Högsta domstolen har i sitt avgörande NJA 2014 s. 684 etablerat en fullmaktstyp som ibland går under benämningen ”tillitsfullmakt”. Fullmakt – rätten att företräda annan med bindande verkan för denne – kan enligt denna praxis grundas på befogad tillit som alternativ till viljeförklaring. I mångt och mycket kan avgörandet ses som en vidareutveckling av tidigare praxis på området. Det har dock tillf

Undersökningens syfte var att göra en kvalitetsutvärdering i en kommunal verksamhet för att undersöka resultaten av behandlingsmetoden KIBB (Kognitiv integrerad behandling vid misstanke om barnmisshandel) och dess effekt på de våldsutsatta barnens mående. Samtliga data har tillhandahållits av verksamheten. Undersökningsgruppen har bestått av föräldrar och barn som deltagit i KIBB-behandling under The purpose of the study was to perform a quality evaluation in a social services agency, to examine the results of CPC-CBT (Combined Parent-Child Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and its effect on the well-being of children subjected to violence. All data has been provided by the agency. The study sample consisted of families who participated in CPC-CBT during a limited time. One research question

With climate change as one of our most acute current issues and a large share of the population living in urban areas, the bicycle is often seen as a sustainable solution. In Sweden, personal car use is responsible for a large share of the pollution. The benefits of cycling reach from improvements in personal health, to economic gains and a more environmentally sustainable transport system. The ci

Despite stable growth in the national population, many rural municipalities in Sweden are suffering from persistent population decline. Because of the severe consequences this has for their economy and capacity to deliver welfare, many are anxious to find strategies to deal with the situation. This essay examines the local perspective on rural shrinkage by attempting to answer the question: How ca

The brutal and inhuman strategies of violence that characterizes Boko Haram and the Islamic State (IS) have resulted in them being classified as two of the world’s most lethal terrorist organizations. In the study of terrorism, the role of women has often been marginalised, neglected or excluded. Terrorism has hence often been portrayed as an exclusively male phenomenon. Despite this widespread be

För en person med funktionsnedsättning kan det finnas hinder som innebär att rätten till delaktighet i arbetslivet på lika villkor som andra begränsas. Denna utredning syftar till att med den rättsdogmatiska metoden utreda vad som innefattas i arbetsgivarens ansvar att motverka diskriminering och främja personer med funktionsnedsättnings rätt till deltagande i arbetslivet.

This project is about focusing a Gaussian laser beam that has a spatial phase profile applied by a spatial light modulator. The goal is to be able to control the shape, position and phase of the peak at the focus and to split up the peak at the focus into several peaks. Controlling the profile of the beam at the focus has interesting applications for opto-optical modulation. A code was written in

Influenza is the causative agent of the flu. Symptoms usually include fever, coughing, and general malaise. Besides the general societal burden, influenza can also threaten global health when mixing its genome with influenza viruses in birds or pigs, as exemplified by the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. The virus uses its proteins haemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) to get in or away from host c
