De senaste tio åren har antalet sökta bygglov för småhus med träregelstomme mer än fördubblats. I dagsläget finns inget allmänt krav att säkerställa horisontalkapacitet för småhus men är något som beställaren kan efterfråga och som många konstruktörer någon gång upplevt problematiskt. Projekteringsfasen kan bli tidskrävande där lösningar för att fastställa kapacitet mot vindlast blir dyra och kompIn the last ten years, the number of building permits applied for houses with timber frame structure has more than doubled. Today, there is no general requirement to establish horizontal capacity, but is something that can be demanded and that many structural engineers have occasionally experienced as problematic.

Artificiell intelligens blir allt vanligare inom det kreativa området. AI uppvisar på olika sätt kreativitet genom att producera nya självständiga konstnärliga och litterära verk. För att AI ska kunna producera ett resultat måste ofta stora mängder data samlas in och analyseras i en process som kallas för datautvinning. Innan data kan användas i datautvinningsprocessen behöver den ofta förbehandlaArtificial intelligence is becoming more common in the creative sphere. AI is displaying creative abilities by producing new independent artistic and literary works. In order for AI to produce an output it requires vast amounts of data to be collected and analyzed in a process called data mining. Before the data can be used for data mining it often has to be altered and treated in a preprocess. If

Bytesrätten har utvecklats i samklang med den svenska bostadspolitiken. Under tidigt 1900-tal fanns det en stark liberal inställning till relationen mellan hyresgäster och hyresvärdar. I 1907 års nyttjanderättslag (1907:36), NyttjL, gällde grundläggande avtalsrättsliga principer. Hyresgäster fick enbart säga upp kontrakt om hyresvärden nekade dem överlåtelse av kontraktet utan skälig anledning. I The right to barter a rented apartment has developed in harmony with the Swedish housing policy. During the early twentieth century a strong liberal doctrine dominated the relationship between tenants and landlords. The usufruct law (nyttjanderättslagen) from 1907, was based on contractual principles. Contracts could be for as long as 25 years in the towns and tenants were only allowed to terminat

I franchiseutredningen inför införandet av lag (2006:484) om franchisegivares informationsplikt uttalas uttryckligen att i ett franchisesamarbete är en franchisetagare typiskt sett att betrakta som den svagare avtalsparten. I fråga om avtalstvister kan underlägsen ställning ha en väsentlig betydelse eftersom det finns lagregler som särskilt tar sikte på att skydda en underlägsen avtalspart, inte bFranchising is not a partnership which is expressly regulated by law in Sweden outside of the Franchise Disclosure Act of 2006. Some other partnerships on the other hand have dedicated regulations in legislation, for instance the Commercial Agents Act /Lag (1991:351) om handelsagentur and the Commissions Act / Kommissionslagen (2009:865) The current legislation is a disclosure law which obligates

CITIES SHOULD BE OPEN AND INCLUSIVE, say municipality officials in Sweden. So why are they not? One answer is norms.

För att bekämpa den organiserade brottsligheten används, i Sverige och internationellt, provokativa åtgärder. Det innebär att en person provoceras av staten att begå brott eller att presentera bevis för tidigare begångna brott. Det föreligger dock en risk för att provokationer får personer att begå brott som de annars inte hade begått. Åtgärderna har då lett till att brott har tillförts samhället In order to fight organized crime, provocative investigative measures are widely used in Sweden and abroad. This means that a person is provoked by the state to commit a crime or to present evidence of past crimes. However, there is a risk that the police causes people to commit crimes that they otherwise would not have committed. The measures have then led to crimes being added to the community,

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Vad har berget i Romeleåsen varit med om? Jordskorpan är uppbyggd av ett antal plattor. Vid plattgränser under oceanerna bildas ny skorpa av magma som tränger upp. Oceanplattan kan inte öka i storlek. Där oceanplattan möter en platta med kontinental jordskorpa tränger oceanplattan under kontinentalplattan (subduktion, t. ex. Anderna).
