En viktig utgångspunkt i straffrätten är det individuella ansvaret. Människor begår däremot ofta brott tillsammans. Denna uppsats handlar hur det straffrättsligt bör hanteras när flera personer begår brott gemensamt. Syftet med uppsatsen är att behandla den rubriceringsproblematik som kan uppstå när en tilltalad står åtalad för ett brott som är begånget i gemenskap. Begreppslig klarhet är genomgThe foundation of Criminal liability is the condition that everyone is responsible for their own actions, and those actions alone.

This paper presents a stochastic model for Meningococcal disease. Mathematical models for diseases are an important tool in population dynamics, and their results carry real-world implications as they guide policies and vaccination strategies. While the systems being modelled are generally stochastic in nature, deterministic models are often used, possibly to the detriment of accuracy. In this pro

This master thesis project has developed a method for a six-legged robot to traverse uneven terrains. From a previous project, the robot already possessed basic locomotion which had to be extensively redesigned. Several new subsystems have been introduced, such as a continuous balancing system, a system estimating the slope of the ground the robot is walking on, and method for detecting when the r

Plaster som används för dagligt bruk består till stor del av fossila ämnen. Med ökad efterfrågan och produktion för varje år, är en hållbar utveckling för plaster en växande utmaning. Ett av de stora problemen är förbrukningen av de icke förnyelsebara fossila källorna, vilket medför att förr eller senare behövs alternativ till de konventionella plasterna. Med detta problem i åtanke, så fokuserar dPlastics for everyday use are made from fossile resources. With the demand for plastics increasing every year, a sustainable development for plastic products is a growing challenge. A major issue is the depletion of the non-renewable fossile resources, which means that sooner or later alternatives to the conventional plastics are needed. With this problem in mind, this work focuses on the developm

The present customer based and data driven world of business, together with the evolving social and technological trends continue to drive product complexity and product variety to a new height, one that is characterized by product customization. In the product realization pro-cess, the assembly floor remains the most vital part of the manufacturing process; to cope with the rigorous demands of pr

Capitalizing reforms would come to China in 1978, and to the U.S.S.R. in 1985. While the Chinese reforms have been uninterrupted to the modern day, similar reforms in the Soviet Union would lead to its collapse, and to the adoption of capitalism by the Russian Federation. These 'communist' economic reforms were political movements informed by ideology, but China’s more effective reforms re

This study is concerned with the topic of sentence-final intonation in wh-questions, yes/no- questions and declaratives. The aim of the study is to investigate whether native speakers of Swedish can recognize these sentence types in standard Japanese by listening to the intonation alone. In addition, whether exposure to the language affects the ability to distinguish these sentence types is invest
