Sammanfattning Denna uppsats kommer främst att behandla i vilken mån upphovsmän skyddas efter att de genom avtal överlåtit sin upphovsrätt till någon annan. För att upphovsmän ska kunna dra nytta av sina verk måste de i flesta fallen överlåta sin upphovsrätt till verket till ett förvärvare, oftast ett företag som senare utnyttjar och exploaterar dessa. Upphovsmannen har ett starkt skydd för sina Summary This essay will go thorough and discuss what kind of protection authors in the digital single market are given when they by contract transfer their copyright to someone else. In most cases, an author must first transfer it to another user in order to make use of or gain from his or her copyright. More often than not this user is some form of company that exploits the copyright. In Swedish

År 2006 valde den svenska regeringen att tillsätta en utredning för att kartlägga omfattningen av den vanvård som skett i den sociala barnavården. Utredningen bedrevs främst genom intervjuer med frivilliga, som ville berätta om vad de utsatts för i sin barndom. Över 1000 personer blev intervjuade, det stora intresset var inte väntat utan utredningen överskred sina tidsramar både en och två gånger.The Swedish government initiated an inquiry in 2006 to survey the extent of serious abuse or neglect of children in social care. The inquiry took place primarily through interviews with volunteers who wanted to share what had happened to them in their childhood. More than 1000 people were interviewed, the huge interest was not expected and the time frame for the inquiry had to be extended not once

In recent years, there has been an increase of interest in smart grid concept, to adapt the power grid to improve the reliability, efficiency and economics of the electricity production and distribution. One of the generator side problem in this is to meet the power requirement while not wasting unnecessary power, thus keeping the cost down, which must be done while the frequency is kept in a suit

A ubiquitous and accurate positioning system for mobile devices is of great importance both to business and research due to the large number of applications and services it enables. In most outdoor environments this problem was solved by the introduction of the Global Positioning System (GPS). In indoor or suburban areas however, the GPS signals are often too weak to enable a reliable position est

This thesis is about the overlooked workload nurses’ hands are daily exposed to. This workload is made up of small tasks, seemingly requiring small efforts that together and over time can cause considerable muscle wear. A large number of these tasks consist of opening packages constructed to ensure that the products are sterile. In this study, the effects these packages have on the users were exam

Fram till för några decennier sedan, innan ordförande Maos död, var Kina avstängt från resten av världen. Idag är Kina världens näst största ekonomi och en mycket attraktiv destination för utländska investeringar. Medan denna ekonomiska explosion har medfört enorm teknikutveckling för Kina, har vissa observatörer påstått att dessa framsteg har kommit genom det som kallas "tvångsöverföring av

Avtalsfrihet och pacta sunt servanda är två grundläggande principer inom svensk avtalsrätt och ligger som grund för synen på avtalet. Ett avtal är en rättshandling, vilket definieras som en handling vars syfte är att ”grundlägga, förändra eller upphäva ett rättsförhållande”. Att ett rättssubjekt kan ändra sina rättsförhållande genom att företa eller mottaga rättshandlingar följer av allmänna princThe aim for this thesis is to investigate how passivity in a contractual relationship can affect the agreement between two parties. Under what circumstances can the behavior of a party change the agreed terms and how can these terms be changed if a party is passive regarding its legitimate claims. To understand this problem, one must also understand how a contract is interpreted and in what way ag

Varumärkesförfalskning är idag ett allmänt förekommande problem. Utbredningen av förfalskade varor riskerar att minska incitamenten att investera och bygga upp varumärken, på samma sätt som incitamenten att investera i och utveckla läkemedel skulle minska om möjligheten till patent försvagades. Varumärkesförfalskning är ett problem för både konsumenter och näringsidkare. Konsumenterna riskerar attCounterfeiting in gods is a fast growing issue affecting both consumers and businesses worldwide. Consumers might mistake a fake with the original product and traders threaten to weaken their brands and the sale is lost in favour of the counterfeit gods. In the long run the expansion of counterfeiting gods might lead to less incentives for businesses to invest and develop trademarks. From the firs

Upplysningsplikten ålägger den som vill teckna försäkring att förse försäkringsbolaget med relevant information rörande risken. Anledningen till att en sådan skyldighet finns är att den typen av information i många fall finns hos den som vill teckna försäkring. Upplysningsplikten har varit orsaken till en stor mängd domstolsprövningar i Storbritannien medan den i de nordiska länderna knappt har vaThe duty of disclosure is a system of rules applied during the period up until an insurance policy is concluded.

This thesis aims to develop the research focused on the economic value of deal terms in venture capital (VC) contracts. The study looks at common features (covenants) in a Venture Capital contract such as preferred equity, ceased participation, liquidation preference, and dividends. Different deal terms (covenants) and their outcomes for the VC are tested in order to examine if significantly diffe

This master’s thesis explores and discusses the discursive construction of the image of Sweden within the exhibition practice of the Swedish Institute in Paris, France (SI Paris). SI Paris is the only Swedish culture centre abroad and hosts several exhibitions portraying different elements of Swedish culture each year. SI Paris is a part of the larger organisation the Swedish Institute (SI) which

Horses have a great social, cultural and economic importance in society and contribute to the open landscape. There are currently more than 360,000 horses in Sweden, which together produce over 2.7 million tons of manure per year. This represents 10% of the total amount of manure from all livestock in the country. Most horses are found in urban or near-urban rural areas, which means that there is

Road traffic pollution is one of the most important factors among other environmental factors that influence the roadside vegetation. The present research examines the impact of motorway flyovers and at-grade roads on air pollution (PM10, SOx, NOx, and air quality index (AQI)) and roadside vegetation in Dehradun by considering the important biochemical parameters such as chlorophyll, ascorbic acid

In two event-related potential studies, we investigated the processing of sentences with prefixal negation (unauthorized), sentential negation (not authorized) and no negation (authorized). We asked whether prefixal and sentential negation resulted in delayed processing. In Experiment 1, sentences such as “The White House announced that the new Obama biography was authorized/unauthorized/not autho

Background & Objective: Patients with mild hypothyroidism often are depressed and have impaired quality of life despite serum free-T4 and T3 within reference values. Therefore, we investigated whether their symptoms were dependent on the concentrations of free -T4 and T3 in the circulation and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Methods: Twenty-five newly diagnosed, untreated hypothyroid subjects and a

In August 2007 we went to New Zealand for a placement at Child Youth and Family Services. There our interest in Family Group Conferences (FGC) took off. FGC is not near as common in Sweden as in New Zealand. Therefore the purpose of this study was to examine how the Social Services in Helsingborg and Höör in Sweden and Belfast in Northern Ireland work with FGC. We had the privilege to go to Belfas

Despite efforts to end it, poverty still persists in the world today. Lately, microcredit has received much attention as a possible remedy. Even though there are many studies investigating the effects of microcredit there is a lack of research on the impact of microcredit on national poverty. Therefore the purpose of this study is to investigate that particular aspect by analyzing the impact so fa

BACKGROUND: A significant proportion of patients with ST-segment– elevation myocardial infarction (MI) have no standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (SMuRFs) and have unexpected worse 30-day outcomes compared with those with SMuRFs. The aim of this article is to examine outcomes of patients with non–ST- segment– elevation MI in the absence of SMuRFs. METHODS AND RESULTS: Presenting featu
