Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka och redogöra för uppkomsten av fängelsestraffet som självständig straffsanktion i Sverige samt analysera den straffrättsteoretiska diskurs som därmed följde. Genom tillämpande av en rättsdogmatisk metod har uppsatsens frågeställningar besvarats – när uppkom fängelsestraffet som självständig straffsanktion och varför uppkom det när det uppkom, samt vad handlaThe purpose of this thesis is to examine and describe the origins of the sentence imprisonment as an independent punishment in Sweden, and to analyze the discourse concerning theory of punishment that followed. Through applying a legal dogmatic method the questions of the thesis are answered – when did imprisonment arise as an independent punishment and why then, what was the discourse concerning

Ecosystem modelling is an always evolving science trying to catch the complexity of the nature and its principles to model environmental responses in a realistic way. Over and over, models try to introduce more variables and interactions to achieve better representations of phenomena of interest like the responses of the ecosystem to a fast changing world (climate change, land use change).

At Haväng in eastern Scania, South Sweden, an underwater landscape occurs on the seabed. The landscape consists of deep-rooted pines standing in organic deposits. Due to sea level changes, the area was exposed during two phases (11,700 to 10,700 and 10,000 to 8,500 years ago) so that pines could live there, to subsequently drown and end up submerged. This study aims to show how the Baltic Sea form

Over the last few years there has been a steady increase in interest in the exploration of perovskite materials within photovoltaic research. This can to a large extent be attributed to the incredible pace at which solar cells based on perovskites have improved in efficiency during the same time period. Perovskite solar cells (SCs) are not only an alternative to today’s market leading silicon base

I Alternativa övningsmetoder för musiker – del 1 presenteras olika sätt på vilka musikaliska färdigheter kan övas genom mentalisering och andra alternativa övningsmetoder som inte inkluderar användande av musikernas huvudinstrument. Den visar också hur dessa metoder kan kombineras. Här beskrivs även hur och varför dessa arbetssätt fungerar för musikalisk instudering individuellt och i en duo samt Alternative Methods of Practising Music – A study of practising without one’s main instrument for single musicians and small ensembles – Part 1 presents different ways in which musical skills can be practised through imagery and other alternative methods of practising that do not involve the use of the musicians’ main instruments. It also shows how these methods may be combined. Furthermore, it de

Att jordbruksmark bebyggs har under senare tid blivit en alltmer aktuell fråga och har skapat debatt kring skyddet av jordbruksmark. Lagstiftningen om detta skydd återfinns i 3 kap. 4 § miljöbalken (1998:808) där det anges att jordbruk är av nationell betydelse. Vidare gäller enligt paragrafen att brukningsvärd jordbruksmark får bebyggas för väsentliga samhällsintressen endast om inte annan mark, The fact that agricultural land is being exploited has become a more present question and has created a debate regarding the protection of agricultural land. The legislation of this protection is found in Chapter 3 Section 4 of the Swedish Environmental Code (1998:808) which states that agriculture is a national interest. Furthermore, it states that land suitable for cultivation may be exploited f

Language and gesture are two semiotic systems that work together in close integration during communication. One issue in particular, that of image schemas, has been studied in relation to gestures, though most often in adult gesture and communication (Williams, forthcoming; Cienki, 2013; Mittelberg, 2006, 2018). This contrasts with mimetic schemas, which are thought to be more specific structures

Fermentation is a process that utilizes live microorganisms to produce different biological products such as enzymes. The oxygen mass transfer rate is often the limiting factor in aerobic fermentations and thereby an important process parameter. The initial aim of this MSc thesis was therefore to develop a soft sensor for the volumetric oxygen mass transfer coefficient, kLa, in order to monitor it

Research question: How do social relationships and social interactions shape the behavior of young consumers on Social Media and Communication Apps? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of how the Social Customer Journey influences the purchasing behavior of young consumers on Social Media and Communication Apps. Furthermore, the study aims to explore the dynamics o

Electrocardiograms have, since the beginning of the 1900s, been used as a noninvasive diagnostic method to reflect underlying heart conditions by measuring the electrical activity of the heart. Novosense AB has developed a new technology for completely wireless recording of ECG. Their goal is to replace the stationary patient monitors and telemetry systems. Unlike today's technology, where a c

Background: Thirty-day mortality after hip fracture is widely used when ranking hospital performance, but the reliability of such hospital ranking is seldom calculated. We aimed to quantify the variation in 30-day mortality across hospitals and to determine the hospital general contextual effect for understanding patient differences in 30-day mortality risk. Methods: Patients aged ≥65 years with a

Numerous vulnerabilities have been noted in the current structures of the Gulf economies, including dependency on hydrocarbon exports, the need for fiscal reforms and alternative sources of state revenue, as well as limited incentives in the status-quo for initiative and productive activities. However, diversification, business development and transition away from hydrocarbon dependency require t

Objective: To examine the association of physical activity (PA), measured by accelerometry, to hemoglobin AIC (HbA1c) and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) outcomes in children who were multiple persistent confirmed autoantibody positive for type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods: The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) multinational study followed children from birth. Children ≥3

Background: Urosepsis is a life-threatening condition that needs to be addressed without delay. Two critical issues in its management are: (1) Appropriate empirical antibiotic therapy, considering the patients general condition, comorbidity, and the pathogen expected; and (2) Timing of imaging to identify obstruction requiring decompression. Objectives: To identify risk factors associated with 30-

In this thesis we study efficient solvers for space-time discontinuous Galerkin spectral element methods (DG-SEM). These discretizations result in fully implicit schemes of variable order in both spatial and temporal directions. The popularity of space-time DG methods has increased in recent years and entropy stable space-time DG-SEM have been constructed for conservation laws, making them interes

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from patients are an attractive disease model to study tissues with poor accessibility such as the brain. Using this approach, we and others have shown that trisomy 21 results in genome-wide transcriptional dysregulations. The effects of loss of genes on chromosome 21 is much less characterized. Here, we use patient-derived neural cells from an individual wit

A short episode (~170 kyr) of extremely high global temperatures that occurred ~56 Ma, known as the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum, is widely considered an ancient analogue of the ongoing anthropogenic warming. This ancient hyperthermal event consisted of three phases, onset, core and recovery, which are respectively represented in the mid-latitude south Pyrenean Tremp-Graus Basin by three succe
