Artikel 6 i Europakonventionen för de mänskliga rättigheterna stadgar en rätt till en rättvis rättegång. Ett av de många drag som utmärker en rättvis rättegång är likställdhet mellan parterna. I denna uppsats undersöks innebörden av principen om parternas likställdhet och huruvida den svenska brottmålsprocessen tillgodoser de rättigheter som uppställs i Europa-konventionen. Principen om parternaAccording to article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, everyone charged with a criminal offence is entitled to a fair hearing. One of the many features characteristic of a fair hearing is equality of arms between the parties. In this essay, the meaning of the principle of equality of arms is analysed. It is also investigated if the Swedish criminal procedure is in conformity with the p

This is a study of the murder of the Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme, not as it actually occurred, but rather how it was mediated through representations in the media. The guiding research question is formulated as follows: Can the media representations of the murder of Olof Palme be understood as a case of an emergent trauma process? These representations covers only the first week after the mu

The objective of this study has been to investigate if and how traditional actors and practices are taken into account in contemporary professional social work in Ghana. A ten-week ethnographic field study was conducted in the Department of Social Work at the University of Ghana where the research objective was investigated from a perspective of social work education. Traditional actors refer to e

Purpose – This paper aims to discuss a new tool for requirements gathering in the Web 2.0 era. It seeks to investigate the features that this kind of tool should have in order to be as widely applicable and useful as possible. Further, it aims to explore the extent to which business requirements for enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems can be collected and discussed collaboratively in a worl

A major challenge for a person with diabetes is to adapt insulin dosage regimens and food intake to keep blood glucose within tolerable limits during daily life activities. The early knowledge about the effects of inputs on glycemia would provide the patients with invaluable information for appropriate on-the-spot decision making concerning the management of the disease. Against this background, i

Variable temperature photoemission studies in the literature have revealed the presence of a surface state above the Fermi level on clean Ge(001). We present photoemission and low energy electron diffraction results from Ge(001) obtained between 185 and 760 K. Our measurements show a peak above the Fermi level with a maximum intensity at a sample temperature of around 625 K. At higher temperatures

Coherent tunneling processes of multiple Cooper pairs across a Josephson junction give rise to high harmonics in the current phase relation. In this work, we propose and study Josephson junctions based on semiconductor-superconductor-ferromagnetic insulator heterostructures to engineer nonsinusoidal current-phase relations. The gate-tunability of the charge carriers' density in the semiconductor,

A large outbreak of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) infections occured in southern Sweden during autumn 2002. A matched case-control study was performed and indicated an association between consumption of fermented sausage and EHEC infection (odds ratio 5.4, P<0.002). Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis identified a strain of E. coli O157:H7 in clinical faecal isolates which was i

Tundra soils account for 50% of global stocks of soil organic carbon (SOC), and it is expected that the amplified climate warming in high latitude could cause loss of this SOC through decomposition. Decomposed SOC could become hydrologically accessible, which increase downstream dissolved organic carbon (DOC) export and subsequent carbon release to the atmosphere, constituting a positive feedback

An experimental investigation has been performed where the influence of metal salts on soot formation has been studied. By combining two-dimensional laser-induced incandescence (LII) and elastic light scattering (ELS), two-dimensional information could be obtained on soot properties in the flames. For these studies, seven metal salts (NaCl, MgCl2, AlCl3, KCl, CaCl2, FeCl3 and ZnCl2) were dissolved

A goal of entrepreneurship is to foster innovation through the creation of sustainable, scalable firms through a successful commercialization of their value proposal. Surprisingly there is little research on the key role sales and hence sales knowledge of the founder plays in the survival of an entrepreneurial venture. The purpose of this study is twofold. First, we aim to contribute to the wider

Liksom samhällsmedborgarna behöver förhålla sig till straffrätten, bör också staten behöva förhålla sig till densamma genom att ramar uppställs för när straffrätten kan användas. En sådan ram är att kriminalisering får användas för att förhindra att skada uppkommer på ett skyddsintresse. Detta examensarbete har till syfte att undersöka innebörden av det straffrättsliga skadebegreppet vid kriminalAs much as members of society need to conform their conduct to the penal law, the state should also have to adhere to the penal law, by providing clear guidelines for when such law can be used. Such a guideline is that criminalization may serve to prevent harm to legally-recognized interests. This thesis aims to explore the concept of harm within the deliberations that attach to the criminalizat

Proteiner är kroppens byggstenar och verktyg, som bland annat bygger upp håret på vårt huvud och ser till så att vår matsmältning fungerar, men det är långt ifrån allt. Denna mångfald bland proteinerna har lett till att man börjat använda dem inom en mängd olika områden, dels för att effektivisera gamla metoder, men också till helt nya produkter. För att producera proteiner som har förmågan att reThe use of fusion proteins has become prevalent within biotechnical applications, offering a method of supplementing a protein with physical or chemical properties inherent to multiple full size proteins or peptides. The thesis work presented in this report was designed to attempt such a fusion, between a recombinant human amelogenin and a fungal cellulose binding domain peptide. The extracellular

This report presents measuring and identifications of the process in papermachine PM4 Gruvöns Bruk, Grums.
Our intention was, except the measuring itself, to improve, if possible, the system model now used for process control with an IBM 1710 system.
The measurings were accomplished during the last two weeks of February 1969, and included six series of about 2000 samples each using a sam

Sustainable waste management system which focuses on prevention, reuse and recycle instead of burn and bury is difficult to agree upon, design and implement. I look at why after 8 years of development the city of Sofia chose to burn and bury most of its municipal waste despite a better though more difficult to implement alternative based on the Zero Waste concept was presented. I focused on the dy

”Vårt samhälle blir alltmer sårbart” är säkert en formulering du känner igen. Faktum är att vårt samhälle är fullt av risker, stora som små, och för att minska dessa gör varje kommun en risk- och sårbarhetsanalys. Analysen ska bland annat hjälpa politiker att ta beslut om åtgärder som kan minska samhällets risker och i denna artikel ställer vi oss frågan om detta faktiskt händer? Risk definieras i

The United Nations (UN) sanctions regime was developed during the 1990's as an instrument to induce compliance with Security Council (SC) resolutions. The use of more comprehensive sanctions was criticised since it resulted in collateral damage including humanitarian distress. This brought Members of the UN to convene seminars where UN staff, academics and experts discussed how the sanctions r

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), will be the major global observatoryfor very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy over the next decadeand beyond. The scientific potential of CTA is extremely broad: fromunderstanding the role of relativistic cosmic particles to the search for darkmatter. CTA is an explorer of the extreme universe, probing environmentsfrom the immediate neighbourhood of black
