Sektion 52 i Copyright Designs and Patents Act innebär att det upphovsrättsliga skyddet i Storbritannien, vilket garanterar upphovsmannen ett skydd för 70 år efter hans död, minskar till 25 år efter att verket satts på marknaden om det upphovsskyddade verket har massproducerats. Storbritanniens lagstiftning skiljer sig från regleringen i övriga Europa eftersom resterande länder inte har samma undaThe foundational copyright protection in the United Kingdom provides the creator with a protection of 70 years after the death of the creator. Section 52 of the Copyright Designs and Patents Act reduces the copyright protec-tion, if the piece has been mass produced industrially, to a protection of 25 years after the product has been put on the market. The British government has during 2013 decided

Women have in most societies around the world more or less always been subordinate to men. To add to the debate on how to address this problem from one more dimension this paper examines how demographic factors affect the status of females with the help of the following research questions; How does the correlations appear between the changes in demographic factors and changes regarding women’s sta

Vattendrag i Sverige har genom tiderna blivit mycket påverkade av jordbruk och andra mänskliga faktorer. Framförallt vattendragen i Skåne är kraftigt påverkade och har varit det under de senaste 150 åren, sedan jordbruket gjordes mer effektivt. Utdikning och uträtning av våra åar har gett jordbruken mer plats och effektiviserat det. Ökningen av jordbrukets avkastning har lett till att våra vattendStreams in Scania are and have been highly affected by the intense agriculture taking place in their surroundings. It is known how nutrients and suspended solids severely affect species living in the streams as well as in the watercourses in southwestern parts of Scania where the water ends up in the end. Streams in Scania have been regulated in many ways to increase the agricultural payoff and th

The viability of a main-group triple bond depends critically on the strength of its π-manifold. Among the 15 possible diatomic homo- and interpnictogens, EE′, (E, E′ = group 15 element), the NN linkage of dinitrogen stands out as one of the strongest triple bonds that exists, whereas the heavier pnictogens form thermodynamically unstable triple bond motifs that either decompose to single-bonded ol

Most flowering plants depend on insect pollinators for their reproduction, yet these pollinators have been facing considerable losses in abundance and diversity in recent decades. The ongoing pollinator declines, caused by stressors including land-use and climate change, have raised concerns for species-rich plant communities such as those found in semi-natural grasslands. These communities contai

Let Hd2 be the Drury–Arveson space, and let f∈Hd2 have bounded argument and no zeros in Bd. We show that f is cyclic in Hd2 if and only if logf belongs to the Pick-Smirnov class N+(Hd2). Furthermore, for non-vanishing functions f∈Hd2 with bounded argument and H∞-norm less than 1, cyclicity can also be tested via iterated logarithms. For example, we show that f is cyclic if and only if log(1+log(1∕

Objective: The aim was to investigate associations between dental healthcare utilization and all-cause, cardiovascular (CVD), cancer, and other-cause mortality. Materials and methods: A postal public health survey was distributed in the autumn of 2008 to a strat-ified random sample of the population aged 18–80 in Scania, southern Sweden (response rate 54.1%). Baseline survey data were linked to mo

Geographical Indications (GIs) are collective property rights, which identify a good as originating from a specific geographical region. If the producers of GI products can signal to the consumers the specific qualities their products possess, qualities that are attributable to the land, then – due to the products ties to their region of production – GI products are considered to have potentials t

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate international specialisation and trade patterns in the Romanian automotive industry. This was done in view of the Romanian EU accession in 2007, both in relation to the original 15 EU members and in the global context. The two measures used are Balassa’s Revealed Comparative Advantage measurements and the Grubel-Lloyd measure for Intra-Industry Trade.

The Caroline Case with its principles of necessity, proportionality and immediacy is alleged to be part of customary international law consider anticipatory self-defence, but a closer examination views that it can not be, mostly because of States are not convinced that it is the correct behaviour. Even if Article 51 of the UN Charter has been expanded to include acts of terrorism as armed attacks,

Uppsatsen behandlar gällande rätt rörande arbetstagarens integritet och kravet på dennes lojalitet inom svensk arbetsrätt. Rätten som den ser ut idag ställs mot de nya problem som uppkommit efter Internet och så kallade sociala mediers intåg på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Integritetsfrågor har länge varit intressant på den svenska arbetsmarknaden och har influerats av arbetet inom den europeiskThe thesis deals with the current Swedish legislation concerning the employee’s right to personal integrity and the need for his loyalty in the Swedish labour law. Modern day law is faced with the new problems that arose after the inmarsch of Internet and the so called social media into the Swedish labour market. The matter of integrity in the Swedish labour market has been of great interest for

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om Sverige har uppfyllt sina internationella åtaganden gällande efterlevnaden av principen om non-refoulement i svensk migrationsrätt. I generella termer innebär principen om non-refoulement ett verkställighetshinder mot avvisning och utvisning då personen i fråga riskerar att utsättas för tortyr och förföljelse i det mottagande landet. Denna princip kommeThe purpose of this thesis is to assess whether Sweden has fulfilled its obligation to implement the principle of non-refoulement in Swedish migration law. The principle of non-refoulement, in general terms, implies an impediment for execution that obliges a state not to permit removal of a person to a county where he or she is at risk of being subjected to torture or persecution. This principle i

The precise valuation and correct assessment of the value of imported goods should be preceded by determining the value of imported goods for Customs purposes. The provisions regulating the Customs valuation are overlapped and complicated; the reason which prompted the Author, through this paper, to eliminate this overlaps and simplify the complexity, using a new approach represented by reclassify

DNA methylation changes during aging, but it remains unclear whether the effect of DNA methylation on lung cancer survival varies with age. Such an effect could decrease prediction accuracy and treatment efficacy. We performed a methylation-age interaction analysis using 1,230 early-stage lung adenocarcinoma patients from five cohorts. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to investigate lung

Background: A contralateral occult inguinal hernia is frequently observed in patients planned for a unilateral laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Surgical strategy for contralateral groin management in patients scheduled for an endo-laparoscopic unilateral inguinal hernia repair is controversial and based on questionable evidence. This study aimed to gather international opinion concerning the s

Strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in combination with a lack of inversion symmetry and exchange magnetic interaction proves to be a sophisticated instrument allowing efficient control of the spin orientation, energy and trajectories of two-dimensional (2D) electrons and holes trapped at surfaces or interfaces. Exploiting Kondo-related phenomena and crystal-electric-field effects at reduced dimensio

When liquids flow through a throttling element, the velocity increases and the pressure decreases. At this point, if the pressure is below the saturated vapor pressure of this liquid, the liquid will vaporize into small bubbles, causing hydraulic cavitation. In fact, a vaporization nucleus is another crucial condition for vaporizing, and particles contained in the liquid can also work as the vapor
