Den här uppsatsen syftar till att utreda när och varför en nödvärnsgärning som resulterar i att angriparen dör anses försvarlig respektive oförsvarlig. Detta utreds i de situationer då den som vidtagit nödvärnsgärningen gjort det för att försvara sig mot ett livsfarligt angrepp. Uppsatsen är skriven ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv. Nödvärnsrätten regleras i 24 kap. 1 § BrB och är en rättfärdigan
In many materials it remains a challenge to reveal the nature of magnetic correlations, including antiferromagnetism and spin disorder. Revealing the spin structure in magnetic nanoparticles is further complicated by the large incoherent neutron scattering cross section from water adsorbed at the particle surfaces and by the broadening of diffraction peaks due to the finite crystallite size.

In northern peatlands the thawing of permafrost increasing the active layer depth and changing the hydrology may lead to feedbacks in the climate system through changes in the biogeochemistry of carbon. We are examining this association on the Stordalen peatland complex in subarctic Sweden by analyzing a DEM derived from LiDAR-data and the calculated TWI. The DEM, with a spatial resolution of 1 m,
The Lepidoptera fauna of the Danish island of Anholt is surveyed, and 1160 species are recorded. Anholt is situated in Kattegat 44 km from Denmark and 47 km from Sweden. The history and environment of the island are briefly discussed, with special focus on the flora, and earlier studies of the Lepidopterera fauna of Anholt are dealt with. The present study is in first hand based on material collec
Paleomagnetic data, although undeniably limited, have been used to constrain complex time-varying geomagnetic field models. Here we present four different versions of a time varying geocentric dipole model for the past approximately 9000 years based on a limited selection of sedimentary paleomagnetic data with good spatial coverage. The robustness of the modeling approach is evaluated using modern
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) account for the majority of total morbidity cases in the working-age Swedish population. These disorders are thought to be the reason given for one-third of total certified sick leave requests. In addition to the high cost to society, MSD involve both physical and emotional suffering, pain and financial and social problems for the injured persons. The aim of this st
Purpose: To assess whether grating-based X-ray dark-field imaging can increase the sensitivity of X-ray projection images in the diagnosis of pulmonary emphysema and allow for a more accurate assessment of emphysema distribution. Materials and Methods: Lungs from three mice with pulmonary emphysema and three healthy mice were imaged ex vivo using a laser-driven compact synchrotron X-ray source. Me
We examined the effect of a range of pentobarbital concentrations on 0.5 microM gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-activated channels (10 +/- 1 pS) in inside-out or outside-out patches from rat cultured hippocampal neurons. The conductance increased from 12 +/- 4 to 62 +/- 9 pS as the pentobarbital concentration was raised from 10 to 500 microM and the data could be fitted by a Hill-type equation. At
Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are potent mutagens/carcinogens to which humans are frequently exposed through the consumption of cooked meat and fish food. The effect of normal intake of HCAs and their role in the aetiology of human cancer is unknown. To some extent, limitations of the existing analytical methods in monitoring the low levels of HCAs in biological samples have hindered obtaining conclu
A bed load transport formula for non-cohesive sediment, based on the bed-shear concept of Meyer-Peter and Muller, was developed and validated for steady flows, oscillatory flows, and combined steady and oscillatory flows. The bed load formula introduced in this study was examined using data from experimental and field measurements for a wide range of flows and sediment conditions, as occurring in
Inversion recovery (T-1) and microwave power saturation studies have been performed, between 4 and 25 K, on the EPR signal from the stable tyrosyl radical, Y-D(.), in photosystem II core complex preparations from higher plants. Measurements are reported from the dark stable S-1 and first turnover S-2 states of the photosystem catalytic Mn cluster and in two cryoprotectant regimes; sucrose and ethy
The topic of this thesis is the study of finite volume methods for hyperbolic conservation laws on non-uniform meshes. A high-order hyperbolic reconstruction method is presented. The method is constructed for quadrilateral meshes, since more realistic hyperbolic problems involve more complicated problem domains than the standard rectangular ones. The method is an extension of the well known
