Port state control plays a central role in maritime safety and protection of marine environment and it becomes more significant in protection of seafarers’ rights. This thesis integrates discussion and consideration of different legal aspect of PSC in order to present a comprehensive view on it. First, the legal foundation of port state jurisdiction is examined. It is explored through its elements

En fjärdedel av de homosexuella, bisexuella och transpersoner som deltagit i en stor undersökning år 2013 hade blivit utsatta för hot och våld. Personerna utsätts bland annat för att de inte tillhör normen. Enligt straffskärpningsregeln i 29 kap. 2 § 7 p. BrB är det en försvårande omständighet vid bedömningen av straffvärdet om ett motiv för en brottslig gärning varit att kränka en person, folkgA quarter of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons participating in a survey in 2013 had been exposed to threat and violence. One of the reasons for them being targeted was that they do not conform to the norm. According to the penalty enhancement provision in Chapter 29, Section 2, Subsection 7 of the Swedish Penal Code if a motive for a crime is to aggrieve a person, ethnic group o

En stor andel av alla brottslingar som kommer i kontakt med den svenska kriminalvården lider av något slags missbruk. Kriminaliteten har ofta ett samband med missbruket och personen kan exempelvis ha begått brottet under någon slags påverkan eller i syfte att anskaffa sig droger. Såväl samhället som den dömde har ett stort intresse av att behandla ett eventuellt missbruk inom ramen för ett fängelsA large percentage of all the criminals who come in contact with the Swedish correctional system suffer from some kind of substance abuse. The criminality is often related to the abuse and the person may have committed such offense under some kind of influence or to obtain the substance. Both society at large and the offender may have a strong interest in the treatment of abuse in connection with

Den här uppsatsen söker att kartlägga doktrin som behandlar utvecklingen av Frontex. Jag hävdar att litteraturen är brokig och innehåller flera perspektiv med olika juridiska implikationer som bidrar till ett policyområde och en gränsbevakningsbyrå som är problematisk att utveckla. Genom att studera lex ferenda förslag i den akademiska granskningen av Frontex, söker jag belysa den komplexa situatiThis thesis deals with the mapping of scholarship concerned with the development of Frontex. I argue that the scholarship is dispersed and entails several perspectives with different legal implications which contributes to a policy field and agency problematic to develop. By looking at lex ferenda proposals in the academic review of Frontex, I seek to highlight the complex settings and clarify the

Uppsatsen redogör för hur den digitala distributionsformen streaming förhåller sig till gällande rätt och vilka rättigheter upphovsmän och utövande artister har till denna distributionsform. Upphovsrättslagen är en skyddslagstiftning som syftar till att ge skydd åt upphovsmän och utövande artisters prestationer. På senare tid har den upphovsrättsliga lagstiftningen som en följd av det digitaliserThis essay illustrates how the digital distribution method “streaming” interrelates with existing law and which rights authors and performing artists have with this form of distribution. The Swedish Copyright Act is a protective legislation aimed at providing protection for authors' and artists' performances. More recently, as a result of the digitized society, Swedish copyright legislati

Uppsatsens fokus ligger på att undersöka effekterna av det 21 december 2012 ikraftträdda förbudet mot könsdifferentierade försäkringspremier och –ersättningar. Förbudet har sin bakgrund i ett mål i EU-domstolen, där domstolen kom att ogiltigförklara en undantagsregel som gav medlemsstaterna möjlighet att på obestämd tid tillåta användandet av kön som faktor vid försäkringsföretagens beräknande av The main purpose of this thesis is to evaluate and analyze the impact of the prohibition against the use of sex as a factor in the calculation of premiums and benefits for the purpose of insurance services that entered into force 21 December 2012. The prohibition is a result of a judgment by the European Court of Justice declaring that the exception in Directive 2004/113/EC, giving member states t

Det har blivit allt vanligare med direkthandel i stora enplansvaruhus, där kunder plockar sina varor direkt från pallställ. Dessa pallställ går ofta från golv till tak och är lastade med varor ända upp till taket. I taket förekommer ofta fackverksbalkar i stål som bär upp stomsystemet. Vid en eventuell brand i ett pallställ kan det bli stor lokal flampåverkan med snabb upphettning i delar av fackve

