Vi konsumerar dagligen mängder av information. Internets framfart har gjort det lättare för vem som helst att utse sig till själv forskare eller expert. Informationen vi tar del av behöver inte nödvändigtvis alltid vara sann utan kan handla om argument byggda på personliga övertygelser framför fakta. Det gör att behovet av att vara källkritisk och värdera olika typer av information ökar. Syftet me

I det svenska rättssystemet fördelas rättegångskostnader i tvistemål i enlighet med The English Rule. Huvudregeln är att den förlorande parten, utöver att denne får stå sina egna rättegångskostnader, åläggs att betala motpartens kostnader. Regler för hur rättegångskostnader fördelas i det svenska rätts-systemet återfinns framför allt i 18 kap. rättegångsbalken. Till huvudregeln finns ett flertal uIn the Swedish legal system, litigation expenses are distributed according to The English Rule. The rule is that the losing party of the trial is obliged to pay the opposing party’s litigation expenses, as well as its own. Distribution of litigation expenses is mainly regulated in the 18th chapter of the Code of Judicial Procedure (rättegångsbalken). The English Rule is not without exceptions. Th

Den 1 juli 2018 trädde en ny våldtäktslagstiftning i kraft som tar utgångspunkt i avsaknaden av ett frivilligt deltagande, till skillnad från hittillsvarande reg-lering som har utgått från förekomsten av våld, hot eller otillbörliga utnyttjanden. Vidare infördes även ett nytt brott med rubriceringen oaktsam våldtäkt, vilket är föreskrivet i 6 kapitlet 1 a § BrB. Brottet oaktsam våldtäkt tar sikte On July 1, 2018, a new legislation regarding rape took effect, which is based on the lack of voluntary participation, unlike the previous regulations which required violence, threats or undue exploitation. Furthermore, a new offence was passed with the classification negligent rape, prescribed in Chapter 6, 1 a § of the Penal Code. The crime of negligent rape includes the same criminal act – sexua

En ny metod påstås kunna analysera störningar i elnätet i realtid med hjälp av befintliga mätinstrument. Genom att beräkna flöden av svängningsenergi kan olika generatorers roller i störningen visualiseras. Från kontrollrum kan störningskällor kopplas bort och generatorers bidrag till dämpning kontinuerligt utvärderas. Men bakgrunden till metoden är grumlig och tolkningen av svängningsenergin är oElectromechanical oscillations is a power system phenomenon where generator rotors oscillate, leading to oscillatory power flows. Damping of such oscillations is important for system stability. Forced oscillations is a special case where one faulty component is the source of the oscillation. This report concerns the Dissipating Energy Flow (DEF), which is an energy-based method for analysing dampi

Människokroppen är uppbyggd av olika typer av celler som exempelvis hudceller, nervceller och fettceller. Generellt sett är dessa celler utformade för en väldigt specifik uppgift såsom att utföra arbete (exempelvis muskelceller) eller att förse kroppen med struktur (exempelvis benceller). Det finns en väldigt spektakulär typ av cell -- så kallade stamceller -- vars specifika syfte är att omvandlasThe generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from differentiated cells is a process of great scientific interest due to the medical potential of such cells. This process (called 'reprogramming' of cells) is however notoriously inefficient and still not very well understood. Therefore studies that can help us understand the interactions and mechanisms governing the reprogramming p

In the context of growing population and increasing greenhouse gas emissions, urban energy planning is becoming a topic of high concern. With the rapid pace of urban construction, it is claimed that 40% of America’s total energy consumption is accounted by the building sector. Energy modelling and simulation are believed to be effective in supporting urban energy planning. Today, the growing avail

Ett kronvittnessystem, som innebär att en tilltalad genom angivelse av andra personers brottslighet kan få ett lindrigare straff, förekommer inte i det svenska rättsystemet. Syftet med denna uppsats är att, efter en komparation med Danmark, utreda om ett kronvittnessystem som strafflindringsgrund borde införas. Straffsystemets vägledande principer i både Danmark och Sverige är rättssäkerhet, legalThe legal system of Sweden does not contain a crown witness system. A crown witness system means that a defendant can get a penalty discount if he or she reveals other people's crimes so the police and the prosecutor can convict other criminals. The purpose of this essay is to investigate, after a comparison with Denmark, if Sweden should introduce a crown witness system as a possibility to ge

As a part of the GrönNano project at Luleå University of Technology, a sustainable drainage system, composed of infiltration surfaces and a wale,has been subject to hydrological measurements and modeling. The aim of this study was to identify the conditions under which it is possible to model the hydrological processes of that system adequately, using the two-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling soft

Ever since archeologists opened the resting place of Pharao Akhenaton (14th century B.C.) at Tel el-Amarna in the late nineteenth century there has been discussions on whether “The Great Hymn to Aten” – which was discovered there – has in someway influenced Psalm 104 in the Psalter of the Old Testament. It was suggested that the Great Hymn to Aten has had an direct literal influence on the psalm,

By answering the questions (1) What are the underlying reasons for choosing to migrate irregularly rather than regularly, and what are the implications of this choice? and (2) How and under what structural conditions are Cambodian migrants and their households using remittances? this study seeks to understand labour migration and development interactions in Cambodia, by examining why migration and

Abstract European blackberries constitute a polyploid complex of closely related microspecies, which includes species in Rubus sect. Rubus and Rubus sect. Corylifolii of Rubus subgenus Rubus. These species reproduce by facultative agamospermy. New microspecies evolve from time to time by hybridization between Rubus sect. Rubus and R. caesius or R. idaeus, or by sexual reproduction. Because of the

Supervisor: Anna Tegunimataka Assessor:Håkan Johansson The aim of this study was to investigate attitudes and trust towards the Swedish welfare state among people with a foreign heritage b

Sophisticated ecosystem models make it possible to evaluate the potential future changes of the carbon sequestration capacity of the terrestrial biosphere, as a response to the rapid environmental and climatic changes. Accuracy of model estimates is however strongly dependent on the parametrisation of driving parameters. A previous study of Wang et al. (2012) suggests, that the knowledge of the re

This thesis explores the European Commission’s proposal on General Reverse Charge Mechanism. VAT is a final tax on consumption. It is imposed on every transaction in the supply chain with the general aim of being deductible and thus being neutral for businesses with the right to deduct. The initial aim of the VAT system was to operate as if all the transactions occurred in one single country; howe

This work presents the design for a temperature drift-free path imbalanced ber interferometer for long-term laser frequency stabilization using coated bers with different thermal drift. For this purpose, single acrylate, dual acrylate, copper and aluminum coated bers are analyzed theoretically and experimentally regarding the thermal sensitivity of their optical path length. Experimental results w

The use of land in the Swedish city of Lund is a question that has attracted a lot of attention in the last couple of years. The city is in need of expansion but ideas of where and how to accomplish this has differed until the release of the latest general plan which dictates that all major developments should be realized by densification. The city is surrounded by high value farmland which needs

The aim of this thesis is to survey and map out what it means to believe in unexplainable phenomena, that is phenomena not scientifically explained, in a secular late modern society. The study is explorative and used methods are five focus group interviews supplemented with a questionnaire, performed in southwest of Sweden. Used theories in the inductive analysis to explain belief in unexplainable

When regulating a process, the system being sampled, one can often regard the output as white noise. Often occuring is a wish to obtain an output as close to an optimal value as possible. At the same time, however, you demand this optimal value not to be exceeded too often. Thus, when you decide your set-point you have to consider the value of the standard deviation of the white noise. If the stan
