Trots att en domstolsförhandling är av stor vikt för många barn som har utsatts för sexuella övergrepp visar undersökningar att endast tio procent av anmälningarna om sexualbrott mot barn leder till åtal. Syftet med denna uppsats är dels att presentera de åtgärder som företas i förhållande till målsäganden under förundersökningen, dels att fastställa om det finns faktorer som är avgörande för huruA trial is very important for children who have been sexually abused, however studies show that only ten percent of police reports lead to a prosecution. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the current procedure for investigating reports of sexual abuses against children. The paper will determine whether there are factors that are relevant if a case is prosecuted or not and thus can contribute

Amyloid fibrillering, en process där peptider (små protein) klumpas ihop, är idag associerat med en rad sjukdomar såsom Alzheimers sjukdom och diabetes typ 2. En peptid som är associerad med diabetes typ 2 är IAPP. Peptiden har hittats fibrillerad i bukspottskörteln i många patienter med diabetes typ 2. I tidigare studier har det hittats en koppling mellan små plaster, så kallade nanoplaster, och The impact of nanoparticles on amyloid fibrillation has been studied for some time due to the amount of nanoparticles that can be found in nature due to human release. Previous studies have shown that different nanoparticles may affect the length of the lag phase of the fibrillation process. This has been studied on peptides such as amyloid beta and islet amyloid polypeptide. Research has shown th

This masters thesis handles segmentation of blood vessels in Wistor-rat lungs, scanned by a µm-CT scanner. These scans are very detailed 3D-volumes and have been rescaled to a more manageable size of 1024 × 1024 × 1024 voxels per volume. The main goals of the thesis is to find a more efficient way to perform segmentation in medical images and thus semi-supervised segmentation techniques have been

White dwarf stars represent the last evolutionary stage of most stars in the Universe. As many of half of these stars are known to have metals in their atmospheres, that must have entered the atmosphere recently. Some also have observable debris discs, hinting that remnant exoplanets provide an important puzzle piece. However, we do not know the full extent of their role, as it is very hard to obs

Implicit motives, nonconscious needs that influence individuals’ behaviors and shape their emotions, have been part of personality research for nearly a century but differ from personality traits. The implicit motive assessment is very resource-intensive, involving expert coding of individuals’ written stories about ambiguous pictures, and has hampered implicit motive research. Using large languag

Correlations in azimuthal angle extending over a long range in pseudorapidity between particles, usually called the “ridge” phenomenon, were discovered in heavy-ion collisions, and later found in pp and p–Pb collisions. In large systems, they are thought to arise from the expansion (collective flow) of the produced particles. Extending these measurements over a wider range in pseudorapidity and fi

Detta arbete har syftat till att göra en situationsstudie av dissipation beräknad i HIRLAM, en numerisk prognosmodell, över Danmark och att ge författarna kunskap om fenomenet turbulens. Studien gjordes genom att bearbeta data erhållen från HIRLAM i MATLAB. Den nedersta delen av troposfären där jordytan har en påverkan på atmosfären kallas för gränsskiktet. När vinden blåser i gränsskiktet kommer This case study aimed at analyzing dissipation calculated in HIRLAM, a numerical forecast model, over Denmark and to give the authors more knowledge about the phenomenon of turbulence. The study was done by processing data obtained from HIRLAM in MATLAB. The lowest part of the troposphere where the surface of the earth has an impact on the air is called the planetary boundary layer. When the wind

This report is written during a Master Thesis carried out at Volvo Aero Corporation, VAC, in relation with the Division of Production and Materials Engineering at Lund Institute of Technology. The purpose with this report is to get a better insight in some of the problems occurring during the manufacturing of a space nozzle. At VAC a new kind of nozzle wall design has been introduced for their sp

En ofta använd behandlingsmetod mot cancer är strålbehandling. Inför en sådan behandling undersöks patienten ofta med en typ av röntgenundersökning som kallas datortomografi (eng. computed tomomgraphy, CT). Röntgenbilderna visar hur mycket av strålningen som absorberas av kroppen, vilket innebär att man tydligt ser skillnad mellan ben, som absorberar mer av strålningen än vävnad och luft, som strå"Introduction; The aim of this study was to examine the possibilities for MRI-based radiotherapy treatment planning. The work included evaluation of geometric image distortions in MR-images, investigations of how segmentation of bone could be performed from images acquired with the ultra short time of echo (UTE) pulse sequence and assessment of dosimetric differences between treatment plannin

