Den rättsliga hanteringen av sexualbrott mot barn skiljer sig från den mot vuxna. Hanteringen är särskilt komplicerad vid behandling av sexualbrott mot barn eftersom barn generellt inte kan lämna detaljrika och långa uppgifter vid muntliga utsagor. Detta beror på att deras minneskapacitet, ordförråd och kunskap är begränsad. De kan inte uttrycka sina upplevelser, vilket utgör en svårighet för domsThe legal treatment of sexual offenses against children differs from that against adults. It is particularly complicated in the treatment of sexual offenses against children, as children are generally unable to provide detailed and lengthy information in oral statements. This is because their memory capacity, vocabulary and knowledge are limited. Children experience difficulties in expressing thei

It is a well-known fact that in any Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) design, verification consumes most time and resources. And when it comes to huge designs, finding bugs can be tedious given the area and the complexity. As per Moore’s law, the design complexity is increasing exponentially due to the growing demand for performance. Therefore, On-Chip communication becomes crucial. T

Fjärrvärme är en teknologi som har stor potential att bidra till att möjliggöra ett fossilfritt samhälle. För att uppnå denna potential, finns det dock en del förbättringar som måste göras för att förbättra fjärrvärmeverksamheten i stort, minska förlusterna från systemen och därmed öka konkurrenskraften hos fjärrvärme som teknologi. Ett flertal studier har visat att ett sätt att göra detta, och däDistrict Heating is a technology with the potential to enable a fossil-free society. However, to realize this potential, some improvements need to be made in order to improve District Heating operation at large, decrease losses in the systems, and thus increase the competitiveness of District Heating as a technology. Several have shown that a possible solution, to increase the efficiency of Distri

This thesis aim to increase the understanding of educational divide in the urban environment. The study takes place in Malmö, in many ways a divided city and so even within the school system. Several political decisions were implemented in the early 90s in Sweden to make the educational system more equal and adjusted to individual needs of students. A free-choice of school, private- school-establi

Sammanfattning Marknadsföring är ständigt föränderlig och kräver hela tiden utveckling för att utmana konsumenter. Genom de första bloggarna, skapades en ny marknadsföringsportal som var mer genomträngande än traditionell reklam. Från detta utvecklades influencer-marketing, alltså marknadsföring via sociala medier. Näringsidkare kan använda en influencers plattform som kan en katalysator för ett Abstract Marketing is continuously changing and requires constant development to challenge consumers. Through the first blogs, a new marketing portal was created that was more penetrating than traditional advertising. From this, influencer marketing, i.e. marketing through social media, developed. Businesses can use an influencers platform as a catalyst for a commercial message, where, in additio

Människor följer ofta en liknande process när de söker sig till professionell vård. Upplevelser av vilka skäl de har för att söka rent faktiskt och vägen fram till att de tar beslutet att söka behövs det dock ytterligare forskning om. Därför är det viktigt att undersöka detta för att utröna människors upplevelse av vilka skäl och funderingar de har fram mot att beslutet att söka vård fattas. DettaPeople generally follow a similar process when seeking professional care. Experience of what reasons they have for actually seeking help and their considerations during the process before they make the decision to seek help is, however, insufficiently researched. Hence, it is important to study this in order to find out people's experience of what reasons and considerations they have during th

Addressing electronic waste is crucial for meeting the environmental needs of the 21st Century, as WEEE is one of the fastest growing waste streams. Spain has emerged as one of the top countries globally for per capita mobile phone consumption. For this reason, this thesis focuses on European and Spanish initiatives that am to improve the circularity of mobile phones through repair. In recent year

The role of bridges in the transportation network has become increasingly important as they ensure the smooth and safe passage of people and goods across rivers and other bodies of water. Flowing water impacts bridges over rivers primarily in two ways: (1) Hydrodynamic forces that directly impact the structure and (2) scouring at the pier and abutment, including contraction scour. The design princ

When a state adopts a new law or enforces an existing law, it risks breaching its obligations under an International Investment Agreement (IIA). According to the regulatory chill theory, a state will refrain from regulating due to the risk of being sued by an investor under the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) system. The purpose of the thesis is to examine the issue of the “regulatory chi

The science of climate change stipulates that fossil fuels must be kept in the ground in order for earth's global temperature to stay below the 1.5 degrees' Celsius increase pre-ordained as safe for continued human civilization, and to avoid catastrophic natural, social, and economic disasters. Although this is a scientifically proven and agreed upon, governments around the world continue

