I en komparativ studie undersöktes regleringen av flera former av eutanasi (dödshjälp) och assisterat självmord i Sverige, Nederländerna, Schweiz och Italien. Även Europadomstolens praxis, samt attityder till och förekomst av eutanasi behandlades och resultaten sammanställdes. Bland de jämförda länderna är aktiv eutanasi, dvs. att aktivt förkorta en annans liv, tillåtet endast för nederländska lThe regulation of several types of euthanasia and assisted suicide in Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Italy was examined, as well as case law from the European Court of Human rights, and attitudes towards and occurrence of euthanasia. The results were then analysed. Active euthanasia, i.e. to actively shorten the life of another person, is legal only for Dutch physicians. The physician

Syftet med denna uppsats är att precisera hävningsgrunderna och hävningens rättsverkningar enligt standardavtalen AB 04 och ABT 06. För att kunna besvara de ställda frågorna utgår arbetet från sådan rättsdogmatisk teori och metod som kan sägas utgöra traditionell rättsvetenskap. För kommersiella entreprenadavtal saknas direkt tillämpliga obligationsrättsliga lagregler. Detta innebär att de förhandThe purpose of this study is to clarify the grounds for termination, and the legal consequences of termination, according to the standard agreement system constituted by AB 04 and ABT 06. The study is based on such theory and method which represents traditional jurisprudence. In Sweden commercial construction contracts are not subject to any specific legislative regulation. For lack of formally ap

The purpose of this essay is to shed light upon the ecumenical work that has been done between the Church of Sweden and the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden. The recent years of work have led to a recommendation for a certain degree of fellowship to be established between those churches. This proposal as well as other documents are analysed in the essay from an ecclesio-logical point of view, to

In recent years, heat waves have begun to be perceived as one of the biggest problems due to climate change. The Public Health Agency, which is the national supervisory guidance regarding health effects, has therefore updated its guidelines to ensure that regions and municipalities have sufficient information to carry out inspections in accordance with the Environmental Code. This study focuses

As the population increases, so does the need for residential buildings, offices, schools and preschools. The construction industry accounts for about 20% of Sweden’s greenhouse gas emissions. While buildings become more energy-efficient the focus is shifted from the operational phase to the construction phase. The law on climate declaration is a Swedish law, which holds developers responsible for

The ongoing human impact in form of deforestation, urbanization and intense agriculture is affecting the natural hydrology and our freshwater lakes negatively. Both eutrophication and brownification has seen to increase with the ongoing environmental change which can potentially have large impact on our freshwater ecosystems. Using a mesocosm experiment, this study investigates the individual and

The spread of invasive alien species is one of the five major drivers of biodiversity loss according to IPBES. Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica ) is one of the most difficult invasive species to get rid of in Sweden. Its aggressive way of growth outcompetes native plants and it even alters the soil chemistry around its massive system of underground stems, known as rhizomes. Methods such as h

During the spring of 2020 the world was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic which led to unpredicted and interesting effects in the domestic tourism sector. As a result of travel restrictions and social distancing recommendations there was an increase in visitors to national parks, hiking trails and other recreational areas in Sweden. The amount of visitors to the High Coast trail located in the east of

An increase of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from rivers into coastal waters has been observed in previous studies, leading to an increase in hypoxic zonesin coastal areas when the bioavailable fraction of the DOC is degraded causing harm to ecosystems and negatively affecting ecosystem services vital for society. The first part of this study investigates if constructed wetlands can be used a

The transport sector is responsible for a third of Swedens’ total GHG emissions, where the private cars are a large part of this. Sweden is committed to reducing the emissions from the transport sector with 70 % until the year 2030. Shifting the vehicle fleet to electrical will be one important factor in achieving the goal, but such technical innovation will not be enough. To reach a more sust

The agricultural sector is both affecting and affected by climate change. Future climate is predicted to be warmer and wetter with more weather extremes. This is going to affect the already vulnerable agricultural sector and we need to strengthen our food production and food security. Therefore, agriculture needs to adapt to climate change to prevent negative effects but also to utilize the p

This thesis seeks to determine whether it is possible to strike a regulatory balance between satisfying the interests derived from individuals' right to privacy and states' defence of national security. However, the goal of this work is not to conduct an abstract analysis of the interrelations of these, sometimes conflicting, interests but to find practical solutions to a present issue, th

The production and use of chemicals has grown exponentially over the past 50 years. Although the knowledge of hazards and risks associated with chemicals towards humans and the environment has increased, we know frightenedly little about how dangerous these might become when part of finished products. Companies now need to be more concerned about which chemicals exist in their products. For the co

Increased carbon sequestration in agricultural land is an important measure to reduce global warming. Since the soil is a large carbon sink, a small change in the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks can make a substantial difference to the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere. An increase in SOC improves the soil health and fertility which in turn gives better yields and a more secure food supply

The degradation of ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity occurs at an alarming rate. This results in an imbalance of ecosystem functions, leading to a loss of ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are benefits which humans can derive from ecosystems and their internal processes, thus vital to preserve from a societal perspective. The purpose of this study was to explore the possibilities for

Denna uppsats belyser problematiken med överprövningar som föranleder upphandlande myndigheter att frångå det obligatoriska annonseringskravet genom att direktupphandla samhällsåtaganden på grund av synnerlig brådska. Att en upphandlande myndighet blivit tvungen att direktupphandla ett samhällsåtagande, i syfte att utföra en obligatorisk skyldighet, för att det uppstått brådska på grund av överpröThis thesis highlights the problem of review procedures that lead contracting authorities to waive the mandatory publication of a contract notice by directly procuring public commitments due to extreme urgency. The fact that a contracting authority has been forced to directly procure a public commitment, in order to perform a mandatory duty, in the event of urgency due to a review procedure will n

Recycling reduces the need for new raw materials and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the new waste legislation from the EU and the Swedish government imposes higher recycling requirements on Swedish municipalities. Starting from January 1, 2024, it will be mandatory for all EU member states to separately collect food waste through curbside collection. The Swedish government has also decided

The use of chemicals is increasing. Human health and the environment are exposed to hazardous substances along a lack of knowledge about how these substances actually affect us and our environment. In the homes, the use of chemical cleaning products is widespread. Various products meet many important needs, but could at the same time pose major risks to human health and the environment if not corr

Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (Ehec) and Salmonella can infect humans via food and at worst ocation cause serious illness. Infections caused by Ehec and Salmonella in vegetables are increasingly receiving attention. The ability and jurisdiction that exist within Swedish supervisory and authority work to respond to changes or new situations linked to infections from vegetables, influence Swedens

The concept of “right to repair” has increasingly gained attention during the last few years. What originally started as a movement by consumers frustrated by their inability to repair the products they own, has now evolved politically and led to different types of legislation to promote product repairability and reduce the environmental impact of mass consumption. However, exactly what the right
