These cinematic portrayals continually reimagined her character. This thesis focuses on one aspect: her rebelliousness, exploring how it is constructed in film and how it has evolved over the past seventy years in response to shifting societal norm

Over recent years many urban areas have experienced severe floods caused by extreme precipitation events. To avoid the devastating socioeconomic and environmental consequences of such floods, countries have issued laws or recommendations on flood risk assessment in urban planning. However, these laws or recommendations seldom include detailed requirements on input data quality or explicit instruct

Till följd av växande geopolitiska spänningar och den tekniska utvecklingen har hotbilden kring utländska direktinvesteringar (UDI) uppmärksammats inom Europeiska unionen (EU). För att bemöta riskerna med UDI stiftades Europaparlamentets och rådets förordning (EU) 2019/452 av den 19 mars 2019 om upprättande av en ram för granskning av utländska direktinvesteringar (förordning (EU) 2019/452). FörorAs a result of growing geopolitical tensions and development of modern technologies, the European Union (EU) has recognized concerns regarding certain foreign direct investments (FDI). Regulation (EU) 2019/452 of the European Parliament and of the Council adopted on 19 March 2019 (Regulation (EU) 2019/452), establishes a framework for screening of FDIs into the Union. This regulation was introduce

I takt med samhällets generella digitalisering har också hälso- och sjukvår-den börjat använda alltmer elektroniska verktyg och hjälpmedel. En sådan utveckling är användningen av Ineras e-tjänst 1177 journalen för att tillhandahålla uppgifter ur patientjournaler. I dagsläget gäller den gemen-samma principen för 1177, att vårdnadshavare har tillgång till uppgifter ur sitt barns patientjournal fram In line with the general digitalisation of society, the healthcare sector has also started to use more and more electronic tools and aids. One such development is the use of Ineras e-service 1177 journalen to provide information from patient journals. At present, the common principle for 1177 is that guardians have access to information from their child’s patient journal until the child turns 13.

Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om vilka konsekvenser ett eventuellt återinförande av ett tillräknelighetsrekvisit kan få ur ett brottsofferperspektiv, med särskilt fokus på situationer när gärningspersonen har en intellektuell funktionsnedsättning. I dagens svenska rättsordning saknas ett tillräknelighetsrekvisit. Detta rekvisit innebär ett krav på att gärningspersonen ska besitta en viss kognitivThis thesis explores the question of whether a reintroduction of an imputability requirement in Swedish law would affect the treatment of offenders with intellectual disabilities, and what consequences this in turn would have for victims of crime. In the current Swedish legal system, there is no requirement of culpability. The requirement means that the offender must have had a certain cognitive a