Simulation mimics the behaviour of real world processes or the system over time. It helps us to understand the impact of modification and the effect of introducing various interventions to a system. One such simulation method is known as Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, which has been utilized to evaluate the performance of digital communication systems over the last 70 years. MC has been the most ex

This thesis aims to discover how Baltic and Nordic regional identities are discussed in 448 speeches by the presidents of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania during 1991 – 2021, and how regional identities in these countries may have changed over time. The research is conducted as a critical discourse analysis, with an addition of elements of comparative analysis. The theoretical framework consists of A

Background. Carlberg & Innanen (1987) first proposed the idea of measuring the solar re- flex velocity (the velocity of the Sun around the galactic centre), Vg,⊙, using the momenta of the stars in the solar neighbourhood. The proposal was a consequence of the work of L. Martinet (Martinet 1974), where he proved that there should be a dearth of stars with zero angular momenta in the solar neigh

The importance of the alluring goal of having the “perfect” or “true” information is more than visible in the financial world. In portfolio management financial correlation matrices measure the unsystematic correlations between assets e.g. stocks. Finding the true correlations between stocks would enable the creation of portfolios with less risk. In reality this information is more than hard to co

This is a study on the young client's encounter 1 with the welfare system which main goal is the transition to work or study. The focus is on the clients experiences of this encounters and if they consider social allowance as a mean of lasting support. The method of data collection has been interviewing five people, two females and three males, all about the age of 20. All five had for some ti

Frågan om hur uppsåtsbedömningen ska göras på självförvållat berusade personer är erkänt problematisk, och de olika lösningar som finns tycks aldrig bereda en fullständig tillfredställelse. Just balansgången mellan å ena sidan effektivitetsskälen och å andra sidan rättsäkerheten har visat sig svår att gå, då de är två motstående intressen som båda behöver tillgodoses för att uppnå en fullgod lösniThe question about how the subjective test of intention shall be done on self-induced intoxicated persons has been recognized as problematic, and the various solutions available never seem to give sufficient satisfaction. Especially the balancing act between so called efficiency reasons and on the other hand the rule of law has been proved difficult, as they are conflicting interests that both mus

Denna uppsats behandlar unga lagöverträdares roll i svensk straffrätt. Syftet med arbetet är att skildra straffbarhetsåldern i svensk rätt. Skildra hur regleringen kommer till uttryck i gällande rätt samt ur ett rättshistoriskt perspektiv. Frågeställningarna för att besvara syftet: Är 15 år en lämplig straffbarhetsålder? Uppfylls förutsägbarhetsprincipen för barn under 15 år vad gäller påföljdssyThis paper deals with young offenders role in Swedish criminal law. The aim is to portray the age of criminal liability in Swedish law. Depict how the regulation is enshrined in the law as well as from a correct historical perspective. The questions to answer the purpose are: Is 15 years an appropriate age of criminal responsibility? Is the principle of predictability fulfilled for children under

The aim of this study was to examine experience of stigma among parents of children with neuropsychiatric disabilities. Since I wanted my study to focus on parents’ experiences, I used a qualitative approach. I based my study on interviews made with six mothers of children with different neuropsychiatric disabilities such as autism, Asperger’s syndrome, ADHD and ADD. Most previous studies on stigm

Den statligt tillsatta Vanvårdsutredningen konstaterade år 2010 att det under en stor del av 1900-talet förekommit många fall av allvarliga försummelser och övergrepp vid institutioner och familjehem inom den sociala barnavården. Med anledning av vad hade som presenterats tillsatte regeringen därefter Upprättelseutredningen med uppdrag att närmare utreda möjligheterna till upprättelse för de barn In 2010, a commission, appointed by the Swedish government, found that serious neglect and abuse had been occurring within the public childcare system during the 20th century. As a result of these findings, a second commission was mandated to inquire the possibilities for restitution for all children who had experienced neglect or abuse between 1920 and 1980. The commission suggested that an econo

Everything we see in nature shows how the environment influences them from both inside and outside, for example, appearance and inner structure. As Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection, specific behavioural and physical adaptations that are the outcome of natural selection. [1] The outer appearance is a visible reflection of how environment changed while the inner structure is the organism
