Sammanfattning Ur bevishänseende är sexualmål ett särskilt typ av brott. Bevisningen består inte sällan enbart av målsägandes utsaga och till viss del av stödbevisning som styrker målsägandes berättelse. Högsta domstolen ska mot bakgrund av relativt svag bevisning avgöra om det är ställt utom rimligt tvivel att den tilltalade gjort sig skyldig till brott. Högsta domstolen tenderar att bedöma målsäSummary Sexual offence differ from other crimes. The injured party’s evidence in sexual offence tends to consist of solely oral evidence, and partially corroborating evidence. Based on relatively weak evidence, the role of the Swedish Supreme court is to determine whether the defendant’s guilt is beyond reasonable doubt, the legal standard of proof required to validate criminal convictions. A stat
Illegal waste trafficking is today one of the most profitable illegal activities in the world. About 25 % of all global waste transports are estimated to be illegal and they are increasing. The same applies to plastics; the production of plastics is increasing and so is the illegal shipment of plastic waste. Due to the often- harmful substances in plastics, when plastic waste is not taken care of
Several countries have recently increased their efforts to improve teaching quality by focusing their attention on pre- and in-service teacher training. This raises the question whether such training makes teachers actually more effective. Yet, the existing literature on teacher training is limited and inconclusive. Using cross-sectional data from the Trends in International Mathematics and Scienc
This thesis examines how ideas of truth and knowledge are created, maintained, and negotiated within the context of a community through means of communication. This is achieved by conducting a case study which highlights the social processes of deconstructing and reconstructing ideas of truth. The empirical material analyzed is the podcast Another Name For Every Thing, featuring Franciscan friar F
Ett patent är en immateriell rättighet som ger innehavaren en ensamrätt till innovationen. Som patentinnehavare kan en av de viktigaste delarna av patentet vara det patentskydd det medför, vilket ämnar skydda mot intrång. Men för att patentskyddet ska kunna ge den tänkta effekten krävs det att sanktionerna, patentskyddet medför, i form av ekonomiska skadestånd är avskräckande, proportionerligA patent is an intellectual property which gives the owner exclusive rights to the innovation. As a patent holder one of the most important things of a patent might be the protection it provides against intrusions. But if the patent is going to be able to provide the intentional effect its required that sanctions it brings, in the shape of financial damages are discouraging and proportionate b
The aim of this study was to examine what type of knowledge and competence is needed and sought after in social work in health care and how the new university education for specialization in health counselling contributes to this knowledge from the student's perspective. A qualitative interview study with open semi-structured questions was carried out with four students that attend the special

Annually laminated (varved) sediments provide opportunities to reconstruct climate change and human impact on the environment with high temporal resolution. Depending on the character of the varves, such sediments can provide insight into the delivery of both autochthonous and allochthonous material from the lake and its catch- ment and answer questions regarding both regional and local responses
The European colonisation of the Americas has had effects on all parts of Indigenous lives. The institutionalised racism that separated Indigenous children from their families led to disconnection and loss of identities. Christian mission and imperialism intersected with Western medicine and forced sterilisations of Indigenous women as a means to reduce the Indigenous population. It also created a

The research question is addressed by a qualitative approach, using Political Discourse Analysis, the concept of regulatory space and an analytical framework designed by the authors. The analysis of the constructi
Recently the interest for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering experiments has increased since it is believed that through these experiments, a wide range of new physics, e.g., sterile neutrinos, could be discovered. This experiment is ideally performed at spallation sources and in this project we look into an experiment, which is planned at the European Spallation Source. However, the mea
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för stora utsläpp av växthusgaser från byggnadsmaterial- och energianvändning. Byggbranschen står idag för ca en femtedel av Sveriges totala koldioxidutsläpp. Ett område med stor potential är byggnadsmaterial där IsoTimber är ett av företagen som driver utvecklingen framåt.

Stora delar av Sveriges koldioxidutsläpp kommer ifrån bygg-och anläggningssektorn. Majoriteten av koldioxidutsläppen kommer ifrån materialframställning och i samband med uppförande av nya byggnader. För att kunna minska byggbranschens belastningen på miljön krävs åtgärder. Medvetna materialval, klimatkalkyler och en ökad cirkulation av byggnadsmaterial kan vara exempel på åtgärder som kan bidra ti
The Big Tech companies, more precisely the five American giants: Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft, have been performing a massive number of startup acquisitions and strengthening their dominant position in the market. In an economical study about mergers in the pharmaceutical sector the term killer acquisition was firstly adopted to define a transaction in which an incumbent, after ac
Digitala nomader är personer som genom distansarbete och digitala kommunikationsmedel skapar sig geografisk frihet och flexibilitet. Arbetssättet gör att personen i princip kan arbeta platsoberoende så länge en internetuppkoppling finns. Distansarbete är en ökande trend i samhället. År 2014 införde till exempel Estland ett digitalt e-medborgarskap, och blev först ut i världen med att erbjuda ett sDigital nomads are people who create geographical freedom and flexibility through teleworking and digital means of communication. The working method means that the person can, in principle, work independently as long as there is an internet connection. Teleworking is a growing trend in society, and, for example, Estonia introduced a digital e-citizenship in 2014 and became the first in the world t
