Den 1 juni 2022 träder ett nytt brott i kraft som benämns Hedersförtryck. Brottet är konstruerat efter ett särskilt motiv än en specifik gärning. Moti-vet är att bevara eller återupprätta en persons eller familjs, släkt eller annan liknande grupps heder. Paragrafen hänvisar till en rad gärningar som lag-rummet kan tillämpas på, till exempel misshandel och olaga hot. Syftet är därmed att sådana hanThe 1st of June 2022 a new criminal offence is legislated, called honour-related oppression (in Swedish, Hedersförtryck). The crime is constructed to be based on the motive rather than the specific act itself. The motive is to preserve or restore the honour of a person, family, relative, or other simi-lar groups. The paragraph refers to several other criminal offences which the honour-related oppr

Skadliga marina arter invaderar idag främmande habitat och ekosystem med en extrem hastighet. Dessa arter har haft en mycket stor negativ inverkan på många sårbara ekosystem runt om i världen och barlastvatten har identifierats som en av de största faktorerna bakom den snabba spridningen. Idag är den vanligaste åtgärden för att lösa problemet att byta barlastvatten ute till havs för att göra sig aHarmful aquatic species are today invading foreign habitats at an unprecedented pace. They have had a large negative impact on many fragile ecosystems of the world and ballast water has been identified as one the major culprits behind their fast spread. Today, the most common remedy used to combat the problem is exchanging ballast water in the open ocean to get rid of any organisms with the potent

This Master’s thesis in library and information science deals with the development of Länkskafferiet, a SBIG created in 1994 by NetLab of the University Library of Lund. Länkskafferiet maintains a selection of quality controlled Internet links for the use of Swedish school children. We have had access to archives and files from the start of Länkskafferiet in 1994 to 2005 and have also interviewed

Popular science summary Are drugs only drugs for human being? An experiment to see if some of the anthropogenic pharmaceuticals are toxic contaminants for the aquatic environment. All kinds of pharmaceuticals have been using widely and the amount has been increased significantly during the last few decades. Concerns about the occurrence of pharmaceuticals releasing into different matrixes of th

Zabrze is a medium size town of 200 000 inhabitants in the region of Upper Silesia, Poland. The development of the town was originally based on the exploitation of heavy industries. In the past few years Zabrze has, however, moved towards more service and tourism oriented industries. As part of this journey, the city of Zabrze sees the need to improve its existing waste management system. This rep

De utanförstående arbetstagarna är en grupp som växer på arbetsmarknaden, men som under en lång tid har varit i en väldigt liten minoritet. En stor del av arbetsrätten kan därför verka vara avsedd för de andra aktörerna på arbetsmarknaden, då behovet av att tillgodose en så liten grupps intressen förmodligen inte har haft lika hög prioritet som andra företeelser på arbetsmarknaden och arbetsrätten

I Sverige, liksom i många andra delar av Europa, finns en romantiserande bild av ungdomsgäng. Genom medias rapporteringar får vi ibland ta del av olika berättelser om ungdomar som sysslar med brott och ställer till med trubbel ute i förorterna. Dessutom har vi alla någon gång sett amerikanska filmer som både glamouriserar gänglivet och framställer det ur ett mycket dystert ljus. Ungdomar i gäng In Sweden, as in many other parts of Europe, we have a romanticized notion of youth gangs. Through media reports, we sometimes come to hear different stories of youths who engage in criminal activity and cause trouble out in the suburbs. Moreover, we have all seen American movies that glamourize gang life as well as present it from a very gloomy light. Youths who are involved in gangs evoke a ce

Modern society is a complex system that combines a lot of variables and one of the most important is electric power supply. Nowadays, our society extremely depends on the secure and consistent electricity supplies, being the main support of current industrial, economical, social and information activity. Furthermore, this dependence is becoming stricter as the society progresses. However, power sy

Sammanfattning Det är viktigt för stora företag som Bosch att ligga i framkant när det gäller teknisk utveckling. En central del av detta innebär att bevaka trender på marknaden genom att söka på internet efter nyheter som kan vara av intresse, vilket ger dem stora mängder information. Ett problem är dock att de får information om väldigt många olika områden i många olika regioner, vilket gör detAbstract It is important for a large company like Bosch to be at the forefront of technological development, and a central part of this entails scouting for trends in the market. To achieve this, they search the Internet for news articles that could be of interest, providing them with vast amounts of information. A problem, however, is that they receive information about very many different area

