Although thinking double thoughts and living dual lives are not specifically Iranian traits, Iranians have nevertheless become more susceptible to them for historical reasons, which may be traced back to when Persians became Muslims. The gradual normalization of double-thinking over the centuries has given rise to social and political patterns of behavior and institutional arrangements which oscilAlthough thinking double thoughts and living dual lives are not specifically Iranian traits, Iranians have, nevertheless, become more susceptible to them for historical reasons, which may be traced back to when Persians became Muslims.

SynopsisReduction of gold(III) complexes by thiocyanate takes place via rapid substitutions at gold(III), followed by intramolecular, slower reductive elimination through attack by outer-sphere thiocyanate. A transition state with an S−S interaction between attacking and coordinated thiocyanate is suggested for the redox process.AbstractAbstract ImageKinetics for reactions between thiocyanate and SynopsisReduction of gold(III) complexes by thiocyanate takes place via rapid substitutions at gold(III), followed by intramolecular, slower reductive elimination through attack by outer-sphere thiocyanate.

Varje år avlider i genomsnitt 100 personer i Sverige till följd av dödligt våld, däribland mord. På senare år har det höjts röster om att de som döms för mord många gånger döms till alltför lindriga straff, med hänsyn till att mord anses vara den mest klandervärda handling en människa kan begå. Följaktligen har lagstiftaren lagt fram ett förslag om att skärpa straffet för mord. I förarbetena framhAbout 100 people die each year in Sweden due to deadly violence such as murder. During recent years some people have claimed that the punishment for murder is not strict enough, considering the fact that taking a life is the most heinous crime that one can commit. Consequently, the Swedish legislator has suggested that the penalty for murder shall become stricter by making life imprisonment the st

Problematiken kring räntesnurror uppmärksammades första gången på 1990-talet i det så kallade Mobil-Oilfallet. Vid denna tid var begreppet räntesnurror ännu inte myntat och Skatteverket hade inte insett att skatteplaneringsförfarandet kunde komma att årligen undandra staten flera miljarder kronor i skattepengar. Problemet låg i den obegränsade ränteavdragsrätten i 16 kap. 1 § IL som gjorde att konThe problem of interest turbines (Swedish: räntesnurror) was first recognized in the 1990s in the so-called Mobile Oil case. At this time, the concept of interest turbines was not yet coined and the Swedish Tax Authority had not realized that this kind of tax planning procedure could cost the state several billion crowns in tax money. The problem consisted in the unlimited interest deduction in ch

Ensamkommande unga som flyr undan krig eller förföljelse i sitt hemland möts i det nya landet av en migrationsprocess där åldern är central för prövningen av uppehållstillstånd. Anledningarna till det är flera. Bland annat tillerkänns personer under 18 år bostad, utbildning och sjukvård. Är den av sökanden påstådda åldern tveksam startar en åldersbedömning för att utreda om han eller hon är ett baUnaccompanied children who are fleeing war or persecution in their native country meet in the new country a migration process where the age is central for the legal examination of residence permit. The reasons for this are several. Among other things, individuals younger than eighteen are granted housing, education and medical care. If the age that the applicant claims is doubtful, an age assessme

Sammanfattning Organiserad brottslighet samt hur man bekämpar och förebygger detta relativt utbredda problem är ett prioriterat område som får allt större utrymme i svensk kriminalpolitik. Det pågår en samhällsdebatt om att införa ett kronvittnessystem i Sverige. Justitieminister Beatrice Ask förespråkar systemet i hopp om att komma till bukt med den organiserade brottsligheten. Det svenska rätAbstract Means to prevent and reduce the growth of organized crime is a prioritized area in Swedish criminal politics. There is an ongoing debate about the introduction of a crown witness system in Sweden. The minister of Justice, Beatrice Ask, supports the system in hope to reduce organized crime. The Swedish legal system and its laws are restrained to reward criminals who contribute to investi

Herbert William Heinrich is one of the most influential pioneers within safety. His concepts, originally from the late 1920s, influence safety practice and theory, even today. In recent years, Heinrich’s legacy received increasing critique, also from contemporary safety authors that generally are counted among the ‘new view’. The objective of this thesis is to explore how ‘new view’ thinkers/autho

