Beskattning av den digitala ekonomin har varit en av de mest centrala delarna i den internationella skattekontexten under det senaste decenniet. Digitaliseringen har gett upphov till nya affärsmodeller som har lett till ett ökat tryck på det internationella skattesystemet som inrättades på 1920-talet. Eftersom dagens internationella skatteregler inte har anpassats till den digitala affärsmiljön, fThe taxation of the digital economy has been the leading topic in the area of international taxation in the last decade. The ongoing digitalisation has introduced new business models which have led to increased pressure on the international tax system, which was established in the 1920s. As today’s international tax rules have not kept pace with the unique conditions linked to digital business mod

Den hållningen har kritiserats av bland annat Madeleine Leijonhufvud eftersom två olika skyddsintressen regleras generellt i en och samma bestämmelse. Vidare har lagstiftningen kritiserats eftersom korruption inom offentlig verksamhet har ansetts vara mer allvarliThe Swedish bribery legislation currently makes no difference between bribery within the public or private sector. This has been criticized by, among others, Madeleine Leijonhufvud because two different interests are protected under the same provision. Furthermore, the legislation has been criticized because corruption within the public sector has been considered more serious than within the priva

This makes it important to understand how planners translate academic theories into strategies for local planning. By researching the municipality of Borås, Sweden, through i

Sexualbrottsmål där barn är målsägande hanteras i viss mån annorlunda än sexualbrottsmål där målsägande är vuxen. Bland annat görs avsteg från vissa processuella principer till förmån för barnets hälsa men även andra faktorer inverkar på hur domstolen hanterar den bevisning som presenteras. Eftersom rätten består av människor har också subjektiva uppfattningar alltid inflytande på bevisvärderingenCases of sexual abuse are in some aspects conducted differently in the judicial system when the plaintiff is a child, compared to the same type of crimes against an adult. Some procedural principles are put aside in favor of the mental health of the child and other factors affect the manner in which the evidence is treated. Furthermore, as the court consists of people, the subjective brain will al

It is projected that by 2050 two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities. There is a need for well-planned cities that can handle the rapid population growth. The focus of most studies has been on the people living in the area, whereas the role of the built environment has not received much attention. Changes in the physical environment are, however, pointed out as one of the stra

In response to sea level rise, municipalities in Sweden are already underway in the process of constructing seawalls to protect infrastructure and communities. However, these adaptive measures are not always well received in the communities they are intended to protect.
