Hur psykiskt störda lagöverträdare ska behandlas inom rättssystemet är en fråga som ständigt diskuteras. Denna grupp har sedan lång tid tillbaka särbehandlats inom straffrätten. Problematiken kring dessa lagöverträdare är väldigt komplex och några enkla lösningar går troligen inte att finna. Området präglas av motstående intressen, där humanitet och samhällsskydd är två av de mest centrala. UnderHow mentally disordered offenders should be treated in the justice system is an issue constantly under discussion. This group has for a long time been treated differently in criminal law. The questions of these offenders are very complex and no easy solutions are likely to find. This area is characterized by conflicting interests, where humanity and public protection are two of the most central.

För att en användare ska ha rätt att utnyttja ett upphovsrättskyddat verk krävs tillstånd från upphovsmannen. Inom vissa verksamheter utnyttjas stora mängder av upphovsrättskyddade verk som behöver klareras. Det kan vara tidskrävande och dyrt att införskaffa individuella tillstånd för dessa. De nordiska länderna har löst detta problem genom att införa ett avtalslicenssystem. Avtalslicensen är ett In order for a user to exploit a copyright protected work, permission needs to be obtained from the author. In certain fields, large amounts of copyright protected work are exploited. To acquire individual permits is both time consuming and expensive. The Nordic countries have solved this problem by introducing a system of extended collective licenses (ECL). An ECL is an agreement between an organ

Flera länder runt om i världen har valt att effektivisera sin brottsbekämpning genom att vidta åtgärder som öppnar upp möjligheter till förhandling mellan brottslingar och brottsbekämpande myndigheter. I Sverige kan rätten använda sig utav strafflindringande omständigheter vid påföljdsbedömningen, omständigheter som i dagligt tal kommit att kallas för billighetsskälen. En av de situationer som omfSeveral countries around the world have chosen to streamline their law enforcement by taking measures that enables opportunities for negotiation between criminals and law enforcement authorities. In Sweden, the court can make use of mitigating circumstances during the sentencing, circumstances that in daily speech have been called for the reasons of fairness. One of the situations covered by the g

Tillgång till tillräckliga mängder vatten av god kvalitet är en väsentlig resurs för samhället. Det behövs för mänsklig konsumtion, för produktion i industrin, för fisket, etcetera. Det är därför mycket oroande att vattenkvaliteten i Europeiska unionen successivt försämras. Östersjön som är mycket påverkad av övergödning kan nämnas som ett exempel. Övergödning orsakas av utsläpp av näringsämnen iThe supply of good quality water is an essential resource for society. It is needed for human consumption, for production processes in the industry, for fishing, etcetera. The fact that the quality of waters within the European Union is continuously deteriorating is therefore of major concern. One example is the Baltic Sea, which is heavily affected by eutrophication. Eutrophication is caused b

This Master’s thesis is performed on behalf of Alfa Laval, a multinational company providing technological products and services.
Alfa Laval has in the past had a lot of successful mergers, but there were also those cases that led to sell off and those that had potential to add more value than was actually realized. In the common case, it has been shown that 60-70 per cent of M&As fall sho

BACKGROUND: Modern modular implants allow surgeons to mix different combinations of components within the same brand. From 1999 to 2012, the NexGen®-CR Option femoral component, together with a NexGen® Option Stemmed tibial plate (stemmed baseplate), which uses a short central stem, was the most-frequently used NexGen® combination in the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register. However, from 1999 to 20

Geotechnical engineering is the science dealing with mechanics of soils and rocks and its engineering applications. Geotechnical engineering projects vary in a wide range, from evaluation of the stability of natural slopes and man-made soil deposits, to the design of earthworks and foundations. Traditional methods, using manual calculations or simplified computational methods, do not, as a rule, t

Rapid urbanization and the growth in the number of motorized vehicles has dramatically marginalized cycling in Chinese cities since the end of the 1990s. The deterioration in air quality and the urban environment is severely challenging urban livability and public health. The cities are seeking effective policies to alleviate these problems, and revitalizing bicycle transport has received increasi