Avian migration is based on a genetically inherited, endogenous programme which encodes the spatio-temporal information necessary for naive individuals to perform their first migration. The mechanism responsible for the temporal aspect of migration includes both endogenous clocks and responses to external cues to generate timing programmes. Of all the external cues involved, photoperiod has the g

Efforts to reduce energy consumption in buildings have increased with the pending impact of climate change. Heat losses through airing behaviours remain a largely unknown factor due to the variety of reasons for opening a window, making generalization difficult. Currently, an estimation of 4 kWh/m2 heated area for airing heat loss is assumed in Sweden. Additionally, the resulting airflow from open

Miljöpåståenden används idag ofta i marknadsföring för att övertyga kon-sumenter om en produkt eller tjänsts miljöfördelar. För att motverka vilsele-dande miljöpåståenden har EU-kommissionen föreslagit ett direktiv – det så kallade Green Claims-direktivet – som kräver att miljöpåståenden ska för-handskontrolleras och godkännas av en oberoende aktör. Kravet på förhandskontroll kan dock komma i konfEnvironmental claims are now frequently used in marketing to convince consumers of the environmental benefits of a product or service. To counter misleading environmental claims, the European Commission has proposed a directive – the so-called “Green Claims Directive” – which requires that such claims be pre-approved by an independent verifier. However, this re-quirement may conflict with Swedish

What happens when open, informal spaces disappear – and specifically, what happens when these spaces disappear in a city that used to be full of them? My project is rooted in two things. The first is the highly debated ”Amazon Tower” in Friedrichshain, and the polarized urban conditions around it. The second is my love for Berlin. Berlin has always been a city in flux. However, the latest round

I den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen sker kollektiv reglering av arbetsvillkoren genom frivilliga självständiga förhandlingar mellanarbetsmarknadens parter. I denna modell utgör stridsåtgärder det yttersta maktmedlet för arbetstagareorganisationerna, varigenom dessa tillförsäkra sig inflytande över arbetsvillkoren och tillser att ett monopol på arbetskraften upprätthålls. Den svenska rättsordningeThe Swedish labor market model is distinguished by the fact that working conditions are, to a large extent, regulated through voluntary autonomous collective bargaining between management and labor. Strike action and other collective measures constitute the leverage with which the labor organizations can influence working conditions and maintain a monopoly on the supply of labor. To facilitate the

The Protogine Zone is a system of steep shear zones running approximately parallel to the boundary between the Svecofennian and the Southwest Scandinavian orogens of southern Sweden. The geological nature of the zone is not very well known, mainly because detailed mapping has not begun until recently. This work is the beginning of an attempt to start changing this situation. An area of l km², situ

Background: Pressure from volatile fossil fuel prices, an increased awareness of climate change and technological advances has resulted in a changing relationship between utility companies and their customers and has created a demand for more efficient and controllable electricity products and services. Smart services are seen as a tool to meet the demands of the market and to encourage consumers

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: En mycket reaktiv spårgas i Amazonas. Växter släpper ut flyktiga organiska ämnen, som är mycket viktiga eftersom de släpps ut i stora mängder och påverkar tillverkningen av aerosoler, förändrar luftkvaliteten och fungerar som kommunikation mellan växter och herbivorer. Det här arbetet presenterar uppmätningar av sesquiterpener, vilka är flyktiga organiska partikSesquiterpenes are highly reactive terpenoids produced by vegetation and may serve many important biological functions such as acting as antioxidants and as semiochemicals (chemicals acting as messengers within or between species). Once emitted to the atmosphere, by reacting with oxidants like ozone and contributing to secondary organic aerosol formation, the emission of sesquiterpenes from vegeta

Local human rights defenders play a significant role in the realization and enjoyment of human rights. Working alone or in association with others, they peacefully advocate for and promote fundamental freedoms and human rights for themselves and for their fellow citizens. In the process, they document violations; raise awareness to rights holders about the rights to which they are entitled; remind

The European spruce bark beetle is considered as one of the most destructive forest insects to Norway spruce trees in Europe. Climate change may increase the frequency and intensity of bark beetle outbreaks. It is therefore of vital importance to detect the bark beetle outbreaks and take it under control to prevent further damages. Remote sensing techniques may provide a cost-efficient solution to

Urbanization is gaining force globally, which challenges biodiversity, and it has recently also emerged as an agent of evolutionary change. Seasonal phenology and life cycle regulation are essential processes that urbanization is likely to alter through both the urban heat island effect (UHI) and artificial light at night (ALAN). However, how UHI and ALAN affect the evolution of seasonal adaptatio
