Denna uppsats beskriver nödvärnsrätten och möjligheten till att använda vapen i motvåld. Genom en rättsdogmatisk metod undersöker jag nödvärnsrätten, polisers vålds- och vapenanvändning och slutligen avgöranden där enskilda och polismän agerat i nödvärn med vapen. En medborgare i en rättsstat får inte ta rätten i sina egna händer.

This thesis is constructed on an examination of the global principles and operational methods of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) and their linkage to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). These phenomena have implications for the sustainable banking business, which aims to deliver banking products and services aligned with a triple-bottom-line corporate approach contributing to sustainable

Stadsmiljöer är ofta sårbara vid katastrofer eller extrema väderhändelser. En anledning till detta är att stora delar av de tätbebyggda områden som utgör en stadsmiljö består av ytor som inte tillåter vatteninfiltrering. Detta kan medföra att vissa områden i en stad är mer benägna än andra att drabbas av översvämning. Att lokalisera översvämningsbenägna ytor är en viktig del i en stads uppbyggnad Impervious surfaces, such as large parts of the urban area, reduce infiltration and increase above ground runoff (Chen et al. 2009) with risk of flooding as a result. Urban flooding has the potential to affect a large amount of people, and can cause great harm to economic interests. Therefore it is important to locate potential areas prone to flooding, and have storm water regimes in mind when pla

The immigrants from China have generally taken over European immigrants to play important role in the North America since 1960s. Based on the human capital theory and neoclassical economic theory, this thesis examines the characteristics of Chinese immigrants who respectively arrived at the United States and Canada since 1990 (cohort 1990-1997 and cohort 1998- 2000). The data is coming from the 20

Denna uppsats behandlar ungdomsrabatten i 29 kap. 7 § brottsbalken (1962:700). Ungdomsrabatten är en reduktion som särbehandlar unga lagöverträdare i åldrarna 15–20 år vid straffmätningen. Den unge lagöverträdaren får ett avdrag på straffet baserat på dennes ålder vid gärningstillfället. Ungdomsrabatten är sedan länge en rättstradition i Sverige, men den har under lång tid kritiserats.

I samhällsdebatten har åsikter om en mer effektiv brottsbekämpning växt fram på den senaste tiden. Debatten har utmynnat i flertalet offentliga utredningar som presenterar potentiella lagändringar. Förslagen innebär att en avvägning måste göras mellan effektiv brottsbekämpning och rättssäkerhet, eftersom dessa medför en stor risk att individens rättigheter inskränks. Syftet med uppsatsen är att bIn the public debate, opinions about more effective law enforcement have emerged in recent years. The debate has resulted in public investigations that present potential changes to the law. The proposals imply that a balance must be struck between effective law enforcement and the rule of law, as the proposals entails a great risk for the rights of the individual to be restricted. The purpose of

I rättegångsbalken finns den fria bevisprövningen stadgad. Princip innebär att all bevisning som parterna kan få fram är som utgångspunkt tillåtlig och värdet av den bevisningen får prövas fritt. Att bevisprövningen ska vara fri innebär att domstolen inte är bunden av några legala regler eller normer. Högsta domstolen har emellertid utvecklat en bevisprövningsmetod som vuxit fram och tillämpas allIn the Code of Judicial Procedure, the free examination of evidence is stipulated as a principle where all evidence that the parties can obtain is permissible and the value of that evidence is examined freely. The fact that the examination of evidence must be free means that the court is not bound by any legal rules or norms. However, the Supreme Court has developed a method of reviewing evidence

I ett allt mer individbaserat samhälle, med ett skifte från normer när det gäller levnadssätt till allas unika livsval, ser vi ett ökat behov av boende för olika typer av konstellationer. Kärnfamiljen är inte lika självklar längre, ensamhushållen är fler och separationer är vanligt. Människor kan välja att bli förälder på egen hand och tvåsamhet som en självklarhet ifrågasätts helt och hållet. Vi In our individualized society, with a shift from strict norms on how we live our lives to everyone’s own unique lifestyle, we see a growing need for diversified housing for different types of constellations. The nuclear family is not a certainty anymore, the number of single residencies have increased and separations are common. People can choose to become a parent on their own and twosome relatio

Popular Abstract in Swedish Uppskattningsvis 140–180 000 patienter i Sverige har förmaksflimmer. Den totala förekomsten är dock okänd eftersom vissa patienter också helt saknar symtom och därför inte har kännedom om sin sjukdom. Förmaksflimmer, som både kan vara kroniskt eller komma i attacker, innebär att förmaken inte aktivt pumpar ner blodet i hjärtats kammare. Istället sker mer okoordinerade sBackground: Oral antigoagulation treatment (OAT) with warfarin have a narrow therapeutic window and patients exhibit a highly variable doseresponse that is attributable to genetic, disease-related,and environmental factors as well as prescription and nonprescription drugs, dietary vitamin K and alcohol. The effect of warfarin treatement on blood coagulation is measured using international normaliz

We have carried out muon spin relaxation (mu SR), neutron diffraction, and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) investigations on polycrystalline samples of Ce(Ru1-xFex)(2)Al-10 (x = 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, and 1) to investigate the nature of the ground state (magnetic ordered versus paramagnetic) and the origin of the spin-gap formation as evident from the bulk measurements in the end members. Our zero-f

The aim of this study was to examine the view of social service workers on the secondary housing market based upon their work with social investigations regarding people with a difficult substance abuse. The foundation of this study rests upon a phenomenon, which according to other scholars, occurs in the secondary housing market in Sweden. The secondary housing market consists of a multitude of h

The international character that surrounds the shipping industry has traditionally meant that rules regarding the public law of the sea or the private maritime law are internationally regulated through regulations, state practice, international conventions or international customary law. Since the 1970s, there has been an increasing concern for both the marine environment and the safety onboard sh

Persons with disabilities face substantial barriers that impede their integration and participation in social and economic activities. Households with disabled members may be vulnerable to poverty due to the extra cost of living with a disability. However, there exists a knowledge gap in the magnitude of the extra cost of disabilities in sub Saharan Africa. Using data from a nationally representat

Lipid-lowering statin treatment reduces cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and improves endothelial function in patients with hypercholesterolemia. The aim of the present study was to evaluate plasma levels of fibrinogen, factor VII, and the macrophage-derived inflammatory mediator neopterin during lipid lowering. In addition, the endothelial production of platelet antiaggregatory and vasodila

The causes and extent of regional inequality in the process of economic growth are at the core of historical economic research. So far, much attention has been devoted to studying the role of industrialization in driving regional divergence. However, empirical studies on relatively unequal countries such as Italy and Spain show that inequality was already high at the outset of modern industrializa
