In this paper, we show how studies of fracture mineral paragenesis, their orientation and Ar-40/Ar-39 geochronology can be applied in order to recognise the brittle tectonothermal evolution in an area. Samples were selected from nearly 18 km of drill cores from the upper I km of the Fennoscandian Shield obtained during the site investigation for a repository of spent nuclear fuel in Forsmark, cent

Disperse dyes are common sensitizers among textile dyes. Contact allergy to disperse dyes has been documented in studies carried out in southern Europe, however, corresponding studies have not been performed in the Scandinavian countries. The aim of this study was thus to evaluate the prevalence of allergic reactions to a mix of textile dyes consisting of 8 disperse dyes: Disperse (D) Blue 35, 10

Användningen av juridiskt oskolade, s.k. lekmän, i den dömande verksamheten är ett återkommande fenomen i många av världens länder. I svensk rätt använder vi oss av ett särskilt institut med lekmannadomare, det s.k. nämndemannasystemet. Systemet med nämndemän i svenska domstolar kan dateras ca 800 år tillbaka i tiden, och har under denna tid till form såväl som funktion förändrats avsevärt. NämndeThe use of non-scholars in courts, i.e. laymen, is a reoccurring phenomenon all over the world. In Swedish law we use a particular institute with lay judges, called nämndemannasystemet. This system has a history of around 800 years in Swedish law and has over the years altered greatly in regards to both structure and function. The lay judges have gone from originally constituting a means of eviden

Den skattemässiga behandlingen av olika företagsformer skiljer åt inom nationell rätt. Genom att ett företag klassificeras som ett delägarbeskattat subjekt i ett land och som ett eget skattesubjekt i ett annat land kan hybrida missmatchningar uppstå. I syfte att neutralisera effekterna av hybrida missmatchningar infördes ränteavdragsförbudsregler 1 januari 2019 i Sverige. Bestämmelserna utgör en iThe tax treatment of different entities, within a jurisdiction, differs. If an entity is classified as transparent for tax purposes in one state and as opaque in another state, hybrid mismatches can arise. In order to neutralize the effects of hybrid mismatches, new provisions, prohibiting interest deduction, were introduced in Sweden on 1 January 2019. The regulation constitutes an implementation

Den 2 juli 2014 infördes lagändringar om bygglovsbefriade åtgärder i syfte att förenkla plan- och bygglovsprocessen, minska bostadsbristen och att fastighetsägare skulle få mer handlingsutrymme utan att krav ställs från myndigheter. I samband med lagändringarna infördes regler om bygglovsbefriade komplementbostadshus i 9 kap. 4 a § PBL. En byggnad som får utgöra maximalt 25 kvadratmeter och som skThe Swedish Government has recently initiated additional permit-free buildings with the aim to simplify the Planning and Building act, reduce the housing shortage and increase a property owner’s proprietorship. According to the amendment it is possible to construct a complementary home with the size of 25 square meters in close proximity to an existing house. This building is known as an Attefall

As a respond to the development of Internet and Digital technologies, EU listed creation of Digital Single Market (hereinafter referred to as: “DSM”) as a strategic goal. The development of DSM would contribute in securing competitiveness within the Union. Establishment of DSM inevitably raises an issue of data management in the EU and in order to successfully form DSM, EU needs to create a harmon

This thesis is focused on electronic cigarettes and the formulations (also known as e-juices) associated with these. The reason is that there have been countless studies on the health effects and nicotine delivery of normal cigarettes, but not as much on electronic cigarettes. This work aims to provide some insights into how electronic cigarettes behaves as nicotine delivery system. The overall re

In recent decades, there has been significant attention on the decline in insect populations, including moths and hover flies. To tackle this issue, innovative methods such as entomological LiDAR technology have revolutionized the remote identification of free-flying insects. The distinct spectral reflection from moth and hover fly wings enables precise differentiation between species and sexes. W

Small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) are a complex solution for Saskatchewan’s energy transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon sources. As Saskatchewan predominantly relies on fossil fuels for its electricity needs, the consideration of SMRs by SaskPower is in hopes of decreasing carbon emissions and maintaining energy security. SMRs offer several advantages, including modularity, grid stabilit

With an increasing emphasis on sustainability, and the necessity to align with new regulations, companies face the challenge of transforming their business models to incorporate circularity. Many companies today operate according to a linear business model, where products are designed for consummation and disposal. However, to comply with new demands surrounding sustainability, companies will need

Den 1 januari 2022 fick 2 kap. brottsbalken, innehållandes regler om svensk straffrättslig jurisdiktion, en helt ny lydelse. Reformen innebar förändringar av jurisdiktionsreglernas innehåll så väl som struktur, och hade delvis som mål att närmare anpassa den svenska rätten till folkrätten. Följande arbete syftar till att utvärdera huruvida den nya jurisdiktionsrätten uppnår denna målsättning. För On 1 January 2022 an extensive reform of Chapter 2 of the Swedish Criminal Code, which contains rules pertaining to criminal jurisdiction, entered into force. This reform carried with it major changes in both structure and material content and was partially intended to align Swedish law more closely with international law on the matter of criminal jurisdiction. The following paper aims to evaluate

Semi-natural grasslands in Scandinavia have been created by humans since many millennia ago, but the agricultural intensification in the last few centuries caused them to decline heavily. Accordingly, the biodiversity associated to these open, nutrient-poor habitats declined as well and many remnant populations are slowly declining and threatened to go extinct. In this study, I focused on declin

Uppsatsen belyser den problematik som omfamnar ensamkommande barns rätt till uppehållstillstånd i Sverige genom synnerligen ömmande omständigheter, särskilt med tanke på lagändringen i december 2023 som gör det svårare för barn att få uppehållstillstånd beviljat. Detta bekräftas även av statistiken som visar att en betydande minskning av beviljade ansökningar skett året efter lagändringen. UtvecklThe essay highlights the issues surrounding unaccompanied minors' right to residence in Sweden under "particularly distressing circumstances," especially in light of the legislative change in december 2023 that makes it more difficult for children to be granted residence permits. This is confirmed by statistics showing a significant decrease in approved applications in the year follo
