Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: När skedde Santoriniutbrottet : datering i ett isborrkärneperspektiv. Under sen bronsålder skedde ett av historiens största vulkanutbrott på Santorini, Grekland. Utbrottet hade ödesdigra konsekvenser för den Minoiska civilisationen som levde i området. För arkeologer som arbetar i regionen är utbrottet en mycket viktig tidsmarkering eftersom utbrottet var en stoThe Santorini eruption is one of the greatest in historic time and an important time marker in the regional archaeology. It has been dated to 1627-1600 BC (2σ error) using radiocarbon dating (Friedrich et al. 2006) and to 1642±5 BC by identifying a volcanic fallout layer in the Greenland ice cores (Vinther et al. 2006). However, archaeologists have estimated the eruption almost a century later tha

Människohandel är ett globalt fenomen som förekommer över i stort sett hela världen. Sverige är på intet sätt förskonat från denna cyniska verksamhet, utan har tvärt om visats sig utgöra en lukrativ marknad för människohandlare. Detta då det finns en efterfrågan på de tjänster som verksamheten tillhandahåller, framför allt de av sexuell karaktär. I denna framställning undersöks den svenska konstruHuman trafficking is a global phenomenon that occurs all over the world. Sweden is by no means spared from this cynical practice. On the contrary, the country has shown to be a lucrative market for traffickers. A reason for this is the major demand for the services that trafficking provides, especially those of a sexual nature. This presentation examines the legal construction of the human traffic

Uppgiftsskydd och marknadsexklusivitet är två nya immaterialrättsliga skydd till fördel för forskande läkemedelsföretag. Dessa skydd utgör komplement till bland annat patent och upphovsrätt och syftar till att skydda läkemedelsföretagens produkter från konkurrens. Uppgiftsskydd och marknadsexklusivitet har funnits i EU:s lagstiftning sedan 1987 men har först de senaste åren fått en ökad betydelse Data exclusivity and marketing exclusivity are two new forms intellectual property rights, for the benefit of pharmaceutical companies. They constitute a complement to other IPRs, including patent and copyright, and are intended to provide new pharmaceutical products with a limited time of protection against competition. Data exclusivity and marketing exclusivity has been a part of EU legislation

Sedan EU bildades har unionen haft en central roll för att integrera medlemsstaterna och har också som en effekt av detta haft ett ökande inflytande på medlemsstaternas nationella lagstiftning. Dessutom har denna utveckling lett till juridiska överväganden avseende hur EU:s författningar ska tolkas och verkställas och hur denna integration ska kunna säkerställas. Det finns fyra friheter i EU-fördr

The state of Akwa Ibom, Nigeria is known as one of the wetlands rich in biodiversity as well as oil and gas reserves. Its wetland ecosystem is noted for its primary support it has provided for the people living in this area. However, this wetland has also been a reservoir for Nigeria’s crude oil contributing a prominent share of petroleum product to the country’s GDP, total revenue to the governme

Den organiserade brottsligheten har länge plågat samhället och dess moderna tappning kan dateras till slutet av 1800-talet. På grund av sin unika struktur har den organiserade brottsligheten visat sig vara särskilt svårutredd. Den organiserade brottsligheten fortsätter att växa i Sverige samtidigt som polis och åklagaren med tillgängliga medel försöker förhindra dess framfart och expansion. FråganOrganised crime is a type of criminal enterprise that has plagued society for ages, with its modern form dating back to the late 1800’s. Because of its unique structure considering the general sense of criminality, organised crime has proven to be an exceptionally difficult criminal activity to battle. Organised crime continues to grow in Sweden, with both the police and prosecutors trying to use

Den ökade erosionen till följd av havsnivåhöjningen, orsakad av klimatförändringarna, som läggs på den redan förekommande erosionen kommer få stora konsekvenser. Mark kommer att försvinna där det i dagsläget finns bostäder, vägar, järnvägar, hem för djur- och växtliv, osv. Dessutom leder erosionen till att mark som idag finns tillgänglig för nybyggen i kustnära områden inte längre kommer att existThe globally accelerating sea-level rise poses a problem in coastal areas through, e.g., the erosion of sandy beaches. Due to this, buildings, infrastructure, and other values can be lost, making the future shoreline position important to project in coastal management. One location with historical erosion problems is Ystad municipality in southern Sweden, where the erosive problems are probable to

