Sammanfattning Aktiv eutanasi och assisterat självmord är två frågor som tidvis dyker upp i den allmänna debatten i Sverige. Det är dock få politiker som vill ta i frågan, detta trots att en betydande del av det svenska folket är positivt inställda till att tillåta aktiv eutanasi. Genom åren har ett antal rättsfall berört frågan om aktiv eutanasi men rättsläget över vissa typer av aktiv eutanasi äSummary Active euthanasia and assisted suicide are two issues that from time to time appear in the Swedish public debate. It is however few politicians that want to bring up the issues, in spite of that a considerate part of the Swedish population have positive attitude to legalise active euthanasia. Through the years a number of cases have addressed the issue about active euthanasia but the legal

An uncertainty lies in to which extent the operational standards of KIBS firms translate to their marketing and sal

Sammanfattning I september 2010 trädde en lagändring i kraft som innebar att vårdnadshavare, utöver sitt redan befintliga tillsynsansvar, blev strikt skadeståndsansansvariga för skador som deras barn vållat genom en brottslig handling. Regleringen ska verka preventivt och minska ungdomsbrottsligheten. Syftet med min uppsats har varit att utreda och kritiskt granska det strikta skadeståndsansvar sSummary In September 2010 an amendment of law was made which meant that legal guardians, in addition to their already existing supervisory responsibility, became subject to strict liability for damages caused by their children through a criminal offence. The aim of the regulation is to decrease juvenile delinquency. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and critically analyze the strict li

The purpose of this practical theological master’s thesis is to examine conversation as part of sermon preparation in present day preaching in the Lutheran Church of Sweden. This study combines studies of homiletical literature with qualitative empirical methods, stating that theory and practice informs one another. Through participant observation in Bible study groups and the following Sunday’s s

Studien syftade till att undersöka om eventsegmentering kan utgöra en grund för minnesbaserad tidsbedömning i det episodiska minnet och huruvida objektets semantiska association till kontexten påverkar integrationen av minnet. Eventsegmentering etablerar upplevelsen av en händelse genom att särskilja vad som händer nu från det som hände nyss och bryter därmed ner tidsförlopp till enstaka händelserThe study aimed to investigate whether event segmentation can provide a basis for memory-based time assessment of episodic memory and whether object association to the context affects subsequent memory integration. Event segmentation establishes the experience of an event by distinguishing what is happening now from what just happened and thus breaks down the time-course of an event to include sub

Vegetation indices derived from remotely sensed optical data are commonly used for crop monitoring in precision agriculture, but their information capability can be hindered by the presence of clouds. Consequently, areas with frequent cloud cover like the southwest of Sweden may have limited access to usable optical data. Nonetheless, the addition of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data can provide

I Sverige finns inget direkt förbud mot att bränna religiösa skrifter, vilket det däremot finns i Finland. Att bränna religiösa skrifter är en form av hädelse, och det är en sådan typ av lagstiftning som Finland har. Att häda innebär att kränka Gud eller ett annat religiöst föremål. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hädelselagstiftningens historia i Sverige och Fin-land. FrågeställningarnaIn Sweden, there is no direct prohibition against burning religious scriptures, which however exists in Finland. Burning religious scriptures is a form av blasphemy, and it is this type of legislation Finland has. Blasphemy means insulting God or another religious object. The purpose of this essay is to examine the history of blasphemy legislation in Sweden and Finland. The research questions are

Supernovor är några de kraftfullaste händelserna vi ser bland stjärnor. När stjärnor, mycket mer massiva än vår egen, bränner upp sitt bränsle tynar de inte bara bort, utan exploderar i vad vi kallar en Typ II supernova. På motsatta sidan kan lättare stjärnor i sina sista tillstånd som vita dvärgar fånga upp för mycket massa och explodera som Typ I supernovor. Båda dessa fallen har en stor betydelThe momentum and energy injection from supernovae is one of the main feedback modes, and is therefore key to the understanding of galaxy evolution and star formation. However, due to low resolution, large scale galaxy simulations often have issues with accurately modelling supernovae, and therefore rely on sub-grid models. This is especially true for the injected momentum, where capturing the mome

