I juli 2023 tillsatte regeringen en utredning i syfte att genomföra en övergri- pande översyn av straffskalorna samt lägga fram förslag till ett reformerat och mer rättvist påföljdssystem. Regeringen framhåller i direktivet att straffsyste- met bör uttrycka en tydligare klandervärdering av brottsliga gärningar för att undvika att brottsoffer upplever rättsprocessen som ytterligare en kränkning. DeIn July 2023, the Swedish government appointed an inquiry with the purpose of conducting a comprehensive review of the penalty scales and presenting proposals for a reformed and fairer penalty system. The government empha- sizes in the directive that the penal system should express a clearer condem- nation of the blameworthiness of criminal acts in order to avoid that victims experience the legal

This paper is a comparative study of different approaches to using a Discrete Time Micro-structure model. By using the three filtering techniques Extended Kalman, Unscented Kalman and Bootstrap Particle, the hidden variables; excess demand and market liquidity, were estimated and used in an asset allocation strategy that invested in the asset when the excess demand as estimated as positive, due to

Title: Price Premium FMCG products - An exploratory study of the underlying factors why consumers would be willing to pay more Date of seminar: 5th June, 2018 Course: BUSN39 Degree project in Global Marketing Authors: Tanvir Ahmed Shuvo & Mentor Krasniqi Supervisor: Burak Tunca Keywords: FMCG, Price Premium, Consumption, Consumer behavior, Consumer culture, Quality, Perceived Value, Conspicuou

In 2014 Salters et. al. introduced the concept of an UV-emitting wallpaper. By using UVC LEDs, a completely clean ship hull surface can be achieved without polluting the marine environment with biocides, normally associated with antifouling paints. A larger hull surface area could be illuminated by a single LED if the LED light is used efficiently. Exactly how the light exits the wallpaper materia

Wetlands are valuable ecosystems, and assets for human life, that must be regularly monitored, starting with accurately mapping their location and extent. However, an updated national inventory of wetlands is needed. The availability of multi-source data, and advanced machine learning algorithms in Google Earth Engine (GEE) offers excellent opportunities to map wetlands on a country-wide scale. Th

In 2011, the UN published a framework called the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) and it has been viewed as a first of its kind, by being a global standard of principles that aims to prevent and address risks of human rights violations concerning corporate activities. The framework was ratified by all UN member states and received support from other non-state a

This thesis aims to examine the mechanisms behind the psychiatric diagnosis resignation syndrome and why and/or how it emerged in Sweden in the early 2000s. In addition to this the thesis also aspires to explore the reasons behind why the diagnosis has fallen victim to such a large amount of criticism and suspicion. Through a literature study empirical data, consisting of primarily academic and sc

This master’s thesis aims to illuminate how the textile cultural heritage such as textiles and the documentation about textiles is currently preserved in archives. This is a field of study that is currently absent in the research of archival science and research in general. Three archives with material connected to textile cultural heritage were interviewed for this study. To answer how textile cu

It is a well-recognized fact that a city will continue to grow whether or not it is desirable. Growth is not something that can be stopped, only contained and influenced. In that way, there is a need for new concepts and approaches to urban space planning and this could be in the form of vertical cities. The tall building is indeed a vertical progression of a horizontal city and should be consid

I januari 2008 trädde två nya lagar ikraft i Sverige. Lagen (2007:978) om hemlig rumsavlyssning gav de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna rätten att använda en ny metod, rumsavlyssning för att utreda redan begångna brott och lagen (2007:979) om åtgärder för att förhindra vissa särskilt allvarliga brott introducerade en möjlighet för myndigheterna att använda hemliga tvångsmedel som teleavlyssning, telIn January 2008 two new legislations entered into force in Sweden. The law (2007:978) on bugging gave the crime fighting authorities the right to use a new method, bugging, to investigate already committed crimes and the law (2007:979) on measures to prevent particularly serious crimes introduced a possibility for the authorities to use secret surveillance as telephone tapping, wire monitoring, fi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Kardiovaskulär sjukdom (CVD) är ett i vårt samhälle växande problem där allt fler insjuknar i akuta hjärtinfarkter, stroke eller hjärtsvikt. Överlevnaden efter insjuknandet har förbättrats med åren med hjälp av nya mediciner och invasiva ingrepp såsom stentning av kranskärlen vid svår kärlkramp och direkt i det akuta skedet vid vissa tThis thesis examines the relationship between measures of renal function and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with hypertension (the NORDIL study) and in the healthy population (Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, MDC) and whether antihypertensive treatment response and the risk of CVD is affected by genetic variation of a regulator of the renal amiloroide sensitive sodium channel (NORDIL). In st

Extensive measurements of soil surface (including vegetation cover) CO2 efflux were carried out on 80 positions at four different forest sites (Sweden, Germany, Czech Republic and Italy) using a closed dynamic chamber technique. The period of measurement was 4-5 consecutive days per site. Two approaches were used to analyze the measured data, the Q(10) parameter and the Arrhenius relationship. Bas

The thesis is concerning the VAT treatment of small undertakings in the EU. Both analytic and descriptive writing methods are used to achieve its aim. VAT requires higher compliance costs compared with other taxes. However, the fact that the compliance burden of VAT is highly regressive as size decreases necessitates the special treatment SMEs. In line with this, the current VAT Directive also ex

In order to analyze how the concept of elder abuse was constructed within the narrative of a newspaper article series, Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA) was applied to 175 newspaper articles following the Carema Care elder abuse case. The articles used for the study were published by DN.se, the online version of the Swedish morning newspaper Dagens Nyheter, between 2011-10-11 and 2012-10-11. Th

Background Increased postoperative cardiac troponin (cTn) independently predicts short-term mortality. Previous studies suggest that preoperative cTn also predicts major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and mortality after noncardiac surgery. The value of preoperative and perioperative changes in cTn as a prognostic tool for adverse outcomes has been sparsely investigated. Methods and findings

BACKGROUND: Recipient age and donor age are well-known prognostic factors in adult heart transplantation. However, the association between donor age and recipient age and their interaction and short- and long-term mortality is unknown. METHODS: We studied 64,354 heart transplants to adult recipients between 1988 and 2013 in the ISHLT Registry. Donor age and recipient age were analyzed as continuou

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) fueled by hydrogen are considered to be most suitable for automotive applications owing to their fast dynamics and high power densities. However, the performances are limited primarily by processes in PEMFCs appeared in the catalyst layers (CLs), which highly dependon themicroscopic structure-related properties.TheCLs at both the anode and cathode h

Background: Breakthroughs in the treatment of preterm birth approximately 40 years ago have enabled a generation of preterm survivors to now reach mid-adulthood. Understanding their health sequelae is essential for guiding their long-term care. We did a study to examine preterm birth in relation to mortality into mid-adulthood. Methods: A national cohort study was done of all 4 296 814 singleton l

AIMS: The epidemiological association between diabetes and cardiovascular disease is well established, but the pathophysiological link is complex and multifactorial. We investigated seven proteins, previously linked to incident diabetes mellitus, and their association with cardiovascular disease and mortality.METHODS AND RESULTS: Plasma samples from 1713 individuals from the Swedish population-bas
