At the very core of this thesis is the motivation to better understand how the seemingly inherent connection between powerful social agents and judges is produced and reproduced. The thesis also seeks to contribute to the view that who judges matters. This is not only true for the identity of the institutions they comprise, but for the individuals they adjudicate on behalf of. As a result, there e

Uppsatsen använder sig av en rättsanalytisk metod med ett barnrättsperspektiv för att undersöka hur barns rättigheter beaktats i förarbetena SOU 2021:68 och prop. 2022/23:53 om Skärpta straff för brott i kriminella nätverk gällande lagförslagen kring höjning av straffminimum av rånbrottet i 8 kap. 5 § BrB samt utvidgning av häktningspresumtionen i 24 kap. 1 § 2 st. RB. Detta för att synliggöra hurThis essay uses a legal analytical method with a children rights perspective to examine how children’s rights have been considered in the preparatory works SOU 2021:68 and prop. 2022/23:53, regarding that for more crimes, detention will be presumed and an increase of the minimum penalty for robbery. The examination aims to highlight how the legislator considers children’s rights in preparatory wor

Varumärken är av stor vikt för företag, då de utgör en ekonomisk resurs, kvalitetsstämpel och förmedlar ett budskap. Av naturliga skäl finns det därför ett intresse att registrera varumärken, för att erhålla de förmåner, såsom bl.a. den ensamrätt, en sådan registrering innebär. När en varumärkesansökan inkommer genomför registreringsmyndigheten en prövning mot bl.a. absoluta registreringshinder. ETrademarks are of great importance to companies as they constitute a financial resource, a promise of quality and convey a message. Therefore, there is an obvious interest in registering trademarks to obtain benefits, such as exclusive rights, which such registration entails. When a trademark application is received, the registration authority carries out an examination against, among other things

Artificiell intelligens (AI) är inget nytt fenomen, men förkom redan på 1950 talet. Mer nyligen under 2014 redovisades ett nytt ramverk för generativ AI. Systemet kan generera realistiska bilder som simulerar både konstverk och människor. Fördelarna med AI går inte att förneka, såsom att förbättra våra liv. AI kan däremot leda till oönskade utvecklingar. Under 2023 upptäckte organisationer som arbArtificial intelligence (AI) is not a new phenomenon but has been in existence since the 1950s. More recently in 2014 a new framework for generative AI was developed. The system can generate realistic images that imitate both works of art and people. The benefits of AI are undeniable, and that AI has the capacity to greatly improve our lives. However, AI may also result in unwelcome developments.

Den svenska nationella lönebildningen kännetecknas av att det är arbetsmarknadens parter som reglerar villkoren för lönesättningen med kollektivavtalet som främsta regleringsinstrument. Utmärkande är en individuell lönesättningsmetod baserad på arbetstagarens prestation och förmåga. Inom ramen för EU-samarbetet har löneförhållanden länge betraktats som en fråga förbehållen medlemsstaterna. Detta kThe Swedish national wage formation is characterized by the fact that it is the social partners who regulate the conditions for wage setting, with the collective agreement as the primary regulatory instrument. Distinctive is an individual wage-setting method based on the employee’s performance and ability. Within the framework of the EU cooperation, wage conditions have long been considered as a m

Ovid’s Epistulae Heroidum is unique in the way it portrays the female point of view in many ancient myths where the women’s perspective previously has not been considered. This essay focuses on four of mythological women’s letters from the Heroides; Phyllis, Dido, Deianira and Canace – all of whom commit suicide. The purpose of the essay is to discern the reason for their suicide as well as to exa

Försörjning av varor och tjänster är en grundläggande del av ett fungerande samhälle, och stora delar av denna försörjning sker genom näringslivet och kritiska infrastrukturer. Hot i form av klimatförändringar och antagonistiska handlingar är centrala aspekter att beakta i utformningen av viktiga samhällsfunktioner för att kunna förebygga och hantera kriser. Under de senaste 10-15 åren har klimataThe supply of goods and services is a fundamental part of a functional society, and most of this supply is driven by businesses and critical infrastructures. In the shaping of vital societal functions, threats like climate change and antagonistic acts are central aspects to consider to prevent and manage potential crises. In the last 10-15 years, climate change adaption has become a tool for mitig

The climate crisis in one of the major challenges of our time. The role of trade in this context is a contested issue, both good and bad effects are plausible. One important question in this context is whether it is possible to increase the chance that trade does not have a negative impact on the environment by including environmental provisions in trade agreements. While this might be possible, i

This text aims to study the processes that took place between the Church of Sweden and the state between the years 1995-2000, when the Church of Sweden’s parishes continued to be responsible for maintaining cemeteries. Through an empirical research method a committee directive, an official report by the government, a government bill, a report from the constitutional committee and the motions that

Public diplomacy, public relations, propaganda, and strategic narratives are all under the ‘umbrella’ of soft-power and nowadays’ international relations. Strategic narratives currently represent one of the most essential tools that political actors use to increase their influence on local and foreign audiences, gain public support, and lastly achieve their foreign policy objectives. This disser

Bergförankring kan användas för att hantera vertikal dragbelastning. När bergförankringar utsätts för dragbelastning behöver flera olika brottmoder beaktas vid dimensionering. I många projekt i Sverige leder dimensioneringen för brottmoden bergkonsbrott till långa förankringslängder. Bergkonsbrott innebär att förankringen är intakt och att berget går till brott runt förankringen i form av en kon. Rock anchors can be used to handle vertical tensile loads. When rock anchors are subjected to tensile forces there are several different failure modes that should be considered during design. In many projects designing for the failure mode called rock mass uplift leads to long anchorage lengths. Rock mass uplift failure means that the anchor stays intact and a rock cone is formed and lifted out of

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a vital part of product development, and understanding the sources and causes of the emissions can facilitate tremendously in reaching compliance requirements and reduce the work needed for troubleshooting. At Axis Communications, where this thesis has taken place, the knowledge of EMC is an important part of their work and they aspire to improve further. Thi

MRI är en icke-invasiv diagnostisk procedur som kan ge radiologer väsentlig strukturell eller funktionell information om organ. Ungefär som vid fotografering kan rörelse under förvärvet öka risken för dålig bildkvalitet. Medicinska bildbehandlingsmetoder är inte immuna mot detta problem. Bildtagningstiden varierar beroende på de fysikprinciper som utnyttjas för att ta bilden. MRI är känt för sina The framework for a fat navigator-based prospective motion correction (PMC) is already embedded on the 7 T scanner at Hvidovre hospital. This framework is dubbed iMOCO, and it tackles the motion artifact problem by registering fat navigators after each k-space readout train to some reference fat navigator taken at the start of the scan with rigid body transformation parameters. A grade of motion i

A roof box is an essential part of a skiing trip by car, but many users find it frustrating and time consuming to use. Interviews with users showed that they find it difficult to load and unload the roof box, since it is too high up for most people. They also expressed that it is too heavy to lift the skis above their heads and that they find it problematic that they are not able to see the inside

Energy efficiency in buildings can be understood elaborately by evaluating its operational and embodied energy. Embodied energy is the sum of all the energy that is used to produce materials in a building construction. This study assesses various building parameters e.g. U-value of the materials, Window to Floor Area Ratio (WFR), location, etc. that affect the operational and embodied energy and u