Below every building there is a different type of foundation work, it can comprise point carried piles or floating piles that pursues down the loads in the ground. A foundation work without piles could also be used, but big subsidence can arise in particular at bigger building constructions, it is however most important that the differentiate subsidence becomes too big. These subsidences can influ

Problem: How does collaboration between architects and engineers work? Which are the advantages and disadvantages in the collaboration? How can you make the cooperation better? Object: The purpose of this thesis is to make a connection between architect students and engineers, to find the differences between us and to try to collaborate. We wanted to know how difficult the cooperation could be, i

Glulam is almost exclusively the chosen material of timber frame structures. Of those, three-hinged (three-pin) portal frames are incomparably the most common type. Being both statically determinate and stable against horizontal forces in its own plane offer both practical (basic constructive details) and economical benefits. The design of the haunch allows for various solutions: it can be curved

A silo discharge with a bulk material consisting of iron ore pellets is studied. The silo is about 65 meters high and 38 meters wide. The quality of pellets decreases when they are exposed to high stresses while moving. The stresses are therefore not allowed to exceed a certain threshold. It must also be possible to trace the origin of a sample from the discharge. To fulfill these two demands the o

In this report the shear-capacity of adhesive glass-joints was investigated. A number of various adhesives were tested; glues and silicones. Tests were conducted with small specimens to evaluate the characteristics of the adhesives. With the results of the tests material models were evaluated in the finite element program Abaqus. Linear-elastic and hyper-elastic models were used. Large-scale tests

The polymer PTFE has become an important and widely used sealing material in the valve industry in recent years. It provides good strength and low friction, but it is sensitive to stress relaxation, i.e. loss of stiffness with time. This in turns may cause problems with leaking seals. The objective of this master’s dissertation is to perform a stress analysis of the PTFE sleeve used in an indust

Glulam arches can be used when designing structures with large spans such as halls or arenas. Wood has low density compared to steel and concrete which keeps down the dead weight of the structure. The cross section of glulam arches is often built up as a box-section for efficiency reasons. However, wood shows strongly orthotropic behavior where maximum allowed stress perpendicular to grain is only

Parallel computing is becoming more and more important in modern Finite Element Software. As problems grow larger, computation on a single processor may not be fast enough. To overcome this problem, one can utilize parallel programming using e.g SMP-machines or clusters. Furthermore, when local compute resources are scarce, it can be quite convenient to take advantage of non-local resources for pe

I dag finns ett flertal metoder för jordförstärkning i samband med grundläggning av vägar och hus. För förstärkning av kohesiva jordar är bland annat stenpelarmetoden användbar. Stenpelarförstärkning är en etablerad förstärkningsmetod i stora delar av världen. Metoden härstammar från Tyskland där vibrationsbaserad förstärkning utvecklades under 1930-talet. En stenpelare byggs upp genom att sten

In 1994 the Swedish Construction Code, BKR, was changed from being based on material to being based on function. This permitted constructing multi-storey buildings with a bearing framework made of wood, which had been prohibited since the end of the 19th century. There is now a growing in- terest of using wood as a construction material. In Växjö four seven-storey buildings, Limnologen, are under

Ökad industrialisering har inneburit stora effektivitetsvinster vid nybyggnation av flerbostadshus. Det finns dock ännu ingen metod för standardisering och industrialisering av grundläggningen, vilket gör den till en relativt kostsam och resurskrävande del av byggprocessen. Skanska har startat ett konceptbygge som kallas Moderna Hus. Syftet är att genom standardisering och industrialisering kapa

Following changes on a European level, there are plans to also in Sweden reduce the characteristic value of shear strength of glued-laminated timber. In Sweden, a decrease of approximately 30% from a characteristic value of 4.0 MPa (for glulam L40) to 2.5 or 3.0 MPa is planned. This would mean that wood would lose competitiveness against other construction materials such as steel and concrete. T

Today a dynamic analysis is often performed with the use of advanced finite element software. An advanced model normally produces precise results. Analyzing these large models of bridges is however time consuming and a detailed description of the geometry, supports and material properties must be known. In an early stage of a project a reduced model could significantly reduce the time needed to perf
