Fiskefartyg är obeväpnade civila fartyg och utgör som sådana ingen större fara för rättsvårdande myndigheter som besitter betydligt större våldskapital. Ändå förekommer det att kustbevakningar använder sig av eldgivning med skarp ammunition under insatser mot fiskefartyg. Att detta sker i haven medför att det flera gånger rör sig om utländskt registrerade fartyg, och våldsutövandet blir på så sättFishing vessels are unarmed civilian crafts and thus constitutes no greater threat to law enforcing agencies who have greater capabilities. Still there are numerous accounts of coast guards firing live rounds at fishing vessels conducting illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing during maritime law enforcement operations. The fact that this use of force takes place at sea occasionally results i

Klimatkrisen, befolkningstillväxten och alltmer ansträngt elförsörjning. Vad måste Skånes eldistributörer göra för att säkerställa att elen levereras till dig i framtiden? Vilka utmaningar står de inför? Risk- och sårbarhetsanalys är ett viktigt steg i att reducera risker och minimera sårbarheter i samhället, dvs. ett sätt för att öka samhällets förmåga att förbereda sig inför kriser och extraordTo gain increased understanding of how long-term societal trends affect the southern Swedish electric distribution systems, a risk and vulnerability assessment was conducted with the help of literature analysis, interview and Matlab simulations. A representative distribution network was created to mimic Helsingborgs network, owned by Öresundskraft. A comprehensive literature study and interview wi

De senaste åren har svenska domstolar ställts inför en ny invändning i våldtäktsmål. Invändningen gäller sexsomni vilket innebär att den tilltalade begått den sexuella handlingen i sömnen och att uppsåt för handlingen således har saknats. När åklagaren i dessa fall inte lyckats motbevisa invändningen har domstolen tvingats fria den tilltalande från ansvar. En tidigare historia av somnambulism elleIn the past few years Swedish courts have been faced with a new objection in cases concerning rape. The objection is that of sexsomnia which means that the defendant committed the sexual act in their sleep and therefore lacked criminal intent for their actions. When the prosecution in these cases have not been able to offer evidence to disprove the objection, the courts have had to present a non-g

År 2021 infaller 70års jubiléet av 1951 års flyktingkonvention – en historisk överenskommelse och garant för mänskliga rättigheter som ger människor som riskerar att utsättas för förföljelse i sitt hemland rätten att söka skydd i en annan stat. Genom flyktingkonventionen får flyktingar rätt till flertalet rättigheter och alla personer som uppfyller flyktingdefinitionen har rätt att söka skydd i nåThe year of 2021 marks the 70th anniversary of the 1951 Refugee Convention, under the Convention refugees are entitled to several basic survival and dignity rights and any person that is a refugee in the eyes of international law is entitled to claim the rights within the Convention in any of the 150 state parties, including EU Member States. However, as the issue of migration within the EU h

Människohandel för sexuella ändamål är ett växande globalt problem. I samband med pandemin har den svenska gränspolisen rapporterat in misstankar om ökad människohandel till Sverige från länder med en mer omfattande nedstängning. Offren för denna typ av exploatering är i regel unga kvinnor som är på flykt från utsatta situationer i sina hemländer. I Sverige möter de en efterfrågan på billiga sexuHuman trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation is a growing global issue. In connection with the pandemic, the Swedish Border Police have reported suspicions of increased human trafficking to Sweden from countries with a more extensive lock-down. The victims of this type of exploitation are usually young women fleeing vulnerable situations in their home countries. In Sweden, they meet a

After the financial crisis in 2008, governments became more aware about how multinational enterprises exploited gaps in the architecture of the international tax system in the globalized world to artificially shift profits to places where there was little or no taxation. It is estimated that base erosion and profit shifting cost countries 100-240 billion USD in lost revenue annually which is equal

The present study examines the discussions about alliance policy in the Swedish council of the realm 1680-1683. Taking issue with earlier research that has portrayed the Swedish foreign policy during this period in realist terms, the study instead uses the concepts of friendship, status and sovereignty to give context to the arguments used by the council when discussing alliance partners.

It is impossible to conceive our modern world without plastics. Since the mass production of plastics began, humanity has produced around 8 billion tons of plastic waste, and only 9% has been recycled. Terephthalic acid polymers such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) have been massively produced over the last years thanks to their characteristics and applications. Due to their limited biodegra

En innovationsprocess ska ta en idé hela vägen från forskning till marknaden. Detta är dock en lång process i vilken många barriärer kan uppstå. För det här examensarbetet har en fältstudie gjorts på ett stort svenskt industriföretag, med syftet att undersöka deras materialinnovationsprocess. De har upplevt att de möter utmaningar när resultaten av en innovation ska överföras från Forskning och UAn innovation process should take an idea all the way from research to the market. However, this is a long process in which many barriers can appear. For this thesis, a case study has been conducted, at a large Swedish industrial manufacturing company, with the purpose to examine their material innovation process. They have experienced challenges when transferring the results of the innovation fr

This essay seeks to address how power asymmetries or structural biases may affect how European Union (EU) law considers market actors and the freedom to conduct a business, combining EU legal methodology with feminist and queer legal and political theory. The research finds that the EU is a purposive order, whose primary objectives inform the EU legal order and the development of EU law. EU functi

Background The widespread antibiotic resistance is an imminent problem in today’s world. As the number of antibiotic resistance cases increase, it is inevitable to discover alternate treatment options. Probiotics could be one of the potentially important avenues which could be exploited to treat antibiotic resistance and other infections. The holistic approach of probiotics in exerting their benef

In recent years, digital technologies provided new affordances for movement leaders as communication strategies in political protests in order to advance democratisation processes, especially in less developed countries. In Ethiopia, numerous protests have been taken place lately, which were mainly organised along ethnic lines on the basis of nationalist sentiments. Political activists in Tigray,

Sent i oktober 2012 så orsakade orkanen Sandy stor skada på de Karibiska öarna men senare även i USA, New Jersey, då som ett extratropiskt system. Vädersystemet var annorlunda på många vis jämfört med en "normal" orkan med avseende på dess bana, avsaknaden av ett öga och dess enorma storlek. Dessa egenskaper berodde alla på den rådande cirkulationen i den övre troposfären. Det var växelvIn late October 2012 hurricane Sandy caused a lot of damage to the islands in the Caribbean Sea and later on (as an extratropical cyclone) to the United States; New Jersey. The system was different in many ways relative to “normal” hurricanes, e.g. its track, its lack of eye at times it was classified as a hurricane and its great size which all partly was due to the prevailing circulations in the

Over the past 30 to 40 years comprehensive fishery policies and certification schemes have attempted to halt the rapid decline and exploitation of commercial fish stocks. However, with seafood as one of the most globalized food commodities and the world’s population increasing exponentially, most commercial stocks are thought to be on the brink of collapse. Some estimates exclaiming that all comme
