Lärare aktiva i det svenska skolsystemet innehar inte bara en uppgift att i sin tjänst förmedla kunskap. De har även en skyldighet att upprätthålla ordning samt säkra studiero och trygghet i skolan. Efter flertalet domslut som fattats under senare år har gällande rätt visat sig vara problematisk att klart definiera, vilket resulterat i att lärare idag erfar en osäkerhet över vilka befogenheter som

Despite the so-called ‘great retreat’, in which people arguably are distancing themselves from the political sphere and civic engagement, the last two years has seen an upsurge in political activities. Outside the realms of institutionalised politics, i.e. political parties, lies a whole terrain of alternative political activities, including social movements and media institutions. Following the E

Helsingborgs Stad vill i samarbete med HSB, PEAB och Riksbyggen exploatera Sjöcrona Park i centrala Helsingborg, Sverige, med flerbostadshus. Inför en exploatering är det viktigt att ha god kunskap om geologiska förhållanden så som jordlagermäktigheter, hydrogeologi och om det finns sprickzoner eller lervittrade sprickzoner i berggrunden som påverkar bergkvaliteten. För att få en bättre bild av deThe city of Helsingborg together with HSB, PEAB and Riksbyggen wants to construct apartment buildings in Sjöcrona Park in central Helsingborg, Sweden. Before a construction it is important to have good knowledge about geological conditions such as ground layer thickness, hydrogeology and if there are any clay weathered fracture zones that may affect the quality of the bedrock. To obtain a better e

The laminate flooring company Pergo (Europe) AB has during the last years identified an increasing market demand for customized flooring solutions. In the autumn of 2004 Pergo had no standardized product offer and the existing administrative process was not suited to produce and deliver customized products. Experiments concerning a new décor production technique with extensive potential based on d

Further, the essay examines the mechanisms affecting this relation – how the child care investigator's respective roles, as controlling authority and service provider, will be visible to the investigator and what the consequences of the

The growing demand for network cameras to support real-time image processing and machine-learning applications has created a need for low-power solutions. Although technology scaling makes complex computations feasible, voltage scaling is limited, leading to higher power density and dark silicon problems. One potential solution is the use of Approximate Arithmetic Circuits (AACs). This effectively

Ett införande av visitationszoner har vid ett flertal tillfällen föreslagits av olika partier till Sveriges riksdag som en åtgärd för att motverka våldsbrott och minska antalet vapen i samhället. Innebörden av en sådan zon är, enligt förslagen, att polisen ska få en rätt att kroppsvisitera människor och genomföra en husrannsakan i fordon för att söka efter vapen eller andra farliga föremål. Den ut

Den här uppsatsens syfte är att reda ut och redogöra för hur straffmätningen kring livsstraffet vid mord går till i Sverige och Danmark. Uppsatsen har skrivits ur ett komparativt synsätt i syfte att jämföra länderna och således också analysera likheter och skillnader. Livstidsstraff kan i teorin dömas ut för ett antal grova brott i både Danmark och Sverige men döms i praktiken nästan enbart ut i

In light of declining multilateralism within the field of human rights since the 1990s, National Human Rights Institutions have been presented by the UN as translators capable of vernacularizing and institutionalizing global human rights ideals within the local. Yet, the global proliferation of National Human Rights Institutions sparked by the adoption of the UN Principles Relating to the Status o

Till följd av principen om allas likhet inför lagen riskerar vårdpersonal allmänt åtal för misstag som föranlett att en allvarlig vårdskada har inträf-fat. Även om antalet rättsfall inte är många syftar denna uppsats till att under-söka det straffrättsliga ansvar som föreligger för enskild vårdpersonal för misstag som sker i yrkesutövningen. Särskilt undersöks de faktorer som kan vara av betydels
