Problem/ background: Since the enlargement of the EU in 2004 and the free mobility directive there has been growing concern of homelessness and destituteness among EU migrants in several European countries, Sweden being one of them. This is an important welfare and policy issue. Previous research on this matter has tended to focus on challenges faced by, as well as strategies adopted by, NGOs and
A driver model can be used to predict the vehicle velocity and the energy consumption. It can be modeled such that it benefits from historical data and can be further improved if a navigation system is available. A well implemented driver model is important since the car fleet seems to be more and more electrified. The role of the driver model would then be to increase the accuracy for when the dr
Restoring and meandering straightened streams is an important part of the Swedish environmental objective “Live lakes and water courses”. Restoration improves the living conditions for plants and animals that reside in or near the stream, and increases the uptake of excess nutrients leaking from nearby farmland. In this study, I have examined two restored streams; Glomsbäcken and Trollebergssträck
Domestic violence is an extensive social problem that family law secretaries are familiar with. Yet there seems to be a blindness and ignorance to subsequent violence that is not established within the practice as a matter of course and is not given any decisive importance in family law secretaries' assessments. The purpose of our study is to understand how family law secretaries reason about
I den svenska kriminalpolitiska debatten har frågan om kriminella nätverk tagit stor plats. Det finns en utbredd oro i samhället över de kriminella nätverken och det finns en ständig press på staten att komma till rätta med problemen. I mars 2022 presenterade regeringen ett lagförslag om kronvittnessystem som en del av en lösning. Det finns en stark tystnadskultur bland medlemmar i de kriminellaGang related crimes are often one of the main topics in the Swedish political debates. There is a common concern within the society related to the criminal gangs and a pressure on the government to act. In March 2022, the government presented a bill where a “crown witness” system is being suggested as part of a solution to the problem. There is a strong “silence culture” between members in crimi
Competition policy is important for the promotion of fair competition, preventing abuse of market power and protecting consumer and business interests. It is thus an area that builds and moulds itself according to the fabric or structure of society and eventually evolves by habitually adjusting to the dynamics of government economies. Despite the different economic dynamics between the European Un
Den svenska statens primära ansvar att garantera skyddet av de grundläggande fri- och rättigheterna som följer av den europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna (Europakonventionen) vilar bland annat på Sveriges förpliktelser som part till Europakonventionen. Detta ansvar har inneburit en betydande påverkan på den svenska skadeståndsrätten. Mer The Swedish state’s primary responsibility to guarantee the protection of the rights and freedoms set forth in the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (the Convention) is, among other things, based on Sweden’s obligations as a party to the Convention. This responsibility has significantly impacted Swedish tort law. More specifically, it concerns the ability of in
The real estate profession is characterized by high demands on availability, irregular working hours and a boundaryless work pattern, in which the boundaries between work and private life are often unclear. Previous research and industry reports suggest that such working conditions can contribute to elevated stress, impaired work-life balance, and reduced psychological well-being. Against this bac
In 2022, approximately 32 million patients worldwide suffered from Alzheimer’s disease dementia. In addition to this, about 380 million people carried the biomarkers indicating Alzheimer’s, while displaying little to no symptoms. These people, however, always live with the risk of the disease progressing - making the development of a drug that can slow down or stop progression an endeavour of glob
Samhället idag kännetecknas av digital interaktion, där både privata såväl som yrkesmässiga kontakter sker via olika tekniska plattformar.

With intellectual property rights and ecosystems, publishers can decide who enters the market. This leads to competition law concerns when the publisher is in some cases also vertically integrated. Vertical integration is part of a publisher’s business strategy, but at the same time it means that it competes in the same market as tournament organisers as well as in the market for publishers who gr
Wildfires causes natural disturbances to ecosystems which can have potentially damaging results for ecosystem services and economic income from timber production. The post-fire management approach can be essential for the environmental work regarding the recovery of ecosystems and maintaining ecosystem services. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate different post-fire management approac

With warming in soils due to climate change, a series of secondary factors arise, which have multifaceted effects on soil microbial communities. Of these, alterations to soil moisture are among the most crucial to understanding how microbial functions will change in the face of climate change. As living organisms, microbes must adapt to their environment, and their adaptations are reflected in the
Bumblebees are essential pollinators for a wide range of plant species and thus essential for global ecosystems and food security. However, recent declines in their populations have made understanding their underlying causes necessary. One of those causes is the application of pesticides in agricultural landscapes. The toxicity of these pesticides is commonly assessed in isolation, which oftentime
In South Africa, sustainable use of wildlife is widely recognized as providing economic incentives and actively engaging rural communities in conservation management. Aiming to combat rampant poverty and wildlife crime in communities around protected areas (PAs), the country’s biodiversity economy envisions to scale (non-)consumptive activities in the pursuit of creating economically and environme
The blue economy emerged as sustainable, inclusive and equitable alternative to traditional oceans economy. However, the current paradigm of oceans as development spaces has led to an acceleration of competing uses of marine resources causing ecosystem deterioration and human rights abuses that disproportionately affect vulnerable small-scale fisheries. Blue justice movements seek to reconcile env
Income Tax-deduction for commuting expenses has been criticised and discussed for a long time without having reached any conclusions or reformations. Critical opinions in the debate are that a reformation would disfavour taxpayers living in the countryside with no options except car commuting and decreasing size of labour market regions. At the same time tax evasion is a huge problem because taxpa
Livförsäkringar kan enligt den skatterättsliga definitionen delas in i pensionsförsäkringar och kapitalförsäkringar. Utmärkande för de olika typerna av försäkringarna är att de beskattas enligt två helt olika system. För pensionsförsäkringar är premier avdragsgilla samt avkastningen och utfallande belopp skatteskattepliktiga. I de fall försäkringen är att betrakta som en kapitalförsäkring är premiA life insurance can, according to the Swedish definition, be classified as either a pension insurance or as a capital insurance for taxation purposes. These two types of life insurances are taxed in two completely different systems. The premiums are deductible for a pension insurance as the earnings during the investment period and the disbursed benefits are taxed. Furthermore, the premiums are n
Purpose: To assess the ability of MRI-DTI to evaluate growth plate morphology and activity compared with that of histomorphometry and micro-CT in rabbits. Methods: The hind limbs of female rabbits aged 16, 20, and 24 wk (n = 4 per age group) were studied using a 9.4T MRI scanner with a multi-gradient echo 3D sequence and DTI in 14 directions (b-value = 984 s/mm2). After MRI, the right and left hin
