Litteraturstudien visar att de tabellerade värdena på avrinningskoefficienten är framtagna genom en undersökning där ett formulär sändes ut till privata och offentliga kontor i USA där de angav vilka värden på avrinningskoefficienten de brukar använda. Resultatet är prIn order to increase the knowledge regarding how the runoff coefficient varies with increased rainfall intensity, a literature study and calculations in Excel were conducted.

År 2025 har Sverige som mål att vara det bästa landet i världen på att utnyttja möjligheterna med digitalisering av vården. Ett sätt att digitalisera sjukvården är genom användningen av uppkopplade hälsoenheter och patient-insamlad hälsodata. Än så länge har forskningen fokuserat på användningsområden för kroniker, och där är man eniga i de stora fördelarna. Däremot är användningsområden och fördeBy the year of 2025, Sweden aims to be the best country in the world at using the opportunities offered by digitalization in healthcare.

Maritima avgränsningstvister kräver uppmärksamhet- och hänsynstagande till, i varje enskilt fall, unika omständigheter. För att möta dessa krav krävs precisa och rättvisa bedömningar av ICJ för att upprätthålla rättssäkerheten. Resultatet av en ny havsgräns, vare sig det gäller uppdelning av naturresurser eller kust-sträcka, kan ha enorma effekter på de påverkade staterna. Det legala ramverket ICJMaritime delimitation disputes demand attention to and evaluation of a substantial amount of, in every different case, unique circumstances. Meeting this demand calls for precise and equitable judgements by the ICJ to uphold legal order. The results from a new maritime border being drawn, whether it be partitioning of natural resources or a certain coastal projection, can have tremendous effects o

Sveriges könstillhörighetslag ska enligt dess förarbeten bestå av två skilda delar av en process om könserkännande, men gör i praktiken inte det. Det görs en gemensam ansökan för att få tillstånd till både ändring av könsregistrering i folkbokföringen (ofta kallat det juridiska könet) och viss medicinsk könsbekräftande vård. För att motivera en medicinsk utredning innan båda dessa åtgärder användsAccording to its preparatory work, Sweden's law on gender recognition shall consist of two separate parts in the process of gender recognition, but in practice does not. A joint application is made for permission to change the gender registration in the population register (often called the legal gender) and to certain medical gender-confirming care. The same argument is used to justify a medi
Bevisvärdering i brottmål utgörs av en intresseavvägning mellan två grundläggande men till viss del motstående intressen om å ena sidan en effektiv brottsbekämpning och alla människors rätt till skydd under lagen, och å andra sidan det starka kravet på rättssäkerhet för personer som är anklagade för brott. Bevisvärderingen vid våldtäktsbrott är ofta föremål för svåra bedömningar och dessa målThe process of evaluation of evidence in criminal cases is based on a complex conflict of interests, with on one hand the interest of efficient prosecution and all individuals’ equal right to protection under the law, and on the other hand the security of a just trial and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. The courts’ processes of evaluation of evidence in cases of rape have bee
