In modern legal systems, criminal responsibility is based on the concept of agency, which includes autonomy, intentionality, and individual accountability. In parallel, as technology advances and the use of artificial intelligence in our daily lives becomes more prevalent, important tasks are entrusted to AI-driven systems. As a result, AI will increasingly perform independently of humans. The mor

Mätning av partiklars och cellers akustiska egenskapar genom partikelspårningshastighet I många medicinska sammanhang är man intresserad av att kunna separera olika celltyper från varandra, exempelvis vita blodkroppar från ett blodprov eller insulinproducerande celler från bukspottskörteln. Det finns ett antal olika metoder för att genomföra denna separation. En tämligen ny metod bygger på akustoAcoustophoresis is a method to manipulate and move cells or particles suspended in a medium using acoustic waves. The speed of the acoustophoretic motion depends on the cells' acoustic mobility, i.e. their size, density and compressibility relative to the medium. Differences in acoustic mobility can be used to separate particles from each other. Separation is an important tool within biomedica

This thesis is based on a quantitative study that is conducted by comparing the fundraising effectiveness of humanitarian non-profit organisations (NPOs) to their program expenditure. The fundraising effectiveness of NPOs is derived from fundraising expenses over donations received. Using two hypotheses that were developed using literature revolving around capabilities, with a special focus on mar

We investigate the problem of risk averse robot path planning using the deep reinforcement learning and distributionally robust optimization perspectives. Our problem formulation involves modelling the robot as a stochastic linear dynamical system, assuming that a collection of process noise samples is available. We cast the risk averse motion planning problem as a Markov decision process and prop

Preventiva tvångsmedel är tvångsmedel med preventivt syfte som används, utan att en förundersökning är inledd, i underrättelseverksamhet. Säkerhetspolisen har i en hemställan från 2021 lagt fram önskemål om en författningsändring av lagen om åtgärder för att förhindra vissa särskilt allvarliga brott (preventivlagen) som skulle möjliggöra husrannsakan i underrättelseverksamhet. Den förslagna reformCoercive preventive measures are secret coercive measures used in intelligence, meaning that a pre-trial investigation has not yet been initiated. The Swedish Security Service has in a request from 2021 proposed an amendment of the Act on Measures to Prevent Certain Particularly Serious Crimes (2007:979), the Prevention Act, which would make it possible to conduct searches in intelligence. This wo

Bakgrund: Det verkar råda konsensus kring att tidig mobilisering är en viktig del i patientens återhämtning och det finns flera studier som understryker dess fördelar. Dock finns mindre forskning på hur patienterna upplever den tidiga mobiliseringen. Mer forskning skulle kunna innebära en ökad förståelse för vad dessa individer går igenom och därmed eventuellt förbättra patienters upplevelse av ti

Over the past years type 2 diabetes has become a complex consequence of better economic standards with growing economic and life quality costs. Prevention and deferral of type 2 diabetes through detection and preventive treatment of prediabetes will be crucial. The method of detection is therefore an important part in the prevention of type 2 diabetes. The aim of this essay was to analyze the co

VAD SKA VI MED KYLTORN TILL? Vad skulle kyltorn kunna ha med Sveriges hållbarhetsmål att göra? Enorma mängder energi går åt till att kyla processer och det är inte helt osannolikt att den går till kyltorn. Att kyla med kyltorn är effektivt, men värmen är bortkastad till luften. Om man kunde göra något med energin skulle det kunna liknas med en outnyttjad guldåder. Sverige följer åtagandet i AgendAchieving a sustainable Swedish industry will require better utilization of resources already available and already spent. Nationally, vast amounts of heat are released into the atmosphere and not made use of. If only a fraction of this energy could be exploited, the path to net zero emission society by 2045 would be thousands of tons worth of CO2 closer. In Sweden, 25% of excess heat delivered to

Miljö- och klimatpåverkan är idag centralt inom byggbranschen. För att uppnå de globala och nationella mål som existerar krävs fler åtgärder för att minska byggsektorns klimatpåverkan. Byggsektorn står idag för cirka 21 % av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser. Klimatberäkningar är ett sätt att uppmärksamma aktörer på den klimatpåverkan branschen utgör och öka motivationen till förändring. I dThe environmental and climate impact are today central within the building sector. To meet the global and national emission goals more actions need to be taken to reduce the impact of the building sector which is responsible for 21% of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Climate calculations are a great step in the right direction to draw attention to the impact a building has on the environm
