Much of the animal ethics and welfare debate today is accused of anthropomorphism, i.e. that human mental states are ascribed to animals. It is generally claimed that these attitudes does no service to animals, since they, according to many natural scientists, usually fail to recognize what animals really are, that animals' needs and responses are actually very different from humans'. The damaging
Using a standard model where the individual consumption path is computed solving an optimal control problem, we investigate central claims of Piketty (2014) Rather than r>g (confirmed in the data) r-s>g - with s being the rate of time preference - matters. If this condition holds and the elasticity of substitution in the production function is larger than one, the capital share converges to one in
STUDY OBJECTIVES: The current study sought to examine whether self-reported sleep duration is linked to an adverse body composition in 19,709 adults aged 45 to 75 years. METHODS: All variables used in the current study were derived from the Swedish EpiHealth cohort study. Habitual sleep duration was measured by questionnaires. Body composition was assessed by bioimpedance. The main outcome variabl
Academic training, where senior scientists transfer their knowledge and skills to junior scientists through apprenticeship, plays a crucial role in the development of scientists. This study focuses on two aspects of academic training, autonomy and exploration, to investigate how different modes of training are incentivized and how they affect junior scientists’ performance and career prospects. Dr
This book analyses the way in which international human rights law (IHRL) and international investment law (IIL) are deployed – or fail to be deployed – in conflict countries within the context of natural resources extraction. It specifically analyses the way in which IIL protections impact on the parallel protection of economic, social and cultural rights (ESC rights) in the host state, especiall
The fundamental principles that govern antiferroelectric (AFE)-ferroelectric (FE) transitions are not well understood for many solid solutions of perovskite compounds. For example, crystal chemical considerations based on the average Goldschmidt tolerance factor or ionic polarizability do not precisely predict the boundary between the AFE and FE phases in dilute solid solutions of alkali niobates,
PurposeArchitectural theorists have a long tradition of acknowledging the centrality of building users to architectural production. This article contributes to the discourse on architecture, actor–network theory (ANT), and users by proposing a typology of user translations ranging from supporting to tinkering to adjusting to resisting.Design/methodology/approachThe research utilises an ANT-inspire
n this paper I will use concepts from innovation theory to analyse the work of the Court of Justice of the European Union in its important role as sole interpreter of EU law. In that regard, I define ‘innovator’ as one that facilitates use of new or existing inventions. Thus innovation is portrayed as a process in which several actors may contribute and where it all starts with an invention (the s
Dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) are designed for the study of past, present and future vegetation patterns together with associated biogeochemical cycles and climate feedbacks. However, most DGVMs do not yet have detailed representations of permafrost and non-permafrost peatlands, which are an important store of carbon, particularly at high latitudes. We demonstrate a new implementation o
Governance issues surrounding technologies are profound. This is best illustrated in the context of climate change that does not only exert severe, pervasive and multifaceted impacts on the environment and on the everyday lives of people around the world, but also further aggravates the tension between law, technology and the public in a broader societal context. As a response to feckless global a
En stor andel av vuxna svenskar planerar under sitt yrkesamma liv för sin ekonomi när de slutar arbeta genom att pensionsspara. Även lagstiftaren anser det vara viktigt att det planeras för framtiden och lämnar skattekredit till dem som väljer att pensionsspara genom pensionsförsäkring eller individuellt pensionssparande. Då man pensionssparar just för att få en bättre ekonomisk situation på ålderA large proportion of Swedish adults plan for their economy while working by saving for the retirement. The legislator also establishes the importance of planning for the future by granting a tax credit for those who choose to save for the retirement in certain products defined by law. The legal protection of capital savings when saving for a better financial situation when you reach retirement is
I 29 kap. 6 § BrB regleras förutsättningarna för påföljdseftergift. Bestämmelsen har tre kumulativa rekvisit: att den tilltalade har funnits skyldig till brottet, att det finns förmildrande omständigheter samt att en påföljd framstår som uppenbart oskälig. De förmildrande omständigheterna i 29 kap. 5 § BrB, som påföljdseftergift grundas på, kallas ”billighetsskäl” och hänför sig till omständigheteThe prerequisites for remission of sanctions are regulated in chapter 29, 6 § of the Swedish penal code (BrB). The regulation has three cumulative prerequisites: that the defendant has been found guilty, that there are mitigating circumstances and that a sanction, with regard to these circumstances, is obviously unreasonable. The mitigating circumstances, that are regulated in chapter 29, 5 § BrB,
Den 30 oktober 2014 erkände Sverige staten Palestina. Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka om det svenska erkännandet av Palestina har stöd i folkrätten eller om erkännandet rentav utgör en folkrättsligt otillåten handling. Med utgångspunkt i de argument, för och emot riktigheten i erkännandet, som framförts från olika debattörer analyseras rättsläget för att avgöra vilka argument som har bäriOn the 30th of October 2014 Sweden recognised the state of Palestine. The aim of this essay is to examine whether this recognition is supported in public international law or if it, on the contrary, constitutes an internationally wrongful act. Based on arguments presented in the media for and against the recognition, the legal position will be analysed in order to determine if any of these argumen
I Sverige är personer oskyldiga till dess att motsatsen är bevisad. För att dömas till ansvar för brott krävs dessutom att det är bevisat bortom rimligt tvivel att gärningspersonen agerat mot ett straffbud. Det är domstolen som har bördan att avgöra ifall motsatsen är bevisad eller inte. Domstolen ska utifrån den presenterade utredning och bevisning som föreligger för och emot de specifika åtalspuIn Sweden, individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty. To be convicted of a crime, it is also required that it is proven beyond reasonable doubt that the perpetrator acted against a penal provision. The court is entrusted with the task of determining whether the contrary has been proven or not. Based on the investigation and evidence presented for and against the specific charges, the c
This study seeks to understand and explain why Sweden and Finland voted differently in the Council of the European Union on the proposal of a minimum wage directive. The two countries share a labor market system, based in collective bargaining and important roles for trade unions and employer organizations, without a legally set minimum wage. At the time, the two countries hade ideologically simil
The thesis explores the interaction between patent rights for Standard Essential Patents(SEP) and competition law, particularly Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union(TFEU), within the context of the European Union(EU) , and compares this interaction with the relevant provisions in the proposed EU SEP regulation COM(2023)232. Three research questions will be discussed:
I juli 2024 lämnade Utredningen om påföljder, återfall och verkställighet sitt betänkande, SOU 2024:48, vari ett förslag är att införa en preventivt inriktad tidsobestämd frihetsberövande påföljd, så kallat säkerhetsstraff. Syftet med förslaget är att i särskilt allvarliga situationer, när påföljden inte kan bestämmas till fängelse på livstid eller rättspsykiatrisk vård, ändå kunna frihetsberöva eIn July 2024, the Inquiry on Sanctions, Recidivism, and Enforcement submit-ted its report, SOU 2024:48, which includes a proposal to introduce a preventively oriented, indefinite deprivation of liberty as a sanction, referred to as a security sentence. The purpose of the proposal is to enable the indefinite detention of an offender in particularly serious situations, where the sanction cannot be d