High spatial resolution X-ray microscopy has become a dedicated tool to study nanocrystals and nanostructure devices in recent years. In general, the spatial resolution of X-ray microscopy depends on the spot size of the X-ray beam and the pixel size of X-ray detectors. High-resolution X-ray detection ideally requires a minimal active region with a sufficient thickness for the X-ray absorption, wh

Background: Many individuals who will experience a first episode of psychosis (FEP) are not detected before occurrence, limiting the effect of preventive interventions. The combination of machine-learning methods and electronic health records (EHRs) could help address this gap. Methods: This case-control development and validation study is based on EHR data from IBM Explorys. The IBM Explorys Plat

Background: Transient ischemic attacks (TIA) indicate an increased risk of stroke, one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. In order to prevent stroke, our knowledge of diagnosis, demographics, risk factors, investigations, and treatment of patients with TIA needs to be improved.Aims: The aims of this thesis were to validate data and diagnoses in the Riksstroke TIA module (Riks

Why should we teach tourism at universities?This presentation targets the question of why tourism should be part of university education. Presently, this is questioned by colleagues in traditional academic disciplines as well as by parts of the tourism industry, which are somewhat reluctant to employ people with a university degree. It is thus time for this matter to be raised. If we are to answer

Many parents perceive the urban environment as hazardous for their children and therefore prescribe and circumscribe young people’s access to the environment (Malone, 2001). Consequently, spontaneous unregulated play in neighbourhood spaces is decreasing as children are primarily encouraged to participate in regulated play environments in their homes, friends houses and commercial facilities. Simu

To improve the properties and functionality of starch, it is important to understand the physicochemical and structural characteristics as raw material, after being modified to increase its characteristics and/or during changes due to the processing conditions. For this reason, the objective of the present thesis is to improve the understanding of characteristics and molecular properties like mola

During the course of development the motor repertoire of animals and humans alike go through dramatic changes. New motor patterns arise; movements become coordinated, improve in precision and are at the same time continuously calibrated to the changing body dimensions. The cerebellum is critical for movement coordination and adaptation in adults. Also, interfering with cerebellar development durin

Background: In the context of the investigation of the quark gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions, hadrons containing heavy (charm or beauty) quarks play a special role for the characterization of the hot and dense medium created in the interaction. The measurement of the production of charm and beauty hadrons in proton-proton collisions, besides providing the necessary reference for the

The favorable pharmacokinetics of MMC, used during intraperitoneal chemotherapy, has been reported in several studies [11-19]. A major safety issue in studies using intraperitoneal chemotherapy perfusion is the resulting systemic drug exposure. The AUCplasma is determined by the dose, the clearance, and the fraction absorbed from the peritoneal cavity. The reported mean plasma peak concentrations

The aim of this thesis is to study early life risk exposures in relation to adult health and mortality in Sweden during 250 years. A number of causal mechanisms by which exposure to diseases and stressful economic and social conditions early in life may lead to increased morbidity and mortality later in life are discussed (paper I). The early life exposures investigated are the foetal origins (nut

Meat analogues are products that are supposed to resemble meat in terms of texture, flavour, and also sensory characteristics. They have recently become increasingly popular due to numerous issues related to health, religion, environmental impact and the growing number of vegetarians and vegans. Due to this reason, many plant-based protein materials, including grains, legumes, microalgae, and mus

Popular Abstract in Swedish Utvärdering av stråldos och bildkvalitet i mammografi Bröstcancer är den cancerform som är vanligast hos kvinnor. Genom tidig upptäckt med bröströntgen, mammografi, kan man behandla sjukdomen i ett tidigare stadium och därmed minska dödligheten. Det är också möjligt att behandla på ett skonsammare sätt vid tidig upptäckt. Därför har man startat hälsokontroller, screeniMammography refers to the X-ray examination of the human breast, and is considered the single most important diagnostic tool in the early detection of breast cancer, which is by far the most common cancer among women. There is good evidence from clinical trials, that mammographic screening can reduce the breast cancer mortality with about 30%. The side effects include a small and age related risk
