Kronvittnessystem som strafflindring? - En komparativ studie av svensk- och dansk rätt

Ett kronvittnessystem, som innebär att en tilltalad genom angivelse av andra personers brottslighet kan få ett lindrigare straff, förekommer inte i det svenska rättsystemet. Syftet med denna uppsats är att, efter en komparation med Danmark, utreda om ett kronvittnessystem som strafflindringsgrund borde införas. Straffsystemets vägledande principer i både Danmark och Sverige är rättssäkerhet, legalThe legal system of Sweden does not contain a crown witness system. A crown witness system means that a defendant can get a penalty discount if he or she reveals other people's crimes so the police and the prosecutor can convict other criminals. The purpose of this essay is to investigate, after a comparison with Denmark, if Sweden should introduce a crown witness system as a possibility to ge

The challenge of finding correct measurements for mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions: A frame-critical analysis of the Kyoto protocol

The Kyoto protocol was the first tangible approach to prevent increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In order to attain this objective, the parties of the protocol decided to put restrictions on anthropogenic emissions caused by production in developed countries. This territorially defined production-based method of measuring might have been a misguided path though. Researchers

Method development for serial-extraction of contaminants in fish followed by species comparison of PCB 153 levels in Tench and Roach from Källby waste water treatment pond

Two studies were performed in this paper. The first study was a method development examining the possibilities to do a serial extraction of lipids, PCB 153, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) from a single sample. Five different treatments were tested with three replicates from each individual fish. All samples were first freeze-dried

MAKE UP

What you see is the result of everything you cannot see As a designer you are expected to design objects. But why do we design these objects and what value do the objects have to their owners and other viewers? Why do humans need to possess objects at all, and how are the objects chosen? Starting this project with poaching in Africa ending up with a 110 kg’s cabinet made out of concrete and ste

Evaluation of a sustainable spare part distribution at Tetra Pak

Purpose The purpose of the report is to look into the effect of changing from air shipments to sea shipments at Tetra Pak Technical Service AB and the economical and environmental impact of such a change on the supply chain. Methodology The report is carried out by collecting the data regarding the different transportation modes in interviews with responsible persons within Tetra Pak and the trans

In Vitro Platform for Basic Testing of Micro- and Nanoelectrodes Intended for Chronic Implantation

Microelectrodes today and nanoelectrodes tomorrow further studies in fields of science such as neurobiology and electrophysiology, and are already in use as neural prosthetics. When electronic devices are used in biomedicine, especially when needed for chronic implantation, their ongoing downscaling is largely motivated by two aspects: biocompatibility and specificity. It has been shown that downs

Genotypic variation in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) affects growth-stimulation induced by Trichoderma harzianum T-22

Popular science summary Growth promoting effects of Trichoderma harzianum on sugar beet Imagine if a plant could be prepared to a pathogen attack before the attack occurs, or if a plant could grow stronger, without an excessive addition of inorganic chemicals. It can, it just need a little help from a fungus. The fungus that stimulates plants is called Trichoderma harzianum. It induces both p

Voluntary Environmental Disclosure: A study of the Carbon Disclosure Project

Events, such as increased risks of drought and flooding, that scientist have associated with climate change can have serious impacts on the physical environment, society, and the economy. In the past companies, despite their significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions were largely excluded in the search for solutions. However, increasing awareness among politicians and civil society has r

Via Rupta: Nykantianska perspektiv på den kontinentalanalytiska särgången

The objective of this thesis is to investigate a possible contributive origin to the contemporary divide between the continental and analytical traditions of philosophy in the history of 20th century neo-Kantianism as well as the theoretical polemics that took place between Carnap and Heidegger in relation to this context. The first part of the thesis has its vantage point in 19th century discours

Making heads throb heartlike - Om utvecklingen av David Foster Wallaces författarskap

I denna kandidatuppsats behandlas David Foster Wallaces författarskap och hur han reflekterade kring skrivandet. Syftet att undersöka en författares synpunkt på relationen mellan litteraturen och filosofin, samt det privata och det offentliga. Detta görs genom att utforska Wallaces uttalanden kring ämnet i olika skeden utav hans författarskap. Då vissa filosofiska teorier framträder i detta samman

Att mäta korruption - har valet av index betydelse?

Information about the level of corruption is today widely used in research, by aid donors and as decision support for investments. A rising demand for information has led to several new organizations’ attempt at measuring it. This study examines the issues that might arise when using a particular index since the indices might differ. By studying correlations between the indices we find that depend

Forskare, jägare, kolonisatör

Forskare, jägare, kolonisatör examines Tierleben, German naturalist Alfred Brehm's magnum opus, with the purpose of discussing the work's relationship to colonial attitudes towards Africa prevalent in Europe at the time of its writing. The focus has been in examining how the nature of Africa, the European colonial presence and the relationship between European, African and animal are depic

Opposing Ugandan homosexual policies—an activist perspective

Based on the perspective of LGBTI-activists, the aim of this study was to analyze the policy processes that frame homosexuality in Uganda, as well as to illuminate different powerful stakeholders involved in the debate with power in the policy process. In October 2009, Member of Parliament David Bahati tabled the Anti-homosexuality Bill in Uganda. The drafting of the Bill condemns people convicted

The development of agricultural food markets in Costa Rica and the influence of the diffusion of supermarkets

During the past thirty years the world has witnessed remarkable developments in agricultural markets in various parts of the world along with several obstacles in reducing global poverty rates. Previous research suggests that the inclusion of small-scale producers into agricultural economies is crucial for sustaining growth and reducing poverty. We argue that the agricultural structural transforma

The CP violating NMSSM in light of the newly discovered Higgs boson

The Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) allows a CP violating phase at tree level in the Higgs sector. This CP violation will introduce new mixing between the neutral Higgs states and give rise to changes in the mass spectrum and couplings. We investigate these effects in light of the newly discovered Higgs boson, as its measured properties provides new limits on the Higgs sector

Producentöverskottet ex ante, ex post

The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether or not the producer surplus calculated in Swedish cost benefit analyses correlate with the actual outcome in a satisfying way. In order to do this the electrification of Blekinge coastal railway in southern Sweden is examined by looking at the two parts of the producer surplus, the income generated by, and the cost of producing the service. While

Quality Improvement through Project Selection at Husqvarna Group

Background Whenever quality has been impaired, and a problem has been detected within a product, the producer needs to take action. However, in today’s scarce economic climate resources has to be spent where the benefits are the highest – thus initiating a prioritization problem. When not all issues can be handled at once, it is important to focus on those that provide the most in return. By selec
