Konkurrensen inom EU är reglerad genom konkurrensrätten i syfte att skapa och upprätthålla en effektiv marknad, den inre marknadens funktion samt välfärden för konsumenten. Förbudsregeln – se art. 101 FEUF och 2:1 KL – utgör tillsammans ett centralt verktyg som ska användas av kommissionen eller annan konkurrensmyndighet för att bryta upp otillåtna samarbeten mellan två eller fler företag, vilka äCompetition within the European union is regulated through a system of competition rules, with the purpose of creating and maintaining an efficient market, the function of the inner market and the consumer welfare. The prohibition rule – see art. 101 TEUF and 2:1 KL – constitutes together an essential tool that ought to be used to break up unwarranted collaborations between two or more undertaking

Häktning är det mest ingripande av våra personella tvångsmedel. Oskyldig eller inte följer det av svensk lag att varje intagen ska behandlas med respekt för sitt människovärde. Vidare ska verkställigheten av häktningen utformas så att negativa följder motverkas, med sådana följder avses bland annat psykiska, sociala och ekonomiska konsekvenser som kan följa av ett frihetsberövande. Om det finns riPre trial detention is a coercion measure where a suspect is incarcerated between the time he or she is being arrested until the trial. A pre trial detainee is considered innocent until proven guilty and thus it is important that the detention is not used as a punishment or rehabilitation. Whether a detainee is innocent or not he or she should be treated with respect for his or her human dignity.

Conservation of the Stone Tiger in Taiwan: An Exploratory Study Leopard cats (Prionailurus bengelensis), named for their colorations and patterns that resemble leopards, are small, wild felids that are broadly distributed throughout Asia. They are also referred to as “stone tiger” (a direct translation from Chinese) in Taiwan, which can be attributed to how they will become motionless in the pre

Implication of DNAJ co-chaperones in Neurodegenerative diseases General improvements of human life conditions at different levels translate into an increasingly growing life span expectancy of the earth population. This, however comes with the cost of an increase in neurodegenerative diseases which broadly increases in frequency with age. Most age related brain diseases such as Parkinson’s dis

Syftet med examensarbetet har varit att utveckla och utvärdera ett realtidssystem som utför analys i molnet och lokalt med hjälp av AWS. De viktigaste målen har varit att skapa ett system som är så snabbt som möjligt och att analysera vilken del av analysen som kan göras i molnet och vilken del som måste göras lokalt. Den förväntade nyttan med systemet är de minskade utvecklings- och underhållskosThe purpose of the degree project has been to develop and evaluate a real-time analysis system which performs analysis in the cloud and locally using AWS. The most important goals have been to create a system which is as fast as possible and to reflect over which part of the analysis can be made in the cloud and which part has to be made local. The expected utility of the system is a consequence o

This master’s thesis explores how a Global Manufacturing Network can be designed with predefined requirements for local final assembly at an overseas plant. This was done in collaboration with Alfa Laval, where the global manufacturing network of Freshwater Generators (FWGs) was analyzed. The study evaluated options of sourcing directly from suppliers and via the main factory to different extents.

Merparten studier som har undersökt hur nattjour påverkar prestation, hälsa och säkerhet, har genomförts i USA där det är vanligt med mycket långa arbetsveckor och arbetspass. Aktuell studie avsåg undersöka effekter av nattjour beträffande kognitiv funktion, riskutsatthet och belastning, under förhållanden representativa för svensk sjukvårdsorganisation. I studien deltog 30 läkare i södra Sverige,Most studies examining how on call duty nighttime affects performance, health and safety, were conducted in the United States where long working weeks and shifts are common. The current study examined the effects of on call duty nighttime on physician´s performance and strain under conditions representative for Swedish healthcare organization. The study enrolled 30 physicians from southern Sweden,

När domstolar ska tolka ett avtal och ett tolkningsalternativ inte kan väljas utifrån subjektiv- och objektiv tolkning finns det generella tolkningsregler el-ler prioritetsregler att tillämpa för att fastställa avtalsinnehållet. Huvudsakli-gen finns det två sådana som kan tillämpas, oklarhetsregeln och minimumre-geln. Oklarhetsregeln innebär att avtalet tolkas mot den som bär ansvaret för oklarhetWhen courts fail to choose an appropriate interpretation of a contract based on subjective and objective methods of interpretation, there are general rules of interpretation or priority which can be applied to determine a satisfactory meaning of the contract. Essentially, there are two such rules available. Ac-cording to the contra proferentem rule, the contract or clause is to be inter-preted aga

Prediction of flood and evaluation of the impact of climate change in a catchment needs to be correctly estimated, which can be accomplished by hydrological modelling in HEC-HMS. In this paper, the objectives were to gain an understanding of the rainfall-runoff process and estimate the flood frequency curve in the Kävlinge River Basin. However, due to the complexity of a catchment, models should b

För att nå Sveriges transportpolitiska mål är krävs det att fler väljer cykeln som huvudsakligt färdmedel. Genom att prioritera cyklisters trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet ökar attraktiviteten vilket gör att fler väljer att cykla. I denna studie har tre korsningar i Malmö analyserats med avseende på trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet där syftet var att undersöka hur trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet In order to achieve Sweden's transport policy goals, it is required that more people choose the bicycle as their main mode of transport. By prioritizing cyclists' traffic safety and level of service, attractiveness increases, which means that more people choose to cycle. In this study, three intersections in Malmö have been analyzed with regard to traffic safety and level of service, where

Trots tydlig rättspraxis och en stark politisk vilja att säkra rätten för varje enskild eller företag som lidit skada vid brott mot EU:s konkurrensregler – i synnerhet artiklarna 101 och 102 Fördraget om Europeiska unionens funktionssätt (EUF) - att kunna söka kompensation, så har det konkurrensrättsliga skadeståndet inte fått något större genomslag. Europakommissionen (”Kommissionen”) har med andDespite the clear view of the European Commission (“the Commission”) and the European Court of Justice (“the ECJ”) that any citizen or business suffering harm following a breach of the EU competition rules - in particular Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Market (TFEU) - should be able to obtain damages from the infringing party, to this date, damages have only

ABSTRACT Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the current factors affecting fertility preference and fertility behaviour in Shanghai among the first single-child generation who are now entering into their childbearing years. In order to gain a more clear understanding of fertility preference and fertility behaviour in Shanghai the following areas were explored in an attempt to discov

This paper sets out to estimate expected lifetime of revolving credit facilities (e.g. credit card products) and is motivated by the introduction of the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9) and its requirements for loan impairments. The reporting entity is required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses for certain nancial instruments. In practice, maximum contractual period What period should credit losses be estimated over in IFRS 9? When the standard on how to account for credit losses moves to an expected loss approach, there is a need to find out how far into the future to look for losses. This is known as the expected lifetime, and I have dived into interpreting how the IFRS 9 standard can be implemented in a model for expected lifetime for credit cards and simi