Denna uppsats behandlar equity line-faciliteters förhållande till den svenska aktiebolagslagen. Equity line-faciliteter är en typ av finansieringsupplägg som ger aktiebolag möjlighet att erhålla periodiska kapitaltillskott från en finansiär genom utgivande av nya aktier under en avtalad period. Upplägget har sitt ursprung i USA:s 1990-tal men förekommer även på dagens svenska kapitalmarknad. UppThis thesis addresses the relation between Equity Line Facilities and the Swedish Companies Act. Utilization of Equity Line Facilities is a way of raising capital that allows companies listed on markets and exchanges to get periodical capital infusions from an investor via issues of new shares during an agreed period. The financing goes back to the 1990s in the US but now also appears on the Swedi

This master thesis examined the microstructure after heat treatments in stainless steel, two conventional stainless steel (304 and 316) and two novel high temperature stainless steel. These stainless steels are for the use in high temperature heat exchangers for extended temperature range. The positive characteristics in stainless steel are inversely correlated to grain size, characteristics such

Lojalitetsplikten i kommersiella avtalsförhållanden kan definieras som skyl-digheten för parterna i relationen att tillvarata motpartens intressen utöver sina egna. Lojalitetsplikten kan härledas långt tillbaka i historien men det är först under 1900-talets andra hälft som saker började hända och denna utveckling tog rejäl fart under de senaste ca 20 åren. Lojal samverkan mellan parterna står iblaThe principle of loyalty in commercial relations can be defined as an obliga-tion for the parties to safeguard the other party’s interests in addition to their own. The principle of loyalty can be derived far back in history, but it was only during the second half of the 20th century that things started to happen, and this progress took off in the last 20 or so years. Loyal collaboration be-tween

Uppsatsen handlar om barnets rätt att komma till tals i vårdnadsmål. Rätten fastställs i barnkonventionens artikel 12. Artikeln gäller som lag i Sverige sedan 2020. Enligt artikel 12 ska konventionsstaterna tillförsäkra det barn som är i stånd att bilda egna åsikter rätten att fritt uttrycka dessa i alla frågor som rör barnet. Vidare ska barnet i alla domstolsförfaranden och administrativa förfaraThe topic of the paper is the child's right to be heard in custody cases, as set out in Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

According to Article 12, States Parties shall assure a child capable of forming his or her own views, the right to express those views freely in all matters affecting the child. Furthermore

Skatterätten inom Europeiska unionen har under många år varit under konstant utveckling. EU-skatterätten är ett mångfacetterat område genom att det i vissa avseenden skett en harmonisering, medan skatterätten inom andra områden kvarstår som en del av medlemsstaternas suveräna lagstiftningar. Det sagda har givit upphov till att vissa delar av skatterätten, inte minst gällande företagsbeskattningen The tax law in the European union has been under constant development for many years. It is a multifaceted area of the EU law due to the fact that harmonization has taken place in some areas of the EU tax law, but in some aspects, it still falls under the sovereignty of the member states. This has led to the EU tax law, especially the corporate taxation in the area of direct taxation, in relation

This thesis analyses relationships between the litterfall components needles, twigs, flowers, fruits, and total litterfall and climate variables (wind speed, air temperature, relative humidity, and precipitation) in a coniferous forest located in southern Sweden. Needles, twigs, and total litterfall were positively correlated with daily average as well as maximum wind speed, whereas negatively cor

The purpose of this study is to explore what previous research suggests about how thematic variations in sexual depictions in young adult novels with lesbian characters can affect readers. Furthermore, it explores how different kinds of sexual depictions in lesbian young adult novels can be utilized in a classroom setting. Through close readings of four lesbian sexual depictions in young adult nov

A comparison and analysis of possible changes that will occur with the new law, that is soon to be entered into force in Sweden, aiming to protect t

Den miljöpolitiska debatten är idag högaktuell. För att förhindra fortsatta negativa klimat- och miljöförändringar krävs en omställning i vårt samhälle, bland annat hos verksamheter med betydande miljöpåverkan. Ett viktigt styrmedel för en sådan omställning är miljöbalken. Enligt miljöbalken krävs tillstånd för att bedriva miljöfarlig verksamhet. Tillståndsprövningen utgör ett viktigt kontrollförfThe environmental policy debate is now highly topical. In order to prevent further negative climate and environmental changes, a transition in our society is required, including activities with significant environmental impacts. An important instrument for such a conversion is the Swedish Environmental Code (miljöbalken). According to the Environmental Code, a permit is required to carry out envir

The long-distance migration that some animals accomplish can be truly astonishing. It can be observed in several different groups of animals with some of the most famous examples being sea turtles, birds, salmon and the Monarch butterfly. How these animals manage to navigate over distances sometimes as long as 10000 km nobody knows for sure. There is evidence of some animal’s ability to navigate u
