I Sverige är doping även ett brott som omfattas av lagstiftning. Regleringen av doping har varit, och är fortfarande, föremål för omfattande debatt. Ett stadgande som väckt stor uppmärksamhet är de idrottsliga reglernas princip om strikt ansvar.Ever since the professionalisation of sports in the early 20th century, there has been a great interest in doping-related issues. Today, the athletic regulation towards doping is comprehensive. In Sweden it is also a crime by legislation. The regulation has been, and still is, a great subject of debate. A provision that has attracted attention is the athletic principle of strict liability. The pri

Yngre personer är överrepresenterade bland politiska protestdeltagare, och mobiliserar ofta till dessa via sitt sociala nätverk. Då tidigare forskning visat att deltagande kan prediceras av en press att konformera till sociala normer, dvs. av need to belong (NTB) och rejection sensitivity (RS), så ämnade följande studie att undersöka huruvida relationerna mellan dessa skulle vara starkare för yngrYounger people are over-represented in political protests, and tend to mobilise via social ties. As previous research has found participation to be predicted by the pressure to conform to social norms, i.e. by need to belong (NTB), and rejection sensitivity (RS), the current study aimed to investigate whether those relations would be stronger among younger people than older. Furthermore, the effec

Det brukar heta att vi alla är nya någon gång. Ändå bortser majoriteten av ledarskapsforskningen från något som vi menar är av oerhörd betydelse för att ledarskapet ska fungera väl eller inte, erfarenhet. I dagens forskning finns brister kring korrelationen mellan ledarskap och graden av erfarenhet. Vår studie ämnar skapa förståelse för fördelar och nackdelar med oerfaret ledarskap samt visa på hu

När vetenskaplig grund och beprövad erfarenhet skrivs in som begrepp i läroplanen 2011 betonas vikten av ett samspel mellan teori och praktik. Trots detta finns ingen enhetlig definition av begreppens betydelse eller hur begreppen bör tillämpas. Uppsatsens syfte är att skapa en djupare förståelse för hur svensklärare reflekterar kring sin praktik genom att undersöka hur lärarna förhåller sig till

Currently humanity faces environmental challenges that require political action in order to maintain the integrity of human and environmental systems. However, political authorities are not always ready to make rigorous decisions to support the necessary changes. Thus, social movements as a recognised agent of cultural, political and social change have the power to push for these decisions. Over t

The through-silicon via (TSV) is a type of vertical electrical connection that can pass through a silicon wafer or die. By using TSVs, compared to using wire bonding as interconnections in a capacitive fingerprint sensor, the capacitive strength between the sensor die and the finger can be increased. However, since TSV structures are both more complex as structures and have a more complex manufact

In the shadow of commercial fishing fleets, recreational fishers are a lesser known but still substantial group exerting pressure on the world’s aquatic ecosystems and its fish stocks. Enthusiastic angler participation, high catch rates, catch selectivity and harmful fishing techniques characteristic of recreational fishers can have detrimental impacts on the aquatic environment. Furthermore, recr

Increased data quality ensures better decision making, thereby enabling companies to stay competitive in the market. To improve data quality, it is imperative to identify all the characteristics that describe data. And, building on one characteristic results in compromising
