Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and the most common cause for disability among the adult population in Sweden, due in part to the fact that many patients do not arrive at the hospital in time for treatment. A system that could detect unilateral arm weakness based on arm movement, a common symptom of stroke, is therefore desirable. In recent years there has been rapid development in th
Rättstillämpare ställs ofta inför juridiska frågor, problem och bedömningar och behöver lösa dessa även när det inte finns uttryckliga och specificerade lagbestämmelser att tillgå. Rättstillämpare förlitar sig på rättsprinciper för att tolka vaga och otydliga lagbestämmelser. Till skillnad från rättsregler är inte ursprunget till rättsprinciper uppenbar. De är ofta inte befästa genom lag och medföJudges and authorities are often faced with legal issues, problems and assessments and need to resolve these even when there are no explicit and specified legal rules available. They then rely on legal principles to interpret vague and unclear legal rules. Unlike legal rules, the origin of legal principles is not obvious. They are often not consolidated by law and therefore entail an unpredictabil
Skiljeförfarandet är och har länge varit en populär alternativ tvistlösningsmetod. Detta gäller i synnerhet i internationella kommersiella tvister där parterna önskar ett neutralt förfarande utan koppling till endera parts nationella domstolar. Skiljeförfarandet har dock på senare tid börjat kritiseras för att ofta resultera i långdragna och kostsamma processer för parterna. Mot bakgrund av denna Arbitration is, and has been for long, a popular alternative dispute resolution. This is particularly true for international commercial disputes where the parties wish to have their case tried in a neutral setting. However, arbitration has in recent times received a lot of criticism for being slow and costly. In light of this criticism a new soft law-tool was presented in 2018 called the Rules on

This thesis investigates the effect of tissue impregnation with hypertonic sol
Runtom i världen arbetar människorättsorganisationer för att fler ska åtnjuta sina mänskliga rättigheter. Att aktivitet resulterar i långsiktig förändring är av intresse dels för organisationen ifråga men även för finansiärer och målgrupper. Att mäta effekt av insatser har dock visat sig vara svårt. Mot bakgrund av det är syftet med uppsatsen att undersöka hur tre organisationer (Amnesty InternatiThroughout the world, human rights organizations are constantly working to ensure more and more people can utilize their inherent human rights.

Under sommaren 2019 uppmanades de svenska fackliga organisationerna att utlysa en strejk för klimatet. Klimatstrejken skulle innebära en strejk i politiskt syfte, vilket därmed nekades av centralorganisationerna. Diskussionen om fackförbunden borde utlyst strejk samt om de då hade haft rättsligt stöd, gjorde frågan om politisk strejk högaktuell. Denna uppsats utreder de rättsliga ramarna för polDuring the summer of 2019 the Swedish trade unions were requested to announce a strike for the climate crisis. A strike for the climate would have meant a strike for political purposes, and therefore the trade unions abstained. The discussion on whether the trade unions should have announced a strike, and if they would have had the legal right to do so, made the question about political strike in
