Införandet av en så kallad samtyckeslag har varit kraftigt omdebatterat i över två decenniers tid. Den 1 juli 2018 infördes en våldtäktsbestämmelse som baseras på frivillighet. I och med detta utvidgades våldtäktsbestämmelsen på så sätt att det inte längre fordras tvång eller utnyttjande av en särskilt utsatt situation för att straffansvar ska aktualiseras. Syftet med den nya våldtäktsbe-stämmelseThe adoption of a so-called consent-based rape law has been heavily debated for over two decades. On July 1st, 2018 a rape clause based on voluntarism was introduced. As a result, the rape regulation was extended in such a way that it no longer requires force, or exploitation of a particular vulnerable situa-tion, for criminal liability to occur. The purpose of the new rape regulation is to protec

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur svensk rätt reglerar envarsgripande. Envarsgripande innebär, enkelt uttryckt, rätten för varje individ att, under vissa förutsättningar, gripa en annan person. Detta är något som samhället, enligt den svenska lagstiftaren, principiellt sett bör uppmuntra. Samtidigt bör kommas ihåg att brottsbekämpning främst är statens uppgift och straffprocessuella tvåThe purpose of this paper is to examine how Swedish law regulates citizen’s arrest. Put simply, Citizen’s arrest means the right for every individual to, under certain conditions, apprehend another person. According to the Swedish legislator this is something that society in principle should encourage. However, one should keep in mind that law enforcement is primarily a task for the state. Furthe

In this project I have created a practical, decorative and educational system of HDPE tiles and connections as a material for walls and floors in climate-smart housings. In doing so, I want to send a message about changing the perception of plastic as a disposable material and minimize the amount of plastic that ends up in the wrong places. To make the message credible, I analysed politics, arts

The aim of this study was to analyze the discourse of the theories by John Gray about relationships between men and women. The basis of this study was to analyze the social structures in our society today. I wanted to answer the questions following: In what way does John Gray construct male and female qualities in the literature? In what kind of discourse does John Gray discuss love? And how the t

PEJL PÅ RASTANDE FLYTTFÅGLAR Varje vår och höst passeras Falsterbo av miljontals flyttfåglar. Många mellanlandar här för att fylla på sina bränsledepåer och vila upp sig inför nästa etapp på resan. Frågor som är intressanta inom flyttfågelforskningen är bland annat hur länge fåglarna rastar och om längden på vistelsen är kopplad till art, ålder, kön, fettreserver eller flyttningsstrategi (i det hABSTRACT The aim of this study was to examine autumnal stopover strategies of migratory passerines, with the main focus on stopover duration, departure time and departure direction in relation to biometrics (age, sex and fat reserves), different migratory strategies (long, short-to-medium and partial migration) and weather conditions. During the autumn migration season of 2010, in conjunction wi

In this Master Thesis different methods for measuring and evaluating surface textures have been investigated and evaluated. A method for digitizing textures called photometric stereo have also been studied. The purpose has been to find methods that can replace or supplement the current method of visual inspection used for surface texture studies by IKEA of Sweden. The suggested methods are going t

Objective: Around 30% of people with schizophrenia are refractory to antipsychotic treatment (treatment-resistant schizophrenia). Abnormal structural neuroimaging findings, in particular volume and thickness reductions, are often described in schizophrenia. Novel biomarkers of active brain pathology such as neurofilament light chain protein are now expected to improve current understanding of psyc

Background: Will being a caregiver further impact the health of a group already at risk of adverse health due to old age? This study aimed to answer the questions whether short- and long-term healthcare consumption and mortality differ between informal caregivers and non-caregivers and between high-burden and low-burden informal caregivers. Method: The study population consisted of 423 caregivers

Background: The increased prevalence of atopic diseases may be due to lifestyle changes affecting our exposure to microbes. We investigated the association between infections, fever, and atopic diseases in a large international birth cohort setting. Methods: 3842 children at genetic risk for type 1 diabetes were followed prospectively for the first 10 years for the occurrence of infections and ato

BACKGROUND: Mental health problems are the main cause of sick leave in today's working age population. Employers are responsible for their employees' work environment and preventing work-related illnesses, but their knowledge regarding mental health problems is lacking. Employer beliefs and support strategies need further exploration. OBJECTIVE: To explore employers' beliefs, knowledge and strateg

Applying for ethical review is common among many social scientists today, even for projects very far from the bio-medical origins and design of the review process. This article critically discusses the clash between ethical review and ethnography in a Swedish context. It is argued that today’s committee-driven and form-based review fits poorly with research built on flexible, pragmatic and emergen

According to a widely cited finding by Ellis and Stark (1978 Perception 7 575-581), the duration of eye fixations is longer at the instant of perceptual reversal of an ambiguous figure than before or after the reversal. However, long fixations are more likely to include samples of an independent random event than are short fixations. This sampling bias would produce the pattern of results also whe

This thesis consists of five papers concerned with the modeling of stochastic signals, as well as deterministic signals in stochastic noise, exhibiting different kinds of structure. This structure is manifested as the existence of finite-dimensional parameterizations, and/or in the geometry of the signals' spectral representations. The two first papers of the thesis, Papers A and B, consider the m

The aim of this mixed-method study was to explore the trajectories of leaving home, and views and experiences among children and youth in the Kagera region in Tanzania, who have lived on the streets or been domestic workers. The main results showed that orphanhood and mistreatment were the main reasons for leaving home: few children lived with their parents before they left, and leaving home was a

Aplastic anemia is a rare life-threatening disease. However, since the introduction of immunosuppressive therapy and allogeneic stem cell transplantation, the outcome has improved considerably, and the 5-year survival is reported to be 70–80% in selected patient cohorts. Yet, contemporary population-based data on incidence and survival are lacking. We performed a national retrospective study to de

Background: Quality of supervision is a major predictor for successful PhD projects. A survey showed that almost all PhD students in the Health Sciences in Denmark indicated that good supervision was important for the completion of their PhD study. Interestingly, approximately half of the students who withdrew from their program had experienced insufficient supervision. This led the Research Educa

We have examined whether in vivo exposure to the glutamate analogue, kainic acid, induces cell loss through apoptosis and/or through necrosis. The vulnerability of rabbit retinal cells was evaluated by routine histopathology. The DNA fragmentation was examined using an in situ method (TUNEL: TdT-mediated biotin-dUTP nick-end labelling) and agarose gel electrophoresis of extracted retinal DNA. Reti

Excitatory amino acids are implicated in the development of neuronal cell damage following periods of reversible cerebral ischemia or insulin-induced hypoglycemic coma. To explore the importance of glutamate receptor activation in the posthypoglycemic phase, we exposed rats to 20 min of insulin-induced severe hypoglycemia. The rats were treated immediately after the hypoglycemic insult with four r
