Denna uppsats har två syften. Det första syftet är att utreda hur filmcensur för vuxna i Sverige har utvecklats, motiverats och kritiserats mellan 1911-2011 med hjälp av den rättshistoriska metoden. Uppsatsens andra syfte är att utreda om lagstiftarens sätt att motivera filmcensuren för vuxna någonsin var hållbar utifrån ett kritiskt perspektiv. Avhandlingen använder främst förarbeten till lagarThis essay has two aims. The first purpose is to investigate how movie censorship for adults in Sweden has been developed, motivated and criticized between 1911-2011 using the legal historical method. The essay's second purpose is to investigate whether the legislator's way of justifying film censorship for adults was ever sustainable from a critical perspective. The thesis mainly uses pr
Svenska samhället har på senare år drabbats hårt av organiserad brottslighet, med gängrelaterade konflikter som eskalerat och allt yngre individer som rekryteras till kriminella miljöer. Detta har lett till ett ökande gängvåld, inklusive skjutningar och sprängningar, vilket skapat oro bland allmänheten och myndigheterna. Polisen, som spelar en central roll i bekämpningen av denna brottslighet, harSwedish society has in recent years been severely affected by organized crime. Gang-related conflicts have been escalating and the recruitment to criminal environments goes further and further down the ages. As a result, this has led to an increasing amount of gang violence, including shootings and bombings, which has created a growing concern among the public and authorities. The police, who pla
Sverige har under lång tid haft en restriktiv alkoholpolitik. Sverige är också medlem i Europeiska unionen, där huvudregeln är fri rörlighet av varor. Denna skiljelinje har inneburit att Sverige visserligen fått behålla ett detaljhandelsmonopol (Systembolaget), men också att en möjlighet för svenskar att privat importera alkoholhaltiga drycker för eget bruk införts. År 2023 lämnade Högsta domstoleSweden has long pursued a restrictive alcohol policy. Sweden is also a member of the European Union, where the the free movement of goods is a general principle. This dividing line has resulted in Sweden getting to retain a retail monopoly (Systembolaget), however the possibility for Swedes to privately import alcoholic beverages for their private consumption was introduced. In 2023, the Swedish S
The upcoming implementation of the ReFuelEU Aviation Initiative presents both challenges and opportunities for the European aviation sector. Starting January 2025, the EU’s aviation fuel mix must include at least 2% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), leading to higher operating costs for airlines due to SAF’s higher price than fossil kerosene. Additionally, the entire fuel supply chain will need to
Fresh water resources face risks due to urbanisation, economic development, and climate change (CC). Many small and medium-sized cities (SMCs) are particularly vulnerable to these risks due to the lower resource capacity required to mitigate them. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for water resource management (WRM) are promising to tackle these issues in urban areas while providing extra benefits to s
Morocco’s occupation of Western Sahara is being justified by Morocco attracting investments to the Western Sahara territory without the consent of the people of Western Sahara. This comes with numerous human rights violations, to which the investments contribute. The prevalence of human rights and the conditionality for it in investment treaties has been discussed by scholars and proven to be near
The purpose of this research was to examine existing governance arrangements within the Australian federal public service and possible improvements for managing systemic risks at a national level. While there has been greater attention and discussion on systemic risks recently, research on how to govern systemic risk remains in its infancy. Where systemic risk governance is discussed, it is genera
Böcker och läsning är ett centralt motiv i berättelsen om Jane Eyre (1847), vilket på många sätt bidrar till framställningen av karaktärisering, världsbygge och narrativets framfart. Det finns särskilt samband mellan framställningen av böcker och läsning och framställningen av makt och maktdynamiker i Jane Eyre. Tidigare forskning om böcker och läsepraktiker i Jane Eyre har fokuserat på den allusiBooks and reading are a central motif within the narrative of Jane Eyre (1847) by Charlotte Brontë and contributes in many ways to the depiction of characterisation, world-building, and the progression of the narrative. In particular, there are correlations between the depiction of books and reading and the depiction of power and power dynamics in Jane Eyre. Previous research into books and readin
In this thesis, a fault detection and diagnosis system is developed for the Crazyflie 2.1 unmanned aerial vehicle. Different types of faults are investigated and suitable methods and tests are implemented. The system is mainly developed for the lighthouse positioning, but the tests and methods are generic and suitable for other parts of the Crazyflie eco-system. For the faults investigated, differ
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent psychiatric condition and poses a significant burden on public health. The underlying causes and mechanisms of depression remain poorly understood. There is a growing body of evidence linking microRNAs (miRNAs) to major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the causal relationship between miRNAs and MDD remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate t
High-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) accounts for most ovarian cancer deaths, due to it often being diagnosed at late stages (III and IV). However, there is currently no early screening method sufficient for improving survival rates. HGSC primarily harbors structural variants, typically copy number (CN) aberrations caused by homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). CN can be calculated based on re
Cultural values and beliefs within the jazz community have intrigued social scientists for a long time. Being one of the oldest recognised subcultures, jazz has been celebrated for its socio-political ambitions as well as the complexity and aesthetics of the music itself. Being recognised as an outlet for fighting social injustices throughout history, the notable exclusion of female jazz musicians
The Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus) faces imminent endangerment due to climate change resulting in the declining population of its primary prey, the European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). With ongoing environmental shifts, this threat intensifies, heightening the risk of extinction for the species. The aim of this study was to explore a potential conservation strategy; the possibility of relocating

The study analyses three of Frontex's annual risk analysis reports through a qualitative content analysis with a theoretical framework on human security. The results show that Fro
Genom en analys av rättspraxis visar studien på skillnad i hur domstolar bedömer straffansvaret. Kravet på kunskap eller medvetenhet om prostitutionen har visat sig vara centralt för att fastställa straffrättsligt ansvar, men tolkningen av vad som utgör ett främjande varierar mellan olika fall. Till exempel anser vissa domar att det är tillräckligt att medvetet bidra till en partners prostitution,This paper examines the criminal liability for procuration under Swedish law, with a particular focus on cases where prostitution occurs within cohabitation or marriage. With the help of a legal-dogmatic method, current law and legal practice are analysed. This paper highlights the legal challenges that arise when everyday activities within close relationships - such as childcare or household chor
Poly(vinyl chloride) has a long history of use in the flooring industry. Throughout the years, several environmental and health issues have arisen concerning the production, usage and disposal of PVC. Forbo Flooring Systems is a company striving to provide environmentally friendly products for their customers, and therefore has an investigation of alternative polymers to PVC been initiated. The ai
Consumers evaluate each step of their journey, which influences consumer’s expectations for further experiences and future intentions. Accordingly, past experiences are stored in consumers’ memory but each part of the journey will not be remembered. What drives further behaviours and intentions are the events of the experience that are considered more emotional and atypical, also called peaks. The
Tropical rainforests cover large parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo. In light of recent surges in deforestation in the country, protected areas are a decisive component of the national conservation strategy. Intended to preserve ecosystems, the way in which these areas are organized can have vital implications for people who reside within them through the changes they cause to environmental
