Medgärningsmannaskapet är en komplex rättsfigur som både tillämpats och kommit till uttryck på olika sätt. Det är en oförutsägbar konstruktion och därför intressant att studera och lätt att kritisera. Uppsatsens syfte är att redogöra för medgärningsmannaskapets rättsliga stöd, tillämpning och uttryck samt huruvida konstruktionen tillämpats i linje med en sådan medverkanslära som StraffrättskommiIn Sweden there is a complex legal construction called “medgärningsmannaskap” (perpetrators of parties to a crime) that is both applied and expressed in many different ways.

The purpose of this thesis is to describe on what legal foundation “medgärningsmannaskapet” is built upon, how it is
There is a demand for a more fluent and more efficient traffic. This can be achieved through more intelligent traffic light control. This thesis presents theory and an application in which people are tracked and their intentions to cross a crosswalk is predicted with a novel prediction algorithm based on Markov theory. The background segmentation and tracking algorithms was based on already known

In recent years, a new technology for location based functionality has emerged. The technology is called Bluetooth Low Energy, or Bluetooth Smart, and allows a device to emit low energy Bluetooth signals to its surroundings. When picked up by modern smart phones, these signals can be used to provide the user with a physical location. Unlike other positioning technologies, such as GPS, this technol
Background One of Alfa Laval’s factories in Lund, LA, has noticed that up to 50% of all order proposals suggested by their ERP system JEEVES is considered to be irrelevant and are subsequently disregarded by the purchasers.
