Det senaste året har flertalet våldtäktsmål fått stor uppmärksamhet i media. Ett resonemang i en dom ifrån Umeå tingsrätt angående gärningsmannens uppfattning av en situation, den subjektiva delen av uppsåtet, kritiserades särskilt hårt. Domstolen diskuterade på vilka olika sätt man kunnat uppfatta en målsägandes kroppsspråk när hon, då den tilltalade sökte föra in en vinflaska i hennes underliv,

I alla mål om vårdnad, boende och umgänge ska barnets bästa vara avgörande. Det stadgas i 6 kap. 2 a § föräldrabalken. Begreppet barnets bästa är en princip med lång tradition i svensk rätt och dess innehåll har varierat över tid och rum. Det är vidare ett öppet begrepp i syfte att i varje enskilt fall kunna göra en individualiserad bedömning. Det är således av vikt att alltid hålla begreppet à jo

Frågan om hur uppsåtsbedömningen ska göras på självförvållat berusade personer är erkänt problematisk, och de olika lösningar som finns tycks aldrig bereda en fullständig tillfredställelse. Just balansgången mellan å ena sidan effektivitetsskälen och å andra sidan rättsäkerheten har visat sig svår att gå, då de är två motstående intressen som båda behöver tillgodoses för att uppnå en fullgod lösniThe question about how the subjective test of intention shall be done on self-induced intoxicated persons has been recognized as problematic, and the various solutions available never seem to give sufficient satisfaction. Especially the balancing act between so called efficiency reasons and on the other hand the rule of law has been proved difficult, as they are conflicting interests that both mus

Den här uppsatsen handlar om preventivt självförsvar och huruvida detta är tillåtet enligt folkrätten, särskilt med utgångspunkt i FN-stadgan. Preventivt självförsvar kan förklaras som rätten att slå till mot en fiende som planerar att angripa en själv, innan denna fiende hunnit genomföra sin attack. Idén om preventivt självförsvar inom folkrätt är inget nytt, ledare över hela världen har genom ti

Ett omdebatterat ämne inom svensk rätt är på vilket sätt de så kallade utnyttjandefallen, då gärningsmannen utnyttjat att en person befunnit sig i en särskilt utsatt situation (tidigare hjälplöst tillstånd), regleras i svensk rätt. Frågan huruvida den svenska, tvångsbaserade våldtäktslagstiftningen ger ett heltäckande skydd i dessa situationer, eller om en samtyckesreglering bör införas har diskutA heavily disputed area of Swedish law is how legislation shall regulate the situation where a sexual offender has taken advantage of a victim’s especially vulnerable position (earlier helpless condition). The question concerning the Swedish rape legislation is today of a force-based kind and it has been argued whether such legislation can offer a complete protection in such situations or whether

This bachelor thesis is looking at the swedish welfare-state after the past decades of liberalization of swedish politics.

This thesis takes the current Swedish mining-boom and the conflicts it entails as its point of departure. More precisely, it investigates the question of how to understand the position of the political establishment, defined as the present right-wing government, the Social Democratic Party and the mining-company organization SveMin, in relation to the Swedish mining-boom. This is done through a cr

I Sverige lever idag ungefär 365 000 personer med diabetes. Av dessa beräknas 85 % ha typ II-diabetes. Socialstyrelsen skriver i sina rekommendationer att hälso- och sjukvården bör ”erbjuda råd och stöd för ökad fysisk aktivitet till patienter med typ II-diabetes.” men tillhandahåller inte rekommendationer för hur patienten skall träna för att på bästa sätt främja sin hälsa genom fysisk aktivitet.

Sweden is a developed democracy that has signed many international treaties and has worked hard to promote the rights of persons in vulnerable situations. There is however, a group of persons that appear to have been neglected. In Sweden, 12 000 individuals every year, are subjected to compulsory psychiatric care (CPC). The current piece of national legislation on CPC is difficult in regards to t

I Sverige beräknas 15-20 % av barnen vara överviktiga och 3-5 % feta. En kvalitativ studie genomfördes med syftet att beskriva BVC-sjuksköterskans upplevelser av vilken vägledning och vilket stöd som ges till föräldrar vars barn är överviktiga. Urvalet bestod av 10 BVC-sjuksköterskor och datainsamlingen var intervju. Intervjutexterna analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade a

Popular science summary Ecosystem seasonality in climate models Climate change has a major effect on the timing, intensity and duration of seasonal events in Earth´s ecosystems. These changes may remain undetected when analyzing them on an annual scale, as current climate models usually do. Therefore it is necessary to investigate the impact of ecosystem seasonality on climate processes to impr

Background: The ability to hear changes in a sound envelope is called temporal resolution and is assumed to have a key role in binaural speech segmentation. The development of temporal resolu-tion is not fully explored, but studies indicate that it develops into adult-like efficiency at approxi-mately 8-13 years of age, while binaural speech segmentation has an extended development up until approx

The road haulage sector experiences a considerable amount of inefficiency, characterised by sub-optimal utilisation of an individual vehicle’s cubic load fill and weight hauling capacity. This study firstly aims to understand why – despite its evident economic and environmental cost – this phenomenon has existed over the years. Next, an overview of initiatives and opportunities for improving freig

Popular science Carbon cycle has great importance in all time scales for its inter-connected relation and response with climate system. Increased anthropogenic emission of CO2 is alleged to impact the climate system in the future, which will affect the feedback between carbon cycle and climate change. In this project, a climate-carbon cycle feedback analysis has been conducted by using long simula

Concerns about the decline in knowledge concerning food growing stemming stem from the Green Revolution, as well as the rapid urbanization since the beginning of the 20th Century. There is a gap in the literature about community gardening in industrialized English-speaking countries, and since sharing of knowledge is a well-documented achievement of community gardens, the aim of this thesis is to
