Utgångspunkten för denna uppsats är att det i det svenska samhället råder en stark norm kring tvåsamhet som grund för familjebildning, vilket blir tydligt redan i första kapitlet i ÄktB i vilket det framgår vilka som har rätt att gifta sig - de som befinner i sig i en parrelation. Polygami i form av månggifte är emellertid olagligt. I uppsatsen studeras hur tvåsamheten legitimeras och vad som uttrThis thesis is based on the assumption that Swedish society has a strong norm surrounding twosome togetherness as the basis for family construction. This is already evident in the first chapter of the Swedish Marriage Code, which refers to those eligible to marry as two persons in a relationship. Polygamy, however, is illegal. The thesis examines the legal concept of twoness; what is said about it
In January 2005, south-west Sweden was hit by a severe storm that caused large damage to the forests through massive windthrow. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of this windthrow on nitrate concentrations in the soil water below the root zone on 33 forest monitoring plots within the Swedish Throughfall Monitoring Network (SWETHRO). These sites were damaged to different extents by the
In areas where tectonics and weathering have hydrogeological significance, electrical methods can assist in mapping the subsurface. In this work, resistivity imaging was used to map fractures, faults and quartz veins emplaced in strongly weathered volcanic rocks. The aim was to map geological units related to the formation of groundwater systems in the Rio Artiguas basin, Nicaragua. Eight 2D resis
Clinical trials of pharmaceuticals have been running in Russia for more than ten years and while it is an attractive location for research, it remains a largely untapped resource as researchers look to expand patient recruitment outside the Western world. While academic sites like Moscow, St Petersburg and Novosibirsk have all gained experience in clinical trials, smaller hospitals in peripheral

Today, digital circuits are part of every ones daily life in form of mobile phones, computers, television, smart cards etc. The advent of new technologies such as internet of things, 5G etc. are continuously making the digital circuits more and more complex in design. With this increase in complexity comes the possibility of more bugs in the system. Finding and fixing these bugs is of paramount im
Bakgrund Diabetes mellitus är en av de vanligaste dödsorsakerna hos vuxna och uppskattades år 2017 vara upphov till 4 miljoner dödsfall globalt. Diabetes mellitus är en av de fem icke-smittsamma sjukdomarna som WHO har valt att prioritera i syfte att förbättra folkhälsa. Diabetes mellitus typ 2 ligger bakom 80-90 % av all diabetes. Förutom att sjukdomen kan leda till njursvikt, perifer neuropati o
Progress on Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education (SDG4) has been insufficient and knowledge of how it is implemented into domestic contexts remains limited. Using norm diffusion theory as a framework, this thesis is a comparative study of SDG4 implementation in five countries around the world. By analysing both the discursive and practical impact of SDG4, this thesis has studied if an
The process of firms entering and exiting the market has since Schumpeter’s introduction of the concept of creative destruction been a subject of interest for economists aiming to determine what drives economic growth. However, limited availability of data has long been a hindrance to such ambitions and it is not until recent decades that empirical studies on the role of firm dynamics for economic
Den 30 mars 2017 presenterade Finansdepartementet Vissa frågor inom fastighets- och stämpelskatteområdet (SOU 2017:27), även kallat paketeringsutredningen. Förslagen som utredningen presenterade innebär bland annat att transaktioner med paketerade fastigheter ska beskattas symmetriskt med lagfartsöverlåtelser, till skillnad från nuläget då de kan ske skattefritt genom försäljning av näringsbetingaOn March 30th 2017 the special appointed committee from the Swedish Treasury Department presented Vissa frågor inom fastighets- och stämpelskatteområdet (SOU 2017:27), also known as “paketeringsutredningen”. Suggestions from the public investigation include among other things amendments stating that transactions of incorporated real estate should be taxed symmetrically with traditionally transacti
Cartographic mashups present geographic data from various sources. A typical example is adding thematic data on top of a multi-scales background map. Currently, thematic data and multi-scales background data are not linked together in cartographic mashups which may have potential problems such as inconsistency of scale ranges. However, in some cases, thematic data and background data have some ide
