I det internationella samarbetet som rör utlämning på grund av brott finns den folkrättsliga principen aut dedere aut judicare. Den innebär att om en stat vägrar att utlämna en person, ofta mot bakgrund av att personen är medborgare i den staten, kan staten åta sig att lagföra personen för den brottslighet hen är misstänkt för. Uppsatsens fokus har varit att utreda ifall en sådan lagföring regelmäThe principle aut dedere aut judicare can be found in international cooperation concerning extradition for criminal offences. The meaning of the principle is that if a state refuses to extradite a person, often on the grounds that the person is a citizen of that state, the state can undertake to prosecute the person for the crime he or she is suspected of. The focus of this thesis has been to inve

I denna uppsats undersöks det så kallade parodiundantaget i den svenska upphovsrätten. Parodiundantaget syftar till att parodier av upphovsrättsskyddade verk ska vara tillåtna. Det finns inget uttryckligt parodiundantag i den svenska rätten och rättsläget påstås vara på oklart. Ämnet har varit föremål för debatt under den senaste tiden där parodiundantagets eventuella oklarheter varit i centrum av

För att bilda ett privat aktiebolag i Sverige krävs det att grundarna tillskjuter 25 000 kr, enligt Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551). Det lagstadgade kravet på aktiekapital har främst ansetts varit motiverat med hänsyn till dess funktion som borgenärsskydd, men numera anser den svenska lagstiftaren att det är aktiekapitalets funktion som seriositetsspärr som är av störst betydelse. Mot dessa funktioner

Denna uppsats syftar att undersöka gällande rätt vid surrogatarrangemang samt att redogöra för principen om barnets bästa med fokus på barnkonventionen. Principen om barnets bästa är en allmän princip som förekommer inom svensk rätt och i barnkonventionen. Surrogatmödraskap innebär att en kvinna bär ett barn med avsikten att lämna det ifrån sig till efter barnets födsel. Svensk rätt tillåter int

T cells constitute a heterogenous population of lymphocytes. Their unifying property is that they express surface bound antigen-receptors, called T cell receptors (TCRs). The TCR is a heterodimer composed of either TCRalpha and beta chain proteins (alphabeta TCR) or gamma and delta chain proteins (gammadelta TCR). Depending on which TCR isotype that is expressed, the T cells are divided into alpha

The present thesis deals with various types of palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes and their use in homogeneous catalysis. The focus has been devoted to mechanistic investigations concerning the Stille and Heck reactions and studies under both catalytic and stoichiometric conditions were conducted. As a stoichiometric probe for studying the transmetallation step in the Stille reaction the pl

This thesis aims to elucidate the link between abiotic and biotic effects and biogeographical contingencies, eco-evolutionary assembly processes, and community structure in a spatially explicit metacommunity framework. To this end, we used structure analysis of naturally sampled and experimentally manipulated marine bacterial communities and mathematical eco-evolutionary modeling and simulations o

It is a contested question in contemporary theories of religion whether the concept of religion can be defined in a sound way or not. Many theorists maintain that a universal but delimiting definition is impossible. In this study, by contrast, it is argued that a conceptual analysis of religion that holds universally is perfectly possible because the following thesis can be seen as a necessary and

During development, information about the three-dimensional shape and mechanical properties of the body is laid down in the synaptic connectivity of sensorimotor systems through adaptive mechanisms. In spinal reflex systems, this enables the fast transformation of complex sensory information into adequate correction of movements. In this thesis, it is shown, in a computer simulation, that an unsup

The work presented in the thesis “RNA in model lipid membranes- interactions in bulk and at surfaces” aims to characterize the interaction between RNA and model membranes with different properties as well as to determine if ssRNA associate with model membranes in different ways. Several techniques have been used to characterize these systems, including quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation

Analysis of high-frequency QRS components (HF-QRS) is one of the emerging methods for increasing the diagnostic performance of the electrocardiogram (ECG). The overall objective of the thesis is to investigate whether analysis of HF-QRS has the ability to provide information about ischemic heart disease and so serve as an adjunctive diagnostic tool in several clinical situations. Investigation of

The purpose of this study was to investigate how total body protein and its fraction of body weight (body protein fraction) change in cancer patients during different anti-tumor treatments, and to see if these changes have any clinical significance in the form of prognostic value or correlation with disease course and tumor response. In 84 patients, 28 with lung cancer, 24 with gastrointestinal t

Beginning with the notion that spatial and material qualities of architecture set limits and create conditions for how we make use of it, the overall aim and ambition of this thesis is to develop this notion and to contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationships that are produced between the materiality of architecture and a bodily appropriation of it. To investigate this the thesis esta

Telomeres are the end-structures of linear chromosome which are crucial for maintaining genome integrity. The telomeres prevent the DNA-repair machinery from recognizing the chromosome ends as double-strand breaks and from end-to-end fusions. The telomeres are composed by short repetitive units of TG-rich DNA and associated specialized telomere-binding proteins. Due to that replication only can

Vasodilator responses to endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) and anandamide in isolated arteries were investigated. A combination of the potassium channel blockers charybdotoxin and apamin inhibits EDHF-mediated relaxations. Experiments in which charybdotoxin or apamin was substituted with other potassium channel inhibitors indicated that small- and intermediate-conductance calcium-a

Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) refers to heart rate variations due to respiration, which results from parasympathetic nervous system activity mediated via the tenth cranial nerve, the vagus. Thus, the magnitude of RSA is considered as an index of cardiac vagal tone. This thesis explored RSA during emotional responding in healthy women and men. In the first two studies fear-relevant pictorial s
