Korruption är ett globalt och frekvent förekommande problem. Genom nationella rättsakter med långtgående extraterritoriell jurisdiktion som till exempel amerikanska The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, bekämpas korruption numera på ett gränsöverskridande tillvägagångssätt. Detta medför att företag vid till exempel inträde på en ny marknad omsorgsfullt måste undersöka under vilka lands lagar Corruption is a global problem. Through national legislation with far-reaching extraterritorial jurisdiction such as the U.S. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, fighting corruption has now a transnational approach. This means for example, that companies who will enter a new market must carefully examine, under which countries´ law a company can be considered to have a criminal responsibili

On July 1st, 2018, a reform regarding the Swedish sexual offence legislation came into force, which meant that the crime of rape in Chap. 6 § 1 of the Penal Code was constructed around the concept of voluntariness instead of around the concept of coercion. The new offence negligent rape was also introduced in Chap 6. § 1 a of the Penal Code. The paragraph regarding rape is still based on previous

The principle of legality in criminal law demands that there must be support in law for an act to constitute a crime and for penalties to be imposed. When the Swedish Supreme Court for the first time was to apply the range of punishment for murder since it changed in July 2014 the principle of legality was of major interest. The Supreme Court chose to ignore the change from 2014 on the grounds tha

I april 2009 presenterade den europeiska kommissionen det först utkastet för vad som slutligen skulle bli ”alternative investment fund managers” (AIFMD) direktivet.

Den första Dublinförordningens tillkomst var ett resultat av de institutionella förändringar som följde av Amsterdamfördragets ikraftträdande. Dess upprättande var också ett resultat av de slutsatser som det Europeiska rådet enades om under sitt möte i Tammerfors år 1999. Rådet beslutade då att unionens medlemsstater på sikt skulle ha ett gemensamt asylsystem. Dublinförordningen trädde i kraft åThe first Dublin Regulation was a result of those institutional changes that followed by the Amsterdam Treaty coming into force. The establishment was also a result of the European Council’s conclusions, from their meeting in Tampere in 1999. During the meeting The Council agreed to create a common European asylum system. The Dublin Regulation entered into force in 2003. The purpose of the regul

Gross negligence means that the perpetrator has been deliberately negligent, and in s

Since 2005 an alien can be granted residence permit if, after an overall assessment of the alien’s situation, there are such exceptionally distressing circumstances that he or she should be allowed to stay in Sweden. In July 2014 a provision came in force which stipulates that children may stay in Sweden if there are particularly distressing circumstances. The purpose of this thesis is to determin

Svenskt ställföreträdarskap för vuxna består av möjligheten att utse en god man eller förvaltare. Tidigare fanns en möjlighet att upprätta en fullmakt för någon som kunde hjälpa den enskilda även efter att denna p.g.a. ålder eller annan orsak inte längre var beslutsförmögen. Det förfarandet kritiserades på många håll, inte minst genom NJA 2015 s. 851. Av denna anledning pågår arbetet för att anta Swedish deputisation for adults comprises the possibility to designate an administrator or trustee. Earlier, there were a possibility to nominate a proxy agent to assist individuals with their affairs even after a they due to old age or any other reason not were able to. This procedure has become questioned, not least in the Swedish Supreme Court, NJA 2015 s. 851. Due to this reason, the Swedish g

Staden Frutal, centrerad i den brasilianska delstaten Minas Gerais är idag under stark urbanisering och utveckling. Målet med denna studie var att ta reda på om den starka urbaniseringen har påverkat närliggande vattensystem och dess vattenkvalité. I studien har vattenkvalitén i floden Frutal, en flod liggandes centralt i staden Frutal, jämförts med vattenkvalitén i floden Bebedouro, en lantlig flThis study highlights the key issues that urban river systems face due to urbanization. The city of Frutal (20°01' 32.17”S 48°56' 09.62” W) centered in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais is under urban expansion today. The aim of this study was to compare two rivers in this area, the Frutal River, an urban located river, with the Bebedouro River, which is a rural river approximately 3 km

In July 2014 new law provisions were introduced to strengthen the protection against child marriage in Sweden and as a result the possibility to grant persons under the age of 18 permission to marry was abolished. The provisions regarding recognition of foreign marriages were also further limited in cases where at least one of the parties had ties to Sweden and was under the age of 18 at the time

Antalet medborgare inom Europeiska unionen som nyttjar den fria rörligheten ökar konstant. Fler och fler familjer har på något sätt en internationell koppling, ett vanligt exempel är äktenskap mellan två personer med olika medborgarskap. När vardagslivet blivit mer globaliserat och oberoende av nationsgränser blir det ibland problematiskt då lagstiftningen inte anpassats därefter. För bara ett par

Den svenska offentliga sektorn har under de senaste decennierna varit föremål för en rad förändringar vars konsekvenser satt sina spår i många av dess verksamheter. Förändringsprocessens startskott skedde redan på 1980-talet och den offentliga sektorn präglas sedan dessa allt mer av ökad privatisering, konkurrensutsättning, (de)centralisering och ökade krav på effektivisering. Samtliga ovanstående

We sought to identify novel pharmacogenetic markers associated with cardiovascular outcomes in patients with hypertension on antihypertensive therapy. We genotyped a 1:4 case:control cohort (n=1345) on the Illumina HumanCVD Beadchip from the INternational VErapamil SR-Trandolapril STudy (INVEST), where participants were randomized to a -blocker strategy or a calcium channel blocker strategy. Genom

The neurodegenerative Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by a polyglutamine (polyQ) amplification in the huntingtin protein (HTT). Currently there is no effective therapy available for HD; however, several efforts are directed to develop and optimize HTT-lowering methods to improve HD phenotypes. To validate these approaches, there is an immediate need for reliable, sensitive, and easily accessib

Background: Patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) may have a low burden of atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction is an early stage of atherosclerosis and endothelial function is previously studied in smaller CCHD groups with different techniques and variable results. We aimed to examine endothelial function and carotid atherosclerosis in a larger group of CCHD patients. Methods

Trisomy 8 (+8) is a common cytogenetic aberration in acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, the impact of +8 in pediatric AML is largely unknown. We retrospectively investigated 609 patients from the NOPHO-AML database to determine the clinical and cytogenetic characteristics of +8 in pediatric AML and to investigate its prognostic impact. Complete cytogenetic data were available in 596 patients (
