Konsumenttjänstlagen äger numera omedelbar tillämpning på alla slags avtal om entreprenader där beställaren utgörs av enskild konsument (konsumententreprenadavtal). Konsumententreprenadavtalet kan därför betraktas som en lagreglerad avtalstyp. Konsumenttjänstlagen har emellertid ett vitt tillämpningsområde och omfattar en mångfald av olika slags tjänsteavtal. I detta sammanhang reser uppsatsen fråThe Consumer Services Act is applicable to any kind of construction contracts where the customer is a consumer (consumer construction contracts). Thus the consumer construction contracts can be regarded as a contract type regulated by statutory law. The Consumer Services Act, however, has a wide scope of application, comprising not only consumer construction contracts but also other various types

Nanowire tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) were investigated by carrying out noise measurements and low-temperature DC measurements. The TFET tunnelling junction was realised by a GaSb/InAs heterojunction resulting in a broken band gap. TFET noise currents were measured at frequencies between 10 Hz and 1 kHz. The results imply that noise in TFETs at the current state of development is domina

Underrättelsetjänster genererar generellt ett stort intresse för allmänheten. En bidragande orsak kan vara för att det är svårt att få en insyn i en sådan verksamhet. Insynen till verksamheten behöver förbättras, eftersom medborgare i en demokrati behöver förstå vad en underrättelsetjänst sysslar med, samt att underrättelsetjänsten ska kunna verka med högt förtroende.

Given the extent and urgency of many sustainability challenges it is crucial that individuals change their behaviour to steer society towards a more sustainable future. Yet, a variety of barriers exist that hinder sufficient individual pro-environmental behaviour. As it is not only important to understand these barriers but also how to facilitate more pro-environmental behaviour, my research aim i

We are currently using the planet’s limited resources in a very unsustainable way: around one-third of all food produced for human consumption is wasted each year, which has immense environmental, social and economic consequences. Even though ranked as one of the most sustainable countries in the world, Denmark still wastes annually food worth €1.1billion. To reduce the amount of food waste and al

It have been posited that one of the greatest challenges for intelligence analysts is to correctly understand the enemy. Is this possible, which are the traps and can the process be improved? In this essay we will try to answer these questions by applying theories from cognitive psychology, namely those of heuristics and cognitive biases. We will review the theories, see where they fit with histor

Det sker ett ständigt pågående arbete på olika nivåer i samhället för att förbättra ungdomars psykiska hälsa. Det finns stor kunskap om en mängd faktorer som kan påverka livstillfredsställelse, men man vet inte vilka som är avgörande, för att ungdomar ska må bra och uppleva hög livstillfredsställelse. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka livstillfredsställelse nivå hur olika faktorer samverkar mContinuous work to improve the psychiatric health of the youth is ongoing in society. There is a great amount of knowledge available regarding a multitude of factors relating to satisfaction of life amongst youth, but it is still uncertain which ones are decisive. This study aims to investigate how different factors correlate with life satisfaction, and whether or not there existed any gender diff

Det är den bittra sanningen att under en kris går inte allt att rädda. Grundläggande värden konkurrerar mot varandra om vår uppmärksamhet i en kamp där det mest samhällsviktiga ska räddas först. Men hur ska en beslutsfattare kunna avgöra vem eller vad som ska prioriteras i ett tidspressat och kaotiskt tillstånd? Kan en digital karta vara den vägvisare som skapar den överblick som krävs för att på During the past decades, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been developed as a tool for managing spatial data. Under the right conditions, GIS can be a useful tool in the field of crisis management where private and public actors need to manage extensive flows of information. This master thesis aims to study how GIS is used in different parts of the risk and vulnerability analysis process.

Exit taxes represent an expression of state’s sovereignty by taxing value increases of assets, hidden reserves and any untaxed income that arose on its territory. These taxes are triggered before the state of emigration loses its power of taxation as a result of the transfer to the jurisdiction of another state when an individual or company changes residency. The purpose of exit taxes is to protec

This study examines how separatism can be used as a tool to enable young girls as a group to feel more at home in public places designed for physical activity. The purpose is to try the hypothesis that the tradition of male domination in public spaces, and stereotypical ideas about gender, systematically excludes women and girls from these places, and that girl separatist activities can give the g

Hultsfred is a small municipality in Småland, Sweden, that has faced the challenges of a shrinking population, factory closures and a stagnant economy. The Hultsfred Festival was a music festival arranged annually between 1986 – 2012 in Hultsfred by the nonprofit association Rockparty. The festival grew and became the biggest in Sweden and it got a lot of coverage from the Swedish media. In the ba