Hearing is our second most important sense. The main focus of a surveillance camera is obviously the video but the audio shouldn't be neglected. It is possible to hear what the camera can't see and what is said in a conversation can't be showed in a video. Therefore there are good reasons to always try and achieve the best audio possible. This is not an easy task since cameras are oper

Climate change is a long-term challenge that requires urgent actions. An increased amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing changes in the climate system such as melting glaciers and extreme weather conditions, are correlated to economic growth. To mitigate climate change, there is a need to evolve efficient strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from companies within all branc

Global warming and climate change is getting a serious issue and a great environmental threat that affects many aspects of life and our ways of living on this planet. The negative effects of climate change are endangering our communities, health and economy. Global warming can be considered as a main reason for sea rising levels, extreme heat which is responsible for many forests’ fires, severe dr

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om faderskapspresumtionen spelat ut sin roll och huruvida den är förenlig med barnets bästa. Faderskapspresumtionen är känd redan från den romerska rätten och innebär att när en gift kvinna får barn antas hennes make vara far till barnet. När ett barn föds av en ogift moder måste faderskapet fastställas genom bekräftelse eller dom. Föreliggande uppsats preThe purpose of this essay is to investigate if the presumption of legitimacy has had its day and if it is compatible with the child’s best interest. The presumption of legitimacy is known all the way back from Roman law and means that the husband of a women is pressumed to be the father to the child to whom she gives birth. When a unmarried woman gives birth to a child, the paternity is establishe

Validation of gene × environment interaction results from epidemiological studies in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) is usually hampered by insufficient statistical power. Genotype-based recall (GBR) refers to the design of studies in which subgroups of the population are selected based on their genotypes. In this thesis we test if a GBR approach of recruiting two groups of participants with dis

This report is the written result of a Master Thesis conducted at the Division of Machine Design at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. The project has been carried out in collaboration with BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems (TTS) AB in Landskrona. The car industry is growing vastly and thereby the associated levels of CO2 emissions. Extensive and sharpened regulations are continuously b

Mätningar av magnetisk hysteresis har genomförts på sedimentborrkärnor med hög tidsupplösning för att studera om sedimentkornstorleken kan relateras till relativ bottenströmshastighet. Mätningarna utfördes på tre borrkärnor, en från Nordatlanten och två från Norska havet. Hysteresismätningar är känsliga för variationer i de magnetiska kornstorlekarna (Day et al. 1977) och anses vara representativaHigh-resolution magnetic hysteresis measurements were carried out on three sediment cores, one from the North Atlantic and two from the Norwegian Sea. These measurements can be used to reconstruct changes in magnetic grain-size. Physical grain-size has been interpreted as a proxy for bottom current intensity (McCave et al. 1995) and this study shows that the hysteresis measurements can contribute

Seveberggrunden i nordöstra Kebnekaise domineras av amfiboliter och ögongnejser. Detta examensarbete beskriver tektonostratigrafin i två nyckelområden (Nallo och norra Mårma). Seven i nordöstra Kebnekaise korreleras med den övre Seven söderut i Kebnekaise samt norrut mot Abisko och Indre Troms. I specialstudier identifieras moderbergarterna för en nyupptäckt gnejs samt för två typer av ögongnejserThe Seve Nappe Complex in the Kebnekaise Mts. is dominated by metabasites (Kebne Dyke Complex) and mylonitic gneisses. This study describes the tectonostratigraphy in two key areas (Nallo and Mårma) and investigates the origin of a granitic gneiss and two varieties of augen gneiss. The Kebne Dyke Complex consists of thin dark bands of amphibolite in a metagabbro, interpreted to represent dolerite

The purpose of our report was to analyze the effects of youth drug abuse on the families concerned. Youth drug abuse made us wonder about the effects on the family as a whole, of those involved with drug abuse. To answer this question, we decided to employ an empiric study in the form of interviews with four teenagers, five parents and four drug counselors. Because our intent was to understand rat

This thesis aims to offer insights into the initiation and development of modern (rural) bioenergy systems. For this reason, the thesis explores the formation, evolution and regional effects of three bioenergy projects ? a biodiesel cooperative, a biomass district heating plant and a biogas plant ? that are co-located within the small rural community of Mureck, in Austria. It finds that the three
