Filmdistributionen befinner sig i en ny digital verklighet. Den snabba tekniska utveckling som har ägt rum de senaste decennierna har inneburit stora utmaningar för såväl filmindustrins affärsmodell som de upphovsrättsliga bestämmelser som reglerar skyddet för filmverk och dess upphovsmän. Ett exempel på en bestämmelse vars tillämpningsområde är oklart till följd av den nya distributionen av digitFilm distribution has found itself in a new digital reality. The swift progress of technology that has taken place during the past decades has posed major challenges for both the film industry's business model and for the copyright laws that regulate the area. An example of a regulation whose scope is unclear as a result of the new distribution of digital copies is the principle of exhaustion.

Skiljeförfarandet utgör det enda alternativ till domstolsförfarande som också resulterar i en exigibel dom med rättskraft. Ett avtal om skiljeförfarande utgör ett hinder mot domstolsprövning om det åberopas inför domstol. Motsvarande prövningshinder gäller för skiljenämnd om en tvistefråga som anhängiggörs skiljenämnden faller utanför skiljeavtalets tillämpningsområde, eftersom skiljenämnden då inArbitration constitutes the only alternative to a judicial proceeding in court that also results in a legally binding judgement. An arbitration agreement also constitutes a procedural impediment if reference to it is made before the court. Corresponding procedural hindrance applies to an arbitration tribunal or to an arbitrator if the matter of dispute referred to arbitration lies outside the scop

The purpose of this essay is to examine how two nonfiction books for children in the category sexual education from Sweden portrays gender and sexuality.

Germany is generally considered to be a country that is free trade friendly and had, at the start of the TTIP negotiations, a majority in favour of TTIP. Now however, Germany has amongst the lowest levels of public support of TTIP of all EU member states, while a majority at the same time remain positive of international trade and even increased trade with the US. Previous studies have shown that

This thesis presents and tests the convergence rate of the Dirichlet-Neumann algorithm for two Poisson equations coupled by transmission boundary conditions. Three second order discretisation methods are used when analyzing the convergence: standard equidistant finite difference, standard adaptive linear finite element, and standard adaptive finite volume discretisation of Poisson's equation.

The growing popularity of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) demands continuous improvement and optimization of the training process to achieve higher-performing algorithms at a lower computational cost. During training an ANN learns to solve a problem by looking at examples, and will iteratively go over a dataset to reach an optimal performance. Usually the user needs to define a fixed number of it

Democracy is both a question of who the people are (demos) and how they rule (kratos); our understanding of democracy is imbalanced in favour of the latter. The aim of this thesis is to conduct a pilot project evaluating and comparing the level of democracy from a demos perspective through an index. The findings of a research review establishes the theoretical foundation of the index, which is the

The aim of this qualitative study was to examine the perceived discretion among middle managers in municipal elderly care. The method used was four semistructured interviews with four middle managers. To analyze the results, the situational leadership theory and Bolman and Deal´s structural and human resource theory is used. The questions answered were what middle manager´s position means, how dis

The aim of this study was to achieve an understanding of how public media pictures mental illness with help from a stigma perspective. Throughout the investigation the Stigma Process by Link and Phelan (2001) has been used to understand and interpret the material acquired. In this study 36 articles from the largest Swedish evening papers have been analyzed and the articles have been taken within a

Today’s dementia care has demonstrated a widespread use of locking devices in the escape routes of the care units. Most commonly code locks. The locking devices are used to prevent wanderers from wandering away from de dementia unit and risk hurting themselves, disappear or even die. On the contrary, the locks themselves may endanger a safe escape in the case of fire as well as it is may violate t

This research study has sought the contextual understanding of young adults’ realities and the perpetual use of violence within heterosexual intimate partner relationships in Hanuabada village, Papua New Guinea through an interactive transformative approach. Peer interviewers guided the researcher’s tasks and conducted semi-structured interviews utilizing a photo voice methodology to investigate t

In todays knowledge economy the use of information and communcation technology (ICT) is ever increasing. The need for investment in ICT infrastructure is stressed from a range of policy makers. In this thesis, using the concept of virtual proximity, the question of how these ICTs can facilitate innovation for rurally located companies will be discussed. The thesis will be aimed at the plastic indu

Foreign invested SMEs have recently become increasingly interested in China. The enterprises are in this report categorized as second wave companies since they follow the footsteps of previous pioneers, of which mostly were larger companies. The ambitions of the SMEs are either to sell products on the ever expanding Chinese market or to utilize the potential of low cost production for global marke

Optimisation of cheese yield is crucial for cheese production; a previous study showed large variations in chymosin-induced coagulation in milk from the second most common Swedish dairy breed, Swedish Red. In the present study, the effect of gross composition, protein composition, total and ionic calcium content, phosphorous content and casein micelle size on chymosin-induced gelation was determin

The purpose of this paper has been to explore how Internet is perceived, with reference to youth, risk and responsibility, by a section of the population in North-West Skåne in Sweden. The questions central to our area of interest were: - Where does the responsibility for a safe Internet environment lie? - What measures are believed to be able to make Internet safer? - Are the opinions about sa

In May 2003 Lund University, Sweden, ordered a new AMS facility from National Electrostatics Corp. (NEC), Wisconsin. The system is the first low energy, open air, single stage AMS system (SSAMS). The machine is equipped with a dual ion source sequential injector, which allows measurements of carbon with the masses 12, 13 and 14. The machine operates at 250 kV with the gas stripper, high energy mag

Hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy (HCCAA) is a dominantly inherited disease characterized by amyloidosis, dementia and fatal cerebral hemorrhage of young adults. A method for rapid and simple diagnosis of HCCAA is described. It is based upon oligonucleotide-directed enzymatic amplification of a 275-bp genomic DNA segment containing exon 2 of the cystatin C gene from a blood sample, followed

Most studies of gesture production to date have been based on analyses of narrative discourse in face-to-face interaction. Issues such as the relationship between gesture types and the content of speech, as well as the distribution of particular gesture types across given narrative sequences have been investigated. Depictive gestures, e.g., are frequent where the content concerns the description o

Acid hydrolysis of lignocellulose to hydrolysates intended for production of fuel ethanol results in the formation of byproducts in addition to fermentable sugars. Some of the byproducts, such as phenolic compounds and furan aldehydes, are inhibitory to the fermenting microorganism. Detoxification of the hydrolysates may be necessary for production of ethanol at a satisfactory rate and yield. The