Ever since the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child was ratified by Sweden in 1990 there has been an ongoing discussion on how to implement children’s rights in Swedish public institutions. This thesis intends to uncover if and how the child perspective is taken into consideration regarding spatial planning. There are two purposes, one is to investigate what the concept of child p

Attractiveness has become a widely used concept in planning and public policy the last 15 years in Sweden. However, there is no broad definition of attractiveness and thus it is subject to interpretation. To understand how and why it can be interpreted differently this thesis will investigate how two different municipalities with comparable physical factors but otherwise different socio-economical

As the Union Customs Code will replace the Community Customs Code with effect from 1 May 2016, the thesis focuses on the new treatment of royalty payments for customs purposes and its legal consequences. In a first step, a comparison between the Community Customs Code and the Union Customs Code reveals that importers will have to face a significant increase in the customs liability of royalty pa

Uppsatsen behandlar vissa frågor kopplade till värdeöverföringar i koncernmiljö. En koncern ses ofta, i alla fall ur ett ekonomiskt perspektiv, som en enhet men moderbolag och dotterbolag ses aktiebolagsrättsligt som skilda rättssubjekt med egen förmögenhet och egna borgenärer. Det som brukar kallas förtäckt värdeöverföring definieras i aktiebolagslagen (2005:551) som en ”annan affärshändelse somThis paper describes a few questions relating to value transfers within company groups. A company group is often seen as a whole, at least from an economic point of view. The parent company and its subsidiaries are, however, in Swedish company law seen as different entities with their own respective assets and creditors. A transaction described in the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551) as ”another

Först och främst är det här en uppsats om det tvärvetenskapliga studieområdet juridik-och-film, och uppsatsen syftar till att visa varför detta område är relevant och intressant för såväl jurister som filmvetare och en intresserad allmänhet. Filmens samhälleliga roll under de senaste 100 åren kan knappast underskattas, och detta unika medium blir ständigt mer frekvent förekommande i den svenska bFirst and foremost this is an essay on the interdisciplinary studies of law-and-film, which aims to show why this area is relevant and interesting to legal practitioners and scholars as well as to film scholars and the general public. Film's role in society during the past 100 years can hardly be underestimated, and this unique medium has become ever more frequent in the Swedish criminal proc

Privata skadeståndsprocesser, där den part som lidit skada av ett konkurrensbrott kräver kompensation från skadevållaren, har än så länge inte haft en framträdande roll i EU. Enbart 25 % av kommissionens kartellbeslut följdes upp med privata processer mellan 2008 och 2012, och av dessa skedde merparten i Storbritannien, Nederländerna och Tyskland. Som ett svar på detta föreslog kommissionen ett nyPrivate enforcement, where victims of a competition infringement claim compensation from the infringer, has so far not played a prominent role within the EU. It has been stated that only 25 % of the Commission’s antitrust decision were followed by private damages action between 2008 and 2012. Furthermore, the major part of these claims was filed in the UK, the Netherlands and Germany. As a respons

Idrottsrelaterad brottslighet är inget nytt fenomen. Det är dock ett problem som alltmer hamnat i fokus. Från att mer eller mindre ansetts vara ett idrottsproblem har det gradvist övergått till att även bli ett samhällsproblem. Idrottsrelaterad brottslighet påverkar både idrottsrörelsen samt samhället i stort. Minskade publiksiffror och intäktsbortfall från sponsorer är enbart en del av alla negatSports-related crime is not a new phenomenon, it is however a problem that increasingly comes into focus. From being a problem within sport, it has gradually shifted to become a social problem. Decreased attendance figures and revenues from sponsors is only a part of all the negative consequences that affects a sports club. Furthermore, the crime entails significant cost on society and the sports

Stalkningföreteelsen blev under 2011 lagstadgat genom införandet av 4 kap. 4b§ BrB och fick den straffrättsliga benämningen olaga förföljelse. I bestämmelsen uppräknas tio olika brott som, då de har begåtts på ett sätt som kan anses utgöra en förföljelse och kränkt målsägandes integritet, konstituerar brottet olaga förföljelse. Ett av de brott som räknas upp i bestämmelsen är överträdelser av ett In 2011 stalking became statutory by the introduction of chapter 4, section 4b§ of the Swedish Penal Code, and got the criminal designation ”unlawful persecution”. This offense is based on ten different crimes that, when they are committed in a way that can be described as a persecution and has violated the victim´s privacy, constitutes unlawful persecution.