En gärningsperson som begår ett brott under påverkan av en allvarlig psykisk störning och även vid domstillfället lider av en sådan störning, ska i första hand dömas till rättspsykiatrisk vård istället för fängelse. Vid misstanke om att en allvarlig psykisk störning föreligger får gärningspersonen genomgå en rättspsykiatrisk undersökning. Undersökningen resulterar i att de sakkunniga läkarna och pA perpetrator who commits a crime affected of a severe mental disorder, and also by the time for the verdict is affected by such a disorder, shall primarily be sentenced to care instead of prison. If a severe mental disorder is suspected to be present, the perpetrator may undergo a forensic psychiatric examination. The examination results in a report of expertise, where the doctors and psychiatris

At the end of the eighteenth century, Edward Gibbon described the antiquarian scholars of previous generations as men of “profound learning and easy faith.” His exemplar was the Swedish polymath Olof Rudbeck, who in a series of frantic and combative tomes sought to portray Sweden as the model for Plato’s Atlantis and the seething cultural cauldron from which Western civilization had emerged. A Pil

Autoignition in SI engines is an abnormal combustion mode and may lead to engine knock which is an undesired phenomenon in SI engines. It may cause damage and it is a source of noise in engines. Knock limits the compression ratio of the engine and a low compression ratio means low fuel conversion efficiency of the engine. This thesis presents a theoretical investigation about the modeling of the e

Varumärkesrätten har alltid varit territoriell till sin natur, vilket har inneburit att skyddet som en innehavare av rättigheten ges enbart har varit begränsat till ett specifikt land. Denna territorialitet har visat sig vara svår att förena med Internets gränslösa och allestädes närvarande natur. I denna uppsats har jag utrett och diskuterat frågor som uppkommer vid gränsöverskridande varumärkesiTrademark law has always been territorially limited by its nature which has lead to the situation where the protection, granted to the owner of the right to a specific mark, has been limited to that specific territory. This territorial aspect has proven to be hard to reconcile with the borderless and ubiquitous nature of the Internet. In this thesis I have examined and discussed issues that arise

Migrant women facing domestic violence in the Council of Europe have been traditionally characterised, except in some national countries, as not having any legal possibility to leave the situation with proper resources, or being able to guarantee their stay in the country they are living. Since the approval of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and

Den fotokemiska reaktorn vid Copenhagen Centre for Atmospheric Research, Köpenhamns universitet, har i denna studie används för att bestämma nya värden på hastighetskonstanterna k(i) för reaktionen: CH3Br + OH -> produkter (i) och k(ii) för reaktionen: CH3Br + O(1D) -> produkter. (ii) Radikalerna (O(1D) och OH) framställdes i studien genom att fotolysera ozonmolekyler med UV-C-ljus. OxidationsprocThe photochemical reactor in Copenhagen Centre for Atmospheric Research, University of Copenhagen, was used to determine new values for the rate constants k(i) and of the reaction: CH3Br + OH −> products (i) and k(ii) for the reaction: CH3Br + O(1D) −> products. (ii) The radicals (O(1D) and OH) were produced by photolysis of ozone molecules with UV-C light. The oxidation process was monitored by a

Background: The ability to quickly provide parts for the supply of advanced technical systems in equipment-intensive industries (such as airlines and nuclear power plants) is critical to the systems overall performance. In order to maintain a targeted system availability large quantities of spare parts are often required which in turn results in excessive inventory costs. Seeing as inventory syste

The concept of information literacy is widely discussed and furthermore a common subject for research within the field of Library and Information Science. Information literacy can be described

Problem Until recent years, not enough focus has been placed on assuring the strategic fit of launched projects and multi-project management. Even though the situation is getting better, many companies still do not seem to get their project portfolio management right. At the same time research has shown that businesses that feature a systematic portfolio management process outperform the rest. To

Over the last decade, the private insurance market has undergone a stable growth in turnover and growing demand for insurance products in all Member States of the European Union. Therefore, the creation of a single market in insurance will enable consumers to have access to wider choice of insurance products, and insurance companies to gain access to markets in various Member States and compete ef
