Enligt tidigare forskning inom vittnespsykologi minns människor handlingsrelaterad respektive deskriptiv information olika. De skattar också olika grad av konfidens beroende på informationstyp. Vidare visar forskning att konfidensskattningar hos ett vittne kan vara en viktig informationskälla vid korrekthetsbedömningar av de rapporterade minnena. Studier visar även att individer skiljer sig åt gälAccording to previous research, people remember action details and descriptive details differently. They also express different level of confidence for different kinds of memory details.

En ny lag ska införas i Sverige för att bland annat reglera private equity-investeringar – alltså investeringar i onoterade andelar. Lagen avser investeringar som sker genom att ansvaret för investerarnas medel överlåts till förvaltare för sådana förvärv. Lagstiftningen, som ställer nya krav på förvaltarna, har sin grund i de speciella risker som investeringarna kan medföra. Genom uppsatsen ska beA new law is to be enforced in Sweden in order to regulate investments in private equity – that is investments in unlisted companies. The law concerns investments which are placed through a trustee. It is motivated by the fact that the investor takes a special risk when the trustee places the capital of the investor in unlisted companies.

Den här uppsatsen behandlar huruvida den Europeiska byrån för förvaltningen av det operativa samarbetet vid Europeiska Unionens medlemsstaters yttre gränser, Frontex, genom sitt arbete orsakar hinder för flyktingars möjlighet att utnyttja sin rättighet att söka asyl. Då den Europeiska Unionen (EU) har ett pågående arbete för att harmonisera de nationella asylsystemen i medlemsstaterna blir det intThis paper addresses whether the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders, Frontex, through their work causes obstacles for refugees in exercising their right to seek asylum.

Denna uppsats syftar till att granska och diskutera kriminaliseringen av – och tillämpningen av straffrätten på – HIV-smittade personers sexuella kontakter där HIV-smitta överförs, eller riskerar att överföras, från en person till en annan. Upprätthållandet av ett straffhot avseende gärningar med grund i HIV är en kontroversiell fråga, i vart fall inom HIV/AIDS-arbetet på internationell nivå. SverThis paper aims to review and discuss the criminalization of – and the application of criminal law to – a HIV-infected person’s sexual contacts where HIV infection is transmitted, or may be transmitted from one person to another.
