Preterm birth is a leading cause for birth complications and neonatal mortality in the world. It remains difficult to predict whether a preterm birth will occur, which hinders the possible use of prevention treatments. This thesis investigates the use of machine learning models in the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth. In addition, possible heterogeneous performance of these models among dif
I svensk straffprocessrätt har omedelbarhetsprincipen haft stor betydelse sedan rättegångsbalken infördes år 1948. Den innebär att domstolen bara ska döma över det som har framkommit under huvudförhandlingen. Domstolen har inte innan huvudförhandlingen läst polisens utredning, utan parter och vittnen ska komma till domstolen och lämna sin berättelse direkt inför rätten. Den 1 januari 2022 infördeIn Swedish criminal procedure law, the principle of immediateness has been of great significance since the code of judicial procedure came into effect in 1948. This implies that the court should only judge and present verdicts based on what has appeared during the main hearing. Hence, the court will not have read the pre-trial investigation before the main hearing. Instead, the implicated parties
Gängkriminaliteten har under det senaste decenniet ökat i Sverige och hårdare tag har efterfrågats. Tidöavtalet anger att det är av högsta vikt att bekämpa gängkriminaliteten i Sverige och i början på 2023 lämnade regeringen in en proposition till riksdagen som bland annat föreslog straffskärpningar för vissa straffskalor för brottstyper som är vanliga inom kriminella nätverk. Enligt propositionenThe past decade has witnessed a rise in gang-related violence and crime in Sweden, which has caused a debate prompting calls for more stringent measures. In early 2023, the government submitted a proposition to the parliament which included proposals for stricter penalties för certain crime categories commonly associated with criminal networks. According to the proposition, increased penalty scale
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
Phase behavior and structural features were investigated for "complex salts", consisting of the cationic hexadecyltrimethylammonium (CTA) surfactant with polyacrylate (PA(n), n = 30 or 6000) counterions, mixed with water and different n-alcohols (ethanol, butanol, hexanol, octanol, and decanol). The liquid crystalline structures formed were identified by small-angle X-ray scattering measurements,
The inclusive transverse momentum (p(T)) distributions of primary charged particles are measured in the pseudo-rapidity range vertical bar eta vertical bar <0.8 as a function of event centrality in Pb-Pb collisions at root S-NN = 2.76 TeV with ALICE at the LHC. The data are presented in the p(T) range 0.15 < p(T) <50 GeV/c for nine centrality intervals from 70-80% to 0-5%. The results in Pb-Pb are
The surface emissions trap, an adsorption cloth developed for reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds and particulate matter from surfaces while allowing evaporation of moisture, was used to improve the indoor air quality of a school building with elevated air concentrations of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol. An improvement of the perceived air quality was noticed a few days after the device had been
Popular Abstract in Swedish None.This thesis presents numerical investigations and simulations of fixed bed combustion of wood, models for predicting thermal radiative properties of particles and gases related to the combustion of wood, and a review of heat load calculations in gas turbines. All subjects have a common factor in thermal radiation. One 2D and one 3D model were considered for the fixed bed combustion. The introducto
Sammanfattning Det immaterialrättsliga ersättningssystemet är förmodligen mer aktuellt än någonsin. Ett ökat internationellt fokus och de förändringar som bland annat IPRED-direktivet medfört är en del i detta. Dessutom har den tekniska utvecklingen under en period varit stor, sammantaget innebär detta att frågan om ersättning för immaterialrättsintrång är mycket angelägen. Immateriella rättighetSummary The sanctioning of infringements into intellectual properties is a question of severe relevance. Technical development, globalization and legal standpoints such as the Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive has made the topic of this paper a much debated one. The value of intellectual properties can be immense. In fact there are quite a few cases where the most valued assets
Det straffrättsliga systemet präglas idag av en nyklassisk kriminalpolitik vilken betonar handlingen, handlingens konsekvenser, skulden och brottets svårhet. Dessa faktorer bestämmer straffvärdet vilket medför att de straffrättsliga principerna om bl.a. proportionalitet, förutsebarhet och konsekvens upprätthålls. Straffvärdet som sådant utgör nämligen grunden för påföljdsvalet. Men det finns ytterThe criminal justice system currently emphasizes the action, the consequences of the action, the liability and the gravity of the offense. These factors determine the penalty value, which means that the criminal justice principles such as proportionality, predictability and consistency is maintained. The penalty value as such constitutes the basis when deciding on a suitable penalty. But there are
This thesis examines the independence of the UN treaty bodies, both in its entirety and the autonomy of the individual treaty body members. Since independence is very difficult to measure empirically, this paper uses the theoretical framework of Principal-Trustee theory as a tool by which the independence can be understood. This instrument allows us to examine the independence of the treaty body s
One of the basic principles of Swedish law is that everyone is entitled to have his/her claims determined by a court and that the judgment should be given after a hearing. The main rule is that the plaintiff can claim whatever he/she wants, even if it seems absurd. This is a right also given by the European Convention of the human rights article 6:1, which says that everyone is entitled to a publi
Denna uppsats undersöker hur processens ram fastställs vid avtalstolkning i dispositiva tvistemål. Syftet är att klargöra vilka delar av en avtalstolkning som domstolen ansvarar för att utreda och vilka delar som är beroende av parternas dispositioner. Uppsatsen bygger på en rättsdogmatisk metod för att utröna den gällande rätten och svaren på uppsatsens frågeställningar. Uppsatsen besvarar följanThis thesis examines how the scope of the procedure is determined in a case concerning contract interpretation within civil disputes capable of settlement. The purpose is to clarify which aspects of contract interpretation fall under the court's responsibility to investigate and which aspects depend on the parties' disposition. The thesis adopts a legal dogmatic method to determine the ans

The study is built around five themes found in the essays purpose. El
Hedersrelaterat våld är för svenskt vidkommande inte längre ett främmande begrepp eller fenomen. Inte desto mindre är ämnet politiskt laddat och debatten om hedersrelaterat våld är fortfarande högaktuell. Inte minst på det straffrättsliga området gör sig problematiken gällande och det tycks råda en oklarhet kring vilken betydelse heder bör ha i rättsliga sammanhang. Hedersrelaterat våld är ett kViolence in the name of honour is no longer an unknown concept or phenomenon in the Swedish society. Nevertheless, the issue is subject of an ongoing political debate. The problematic aspects of violence in the name of honour are evident within the criminal justice system and there appears to be inherent uncertainties regarding the role of honour in the legal context. Violence in the name of hon
In the spring of 2015, five young feminist activists were arrested by the Chinese police for allegedly ‘causing trouble’, which resulted in global attention aimed at this new wave of feminist movement. Youth feminist activism have made their voice heard in China through numerous actions for gender equality since 2012. Not much is known about the new feminist movements and the limited work that exi
