När den första hovrätten inrättades i Sverige år 1614 gavs den bland annat i uppdrag att kontrollera de dödsdomar som utdömts i underrätterna. Då en ny och strängare strafflag, kallad Appendix, införts 1608 hade antalet dödsdomar ökat kraftigt. Hovrätten kunde då välja att antingen fastställa underrättens dödsdom, eller leuterera och utdöma ett eget straff. När hovrätten utdömde ett annat straff äAs the first Swedish Court of Appeal was promulgated in 1614, among other tasks, the reevaluation of all death sentences from the district courts fell under its responsibilities. Six years prior to this, in 1608, a new code of penal law, the so-called Appendix, had been put into place on royal initiative. Now, the Court of Appeal could either affirm the sentences from the district courts, or overr

The scope of this work is to help determine the functional improvement brought on by introducing a Bismuth germanate (BGO) Anti-Compton Scattering (ACS) shield system to a germanium COMPEX detector module. The COMPEX germanium detector module is already an extremely useful addition in examining gamma-ray spectroscopy. However, by introducing an ACS it is hoped to compound on these improvements yie

Bakgrund: Operationssalen ställer höga krav på ventilationssystemen för att bevara en luftkvalitet som inte bidrar till att patienter drabbas av postoperativa infektioner som är en av de vanligaste vårdrelaterade infektionerna i Sverige. Ventilationssystemen har som syfte att minska antal bakterier och partiklar i luften. Operationssjuksköterskan har som ansvar att arbeta infektionspreventivt och

Oxygen concentrators are relatively small medical devices that concentrates oxygen from the ambient air next to the patient. They are widely used in low resource settings and in the home health care. For larger hospitals in Sweden and similar countries however, the most common oxygen source is liquid oxygen and oxygen cylinders, delivered from an off-site supplier. Liquid oxygen is often not an op

This research presents a quest for the definition of “foreign direct investment” under the EU framework for FDI screening by the Member States, established by Regulation 2019/452 based on public policy and security. This Thesis argues that the scope of the current Regulation, excluding “indirect” FDI made by foreign investors via an EU subsidiary, coupled with the lenient, non-compulsory nature of

From the first of May this year the notification system is to be abandoned to the benefit of a directly applicable system in which the undertakings themselves will be forced to assess the EC competition rules. A major decentralisation is also to take place, allowing both the national competition authorities and the national courts to apply the EC competition rules in their entirety. Even though th

The topic of this thesis is subjectless clauses in Old Swedish (1225–1526). The thesis focuses on referential subjects, and addresses the problem of why the possibilities to leave out such subjects have been reduced during the history of Swedish. The dissertation consists of three main parts, divided into eight chapters. In the first part, chapters 1–3, the aims are presented and a theoretical bac

Popular Abstract in English This doctoral thesis investigates the onset of cardiovascular disease with a focus on socioeconomic differences as explanatory factors. Analyzing a contemporary population of natives and foreign-born individuals in Sweden, socioeconomic status is operationalized through a variety of measures. The importance of this study is found in the high cost of cardiovascular interThis doctoral thesis investigates the relationship between socioeconomic status and the onset of cardiovascular disease in a contemporary population of natives and foreign-born individuals in Sweden. The complexity of individual socioeconomic characteristics and the interrelationship with other cardiovascular risk factors is the focus of the studies in this thesis. As in most developed countries,

Risk communication, the flow of information between decision-makers, risk experts and the public, can be a valuable tool in societal resilience building. Risk communication can be used both to inform the resilience planning process as well as to directly build resilience at all societal scales. The city of Belfast is currently developing a resilience strategy that addresses flooding in the city as

Previous research has shown that irradiation in-utero or during early childhood may cause longlasting damage. Studies on the Chernobyl accident have found that all birth groups which received high doses of radiation in early life may have severe persisting disadvantage in health. However, we do not know which of the groups irradiated in early life was the most vulnerable. We also do not know wheth

The amount of electronic information is growing continuously in the corporate world and companies need to make sure to have a good solution for it to make effective use of time and document handling. A good task management is also an important part of a company’s structure to not create unnecessarily work. With this master thesis we have found a solution where a Workflow-software is implemented to

Children are said to be the future of our society. Hence, how we take care of our children is a cause of concern. This is evident in much of the social work that is carried out in Sweden. One of the times when we find children to be the most vulnerable is when they, for different reasons, are separated from their biological families and placed in foster care. Based on the fact that Sweden over the

This paper was part of the ongoing cooperation between the Swedish Civil Aviation Authority and the Department of Psychology at Lund University. The purpose of this study was to develop a self-report measure regarding human factors, for the air traffic controllers to fill out before they start their working shift. This in order to aid the team leaders in their judgment regarding the air traffic co

International migration is a way to find work and support family members for many people in developing countries where income opportunities are few. The number of female migrants have grown and women migrate increasingly as main providers for their families or as heads of households. This thesis uses qualitative analysis to explore the migration process by comparing the reasons behind the migratio

New calcareous nannofossil analyses from the Northern Calcareous Alps of Austria are herein used to update and improve the state of knowledge about the oldest occurrence of coccolithophores reported in the literature. Previously reported Norian occurrences of coccoliths were based on an obsolete Triassic chronostratigraphy, in which the Rhaetian stage was subsumed into the Norian ('Sevatian 2'). T

The pine sawfly pheromone precursor 3,7-dimethyl-2-pentadecanol (diprionol) was quantified by gas chromatography in different body parts of virgin female Neodiprion sertifer. About one-third of the total amount (approx. 10 ng per female) was found in each of head + thorax, abdominal segments 1-3, and the remaining abdomen. Diprionol was also found in the respective parts of pupae, but in lower amo

The present paper outlines the nature of a three-dimensional ontology and the place of psychological science within this ontology, in a way that is partly similar to and partly different from that of Pérez-Álvarez. The first dimension is the material realities, and involves different levels (physical, chemical, biological, psychological, etc.), where each level builds on a lower level but also inv
