Den 27 april 2022 röstade riksdagen ja till att införa ett nytt brott i Brottsbalken, hedersförtryck; detta som ett led i att bekämpa hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck med kraft. Hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck kan föras tillbaka på kollektivt betingade hedersnormer, på grund av vilka individer riskerar att bestraffas om normerna ifråga inte efterlevs. Den springande punkten är kontextuella idéeOn the 27th of April 2022, the Swedish parliament voted in favour of introducing a new criminal offence in The Swedish Penal Code, called ‘honour-related oppression’ (sw. hedersförtryck). This action was taken as a part of a larger initiative to combat honour-related violence and oppression. Honour-related violence and oppression can be traced back to collectively conditioned honour norms, in whic

Den ökande globala temperaturen och dess förödande irreversibla effekter på jordens ekosystem är en av mänsklighetens största utmaningar. Den största bidragande faktorn till temperaturökningen är våra ökande utsläpp av växthusgaser, såsom koldioxid, och andra föroreningar. Metrologiska världsorganisationen har estimerat att vi kommer accelerera förbi en temperaturökning på 3 °C år 2100, om vi fortGlobal levels of carbon emissions are constantly rising causing irreversible damages to ecosystems. The heavy transport sector and the industrial sector are responsible for large amounts of the emissions on a yearly basis. Therefore, Power-to-X is presented as an alternative pathway for the production of industry standard chemical, in view of a green transition towards decarbonising emission-heavy

Den svenska rättsstaten står inför allvarliga prövningar. Det grova våldet till följd av skjutvapen har ökat markant i Sverige, och risken för tredje man att drabbad av skjutningar och detonationer på offentlig plats har ökat. Samtidigt som våldet även blivit mer hänsynslöst och likgiltigt. Antalet brott inom denna kategori ökar, men uppklaringsandelen är låg. En förklaring till den dystra statistThe Swedish rule of law is facing serious challenges. The use of firearms resulting in severe injury has increased significantly in Sweden, and the risk of third parties being affected by shootings and detonations in public places has increased. At the same time, the violence has become more ruthless and indifferent. While this type of violence is increasing, law enforcement agencies are at a loss

Deteriorating water quality is a challenge which affects people of the entire world, with a growing population and increased industrialization worldwide. The problem is especially apparent in many developing nations where water resource management must be improved to secure a future sustainable supply. This study was undertaken as a bachelor degree within the MFS-program funded by SIDA. The study

Sustainability researchers are facing increasing pressure to improve their scientific communication and to achieve impacts in wider society with their research. Knowledge mobilisation (KMB) is a key component of both challenges, as it relates to efforts undertaken by researchers to achieve impacts with their research. This study seeks to identify some of the KMB practices being undertaken by exper

Outdoor climate has considerable impact on the indoor climate and it is therefore important to adapt the buildings to the climate. This thesis shows how to improve indoor climate in a climate which it is hot, dry in the summer and cold in the winter. My investigative unit is a middle class house in the town Baalbek in Lebanon and the purpose of the study is to come up with proposals on possible so

Background: Several studies have investigated the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and physical activity (PA). However, further research is needed using objective measures of PA in free-living conditions, while also accounting for the time-variant nature of MetS. This study aimed to: (1) investigate the association between wearable device-measured step count and 5-year MetS incidence

Objective: To investigate the association of different aspects of cognitive impairment, depression and anxiety with walking difficulties in daily life in persons with mild PD.Background: Walking difficulties in daily life are common among persons with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and may cause falls and near falls, limitations in activity, restrictions in participation and decrease in quality of life.

BACKGROUND: Neuromuscular exercise is commonly used in knee injury prevention programs and in rehabilitation following knee injury, and can also be used to address functional impairments is middle-aged and older individuals with knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA). CLINICAL QUESTION: What is neuromuscular exercise for OA? Why should clinicians use it? And how? Nine themes of common questions from exe

Abstract The main influences on growing conditions in pastures and hayfields are grazing and mowing, which regulate the species struggle for space and resources. If the management ceases, this will contribute to a change of the vegetation. A succession starts where the plant cover gradually will change according to a specific pattern. After some time a few competitive species, previously disfavou

It was not until the 1970's, when the claims that lawyers profession fell within the exception of official authority (Article 45 EC) were defeated in the Reyners judgement and the lawyer's profession was held to be within the scope of freedom of establishment. In 1977, the Community legislator adopted a Legal service directive. The directive applies to the lawyers from any Member State whe

Dead wood is a key element in forest ecosystems and a wide range of organisms are dependent on this substrate for development and reproduction. Saproxylic beetles are important decomposers of dead wood and serve as food for many organisms. Due to the significant forestry-related decrease of dead wood in rural areas, many species of saproxylic beetles are considered threatened. Thus, other spaces h

The pulmonary route has emerged as a promising strategy for delivering protein therapeutics, particularly for patients suffering from respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary infections. This project investigated the effect of operating parameters of a laboratory spray dryer on the characteristics of powders composed of Bovine Serum Albumin

Sharks are an ecologically important group of fishes important to maintaining ecosystem structure and function, yet the additive effects of climate change and anthropogenic activities threaten their survival. Northwestern Atlantic populations of shortfin mako sharks and white sharks are considered threatened species, with populations in decline since the 1950s. Previous conservation efforts have a

BACKGROUND: Brief Admission by self-referral (BA) was implemented in 2018 in Swedish child and adolescent psychiatric (CAP) inpatient care. This intervention empowers adolescents to self-admit at their own request for brief periods to prevent self-harm and suicidal crisis. As BA enhances healthcare user autonomy, it is a timely intervention to consider with the emerging human rights discourse and

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a versatile bio-based platform chemical that can substitute fossil-derived intermediates in polymers, solvents, and fuels, thereby contributing to a fossil-free chemical industry. While first-generation feedstocks such as high-fructose corn syrup have been widely studied, their use raises concerns about competition with food supply. In contrast, second-generation r

Background: The impact of air pollution and road traffic noise on depression remains inconclusive. This study examined long-term residential exposure to air pollutants and road traffic noise in relation to dispensed antidepressant medications. Methods: A cohort study was conducted using the Swedish Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, with the outcome defined as a first dispensed antidepressant (ATC: N06A

HfO2, one of the most common materials in resistive switching devices, can stabilize in a ferroelectric orthorhombic phase, enabling two nonvolatile polarization states via oxygen displacement in the unit cell. Under certain conditions, ferroelectric and resistive switching can coexist, independently addressable, within one device. This study employs operando spectroscopic analysis to elucidate th

Background Suicide is more common among males and in older age, but the understanding of sex-specific and age-specific risk indicators is limited. Objective To describe the sex-specific and age-specific prevalence of 25 suicide risk indicators in the year preceding suicide and estimate their associations with suicide. Methods Register-based population-nested case-control study in Sweden, 2009–2021
