Våld kan förekomma i olika typer av relationer och följer samma mönster oavsett parternas sexualitet eller inneboende maktrelation. Våldet kan vara fysiskt, psykiskt eller sexuellt. Oavsett våldsform så är det genom en systematisk växling mellan våld och värme som våldet normaliseras i relationen, vilket kallas normaliseringsprocessen. Den utsatta anpassar sig till förövaren för att undvika mer våDomestic violence can occur in different types of relationships and follows the same pattern regardless of the parties' sexuality or inherent power relationship. The violence can be physical, mental or sexual. It is through a constant shift between violence and warmth that the actions are normalized in the relationship, the normalization process. The victim adapts to the perpetrator to avoid m
Equipment installation at MAX IV, a state-of-the-art particle accelerator in Sweden, requires accuracy and precision in the range of micrometers. The measurement technology used is laser tracking, with which the position of a movable reflector is determined, by reflecting the laser beam emitted from a stationary tracker. Data describing the real-time position of the reflector is handled in a softw
Läkemedelsindustrin är beroende av patent. Rätten till patent möjliggör de nödvändiga investeringar i forskning och utveckling som krävs för att utveckla nya läkemedel och få ut dessa på marknaden. Detta gynnar både konsumenter och samhället i stort. De största läkemedelsföretagen investerar i forskning och utveckling, och är därmed de primära innehavarna av läkemedelspatent. Samtidigt som de störThe pharmaceutical industry is dependent on the granting of patents. Patents make it possible for pharmaceutical companies to invest in the necessary R&D to bring new drugs to the market. This benefits consumers and the health care sector at large. The biggest pharmaceutical companies invest in R&D, and as a result are the major holders of pharmaceutical patents. While the big pharmaceutic
Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) has become a commercially viable technology. The technology uses the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction between coils to transfer electrical power wirelessly. Due to the increasing interest in WPT, the need to understand how the power transfer between coils behaves in different settings, as well as the ability to simulate the process, have become increasingly imp
The modern human being is exposed to different kinds of light during a normal day, both natural light and adjusted lighting. The idea that light affects us is uncontested, and so affecting the light in turn becomes a question of well-being. It is often thought that abundant and strong lighting is good lighting, but this is far from always accurate. Moreover, the light from a regular lightbulb is i
In several of the EU member states, an increase in household employees is seen as a result of societal and demographic changes . Sweden has also seen an increased number of individuals in this trade. Both nationally and internationally this line of work has historically been characterized of being excluded from certain labor law provisions and falling under separate regulations. There are currentl
This thesis aims to investigate possible correlations between charm production and baryon production in proton-proton collisions through three-particle correlations. The question attempted to be answered is where, for a given charmed baryon, the balancing anti-charm particle and balancing anti-baryon are located. The relative azimuthal angle ∆φ and pseudorapidity ∆η between the trigger charmed bar
I svensk rätt saknas en rättslig förpliktelse att hjälpa nödställda. Genom garantläran är det dock möjligt att ålägga personer med handlingsplikt. Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka vilka relationer som kan leda till garantställning och om garantläran med hänsyn till dagens familjebild är i behov av förändring. För att uppfylla uppsatsens syfte har rättsdogmatisk metod använts. Under 1960-taletIn Swedish law there is no legal obligation to assist people in need. Through the doctrine of omission responsibility (Swedish: garantläran) it is possible to impose an obligation to act. This essay will investigate which relations can lead to omission responsibility and whether the doctrine of omission responsibility needs to be reformed due to changes in family formation in today´s society. Du
Older and normally more low-scale buildings are from a historical and cultural perspective in need to be preserved. But these older buildings are often also perceived as contributing to more beauty-oriented values to an urban environment, so called charm. For these reasons, new building development projects should be designed in such a way that these qualities are not destroyed. This study has thr
This thesis addresses the correlation between creditor protection and thecross-border seat transfer of companies in the light of the case law of the European Court of Justice concerning the freedom of establishment of undertakings. After the restrictive outcome of Daily Mail, the judgment of the European Court of Justice in Centros took the legal community by surprise. The following cases of Übers
Abstract The purpose of this essay is to study how the state governs the population in Sweden 1809-1870. The period from the “revolutionary” government of 1810 to the 1870's is a period of change in Sweden, when old feudal institutions are put under great pressure from economic and social change. The state changes, its relation to the local society changes, and new methods of power and polit
Dispute boards är en form av privat tvistlösning som de senaste decennierna blivit populär både i Sverige och internationellt. Tanken med en dispute board är att låta en nämnd av privatdomare avgöra tvister på ett mindre formellt sätt än vad som är möjligt vid domstol eller skiljeförfarande och på så vis nå ett snabbt avgörande. Parter har större möjlighet att bestämma hur förfarandet ska gå till A dispute board is a type of private dispute resolution which in the last decades has achieved great popularity in Sweden as well as in an international context. The idea behind the dispute board is that a small board of private judges can solve disputes in a less formal manner than what is possible in litigation or arbitration. In this way a more rapid decision can be reached. Parties are in grea
The potential of information technology as a means to invigorate democratic practise is constantly under discussion. Regardless of the differing opinions as to the most suitable way to utilise IT, there are certain democratic core values that have to be considered. One of these is freedom of information, defined by us as the right of every citizen to seek, obtain and express information. The aim o
Background: Obesity and dyslipidemias are risk factors for developing cardiovascular diseases, the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The pathogenesis of these diseases involves environmental factors, such as nutrition, but other aspects like genetic polymorphisms confer susceptibility to developing obesity and dyslipidemias. In this sense, nutrigenetics is being used to study th
This project focuses on how a household in Malmö can manage a crisis situation with no electricity, water, heat and communication for 72 hours. This is due to the recommendation that we can take care of ourselves for 3 days in case of a crisis. This spring residents of Cape Town have been living with water restrictions of 50 litres per person per day. This can be compared to the 160 litres per per
In Sweden, wind has been recognized as a necessary power source to fight climate change. But the expansion of wind power is associated with conflicting interests. The permit process to build and operate wind power plants is often described as inefficient and complex, with long lead times. This study investigates possibilities for how the Swedish permit process for wind power can be streamlined.
The notion of ‘post-truth’ has attracted considerable interest both in academic and political circles, as well as in public debate more generally. A ‘post-truth society’ has been defined as a society in which ‘“objective facts” are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief’. This also implies a society in which fake news is disseminated on purpose and w
