I Sverige förekommer fortfarande problem med hedersrelaterade våldsbrott. År 2016 var en tredjedel av alla mord som begicks mot kvinnor hedersrelaterade. Många röster har höjts för att en straffskärpning bör ske på området. Mitt syfte med uppsatsen har varit att utreda om det finns ett behov att införa en särreglering vad gäller våldsbrott med heder som motiv i straffskärpande syfte. Följande frågIn Sweden there are still problems with honor-related violent crime. In 2016, one third of all murders committed against women were honor-related murders. Many voices have been raised in order for a punishment to take place in the area. The purpose of the present paper has been to investigate whether there is a need to introduce a special regime for violent crime with honor as a motive for puniti

Plast är en central del av det moderna samhället och har otaliga användningsområden. En av konsekvenserna av detta är att det nu finns 4900 miljoner ton plast i naturen. Denna plast bryts långsamt ner tills partiklarna är på nanometer-nivån, dvs. en miljondel av en millimeter. Vissa plaster i denna storlek är giftiga för akvatiskt djurliv och transporteras upp i näringskedjan. I denna rapport undePlastics play a central role in todays society and its use will only increase. When certain plastics are broken down to a nanometre size they become toxic to some aquatic life. Such plastic particles often undergo aggregation, especially in the aquatic environment. It is therefore of interest to study how different types of aggregation affects the physical characteristics as well as the toxicity o

Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra för gällande rätt kring utevarohandläggning i brottmål samt närmare belysa den problematik som kan uppkomma vid handläggningen. Detta sker med hjälp av den rättsdogmatiska metoden. En stor del av uppsatsen riktar in sig på frågan om rätten kan utreda saken tillfredsställande samt utföra en ändamålsenlig bevisvärdering om den tilltalade inte är närvarande viThe purpose of this essay is to examine the law of trial in the absence of the defendant in criminal cases (trial in absentia) and illuminate the complex of problems that can arise during processing. This is done by using the legal dogmatic method. A substantial part of the paper addresses the question of whether the court can investigate the case satisfactorily and carry out an appropriate evalua

Transposable elements (TEs) are genetic entities that have the ability to move around the genome and regulate nearby genes. Therefore, they constitute a potential threat (and sometimes an evolutionary advantage) for the host's genome. Among other regulatory activities, DNA methylation and KRAB-ZNF are responsible for TE silencing. The dysregulation of these silencing mechanisms have been studi

This study aims to investigate the possibility of creating template times for rail works. Furthermore the study identifies a few effects which template times could have on planning of rail works, traffic and economy. Template times are being considered by the Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, for the early stages of planning when there is a need to estimate the time required within t

Barn som är under 15 år kan inte straffas i svensk rätt enligt 1 kap. 6 § brottsbalken (BrB) och därmed kan de inte heller bli föremål för rättsväsendets åtgärder p.g.a. brott. När samhällsåtgärder därmed måste tas, ligger ansvaret på socialtjänsten. Begår ett barn ett brott kan det ändå utredas av polis och åklagare genom stöd av lagen om unga lagöverträdare (LUL), en s.k. 31 § LUL-utredning. S

In this work, a novel analytical method based on hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed for the analysis of melamine in fresh milk. The conditions of the HF-LPME were investigated and optimized. As a result, a supported liquid membrane containing 6-undecanone and di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) was selected. The

Osteoarthritis is a widespread disease leading to physical disability affecting quality of life. It is primarily regarded as a cartilage disease but affect all tissues of a joint. Osteoarthritis can be regarded as an organ failure. Knee osteoarthritis is common in Kuwait, especially in women. The main symptoms are pain, stiffness and weakness affecting knee function. The diagnosis is made by histo

Objective In contrast with the wealth of data on ischaemic heart disease in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), data on stroke are scarce and contradictory. Despite the high clinical and aetiological relevance, there is no data regarding when (if ever) after RA diagnosis there is an increased risk. Our objective was to assess the risk of stroke (by subtype) in contemporary patients with RA, particularly in