The financial crisis in the EU has been and still is a very researched topic. Because it affected negatively the assets of many individuals, the demand for academic text explaining the crisis is high. This is why, today there are countless books and articles dealing with the causes of the crisis and offering solutions how to overcome it. In this particular field, economics and law are very interco

After the General Court’s (GC) decision in case T-472/13 H. Lundbeck A/S and Lundbeck Ltd v Commission it seems the concept of potential competition in the context of so-called ‘pay-for-delay’ agreements, or reverse patent settlements, might have been altered; that the bar in order for an undertaking to qualify as a potential competitor might have been lowered. This thesis aims to examine whether

This study aims to investigate the possibility of creating template times for rail works. Furthermore the study identifies a few effects which template times could have on planning of rail works, traffic and economy. Template times are being considered by the Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, for the early stages of planning when there is a need to estimate the time required within t

The aircraft of today use electrical fly-by-wire systems for manoeuvring. These safety-critical distributed systems are called flight control systems and put high requirements on the communication networks that interconnect the parts of the systems. Reliability, predictability, flexibility, low weight and cost are important factors that all need to be taken in to consideration when designing a saf

The transfer price is the price set by two related parties when transferring products, services, etc between the parties. This thesis examines the Comparable Uncontrolled Price (CUP) method, one of the existing methods to price the transactions. The thesis is written from a Canadian perspective but because of the wide acceptance of the arm's length principle as the corner stone of transfer pri

Allvarlig brottslighet som begås inom kriminella nätverk har ökat drastiskt under senare år. Skjutningar och sprängningar har blivit alltmer förekommande och nu diskuteras även finansierandet av skjutvåldet genom narkotika-, smugglings- och ekonomisk brottslighet i politiska debatter. Hur man ska komma till rätta med problemet, med hänsyn till förbättrade tekniska förutsättningar och tystnadskultuSerious crimes committed within criminal networks have increased drastically in recent years. Shootings and explosions are unusually often occurring in Sweden and now the financing of this deadly violence by drug, smuggling and financial crimes is also discussed in political debates. How to effectively deal with the problem, despite improved technology and a culture of silence in criminal gangs, i

This study looks at the change of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) intensity in Rio Park, Madrid, which during the course of the last 20 years has in essence been retransformed from an urban highway into a flourishing green park along the Manzanares river. The deconstruction of the M-30 highway started in 2005, was completely finished in 2015, and canopy growth in the area continued during the followin

This paper is very much inspired by an ongoing process in the Swedish court system. According to Unibet, an online betting company, the Swedish law on lotteries conflicts with EC law. Therefore, Unibet has brought an action against the Swedish state seeking, firstly, a declaration that it has the right, pursuant to Article 49 EC, to promote its gaming and betting services in Sweden and is not prev

Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen Det förbjudna mödraskapet argumenterar jag för att surrogatmödraskap bör tillåtas också i Sverige. Idag är metoden förbjuden. Ett av de bärande argumenten är att en legalisering skulle kunna bidra till att bryta ner flera konservativa föreställningar som idag finns kring kvinnors roll i reproduktonen.Surrogate motherhood, or surrogacy, means that a woman carries a child with the explicit intention not to keep the child after the birth. This reproductive method is illegal according to Swedish legislation. The question at heart of the dissertation is the following: Can a legal prohibition of surrogacy be morally justified? My answer is simple no. Consequently, I work with the thesis that there a

Cell replacement therapy in Parkinson’s disease (PD) still lacks a study addressing the acquisition of electrophysiological properties of human grafted neural stem cells and their relation with the emergence of behavioral recovery after transplantation in the short term. Here we study the electrophysiological and biochemical profiles of two ventral mesencephalic human neural stem cell (NSC) clonal
