för att kunna inneha de rättigheterna Artificial intelligence is rapidly advancing and becoming more autonomous. This is highlighted by the recent patent applications filed for inventions made by the AI, DABUS. The case law regarding DABUS’ inventions holds that only a natural person can be an inventor within the meaning of patent law. This is because, to hold rights associated with being identified as the inventor, the inventor needs

Vilka värden som betraktas som viktiga i ett samhälle förändras över tid. Det gäller också i straffrätten. I uppsatsen inringas straffrättsliga värden, med ledning i intressen, som utifrån förarbeten och lagtext framstår som centrala. Ett skyddsintresse som fått en mer framskjuten position under den senare delen av nittonhundratalet är personlig integritet. I detta ligger anspråk på autonomi, frihThe values that are considered important in a society change over time. This also applies to criminal law. The paper identifies values, from interests, in criminal law that appear to be central based on the preparatory work and legal text. One protection interest that gained a more prominent position during the latter part of the twentieth century is personal integrity. This includes claims to aut

Inom den svenska civilprocessrätten kan svaranden välja att antingen medge eller bestrida kärandens yrkande. För det fall kärandens yrkande medges ska den prövande domstolen, i ett dispositivt mål, meddela dom med anledning av medgivandet utan att pröva grunden för yrkandet. Detta följer av dispositionsprincipen, vilken är en grundläggande princip som innebär att rätten inte får meddela dom över mIn Swedish civil procedure, the respondent can choose to either concede or contest the plaintiff's claim. If the plaintiff's claim is conceded, the court must, in a case amenable to out-of-court settlements, give judgment based on the respondent’s concession without examining the grounds for the claim. This follows from the dispositionsprincipen (principle of disposit-ion): a fundamental p

Att återkalla ett permanent uppehållstillstånd är ett mycket ingripande beslut som kan påverka den enskildes trygghet. Av den anledningen ska den en-skildes trygghet och stabilitet alltid beaktas när ett sådant beslut fattas. Konsekvenserna av att återkalla ett permanent uppehållstillstånd kan vara att personen inte längre har rätt att resa in i Sverige utan visum och att personen inte längre är fRevoking a permanent residence permit is a highly intrusive decision that can affect the individual's security. For this reason, the individual's security and stability should always be taken into account when making such a deci-sion. The consequences of revoking a permanent residence permit may in-clude the person no longer having the right to enter Sweden without a visa and no longer bei

In an effort to mitigate global climate change, the REDD+ mechanism (an acronym for ‘Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stock’) continues to be put forward as an attractive carbon sequestration and forest conservation tool.

In recent years the railway has received a lot of negative publicity thanks to the large amount of delay hours that occurs during winter conditions and especially at snowfall. In our railway network, the points are the most targeted problem components were snow and ice cause the most problems. Due to its moving parts and low tolerances for disorder, a few millimeters of gap between the rails is en

Inom ramen av sin recension av Ross’ bok On Law and Justice presenterade Hart mycket framgångsrikt vad han senare skulle bli känd för inom rättsfilosofin - den interna ståndpunkten. I sin kritik av Ross rättsteori hävdade Hart att rättsliga omdömen om giltighet främst skall uppfattas som interna, normativa omdömen och som ett uttryck för acceptans av lagen som en beteendestandard. Han uppfattade iWith his review of Ross’s book On Law and Justice, Hart introduced something for which he later on, would become famous in legal philosophy – the internal point of view. In his criticism of Ross’s legal theory, Hart claimed that legal statements of validity are primarily internal, normative statements, manifesting acceptance of the law as a standard of behaviour. He did not acknowledge the possibi

Solidariskt ansvar är huvudregeln när flera skadevållare gör sig skyldiga till en och samma skada. Solidariskt skadeståndsansvar innebär att skadelidande kan kräva en av skadevållarna på hela skadeståndsbeloppet som om skadevållaren skulle varit ensam ansvarig. Det krävs att de allmänna förutsättningarna för skadeståndsskyldighet är uppfyllda för var och en av skadevållarna. Den som har blivit kräJoint and several liability is the general rule in Swedish law when multiple guilty parties are responsible for one together caused damage. Joint and several liability means that the injured party can claim that just one of tortfeasors is held responsible for the entire amount of the damages like as if the tortfeasor was alone responsible for the whole damage. The general conditions for liability
