Att beröva en annan människa livet är ett av de grymmaste och mest förödande brotten som en människa kan begå. Det berövar en människa den mest grundläggande mänskliga rättigheten – rätten till liv. Ett sådant brott ska bemötas med ett hårt straff. Denna uppsats syftar till att redogöra för hur livstidsstraffets tillämpning i Sverige har förändrats under de senaste åren pga. flera betydande ändrinDepriving another human life is one of the cruelest and most devastating crimes that a human being can commit. It denies a human being the most fundamental human right – the right to life. Such a crime must be dealt with a severe penalty. The purpose of this thesis is to describe how the application of the life sentence in Sweden has changed over the past years because of several significant amend

När byggnader och broar ska dimensioneras är det viktigt att knutpunkterna för konstruktionen är noggrant beräknade. För att utföra beräkningar som tar hänsyn till knäckning och andra fenomen används ofta datorberäkningar i viss utsträckning. Det tar ofta oerhört lång tid, både för användaren att skapa en modell för konstruktionen i den grad av detalj som behövs, samt för datorprogrammet att beräkWhen designing large complex steel structures numerical calculation methods are always used to some extent. The simulation technology of today is advanced and can with proper modeling technique provide detailed analyses which captures the structural response accurately. For most projects it is not reasonable to analyze a complete structure in exact detail and therefore simplified methods are used

What do customers want from an energy supplier application? To meet the increasing digitalization of the society, the energy supplier Kraftringen strives to create a new application that will match the customer’s needs and Kraftringen’s vision. This thesis was performed in order to present a user interface proposal of Kraftringen’s new application, to improve the user experience. The goals include

17 kap. 10 § LOU stadgar att ett kontrakt eller ramavtal får ändras i enlighet med en ändrings- eller optionsklausul utan att en ny upphandling måste genomföras, om kontraktets eller ramavtalets övergripande karaktär inte ändras, om klausulen har angetts i något av upphandlingsdokumenten och klart, exakt och entydigt beskriver under vilka förutsättningar den kan tillämpas. Vidare ska klausulen äve17th chapter 10th § of the Swedish Public Procurement Act statues that a contract or a framework agreement may be modified without a new procurement procedure in accordance with a review clause or option, if the clause does not provide for modifications that would alter the overall nature of the contract. The review clause shall be set out in the initial procurement documents. Such a clause shall

Urbanisation in Beirut has led to a situation where the city suffers from a severe lack of green public space—Lebanon’s capital have ended up with some of the least amount of public green space per capita in the world. The lack of green surfaces and vegetation in Beirut contributes to the city’s Urban Heat Island (UHI)—a phenomenon where an urban or metropolitan area traps waste heat and end up si

In protein formulation, addition of surfactants is commonly executed to enhance product stability and shelf-life. The reason is that surfactants can protect proteins against surface-induced aggregation. However, the interaction between surfactant and protein depends on the type of surfactant used. Anionic surfactants can unfold proteins and form complexes in equilibrium manner. The complex structu

Despite economic sanctions generally failing to achieve their intended goals, the global use of sanctions has increased dramatically since the end of the Cold war. A recent example of a sanctions regime unsuccessful in realizing its ostensible goal is that of the U.S. ‘maximum pressure’ campaign against Venezuela between 2017 – 2022, which did not succeed in removing the incrementally authoritaria

An important factor in preventing food waste is the ability to provide a product with a package according to its needs. The packaging material, in turn, needs to be recyclable in order to contribute to a circular use of materials rather than becoming waste. The aim of this thesis is to examine the difference between the current and future packaging material of coffee produced by Zoégas. The curren

Då man producerar cement släpps koldioxid ut från både förbränningen av bränslet och kalcineringen av kalksten för att bilda bränd kalk. En del av koldioxiden, motsvarande den som släpps ut vid kalcineringen, kommer kunna absorberas av den härdade betongen. Denna process kallas karbonatisering och rör sig som en front från betongens yta och inåt. Ett sätt som ibland används för att bygga miljövänlWhen producing cement, carbon dioxide is released from both the combustion of the fuel and the calcination of limestone to form quicklime. Part of this carbon dioxide, corresponding to that released during calcination, can be absorbed by the hardened concrete by a process called carbonation that moves like a front from the surface of the concrete inwards. One way that is sometimes used to build mo

