Syftet med denna uppsats är att belysa och problematisera diskussionen kring straffbarhetsålderns lämplighet. Syftet innefattar även att utreda om straffbarhetsåldern är ändamålsenligt satt. Sedan år 1902 har Sverige haft en absolut straffbarhetsålder på femton år men åldern har tidigare än så varit lagstadgad runt femton år även om undantag har funnits. Att barn som begår brott inte ska straffasThis essay aims to highlight and frame the discussion of the age of criminal responsibility. This also involves an investigation as to whether the age of criminal responsibility in Sweden is appropriate and contemporary. Since 1902, Sweden has had an absolute age of criminal responsibility of fifteen years old, subject to some exceptions. This outlines that it is not a new regulation that child o

Climate change is an urgent global issue affecting millions of people and several ecosystems. However, there is a significant gap between what has been done and what is needed for climate change adaptation. Conservation areas play a crucial role in responding to climate change by providing essential ecosystem services and supporting biodiversity and human adaptation. However, there is a lack of re

Disasters exacerbate pre-existing gender inequalities, rendering women vulnerable to various forms of harm. Nevertheless, women are not victims to be protected by men; rather, they play a significant role in post-disaster recovery. Previous studies in Türkiye’s context revealed a lack of gender lens in disaster response and management. This thesis investigates the gendered experiences of women in

Young people with intellectual disabilities in Indonesia face difficulties living up to the financial and social independence criteria of social adulthood. Many will need care- and livelihood support throughout their adult lives. This case study aims to examine how formal and informal social protection for persons with intellectual disabilities is organized in a semi-urban city in Central Java. So

This thesis explores the increased electricity access between 2003 and 2019 in Afghanistan by employing two main explanatory variables – solar power and international involvement. The models are based on logistic regressions, investigating urban and rural areas, as well as a sample of the whole population. The data is survey data collected annually, by the Asia Foundation, throughout the country.

Adaptive capacity based on organisational learning (OL) is at once a critical imperative facing humanitarian organisations in their mission to save lives and support communities most at risk; and inherently evidenced as an enduring weakness over the past decades. Vulnerability and Capacity Assessments (VCA) are community-based risk assessments established for their utility in supporting communitie

Denna uppsats undersöker ifall marknadsföringsmetoden Pay What You Want (PWYW) har en starkare positiv påverkan på en konsuments attityd gentemot en produkt i förhållande till gratisprover (FREE). Detta undersöktes på studenter i Lunds Universitet med ett implicit test, SC-IAT. Medan FREE ger bort produkten utan extra kostnad tillåter PWYW konsumenten friheten att köpa en produkt till vilket pris This thesis examines whether the marketing procedure Pay What You Want (PWYW) has a stronger positive influence on a consumer’s attitude towards a product in relation to free product trials (FREE). This was studied on students of Lund University with the tool SC-IAT. While FREE gives the product away without further ado, PWYW allows the consumer the freedom to buy a product at any amount of their

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Morgondagens energi Vind-, och vattenkraft tillsammans med solenergi är de enda energikällorna vi har som inte leder till avfall som ökar växthuseffekt eller avfall som vi inte kan göra oss av (från t ex kärnkraftverk). Men solpanelerna som finns idag för kommersiellt privat bruk ligger på en effektivitet kring 15%. Att utveckla nya molekyler som kan omvanlda solThe aim of the study was to theoretically investigate if a proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) was feasible for a molecular system consisting of a light harvesting complex, ruthenium(tris-2,`2-bipy)2+, with different organic moieties serving as PCET (proton coupled electron transfer) relays. These light harvesting complexes are also sometimes referred to as dyes. By studying the energy levels

Nuvarande reglering av säkerhet i lös egendom i Sverige bygger, med undantag för några lagstiftningsåtgärder, på rättspraxis och juridisk doktrin. Även om pantsättning är huvudmetoden för att ställa säkerhet, används i praktiken flera olika typer av säkerhetsrätter då lagstiftaren infört separata registersystem (t.ex. företagshypotek) och då äganderätt i praktiken ofta används som säkerhet (t.ex. Present Swedish law concerning security over movable assets is largely based on case law and legal literature, with some statutory intervention. Although the principal form of security is the possessory pledge, various security devices are used in practice, pursuant to legislative introductions of separate registration systems (e.g. floating charges) and the commercial use of ownership for securit

In light of the growing “coherence” between humanitarianism and political actions in today’s world, does aid remain conducive to socio-economic improvement, or does it inhibit the ushering of much needed change? In the context of this study, the besieged population of Gaza organized large weekly demonstrations known as the Great Return March (2018-2020) to demand their basic political, economic an

Sinusitis is a common disease caused by a virus or bacteria, with 84% to 91% of cases caused by a viral pathogen. However, physicians prescribe antibiotics for this disease in 85% of all cases. GPX Medical is a company working on the development of a medical device which, by means of absorption spectroscopy, can determine whether the disease is caused by virus or bacteria supporting, thus, the doc
