Vid revideringen av brottsbalken 1989 infördes det billighetsskäl i 29 kap. 5 § BrB som rätten utöver brottets straffvärde ska beakta vid straffmätningen. Omständigheterna som räknas upp i paragrafen är sådana som inträffat efter brottets genomförande eller som har med den tilltalades personliga omständigheter att göra. Rätten får, med stöd av billighetsskälen, döma till lindrigare straff än vad s
The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether active fund management gives higher risk adjusted returns in comparison to index funds. This will be done by the use of three different performance measures, Sharpe ratio, Treynor ratio, and Jensen’s Alpha, the aim is to examine 116 mutual funds in the Swedish fund market over the time period of 2016-2021. By using Ordinary Least Squares, with a dum
The aim of this study was to investigate how and why people misperceive the magnitude of economic differences. It was hypothesized that news consumption frequency, rationality and abstract-mindedness would predict accuracy in estimations of economic differences; and that economic ideology motivation would predict inaccuracy in estimations of economic differences. Moreover, it was hypothesized that
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between respiratory symptoms, lung function and inflammatory markers in 'healthy' smokers. The study population was recruited from an epidemiological study with subjects of the same age, 60 years. Only smokers who considered themselves healthy (n=58) and a random sample of never-smokers (n=34) were investigated. All subjects underwent lung fun
Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUV) have the potential to play a dominating role in future scientific efforts to understand and model biological systems through the creation of artificial cells. GUV:s span a wide range of possible applications that include their use as biosensors, cell encapsulation agents and biomicroreactors. In order to allow GUV:s to reach their full potential, efficient, reliabl
Understanding factors that limit gene flow through the landscape is crucial for conservation of organisms living in fragmented habitats. We analysed patterns of gene flow in Elater ferrugineus, an endangered click beetle living in old-growth, hollow trees in a network of rural avenues surrounded by inhospitable arable land. Using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) data, we aimed to eval
NURBS (Non-uniform rational B-splines) surfaces are one of the most useful primitives employed for high quality modeling in CAD/CAM tools and graphics software. Since direct evaluation of NURBS surfaces on the GPU is a highly complex task, the usual approach for rendering NURBS is to perform the conversion into Bezier surfaces on the CPU, and then evaluate and tessellate them on the GPU. In this p
Insulin NPH (neutral protamine hagedorn) has for long been one of the most important therapeutic formulations for the treatment of diabetes. The protracted action profile of NPH formulations is gained from crystallizing insulin with zinc in the presence of the basic poly-arginine peptide protamine. In spite of its long history and successful use, the binding mode of the insulin-protamine complex i
AIM OF THE STUDY: This phenomenological study is aimed at illuminating nurses' lived experience of the process of preceptoring and the meaning of preceptorship in a Swedish context. METHODS: Seventeen nurses from the North of Sweden with varied previous experience of preceptorship volunteered to participate. Their narratives, describing their experience of being a personal preceptor for a student
This thesis is divided into two parts in which two different aspects of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Project are discussed. The first part describes the design of a transition radiation tracker (TRT) for the inner detector in ATLAS. In particular, the barrel part was studied in detail. The barrel TRT consists of 52 544 1.5-m-long proportional tubes (straws), parallel to the beam axis and each
This paper estimates and simulates a New-Keynesian small-scale DSGE macro model. The model consists of the hybrid forms of the Phillips curve and the IS curve, and is closed with a Taylor-type feedback rule allowing partial adjustment of the monetary policy instrument. We estimate the three-equation system simultaneously on Swedish data 1995:Q1 to 2014:Q4 with the FIML estimator. The empirical par
I denna uppsats bearbetas förhållandet kring regleringen i 22 kapitlet 2 § 3 stycket 2 meningen jordabalken, innefattande det för svenska fastigheter så kallade förbudet mot interregionala inteckningar. På grund av den stämpelskatt som enligt 24 § lagen (1984:404) om stämpelskatt vid inskrivningsmyndigheten påförs inteckningsinnehavaren vid nyregistrering av inteckning, utgör befintliga inteckningThe thesis deals with the conditions surrounding the regulation in chapter 22, section 2, paragraph 3, paragraph 2, land Code (Swe: jordabalken), including the prohibition on interregional mortgages for Swedish properties. Due to the stamp duty, that is charged to an additional mortgage holder pursuant to section 24 of the Stamp Tax Act (1984: 404; Swe: Lagen om stämpelskatt vid inskrivningsmyndig
The Lunar Light House project was developed to provide a novel system of protection against cosmic radiation specifically for a surface Lunar base. It’s main target was to find a technical solution which would allow for more freedom in shaping the base structure and also potentially for introducing natural sun light. At the time of developing this project, there seldom were any ideas as to how t
When an agitator is in commission for an extended period of time the impellers can become clogged. In order to clean the impeller, the agitator is runned backwards. This is one of the main functions for a product that CG Drives & Automation is developing for a customer in the agitator business. The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to develop and test this product for CG Drives & Automati
The genre of the Irish “Big House” novel is one deeply entrenched in historical context. To be unaware of the setting, and the significance of identity within it, lessens the understanding and impact of character, motivations, and conflict in the text. This essay discusses and analyses displays of identity through language, subtext, and history in two novels in the Big House genre: Castle Rackrent
This thesis discusses how self-preferential behaviour of Internet platforms is regulated in the EU and China under the competition law framework. The purpose of the study is to compare the strategies and practices of these two jurisdictions in terms of legislation and enforcement in order to answer the following research questions: what are the limits on self- preferential behaviour of Internet pl
Sustainable finance plays a crucial role in driving sustainable development forward, and as the market grows more accustomed to ESG measures and targets, novel debt instruments have been emerging as a result. Green bonds and sustainability-linked bonds are two financial instruments that play an important role in supporting sustainable development. In this study, these two bond types are examined t
The evolution into a networked society, where a wide variety of devices are connected to the Internet, opens up many new opportunities for creating smart products and applications that dynamically adapt to the current environment. A common scenario will be that applications require or benefit from using several devices at the same time for the execution. Such distributed applications may be comple
