Frågan om det i svensk rätt existerar en ansvarsbefriande, oskriven undantagsregel vid tillfällig sinnesförvirring har stått obesvarad sedan införandet av brottsbalken (1962:700) år 1965. I mars 2020 tog Högsta domstolen (HD) upp frågan till prövning. Målet benämns ’Vanföreställningen’ och utgör grunden för examensarbetet. I ’Vanföreställningen’ avvisade HD att det finns en oskriven undantagsregEver since the Penal Code was established in Sweden there has been uncertainties regarding how to try liability when a crime is committed during a state of temporary insanity. Does an unwritten rule of exception, which discharges from liability, exist? In a case named ‘Vanföreställningen’ the Supreme Court answered the question negative. The Supreme Court stated that the current legal position d

Vegetation monitoring over time is important in a changing world due to climate change. Remote sensing, especially with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), can be utilized to monitor vegetation at flexible scales at an accurate degree. However, the relatively new remote sensing platforms that are UAVs imply the requirement of understanding how to best monitor vegetation in an accurate way w

Bovine milk contains several enzymes which can affect the quality of milk. One of these enzymes are lipases which hydrolyse the triacylglycerides in milk. In this process off-flavours, odour and product defects are generated. By controlling the enzymes activity, milk quality can be increased and therefore milk and dairy products can be stored for a longer time. This is desirable since the world de

The central theme of this thesis is anthropogenic climate change; governments' inability to create an effective, inclusive response mechanism that manages to mitigate anthropogenic emissions; and advocates efforts to coerce States to act by invoking State responsibility in adjudicatory dispute settlement processes. States' failure to act in accordance with scientific risk assessments and

The world has been affected by a pandemic virus called SARS-CoV-2 and caused a high level of deaths. Does the level of relative humidity have an effect on the spread? Different levels of the relative humidity has different affection on humans from a medical aspect. Is there an optimal level of the relative humidity? In this report there is a study on how the level of relative humidity indoor affec

A variety of demand side management (DSM) methods are needed to ensure electric grid reliability and to integrate increasing shares of renewable energy sources into electricity networks. To investigate whether communal laundry rooms in Stockholm represent a good candidate for employing DSM to reduce the severity of electricity load peaks, tenants are surveyed on their willingness to temporarily lo

Artificial intelligence is breaking new grounds each year and one of the most promising and extensively researched area of study in the field is the artificial neural networks. In this project, artificial neural networks are designed to help medical staff in estimating at an early stage what risk a patient has of developing serious postoperative complications after having undergone an oesophageal

The purpose of this study was to investigate the supervision of non-smoking school yards in Sweden. Smoking costs Swedish society an estimated 30 billion SEK annually in cost for healthcare, production losses and sick leave. Smoking among adolescents has declined in recent years, but it is still 24 % in high school's grade 2, which categorized as smokers. The supervision of the schoolyard is t

År 1994 trädde Lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (1993:387) (LSS) som ett resultat av regeringens utredning. Utredningen, som fick namnet Handikappreformen, kom fram till att det fanns stora klyftor mellan människor med omfattande funktionshinder och människor utan funktionshinder. Dessutom noterade utredningen att de insatser som erhölls enligt socialtjänsten och hälso- och sIn 1994, the Swedish law on certain disabled persons, came into effect as a result of the government’s inquiry. The inquiry was named “Handikappreformen” (in english: The Disability reform). The reform revealed disparities between individuals with disabilities and those without disabilities. Furthermore, the inquiry noted that the support received through social services and healthcare was insuffi

One particular approach of behavioral economics has gained attention within environmental politics during the last decade. The idea of nudging (“gently pushing”) people in situations of decision-making towards the choice that in the long run is best for them as well as for the society and/or the environment seems to attract policy makers around the world. Many governments inside and outside the EU

In today's business environment, organizations rely on information systems to store and process the information constantly gathered. These systems are used to support the everyday needs of the organization. It is apparent that many of these systems has limited or no analytical capabilities, can the introduction of a decision support system could enable practitioners to benefit from this can th

A new oxygen barrier film that is made of arabinoxylan has been developed by the company Xylophane. Arabinoxylan is available among other things in wheat bran. But a problem with the method of extracting the arabinoxylan is that after an alkali extraction is ultrafiltration used to remove impurities and the flux during this is quite low. In this project is it investigated if gas sparging with air

Today's security cameras typically capture either color images based on visible light or grayscale images based on both visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. This means that the performance is limited in situations where it is unclear which kind of image to capture. At dusk, for example, the visible light may not be sufficient to capture good-quality color images. On the other hand, capturing

This thesis presents the development of a binary classifier, which classifies homes as occupied or not. This was done using two different types of neural networks; standard feedforward networks and LSTM-networks. The input to these networks was sensor data collected from devices created by Minut AB. Data from previously used automatic alarm feature was used as ground truth. A major part of the pro

Research question: Are sustainability reports credible? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify if sustainability reports are credible with the help of a content analysis. Methodology: With the use of CONI-model which consists part of a quantitative and part qualitative content analysis results can be analyzed more in depth. This study focuses on six related categories which are respon

There are many projects in Mozambique for poverty reduction. One of these projects is funded by Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) and is aimed to install a total of 600 rural water points in the province of Nampula and Cabo Delgado in crystalline rock zone. Each water point consists of a drilled well, a water pump and a communal washing basin. Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) was used for asses

Low rank structures are present in many applications of computer vision and machine learning. A popular approach consists of explicitly parameterising the set or matrices with sought rank, leading to a bilinear factorisation, reducing the problem to find the bilinear factors. While such an approach can be efficiently implemented using second-order methods, such as Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) or Varia

A method for respiratory rate estimation from electrocardiogram (ECG), based on variations in QRS complexes slopes, is evaluated over stress testing recordings. Besides the 12 standard, and the 3 vectorcardiogram (VCG), 2 additional leads derived from the VCG are analyzed. A total of 34 slope series were studied, 2 for each lead: slopes between the peaks of the Q and R waves, and between the peaks

Purpose: The present study was performed as part of an epidemiological study, the Inter99 Eye Study. The aim of the study was to describe refractive errors and visual acuity (VA) in a suburban Danish population.Methods: The Inter99 Eye Study comprised 970 subjects aged 30–60 years and included a random control group as well as groups at high risk for ischaemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus.

The security analysis of Keccak, the winner of SHA-3, has attracted considerable interest. Recently, some attention has been paid to the analysis of keyed modes of Keccak sponge function. As a notable example, the most efficient key recovery attacks on Keccak-MAC and Keyak were reported at EUROCRYPT’15 where cube attacks and cube-attack-like cryptanalysis have been applied. In this paper, we devel
