Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda hur domstolarnas åldersbedömning i fall av oaktsamhet vid våldtäkt mot barn förhåller sig till kravet på förutsebarhet. För att utreda förutsebarheten i den faktiska tillämpningen har jag genomfört en analys av rättsfall från underrätter. Denna analys undersöker dels hur väl rättsfallen följer den ledning som erbjuds av lagtext och förarbeten och dels hur enhThe purpose of this paper is to examine whether the courts’ age-assessment in cases of negligence concerning statutory rape meet the requirement of predictability. To review the predictability of the application of the law by the courts, I have conducted a case-study based on cases from the lower courts. This study examines both how well the cases align with the directions presented by the law and

Authors: Camilla Anzoategui and Josephine Rosenquist Title: Child perspective and participation - utopia or a real possibility? A qualitative study about social workers' perspective on child perspective and child participation within economic aid Supervisor: Susanna Johansson Assessor: Marta Kolankiewicz The aim of this study was to examine how social workers practicing economic aid in th

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

The aim of this thesis was to study legislation from 1915, 1934, 1941 and 1999 about sterilization and marriage hinder of disabled individuals called ‘’feeble-minded’’. We have analyzed laws to examine if there are any existing discourses about disabled, and how the discourses have affected their lives and rights of reproduction. We also wanted to see what designations that where used to describe

The rise of homophobia and violence related to it across the postcolonial world has incited many LGBT persons to migrate to Western Europe and North America. One of the possible ways includes seeking asylum on the ground of sexual orientation and gendered identity. In most cases they migrate alone and are compelled to negotiate their sexuality in paradoxical and contradictory ways. Fleeing from ho

This thesis concerns steady state equations of mass action systems and methods for solving them symbolically in Matlab. We study two different methods for solving such systems with slightly different applicability. One that is fast but limited, the other one is slower but more general. We also study the question of parameter dependence of solutions and model reduction. The parameter dependence

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka förväntningsgapet mellan småföretagare och deras revisor, med grund i uppfattningen av revisorns roll, samt att se om det ser annorlunda ut för småföretagare som frivilligt använder revisor eller som enligt lag ska ha revisor. Metoden i denna uppsats består av en kombination av en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ metod, Mixed Methods. En kvantitativ enkät samt kThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the expectation gap between small business owners and their auditors, on the basis of the perception of the role of the auditor, and to see if it looks different for small business owners that voluntarily use the auditor or are required by law to have an auditor. The method in this paper consists of a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods,

While localization helps to create websites and mobile apps for specific target markets, not as much attention was devoted to the area of affective virtual service agents. The situation is changing due to advances in affective computing and artificial intelligence. Virtual service agents have the potential to change the way how people interact with information technology by transforming control me

With advanced navigation systems becoming ubiquitous in modern cars, the availability of detailed GPS data opens up new research areas in the fields of pattern analysis and data mining. By capturing the end-of-trip GPS points of each trip made by a driver, that driver’s meaningful destinations could be identified. The knowledge of these destinations can be used for route prediction, which in turn

The Balanced Participation - The Meaning of Children’s Participation in Custody Evaluations [translated title] Children’s participation in terms of matters that truly concerns them has been highlighted in social work and the social services. When it comes to family law, researchers have found the custody and access proceedings being negligent regarding children’s participation and in considering

Until recently, sensitivity to the polarization of light had not been scrutinized in the context of flower choice in bees. In 2014, it was demonstrated that buff-tailed bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) could learn to distinguish between two artificial “flower” targets presenting patterns of different polarization angle orientations over 100 choices, but only when the polarization cue was in view of

Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera plats och rum i Sara Stridsbergs roman, Beckomberga – ode till min familj, utifrån Michel Foucaults tankar om heterotopier – andra platser. En heterotopi kan förklaras som en realiserad utopi, som till exempel ett mentalsjukhus, något som Foucalut benämner som avvikelsens heterotopi. Eftersom platsen Beckomberga står i fokus i Stridsbergs roman använder uppsThis essay is a study of space and place in Sara Stridsberg’s novel: Beckomberga – ode till min familj (english title: The Gravity of Love). The essay is an analysis of Stridsberg’s image of the mental institution Beckomberga through Michel Foucaults ideas on heterotopias: other places or realized utopias. The main focus has been Foucaults term heterotopia of deviation, a term of which the mental

Hur och vem väljer personer att hjälpa? Och vem hjälper man om man har möjlighet att välja mellan olika alternativ? Att hjälpa handlar inte endast om rationella övervägningar. Det finns ett flertal psykologiska aspekter som påverkar hur människor väljer att hjälpa: hur offret framställs eller vilken sinnesstämning den potentiella aktören befinner sig i. Dessa två faktorer ligger till grund för denHow and who do people choose to help? And who does one help if one has the opportunity to choose between two alternatives? To help is not all about rational considerations. There are a number of psychological aspects which affect how people choose to help: how the victim is presented or what mood the potential actor is in. These two factors are the essences of this study that intended to explore h

This study concerns two photorealistic oil paintings by Ola Billgren: Venetian Blind, 1965 and Interior, 1971-1972. These paintings are from his neorealist period and are representative for Billgren’s style in the 1960s and early1970s. There is a subtle underlying feeling of anxiety imbedded in these two paintings. A sense of distance is also present. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate h

The Modelica language supports reusable components throughout the design process. Using the Functional Mock-up Interface, system model built by reusable components can be transferred to different platforms. This can be done in a straightforward manner and makes it possible for different engineering divisions to use the same Modelica models. In this thesis, it is displayed how a Modelica model of

In this thesis we present a system for creating a textured, animated 3D model of a user’s face in real time. The model, which we call an avatar, is reconstructed from two photos of a subject, one from a front view and one from a side view. Each photo is segmented using Active Shape Models. The shapes determined by the segmentation are used to reconstruct a 3D model and the pixel colors of the imag

Vad är rimligt att betala för att minska belastningen på miljön? Den frågan ska miljöprövningsmyndigheter som godkänner etableringar miljöfarliga verksamheter ta ställning till enligt den så kallade rimlighetsavvägningen som regleras i den svenska miljölagstiftningen. Syftet med lagen är att kostnaderna för att minska miljöpåverkan inte ska överstiga nyttan för samhället. Vad som är rimliga kostnaIn this master’s thesis I have studied the 7th section of the 2nd chapter in the Swedish environmental code (miljöbalken 1998:808). The regulation encompasses the proportionality principle of environmental consideration. Its purpose is to avoid that costly countermeasures are imposed that have limited or no negative impact on the environment. The proportionality principle in the environmental code

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vuxenmobbning på arbetsplatsen inom Försvarsmakten ur ett genusperspektiv. Upplever kvinnor på en mansdominerad arbetsplats såsom Försvarsmakten sig oftare utsatta för mobbning än vad män gör? Begreppet arbetsrelaterad mobbning definieras som upprepade, negativa handlingar som förlöjligar, isolerar och kan leda till att den anställde fördrivs från arbetsplThe aim of this study was to investigate adult workplace bullying from a gender perspective within the Swedish Armed Forces. Do women consider themselves more exposed to bullying at a workplace dominated by men like the Swedish Armed Forces? The concept of work-related bullying is defined as repeated, negative acts that ridicule and isolate an employee. These actions may force the employee to quit

Many companies today are transforming their development process by leaving an old-fashioned one, like the waterfall model, behind and instead aiming for a modern process like Scrum that can keep up with today’s rapid market changes and reduce time to market lag. These companies are often aiming to become more agile and with this comes a need for short release cycles in order to get fast feedback a
