Nödvärn - den enskildes rättigheter vid ett brottsligt angrepp

Denna uppsats beskriver nödvärnsrätten såsom den är utformad i svensk rätt. Genom en rättsdogmatisk metod redogörs för lagtext, praxis, förarbeten och doktrin på området, det vill säga de i rättskälleläran utpekade rättskallorna.

Using Sensor Equipped Smartphones to Localize WiFi Access Points

Determining the position of mobile devices is an important business and research area due to the many applications it enables. Outdoors, positioning is often solved by the Global Positioning System (GPS). Indoors however, the signals received from GPS satellites are too weak to provide meaningful position estimates. Therefore, indoor positioning must be done using other techniques, such as trilate

Interventions for successful recycling of nutrients and energy from food waste - How can Swedish municipalities overcome barriers for a sustainable food waste management system?

One of the interim targets in the Swedish national Good Built Environment objective states that biological treatment of source separated food waste should be a priority. The goal of biologically treating 35 percent of all municipal food waste in 2010 was not achieved, and a proposed target for 2015 raises the bar even further (40 percent). The way the proposed milestone target is phrased excludes
