Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige analyseras omkring 40 000 DNA-prover från brottsplatser varje år. DNA-profilerna jämförs mot DNA-profiler från misstänkta personer och kan på så vis användas för att knyta en person till ett brott. Alla typer av kroppsvävnader kan analyseras, såsom blod, saliv och hudceller. Vanliga bevismaterial är cigarettfimpar, flaskor, burkar och kläder. De material som cDNA evidence, linking perpetrators to crime scenes, is central to many legal proceedings. However, crime scene samples often contain extraneous substances that may interfere with the PCR-based forensic analysis, resulting in partial or negative DNA profiles. Extensive DNA purification may remove inhibitors, but involves the risk of DNA loss. In this work, pre-PCR processing was applied to improve

The borderless world is providing new opportunities for conducting business, both within Europe and between continents. Sustainable competition will be harder to attain and competition will become fiercer, day-by-day. The Austrian school of strategy emphasizes change, continuous innovation, and entrepreneurial discovery as sources of supernormal profits. An important assumption is that these super

Risk and vulnerability assessments (RVA) are vital components of the work conducted by public agencies at different levels, as part of the processes for governing and managing risks in the society. In Sweden, public agencies at all levels are required by legislation to perform risk and vulnerability assessments within their respective area of responsibility. The present paper presents a study of h

In higher plants, genes for subunits of respiratory chain complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) have so far been identified solely in organellar genomes. At least nine subunits are encoded by the mitochondrial DNA and 11 homologues by the plastid DNA. One of the 'key' components of complex I is the subunit binding the substrate NADH. The corresponding gene for the mitochondrial subunit has no

We studied the speciose butterfly genus Erebia by reconstructing its phylogenetic relationships using parsimony and Bayesian approaches. We estimated times and rates of diversification for its lineages and employed a biogeographical analysis in order to reconstruct its evolutionary history. DNA sequence data from one mitochondrial gene and three nuclear genes were analyzed for a total of 74 specie

European Union challenges and crises of the past decade, including the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis, refugees, ethno-nationalist/Brexit movements, COVID-19, and Russian invasion of Ukraine are part of a planetary organic crisis (POC) of economy, society, ecology, conflict, and polity. The recognition of the symbiotic relationships between these challenges is crucial for moving from symptoms to c

Wetland area in agricultural landscapes has been heavily reduced to gain land for crop production, but in recent years there is increased societal recognition of the negative consequences from wetland loss on nutrient retention, biodiversity and a range of other benefits to humans. The current trend is therefore to re-establish wetlands, often with an aim to achieve the simultaneous delivery of mu

This paper examines the social rules and conventions of photography practices on visual social media platforms through revisiting the concept of gaze. More specifically we analyse how 25 participants in so-called Instagram take-overs make sense of and perform photography as an embodied visual practice situated in time and space. Hence, approaching that which is seen on Instagram from the viewpoint

A radioactive fallout following a nuclear accident can result in contamination of large areas of land. In order to protect human health against ionizing radiation, large-scale decontamination that includes multiple sets of clean-up measures may be necessary. Sweden lacks national experience of this type of large-scale decontamination. There are thus great uncertainties in the effect of such a deco

Over the years, technological developments and societal changes have forced companies to modify their organizing practices. Companies operating in the construction sector are no exception, but due to their project-based structure, it is more difficult to coordinate change initiatives. Indeed, the construction sector is often described as conservative and unwilling to adopt change. However, there i

This paper revises the design process for closed-loop combustion control based on in-cycle feedback. Methods for the necessary observers, detectors and virtual sensors are also discussed. The control problem tackles the indicated efficiency optimization, following two approaches, direct and indirect optimization. The argumentation provides a comprehensive overview on how to specify and integrate d

The European Spallation Source, currently under construction in Lund, Sweden, will be the world's most powerful neutron source. It is driven by a proton linac with a current of 62.5 mA, 2.86 ms long pulses at 14 Hz. The final section of its normal-conducting front-end consists of a 39 m long drift tube linac (DTL) divided into five tanks, designed to accelerate the proton beam from 3.6 MeV to 90 M

Despite, the fact that we now have highly powerful and reliable CPU cores from System on Chip (SoC) Intellectual Property (IP) giants, the silicon industry is still leaning toward an efficient CPU core with an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) at the moment, where RISC-V has proven to be extremely successful. The aim to customize an open-source processor core, as described in our thes

Purpose: This paper aims to explore the CSR communication in the natural crisis, with investigation of SAS, a Nordic aviation company who suffers huge negative impact during the pandemic. Methodology /Approach: The paper presents a case study where it uses thematic approach to identify the CSR communication content, then by the light of semiotic analysis, the semiotic analysis is conducted to inte

Half a decade after the signing of the peace agreement between the Government of Colombia and the FARC-EP, the country continues to suffer from persisting violence and the need to address environmental destruction is more evident than ever. This research builds on a post-development critique of current peace efforts and responds to the call for including local perspectives in knowledge creation an

Recent research has noticed that the picture of the second-generation immigrants negotiating their identity in media space is different and far more complex than the first generation. With their emergence in the new age of digitalisation, the second-generation immigrant is offered more media choices and freedom of access to the two most important cultural sets of host and homeland country to make

Den här uppsatsen undersöker den svenska filmcensurens utveckling från dess inrättande 1911 fram till 2011 då filmcensuren för vuxna avskaffades. Syftet är att visa hur regleringen av den statlig förhandsgranskning har utvecklats, hur lagstiftningen har motiverats och hur synen på filmcensuren har förändrats över tid. Detta görs med hjälp av en rättshistorisk metod. Statlig censur av kulturella utThis paper examines the development of the Swedish film censorship from its establishment in 1911 until 2011 when the film censorship for adults was abolished. The purpose is to show how the regulation has evolved, how the legislation has been justified and how the legislators’ view of the film censorship has changed over time. This is done by using a legal historical method. State censorship of c

I det generella begreppet våldtäkt har våld inbegripits som en självklar omständighet i många hundra år. Det har även varit ett krav i lagstiftning. I dagens sexualbrottslagstiftning är det inte längre ett krav. En våldtäkt kan begås på internet genom medgärningsmannaskap eller om det med hänsyn till kränkningens allvar är att jämföra med samlag. Av media framkommer det att detta är något unikt föFor hundreds of years, violence has been included as an integral part in the general definition of rape as well as a requirement in the legislation of rape offense charges. Today, however, violence is no longer a requirement in sexual offenses legislation. A rape can be committed on the internet through fellowship or if it is compared to sexual intercourse, given the gravity of the violation. From

The movement of the coast line, due to erosion in one direction or aggregation in theother is a natural process as waves, wind as well as the geological nature of the coast itselfare affecting it. Sand dunes are the main protection coasts have at their disposal againstfloods during storm surges or from more passive but long range rainfalls. As many of the coastal areas have a dense population and

I svensk gällande rätt kan svaranden medge kärandens talan och på så vis hindra att en domstol prövar tvisten i sak även om käranden får en dom i enlighet med sitt medgivna yrkande. Principen om effektivt domstolsskydd, som bland annat finns nedtecknad i artikel 47 i EU-stadgan, ställer dock ett krav på att enskilda har en ”rätt till effektivt rättsmedel inför domstol”. Detta har tolkats i doktrinIn Swedish applicable law, a respondent is able to concede to the applicant’s claim in a way that prevents a judicial review even if the judgement that follows is in compliance with the applicant’s conceded claim. The principle of effective judicial protection, for example codified in article 47 CFREU, demands that individuals have a “right to an effective remedy before a tribunal”. This has been
