Svensk domstol har flera gånger ställts inför frågor som rör den islamiska morgongåvan mahr. Högsta domstolen (HD) meddelande två domar som rör rättsinstitutet 2017, NJA 2017 N 6 och NJA 2017 s. 168. Tidigare avgöranden från högsta instans avseende mahr finns inte. Från hovrätterna finns två publicerade avgöranden, RH 1993:66 och RH 2005:116. I avgörandena kvalificeras mahr på två skilda sätt. FSwedish courts have several times faced difficulties arising around the Islamic dower, mahr. The Supreme court settled two cases concerning the legal construction in 2017, NJA 2017 N 6 and NJA 2017 p. 168. The matter had not until then been tried by the Supreme court. There are two preceding rulings from the Courts of Appeal, RH 1993:66 and RH 2005:116. In these decisions, mahr was qualified in tw

Increasing climate change is causing a rise in natural disasters. One of the most common natural disasters in Sweden is flooding. Vulnerability is increasing due to urbanization and the removal of green spaces in Swedish cities. In the acute phase of a flooding, the municipal Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) are generally first to respond. In this thesis, the FRS’ management of flooding is reviewed

Beskattning är en central fråga för många företag. För att uppnå en jämnare företagsbeskattning över tid finns det möjligheter för företag att spara under-skott och genomföra underskottsavdrag vid ett senare tillfälle. Det saknas tidsbegränsningar för hur länge ett underskott kan vara ackumulerat vid oför-ändrad ägarstruktur. Om det däremot sker en ägarförändring kan den så kal-lade beloppsspärrenTaxation is a central issue for many businesses. To even out corporate tax payments, it is possible for companies to carry forward losses and make loss deductions in later financial periods. There is no time constraint on how long such a deficit can accumulate if the ownership structure remains unchanged. However, if there is a change in the ownership structure a threshold may be activated and, if

Idag finns ett stort antal företag som tillhandahåller digitala databaser med söktjänster där användare enkelt kan söka på personuppgifter som namn, adress eller personnummer och få fram omfattande information om svenska invånare. Uppgifter om civilstånd, bolagsinnehav, fastigheter samt om personen ifråga förekommer i tvistemål eller brottmålsdomar ingår bland sökresultaten. Företagen stödjer sig Today, many Swedish companies provide databases which function as search registers where users easily can search for personal data such as name, ad-dress or social security number and obtain comprehensive information on Swedish residents. Information on marital status, company ownership, real estates as well as whether the person in question is involved in civil or criminal cases are included in t

Korruption utgör ett allvarligt hot mot rättssäkerhet, ekonomisk utveckling och förtroendet för offentliga institutioner. Samtidigt är skiljeförfarandet en vanlig tvistlösningsmetod inom de branscher som är mest exponerade för korruption. Mutor och korruption har stått i centrum i flera uppmärksammade skiljeförfaranden, vilket väcker frågor om sådana tvister överhuvudtaget lämpar sig för prövning Corruption poses a serious threat to the rule of law, economic development and public trust in government institutions. At the same time, arbitration is a common method of commercial dispute resolution in the business sectors most exposed to corruption. Bribery and corruption have been central issues in several high-profile arbitration proceedings, raising concerns as to whether such disputes are

B-cell progenitor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) is the most common childhood malignancy and is driven by multiple genetic alterations that cause maturation arrest and accumulation of abnormal progenitor B cells. Current treatment protocols with chemotherapy have led to favorable outcomes but are associated with significant toxicity and risk of side effects, highlighting the necessity for

The use of material extrusion (MEX) has increased rapidly due to the affordability of 3D printers. This has led to a growing demand for improved print quality, high fidelity, strength, or fast print times. In this study, a non-planar approach for better surface quality is investigated. The hardware of a 3-axis MEX printer was developed together with testing new software for non-planar slicing. The

Alla dör, men våra upplevelser av livets slut ser olika ut beroende på hur vårt liv och våra relationer sett ut. Denna avhandling undersöker hur genus, ålder och relationer påverkar människors erfarenheter och möjligheter under livets slutskede. I en tid då såväl hälso- och sjukvårdssystemen som informellt vård- och omsorgsgivande är satta under press är det extra viktigt att utveckla kunskap om hThe way that we die and care for the dying today is changing, related to extended life expectancy, neoliberalization, as well as shifting caring roles in relation to gender. In a time of “care crisis”, both formal and informal care resources are under duress, making the question of how to provide “a good death” complex and contested in new ways. Scholars in public health have posited a health prom

Plant production systems worldwide are struggling to meet the diverse and increasing needs of humankind while also facing challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss. This, combined with the desirable transition from the use of conventional pesticides to more sustainable plant protection solutions, has led to an urgent, and increasing, need for lowrisk plant protection products (PPPs)

Cognitive control is a skill used to control one’s own behaviour to reach a goal. We compared this skill across archosaurs by using the distraction task on American alligators, emus, chickens, and common ravens. We investigated whether the animals would still find a food reward hidden behind one of two identical opaque barriers after picking up a food distraction. Results show that all species can

Aims Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, a T cell subset that is CD1d-restricted and expresses a semi-invariant T cell receptor, have been proposed to contribute to dyslipidaemia-driven cardiovascular disease due to their ability to specifically recognize lipid antigens. Studies in mice have attributed pro-atherogenic properties to iNKT cells, but studies in humans investigating associations

Background: Early detection of treatment response is important for the management of patients with malignant brain tumors such as glioblastoma to assure good quality of life in relation to therapeutic efficacy. Aim: To investigate whether parametric response mapping (PRM) with diffusion MRI may provide prognostic information at an early stage of standard therapy for glioblastoma. Materials and met

Quantum annealing has shown promise for finding solutions to difficult optimization problems, including protein folding. Recently, we used the D-Wave Advantage quantum annealer to explore the folding problem in a coarse-grained lattice model, the HP model, in which amino acids are classified into two broad groups: hydrophobic (H) and polar (P). Using a set of 22 HP sequences with up to 64 amino ac

In this article, we examine how the death of an author affects the value negotiation surrounding his or her oeuvre. As Barbara Herrnstein Smith has argued, literary value is not a fixed category but rather something that is created and negotiated in relation to various contexts and settings. For a high evaluation of the oeuvre of a given author – or a particular work – to be maintained, this value

This chapter presents life cycle assessment (LCA) and its current and potential use as a tool of governance. LCA is considered as providing governance input in three different dimensions: (1) as results; (2) as a method; and (3) as a mindset. Life cycle approaches are increasingly informing policymaking and legislation, either as an abstract idea such as “the circular economy” or as calculation ru

In 2009, consistent with its objective to support and develop a European research infrastructure, the European Union (EU) created a neworganizational form for research collaborations: the European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). Since then, 21 different ERICs havebeen established in the EU Member States; the largest being the European Spallation Source (ESS).The financing of this ERIC i

We present an adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin discretization for the solution of porous media flow problems. The considered flows are immiscible and incompressible. The adaptive approach implemented allows for refinement/coarsening in both the element size and the polynomial degree. The method is evaluated using homogeneous and heterogeneous test cases.
