Clay as a craft material has fascinated me for a long time. It is a very versatile material that can be so smooth and ductile but also, after firing, extremely hard and strong. Why is this material, with all its characteristics not used as an architectural material more often?

I syfte att få en bild av subjektiva upplevelser av självet hos personer med schizofreni intervjuades fyra personer som är eller har varit diagnostiserade med schizofreni och/eller har upplevt återkommande psykotiska episoder. Självet definierades utifrån the minimal self som innebär en omedelbar, upplevelsemässig realitet, och schizofreni som en störning i självet snarare än närvaro och utbredninIn purpose of gaining insight into subjective experiences of the self in people with schizophrenia, four people, who have or have had schizophrenia and/or have experienced recurring psychotic episodes, were interviewed.

En effektivare överprövning av offentlig upphandling har under en längre tid varit en fråga som behandlats både i det svenska rättsväsendet och i EU. Problemet med överprövningsprocessen har främst varit att de varit att det har tagit för lång tid och resulterat till att upphandlingar har behövt göras om. Som lösning på denna problematik har frågan om preklusionsfrister behandlats i bland annat SA more effective process for review of public procurement has been a subject of discussion, both in Sweden and in the EU.

Av skuldprincipen följer att ett brott inte föreligger såvida gärningen inte företagits med uppsåt. I uppsåtsrekvisitet ligger ett allmänt krav på medvetenhet. Uppfyllande av detta krav utgör en nödvändighet för att uppsåt ska anses föreligga. Vart gränsen för medvetenhet går har utformats i praxis och doktrin och bedömningen åligger domstolarna. Medvetenhetskravet torde bli särskilt aktuellt i d
