Sammanfattning Artificiell intelligens (AI) är ett nytt fenomen som fått ett stort genomslag under de senaste åren. Faktum är att AI-forskning pågått under decennier och förväntas ersätta många arbetsuppgifter inom bland annat vården. Eftersom utvecklingen sker i rasande takt, står rättsväsendet inför frågan hur de allmänna skadeståndsrättsliga reglerna ska kunna tillämpas på AI-produkter. Syftet Summary Artificial intelligence (AI) is a new phenomenon that has had a penetration effect in recent years. The fact is that AI research has been going on for decades and is expected to be used in many areas, such as, healthcare. As the technical progress takes place in a groundbreaking way, the judiciary poses the questions as to how the general issues relating to civil liability can be applied t

Denna uppsats handlar om skatterättslig hemvist för juridiska personer. Sådan hemvist är avgörande för att bestämma hur en person ska beskattas i ett visst land. I Sverige tillämpar vi registrering av bolag som enda hemvistbegrepp. Detta är vi nästan helt unika med. Ett betydligt vanligare hemvistbegrepp länder tillämpar är verklig ledning, eller ”place of Effective Management”. Detta är dessutom This paper concerns fiscal residence for persons other than natural persons. Such person’s residence needs to be decided in order to determine how it should be properly taxed. Sweden uses registration for corporations as the sole residence concept. This makes us almost completely unique. A vastly more common concept among other countries is “place of Effective Management”. This concept was also us

När en ny bil skall designas är det viktigt att kunna förutse vissa fenomen innan en fysisk prototyp finns tillgänglig. Ljudet som orsakas av vägen är ett av dessa fenomen. På grund av känsligheten och komplexiteten i metoderna som används idag vore det intressant ifall man kan använda något enkelt mått för att få en känsla för detta fenomen i en tidig konceptutvecklingsfas. Frågan blir då, vilketThe noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) and body dynamic performance of automotive vehicles is highly dependent of the components included in the body structure and compartment, since they add mass, stiffness and damping to the overall structure. Today, the noise levels in the compartment are predicted using complex and detailed computational models during both early and late stages of the vehicl

Osäkerhet över ett rättsfaktums existens kan lösas genom att en av parterna i en rättegång åläggs bevisbördan för detta faktum. Den svenska lagstiftaren har i de flesta fall överlämnat åt domstolarna att lösa bevisbördefrågan. I doktrin och praxis har det därför utvecklats olika teorier om hur bevisbördefrågan ska lösas. Eftersom bevisbördans placering kan bli avgörande för utgången i målet är detUncertainty over a dispositive fact can be solved by placing the burden of proof on one of the parties in the trial. In most cases, the Swedish legislature has handed over to the courts to resolve the burden of proof issue. In the doctrine and court practice, various theories have therefore been developed on how to solve the burden of proof issue. Since the placement of the burden of proof can be

In the later Middle Ages there was a vivid activity of preaching at the Abbey of Vadstena. Apart from the ordinary Sunday preaching at High Mass, or in connection to it, there were a number of feasts due to the saints. At heart of the medieval pastoral theology was The Way of Salvation and the conundrum was how to make people understand how to correct their living in order to get into Heaven as qu

Hur kan biologisk mångfald gynnas i en företagspark? Hur ska både människor och natur få plats i en alltmer urbaniserad värld? Kunskapen om hur biologisk mångfald påverkas av byggnadsprojekt behöver öka, samtidigt som stadens gröna områden behöver stödjas och utvecklas för att gynna fler arter. I mitt examensarbete har jag undersökt förutsättningarna för fåglar och pollinerande insekter i företagUrbanization is causing impact on biodiversity and ecosystem services globally, due to disturbance, fragmentation and loss of habitats as the proportion of urban settlement increases. Actions for enhancement of biodiversity in urban spaces become important to achieve a sustainable urbanization. Wihlborgs Fastigheter AB, a housing company in the Öresund Region, has installed eleven nest boxes for b

Juice homogenization is mostly done to create smaller fiber particles, which reduces the sedimentation velocity to a lower level. So far, fruit juice concentrate is diluted to juice before it is homogenized. The first aim of this research paper is a feasibility study regarding the homogenization of fruit juice concentrate before it is diluted to juice. That would save capacity and energy. Secondl

The increased use of plastics has become an environmental problem where plastics, due to the slow degradation, accumulate in the oceans and landfills. Although plastics are a very cheap and useful material with desirable properties and a wide variety of applications, they are primarily made from petroleum-based resources which are non-renewable and of fossil origin. An alternative to these non-ren

För att minska miljöpåverkan och minimera exploateringen av de begränsade tillgångar som finns så krävs en övergång till cirkulär ekonomi. Det innebär minskad materialkonsumtion och mer återanvändning och återvinning av plast och andra material. Förra året producerades i världen 359 millioner ton plast och av det insamlade avfallet i Europa blev endast en tred-jedel återvunnet. Bland de fem mest pTo reduce the environmental impact and minimize the exploitation of the depleting re-sources, the transition to a circular economy is vital. It proposes an economy of reduced ma-terial consumption and increased reuse and recycling of plastics and other materials. Only last year, 359 million tonnes of plastic were produced worldwide and only a third of the col-lected waste in Europe was recycled. A

Obtaining DNA sequences is a time-consuming task, which typically requires one or several days for completion. One way of reducing analysis times is to be satisfied with long-range sequence patterns on the order of thousands of base pairs. DNA barcoding is a DNA-characterising technique that works according to this principle. It does so by using fluorescence microscopy to visualise long-range sequ

This thesis examines the relationship between Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) factors and investment strategies. Specifically, it focuses on how ESG scores can influence investment decisions within companies listed on the DAX Index, the benchmark German stock market index. Using Granger causality on individual companies from the DAX and on portfolios built on the ESG score of companies w

With the growing integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid, new challenges for system stability have emerged. To address this, the European Union has introduced a regulation called Requirements for Generators (RfG). This regulation sets specific performance standards, one of which is a minimum critical clearing time related to faults. Some production facilities with low inertial

This paper analyses how international status aspiration influences the foreign policy decisions of two emerging powers, India and Brazil. Drawing on status theory, specifically social identity theory, the research examines how the two countries pursue similar global and regional recognition goals despite significantly different geopolitical environments, histories, and populations. Further, they a

This thesis investigates whether incorporating the Christoffersen independence test into regulatory backtesting frameworks can enhance financial stability by improving the detection of systemic risk. Using daily Value-at-Risk and profit-and-loss data from 13 major international banks over 2018–2022, the study distinguishes between clustered and isolated VaR exceptions, applying event studies and p

Today, social media offers new possible tools for organizing and spreading political messages than in the past, changing the way activism can take shape and thereby producing new forms of records. These records make up an important part of today’s history and therefore should be preserved for the future. However, despite the possibilities that social media offers, commercial social media platforms
