At the same time the region successfully reduced the prevailing income inequality, apparently without compromising economic growth. These events seem to challenge the common belief of economists, who proclaim the mutual exclusiveness of growth pro

This master’s dissertation has been performed in cooperation with Tyréns and the Dept. of Construction Sciences, LTH. We have investigated if it is possible to increase the total stability for excavations with retaining structures and if each side of an excavation could be treated as a separate 2D-case with additional theories to approximate its 3D-effects. End-surface theories from the Commissio

En stor del av våldsbrotten i Sverige begås av gärningsmän som handlat under självförvållat rus. Hur man straffrättsligt ska behandla den här kategorin av lagöverträdare är ett ämne som givit upphov till debatter kring vad som är den lämpligaste lösningen. Skuldbedömningen för personer som begått brott under inverkan av rusningsmedel har förändrats ett flertal gånger genom svensk rättshistoria, trA large number of the violent crimes that are committed in Sweden involve an intoxicated offender.

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka de straffskärpningar som har genomförts på 2000-talet ur ett straffrättsideologiskt perspektiv. Undersökningen utgår från frågeställningen om straffskärpningarna ger uttryck för ett straffrättsideologiskt trendbrott, och om det går att tala om en avideologisering av straffrätten. Historiskt sett har svensk straffrätt präglats av både absoluta och relThe purpose of this paper is to examine the 21st century reforms that have been aimed at increasing the criminal penalties in Swedish criminal law from a penal theoretical perspective.

Historically, the Swedish criminal

I denna uppsats beskrivs och analyseras bestämmelsen om panoramafrihet. Först och främst behandlas svensk rätt men utblickar görs även till övriga nordiska länder. En utblick görs även till EU:s arbete avseende upphovsrättsliga bestämmelser om panoramafrihet och dess effekt på den digitala marknaden.

Företagens minutiösa och komplicerade skatteupplägg innebär ofta att företag erhåller en av lagstiftaren icke avsedd skatteförmån. Den uppfinningsrikedom företag uppvisar när det kommer till kringgående av skattelag är i princip gränslös. Samtidigt kan inte lagstiftningen i samma utsträckning täppa igen luckorna i lagen. Detta medför att det finns ett behov av effektiv och omfattande skattelagstifAggressive use of tax avoidance by multinational companies results in a reduced tax burden unintended by the legislator. The creativity with which companies circumvent tax law is virtually boundless. At the same time the legislation struggles to correct the loopholes, resulting in the need for effective and extensive anti-tax law. The essay will first study the different methods of preventing tax

This thesis has investigated the potential benefits of using transfer learning when training convolu- tional neural networks for the task of autonomously driving a car. Three transfer learning networks were trained and compared with a conventionally trained convolutional neural network. The first conclusion is that training, as expected, is considerably quicker when using transfer learning. More s

I den här studien karakteriseras fenomenet anaerob korrosion utifrån både litteraturstudier om korrosionsprocesser och korrosionsprodukter samt genom undersökning av fältprover från betongkonstruktioner i salthaltiga undervattensmiljöer i södra Sverige. Anaerob korrosion av armering i vattenmättad betong är ett omfattande men hittills relativt ouppmärksammat problem. Detta fenomen kan leda till alIn this study, the phenomenon of black corrosion is characterized by both literature studies on corrosion processes and corrosion products, and by analyzing field samples from saline subaqueous concrete structures in southern Sweden. Anaerobic corrosion of reinforcement in water-saturated concrete is an extensive but yet relatively unnoticed problem. This phenomenon can lead to serious damages tha

År 2014 antogs direktiv 2014/65EU, även kallat MiFID II. Direktivet reglerar bland annat hur finansiella institut ska organisera sin verksamhet för att skydda kundernas intresse i de fall kunderna handlar med finansiella instrument. Direktivet är skrivet med ett starkt kundskydd och harmoniserad inre marknad som mål. Två år senare, 2016, antogs direktiv 2016/97, även kallat IDD.

Jag undersöker om det uppmärksammade Liljafallet har förtydligat gällande rätt och om regleringen kan anses rättssäker och förutsebar. Ansvarsfrihetsgrunderna som kan motiverar tillåtlighet i annars brottsliga våldsgärningar är den oskrivna undantagsregeln enligt läran In the essay I examine the regulation on excluding criminal liability for assaults conducted by a player towards another player, while playing ice hockey and comparable contact sports. I investigate whether the precedent “Liljafallet” has clarified the applicable law and whether the regulation can be regarded as legally secure and if it is predictable for the individual athlete. The rule of consen