This master’s thesis evaluates the feasibility of using in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study the effects of high temperature heat treatments of a coated soft magnetic composite (SMC) sample. SMCs are an increasingly competitive magnetic powder material which finds use in for instance electric motors. A heat treatment following compaction for SMCs is an essential part of manufact

Historically being a success to the European Union and its integration processes, technical standardisation has been a dormant policy area low down on the European Commission’s agenda priority list – until now. The increasing international competition has arguably spurred the Commission to push for speedy developments in standardisation to establish the EU once again in a leading position, thus ef

The purpose of this study is to find out how assistance officers reason about making decisions about moving to special housing. We pay special attention to the principle of remaining resident, which should guide such decisions. The main focus of this study is to increase understanding and provide a clearer picture of the historical events that have resulted in the success of the remaining residenc

Varje stad har ett industriområde, en gammal fabrik, en nedlagd bensinstation eller möjligtvis en hamn. Man går förbi och tänker att det ser lite tråkigt ut, men något kanske inte alla tänker på är att platsen troligtvis är förorenad. Bara i Sverige finns det 86 000 förorenade mark- eller vattenområden som kan medföra skador för människors hälsa och på miljön. Energihamnen i Göteborg är Sveriges sEnvironmental pollution caused by human activity is one of today's biggest dilemmas. Pollution in air, water and soil can pose risks to human health and the environment and can lead to a reduction in available resources. Investigating and remediating contaminated areas is therefore an important task. In the past 20 years, there have been two major spills of gasoline and diesel at the Energy Po

The purpose of this thesis is to research the relationship between trade unions and far-right parties in Scandinavia. Considering the well established trade unions, the Nordic model, with the rise of support for the far-right, and how their founding ideologies are very different from each other, the region of Scandinavia constitutes a unique area for the relationship between trade unions and far-r

Image registration of X-ray images is used to correctly align the patient before the cancer tumour is treated with sets of high dose X-ray radiation. Before the first treatment, a simulated X-ray image is taken showing the best possible localisation of the tumour. From then on, after each of the radiation treatments of the tumour, a low dose of the X-ray theurapeutic radiation is used to take an i

Developing wind farms is a long and costly task. Assessing the potential of a site is a major part of the development of a wind project. Reanalysis, that are modelling of the wind speed made from scattered wind data across the world (from satellites, weather stations for example), can help to fulfill this step as they are improving their accuracy with each new release. Among them is EMD-WRF, a rea

As the current energy system dependency on fossil fuels continues to perpetuate environmental harms, endangers economic stability and exaggerates international conflicts, there has been a growing momentum for a transition towards more sustainable forms of energies. When it comes to policies that aim towards a shift in energy systems, California has been recognized as one of the flagship regions in

This dissertation intends to examine how the Swedish art world is responding to the exposure of artwork which has been produced using artificial intelligence as a tool. Based on qualitative interviews with curators, who have developed and formed exhibitions of AI-art, this study aims to investigate if an acceptance of such art could occur. In 2019 two of Sweden’s most reputable art institutions,

Äldre anställdas ställning på arbetsmarknaden är onekligen osäker. I detta arbete försöker jag att räta ut och förstå hur äldre arbetstagare är skyddade på arbetsmarknaden genom att undersöka hur gällande rätt är designat. Detta görs genom en komparativ studie mellan Sverige och Kina, där en rad olika undersökningsområden kopplat till anställningsskydd för äldre bearbetas. Arbetet berör och förklaThe status of the elderly on the labour market is undeniably precarious. In this thesis, I am trying to straighten out how the elderly are protected on the labour market and how the legislation to protect them is designed. This is done through a comparative study between Sweden and China, where a number of research areas associated with employment protection for elderly are processed. I am, in thi