In patients with airflow limitation caused by cigarette smoking, lung density measured by computed tomography is strongly correlated with quantitative pathology scores of emphysema, but the ability of lung densitometry to detect progression of emphysema is disputed. We assessed the sensitivity of lung densitometry as a parameter of disease progression of emphysema in comparison to FEV1 and gas tra

The aim of the thesis is to analyse the transfer pricing rules in the VAT system, namely Articles 72 and 80 of the Recast VAT directive. The thesis specifically aims to investigate the application of the open market value to improperly valued transactions between related parties, what the open market value in the VAT system is and how it is determined. The second chapter of the thesis presents an

The phase field method emerged as a tool to solve free boundary problems with a sharp interface. In previous methods, this involved the computationally inefficient and complicated tracking of a moving interface. The phase field method overcomes this limitation by introducing an auxiliary variable called the order parameter which varies continuously over the whole domain and takes on finite values

Elektroporation är, på Herlevs sjukhus i Danmark, en relativt vanlig metod för att behandla olika typer av hudcancer eller andra cancerformer som utgår från en ytligt belägen mjukvävnad. Behandlingsmetoden använder sig av korta högspänningspulser som överstiger cellmembranets potential, vilket resulterar i att cellmembranets permeabilitet förändras under en kort tid. Är joner eller andra molekylerIntroduction: Calcium is an important ubiquitous second messenger regarding the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and is therefore tightly regulated. Calcium induces cell death when internalised into cancer cells after permeabilization of the cell membrane by electroporation. It is established that radiation causes damage to the lipids and proteins of the cell membrane; and ionizing radiation a

Recent studies have provided evidence for a major role of urothelially released ATP acting on a subpopulation of pelvic afferent nerves in mechano-afferent transduction in the bladder. We investigated whether desensitization of capsaicin-sensitive nerve fibres by systemic resiniferatoxin (RTX)-pretreatment can counteract the detrusor over-activity induced by intravesical capsaicin, acetic acid or

Aims: More than 90% of patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) and reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction have LV dyssynchrony and a high probability of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). A subgroup of patients with non-specific intraventricular conduction delay (IVCD) have a LBBB-like LV activation pattern when studied using invasive mapping and advanced echocardi

År 2011 infördes entreprenörskap i den svenska skolans läroplaner. På 1980-talet ansågs dock utbildningsorganisationen Ung Företagsamhet (UF), som fokuserar på entreprenörskapsutbildning för ungdomar, vara ideologiskt kontroversiell. Under loppet av 30 år har synen på entreprenörskap och UF:s status förändrats i grunden. Denna avhandling undersöker hur och varför entreprenörskap blev ett kunskapsoIn 2011, entrepreneurship was added to the curricula of Swedish schools at all levels. In the 1980s, however, the educational organization Junior Achievement (JA), that focuses on entrepreneurship education for young people, was considered ideologically controversial. Over the course of 30 years, the view of entrepreneurship and the status of JA has changed fundamentally. This thesis investigates

BACKGROUND: Sustained intrauterine hypoxia causes some four million perinatal deaths annually worldwide. The condition is predicated by neonatal acidemia, as determined by pH in umbilical cord blood at birth. We aimed to evaluate the association between umbilical cord arterial pH and long-term outcomes up to 20 years of follow-up.STUDY DESIGN: Using a retrospective cohort design, umbilical cord ar

Design thinking is an innovative methodology that may be applied by small and medium enterprises which emphasizes a human-centered approach to problem-solving, facilitating the creation of novel solutions for complex and open-ended challenges like the development of new products. Despite its recognized importance in business and academia, many industrial SMEs struggle with applying design thinking

Evidence that a 1,2-dihydroxycyclohexadienide anion is stabilized by aromatic "negative hyperconjugation" is described. It complements an earlier inference of "positive" hyperconjugative aromaticity for the cyclohexadienyl cation. The anion is a reactive intermediate in the dehydration of benzene cis-1,2-dihydrodiol to phenol. Rate constants for 3-substituted benzene cis-dihydrodiols are correlate