The main motivation for this thesis, however not the only one, is the search for models for traffic in telecommunication networks. Traffic characterization and modeling are of great importance in the analysis and dimensioning of communication systems. During the last decades we have experienced an explosive growth of our telecommunication networks. New important properties, both on macroscopic and
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärtats skrifter är en undersökning av brevet som kommunikationsform under 1700-talet. Brevkulturen i 1700-talets Tyskland betraktas som ett av startskotten för vad som brukar kallas den moderna tiden. I denna studie granskas brevkulturens funktion och betydelse för det epistemiska skifte som äger rum under senare hälften av 1700-talet. Undersökningens utgångspunkt ärThis dissertation examines the correspondence of the 18th-century German authors Anna Louisa Karsch and Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim. The main emphasis of the present study is to demonstrate how readings of Karsch's and Gleim's correspondence shed light on epistolary culture. Particular attention is paid to the notion of epistolary culture as a relatively unrestrained ?experimental setting? for bou
Popular Abstract in Swedish ETT PARADIS FÖR ALLA. EPA MELLAN FOLKHEM OCH FÖRFÖRELSE I början av 1930-talet etablerades en ny form av konsumtion i Sverige när Enhetsprisaktibolaget Epa öppnade dörrarna för en hänförd och överväldigad allmänhet. Hörnstenar i Epa-systemet var fasta priser, massproducerade produkter, stora lagerutrymmen och låga leveranskostnader. Varorna var avsedda för en ny bred kA Paradise for All. Epa between the People's Home and Seduction. This dissertation is about the Epa department store chain, which existed in Sweden from 1930 to 1977. For many people, Epa was an arena for meeting modernity. By allowing issues of tradition and modernity, cultural learning processes, class, gender and aesthetics to collide with the Epa phenomenon, a complex picture of the Swedish P
Popular Abstract in Swedish Arbetare i gummiindustrin utsätts för ett stort antal kemikalier med hög giftighet. Tidigare forskning har visat att kemikalierna innebär en fara för hälsan. Gummiarbetarna har tidigare haft en ökad risk att drabbas av olika sjukdomar, t.ex. cancer, hjärtkärlsjukdomar och luftvägsbesvär, jämfört med allmänbefolkningen. Däremot vet man inte exakt vilka ämnen som är farliWorkers in the rubber industry have an increased risk of several diseases, such as airway disease, cancer and probably cardiovascular disease. The exposure is very complex; carbon disulfide (CS2) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) being two of the contaminants. The general aim of this thesis was to find exposure-response relationships usable for risk assessments in the rubber industry. U
Catchment-scale material transport models are today important tools for water and environmental management. However, modelling of material transport is extremely complex due to the physical, chemical and biological processes involved. The complexity calls for spatial distribution and thereby a need for large amounts of input data that generally are not available. Lumped models based on conceptual
Effects on physical workload were quantified when introducing new information technology in air traffic control. Seven female and 7 male air traffic controllers were studied in an old control system, and during simulated-but similar-work in a new, mouse-based system. Postures, movements and muscular load were recorded (inclinometry for head, neck, back and upper arms; goniometry for wrists; elect
Popular Abstract in Swedish Elektrolyter är ämnen som sönderdelas i ett lösningsmedel och därvid ger upphov till positivt och negativt laddade joner. De starka elektrostatiska krafter i lösningen som detta i sin tur orsakar är typiska för elektrolytlösningar. Redan vid små tillsatser av en elektrolyt till ett lösningsmedel kan lösningens egenskaper förändras kraftigt. Lösningar av elektrolyter speA thermodynamic model for electrolyte solutions has been derived for binary and multicomponent solutions up to very high molalities. The model was extensively tested on 163 binary aqueous electrolyte systems up to very high molalities, and the results show that the model represents mean ionic activity coefficients and osmotic coefficients very accurately. The model parameters vary significantly be
This paper presents a novel method for the analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) during exercise stress testing enhanced with respiratory information. The instantaneous frequency and power of the low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) bands of the HRV are estimated by parametric decomposition of the instantaneous autocorrelation function (ACF) as a sum of damped sinusoids. The instantaneous
