I våldtäktsmål utgör ofta målsägandens berättelse en stor del av bevisningen eftersom bevisning i den här typen av mål kan vara svår att få fram. Därmed blir målsägandens trovärdighet av stor betydelse för utgången i målet. Redan i NJA 1980 s. 225 slog Högsta domstolen (HD) fast att det för än fällande dom inte räcker att målsäganden är mer trovärdig än den tilltalade. Efter detta mål har praxis uIn rape cases, the victim’s story often represents a crucial part of the evidence, since it can be difficult to produce other types of evidence in such cases.

Intensivt trafikerade vägar genererar dagligen ett brett spektrum av föroreningar, av vilka många är listade som prioriterade ämnen genom EU:s ramdirektiv för vatten. Vattendrag som korsas av vägarna exponeras av dessa föroreningar genom vatten- och luftburna processer, något som riskerar utarma vattenkvaliteten i recipienterna. Fyra vägbroar i Segeåns avrinningsområde (sydvästra Skåne, Sverige) Heavily trafficked roads continously generate a wide spectrum of pollutants, of which many are listed as priority substances according to the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). Watercourses that intersect with major roads are exposed to both airborne and waterborne traffic generated pollutants, possibly deteriorating the receiving waters. Four bridges within the Segeån catchment area (in the sou
