Since 2018, a pilot project has been underway to assess the work method Faster Prosecution, which led to its implementation in January 2023. The work method aims to abbreviate the time between the crime and its trial, thereby expediting the legal process. To achieve this objective, the method necessitates collaboration among The Swedish Police Authority, The Swedish Prosecution Authority, The Nati

I kursen ägnas särskild uppmärksamhet åt att studera konfliktens utveckling under 1900-talet ur ett inhemskt, regionalt såväl som internationellt perspektiv. Olika israeliska och palestinska rörelsers inverkan på konflikten kommer att studeras liksom det pågående engagemanget från regionala och internationella statliga och icke-statliga aktörer. Kursen avslutas med en analys av konflikten under 20In the course, particular attention is paid to studying the development of the conflict over the course of the 20th century from a domestic, regional as well as international perspective. The impact of various Israeli and Palestinian movements on the conflict will be studied as well as the ongoing involvement of regional and international state and non-state actors. The course concludes with an an

Several notions of a R&D paradox can be found in the literature. In the Swedish Paradox version, the emphasis is normally on high and growing levels of business R&D connected to comparatively low GDP growth rates. This paper examines whether this pattern is consistent over time and, more importantly, which sectors drive the aggregate patterns. Based on an investigation of the entire Swedis

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how modern network video technology could be used to improve different warehouse types and operations and how barriers may prevent its implementation. Design/methodology/approach: An exploratory multiple-case study with nine case companies was conducted, including on-site visits, interviews, questionnaires and a workshop. Findings: The authors i

INTRODUCTION: Chronic subdural haematomas (CSDHs) are one of the most common neurosurgical conditions. The goal of surgery is to alleviate symptoms and minimise the risk of symptomatic recurrences. In the past, reoperation rates as high as 20%-30% were described for CSDH recurrences. However, following the introduction of subdural drainage, reoperation rates dropped to approximately 10%.
