Straffvärde och proportionalitet

Från början av 1990- talet har straffrättsbedömningen gått från att vara inriktad på allmän prevention och individuella omständigheter till att vara kopplad till brottet och vad som anses vara rättvist. En rättvisebedömning kan skilja sig på många sätt, därför finns det strukturer för domstolen hur handlingar ska värderas och vilka omständigheter som ska anses vara av betydelse. En bedömning av stFrom the beginning of the 1990 - century penal assessment went from being focused on general prevention and individual circumstances to be linked to the crime and what is considered fair. There are structures on how the court should value the documents, and which factors that should be considered to be of importance, thus, a fair assessment can differ in many ways. An assessment of the penalty fo

The inoperability I/O model - A risk-based approach for identifying key economic and infrastructure systems in a Swedish context

In this thesis the inoperability I/O model has been used in a case study to evaluate if it is applicable to Swedish conditions and if it is a suitable approach of describing interdependencies. The inoperability I/O model can, given a perturbation from one or more sectors, estimate the ripple effects measured in terms of industry inoperability and economic losses. The model approximates physical in

Strategiska förutsättningar för prissättningsstrategier

Exponering för vibrationer inom väg- och anläggningsarbete. En studie av förebyggande arbetsmiljöarbete inom ett byggföretag

Exposure to vibrations from tools and machines used in construction work can induce damages to the human body. Oscillations around a fix point with a certain direction, frequency and magnitude describe the phenomenon vibrations. Their influence is generally expressed as acceleration [m/s2]. Furthermore, vibrations are separated in two categories; hand‐arm vibrations or whole body vibrations. Expos

Glued laminated timber space truss systems

Space structures are a leaf taken from Nature. Natural forms possess exceptional rigidity and use minimum materials to maximum structural advantage. To quote Makowski, "Natural forms act in the direction of minimum effort". Man has not been slow in copying these examples drawn from Nature. The main structural aim which drives the use of this construction system is to use the least materi
