Människohandel är ett globalt fenomen som förekommer över i stort sett hela världen. Sverige är på intet sätt förskonat från denna cyniska verksamhet, utan har tvärt om visats sig utgöra en lukrativ marknad för människohandlare. Detta då det finns en efterfrågan på de tjänster som verksamheten tillhandahåller, framför allt de av sexuell karaktär. I denna framställning undersöks den svenska konstruHuman trafficking is a global phenomenon that occurs all over the world. Sweden is by no means spared from this cynical practice. On the contrary, the country has shown to be a lucrative market for traffickers. A reason for this is the major demand for the services that trafficking provides, especially those of a sexual nature.

Det faktum att våld i nära relationer oftast utspelar sig inom hemmets fyra väggar gör att det följer svårigheter. Bristen på vittnen gör det besvärligt att få gärningsmannen lagförd. I en tredjedel av alla fall med våld mot kvinnor i hemmet bevittnar dock barn brottet. Trots detta förhörs barn som vittne endast i 18 % av dessa fall. Förundersökningen läggs ofta ner eftersom tillräckliga bevis intThe fact that violence in intimate relationships most often takes place in someone’s home, makes it difficult to prosecute the perpetrator in lack of witnesses. In one third of the cases regarding violence against women in intimate relationships, children are witnesses. Despite this, children are interrogated only in 18 % of these cases. The preliminary investigation is often closed because of the

Denna uppsats har till syfte att undersöka vilken rätt adoptiv- och donatorbarn har till information om sitt ursprung, hur denna rätt tar sig uttryck, och vilka principer som finns bakom regleringen. Rättigheten finns reglerad i folkrättslig (bl.a. FN: s konvention om barnets rättigheter) såväl som nationell lagstiftning. Den innebär en rätt till information om tillkomstsättet och en rätt till infThe aim of this thesis has been to examine what rights Swedish adoptees and donor offsprings have to information about his or her origins, how this right is manifested and the principles that may have influenced the current legislation. A person’s right to information about his or her origins is a right enacted in both international (e.g. the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child) and Swedish n

Skyddet för den personliga integriteten har i takt med tekniska framsteg diskuterats inom en rad områden. Ett sådant område är arbetsrätten och specifikt arbetstagarens rätt till sin personliga integritet. Att dokument överförs till digital form samt att kommunikation flyttas från telefon och brev till e-mail gör det mer praktiskt möjligt för arbetsgivare att kontrollera sina arbetstagare än någonAs technology progress the right to personal integrity has been discussed in several areas. One of those areas is labour law and specifically the employee’s right to personal integrity. As communication becomes more and more digital it has become more practical for employers to monitor their employees. The question regarding employees’ right to protection for their personal integrity is, despite

Denna uppsats behandlar förutsebarheten i påföljdsfrågan för psykiskt störda lagöverträdare. I Sverige har det i flera decennier funnits diskussioner kring de psykiskt störda lagöverträdarnas ansvar. Den nuvarande svenska regleringen är internationellt sett unik, då den inte innehåller ett krav på tillräknelighet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda den svenska regleringen av psykiskt störda lagövThis paper discusses the predictability in sentencing of mentally disordered offenders. For decades there have been discussions in Sweden about the responsibility of mentally disordered offenders.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka under vilka förutsättningar förvaltningsbeslut som har fattats på beredningsstadiet, d.v.s. under beredningen av ett ärende, är överklagbara enligt gällande rätt, när detta inte regleras i specialförfattning. Syftet är också att diskutera huruvida gällande rätt i detta hänseende är tillfredsställande eller bör förändras. Frågan har i stort sett lämnats oregThe purpose of this study is to examine under what conditions administrative decisions made at the preparatory stage, i.e. during the preparation of a matter, are appealable in Swedish law, when special statutory regulations do not determine this matter. The purpose is also to discuss whether Swedish law in this regard is satisfactory or whether changes should be made. The matter has, broadly spea

Marknadsföring genom aggressiva metoder har traditionellt ansetts otillbörligt och förbjudet i Sverige. Det var först genom tillkomsten av Marknadsföringslagen (2008:486) som det infördes ett uttryckligt förbud mot aggressiv marknadsföring. Anledningen var att direktivet 2005/29/EG om otillbörliga affärsmetoder, som uttryckligen förbjuder aggressiva metoder, skulle implementeras. Sedan dess ska maMarketing through aggressive methods has traditionally been considered inappropriate and prohibited in Sweden. It was first when Sweden adopted Marketing Act (2008:486) an explicit prohibition of aggressive commercial practices was introduced. The reason was that the Directive 2005/29/EC “the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive” - explicitly prohibiting aggressive commercial practices – was impl

Gränsöverskridande e-handel ger upphov till en del juridiska problem inte minst då tvister uppstår mellan avtalsparterna. Något som diskuterats särskilt bland rättsvetare världen över, är vilket lands domstol som ska ha jurisdiktion när avtalstvister uppstår i detta sammanhang. I Bryssel I-förordningen finns vissa delvis tvingande domsrättsregler som är tillämpliga då avtalstvister uppstår mellaCross-border e-commerce gives rise to a number of legal issues. One particular difficulty, discussed by legal commentators all over the world, is how to allocate jurisdiction when disputes arise over e-contracts. The Brussels I Regulation contains certain semi-mandatory jurisdiction rules which apply in relation to contract disputes between traders and consumers. These rules give the consumer a r

Uppsatsen behandlar i huvudsak kreditvärderingsinstitutens auktoritära roll på kreditmarknaderna samt hur lagstiftarens inkorporering av kreditvärderingsbetyg har påverkat det finansiella systemet. Målet är att pragmatiskt granska lagstiftarens motiv med inkorporering av kreditvärderingsbetyg i kapitaltäckningsregelverket samt att föreslå möjliga förändringar i de fall brister anses föreligga.

Nearly 60% of the worlds adult population is projected to be overweight or obese by 2030. The prevalence of obesity- related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), has increased markedly in the past decades. The adipose tissue plays an important role in disease progression of T2D. Adipocyte insulin sensitivity, adipose tissue’s ability to expand, and accumulation of subcutaneous rather than visc

Additionally, little data is available describing the natural history of structural morphology of the ruptured PCL. The purpose of the study was to determine the long-term outcome after non-operatively treated PCL injury.

If we are being-of-the-world, how can we ever avoid participation? From this question Avhandling / Av_handling (Dissertation / Through_ action) unfolds. It invites to engage in an ongoing continuum of entanglements, where the moment of connection is unavoidable. This invitation demands that we are attentive to our mutual co-constitutiveness, that we take responsibility for what gets excluded as we

Growing planets interact with their natal protoplanetary disc, which exerts a torque onto them allowing them to migrate in the disc. Small mass planets do not affect the gas profile and migrate in the fast type-I migration. Although type-I migration can be directed outwards for planets smaller than 20−30M⊕ in some regions of the disc, planets above this mass should be lost into the central star lo
