In line with current tendencies of 'new modes of governance', this essay introduces judicial tools which strike a balance between the respect for national autonomy in individual assessments and the effective implementation of Community law. The balance is struck through the demands of structural guarantees&semic administrative safeguards, which weeds out arbitrary national decision-mak
Bestämmelser för att hindra skatteflykt finns både i svensk nationell rätt och i EG-rätten. EG-rätten är överordnad nationell rätt och medlemsstaterna är därför skyldiga att beakta EG-rätten vid utformning och tillämpning av lagar. I den här uppsatsen kommer jag att utreda och behandla vilka bestämmelser och metoder som finns i svensk rätt och i EG-rätten för att angripa skatteflykt. Jag kommer äv
Förslaget till direktiv om tjänster på den inre marknaden är en del i den Europeiska Unionens strävan att göra EU till världens mest konkurrenskraftiga och dynamiska kunskapsekonomi omkring 2010. Förslaget lades fram den 13 januari 2004 under det nederländska ordförandeskapet. Förslaget skall förtydliga och fullfölja EG-domstolens praxis på området. Direktivet skall genomföras på ett dynamiskt sät
This essay presents the most important legal regulations for protection of shareholders rights. The following work will concentrate on two legal systems, namely Swedish and Polish. The goal is to compare legal regulations concerning the protection of minority shareholders and finding the relevant similarities and, even more importantly, the differences characteristically for each country. The cont
It has been over 25 years since the AIDS epidemic was first recognised. HIV/AIDS has claimed more lives in South Africa than in any other country in the world. The pandemic has devastating impacts on society. Children infected or affected by the virus are hit particularly hard and the AIDS pandemic negatively affects children and their human rights in numerous ways: physically, emotionally and eco
Our objective is to describe and analyze the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and CSR dynamics in developing countries like Pakistan, with a focus on the role of Multinational Companies (MNC’s). We aim to provide an illustration for CSR initiatives taken by a multinational firm Nestle, in Pakistan, to understand the perceptions of the stakeholders concerning CSR and see how CSR can
Retaining β-mannanases are glycoside hydrolases (GHs) that can potentially be applied for synthesis of glycosides by catalysis of transglycosylation reactions. A novel active-site double mutant (R171K/E205D) of the catalytic module (CM) of the family GH5 Trichoderma reesei β-mannanase (TrMan5A) was expressed in Pichia pastoris and purified. TrMan5A, CM and CM-variants R171K and R171K/E205D had pH
NTRU is a lattice-based public-key cryptosystem that has been selected as one of the Round III finalists at the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization. Compressing the key sizes to increase efficiency has been a long-standing open question for lattice-based cryptosystems. In this paper we provide a solution to three seemingly opposite demands for NTRU cryptosystem: compress the key size, i
Objective Deconvolution is an ill-posed inverse problem that tends to yield non-physiological residue functions R(t) indynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI). In this study, the use of Bézier curves is proposedfor obtaining physiologically reasonable residue functions in perfusion MRI.Materials and methods Cubic Bézier curves were employed, ensuring R(0)=1, bounded-in
Microfluidics has emerged as an essential approach in the development of novel technological platforms to detect and isolate rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood of cancer patients. Micro-scaled fluidic systems offer means to precisely control fluid flow. This enables cell separation when combined with techniques for manipulating cells across fluid streams. Various microfluidic methods
Mangroves, as unique coastal wetlands with numerous benefits, are endangered mainly due to the coupled effects of anthropogenic activities and climate change. Therefore, acquiring reliable and up-to-date information about these ecosystems is vital for their conservation and sustainable blue carbon development. In this regard, the joint use of remote sensing data and machine learning algorithms can
BACKGROUND: Women living in the Bolivian Andes are environmentally exposed to arsenic, yet there is scarce information about arsenic-related effects in this region. Several biomarkers for telomere length and oxidative stress (mitochondrial DNA copy number, mtDNAcn; 8-Oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine, 8-oxo-dG; and 4-hydroxy nonenal mercapturic acid, 4-HNE-MA) have been previously linked to arsenic, and some
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is rapidly emerging as a promising clinical diagnostic tool. One of the main applications of PA imaging is to image vascular networks in humans. This relies on the signal obtained from oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin, which limits imaging of the vessel wall itself. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a treatable, but potentially sight- and life-threatening disease, in w
In this article, we construct and analyse an explicit numerical splitting method for a class of semi-linear stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with additive noise, where the drift is allowed to grow polynomially and satisfies a global one-sided Lipschitz condition. The method is proved to be mean-square convergent of order 1 and to preserve important structural properties of the SDE. First,
Is it possible to enjoy both economic growth and environmental sustainability? This question is a matter of fierce political debate between green growth and post-growth advocates. Over the past decade, green growth clearly dominated policy making with policy agendas at the United Nations, European Union, and in numerous countries building on the assumption that decoupling environmental pressures f
The most important moment in product development is when demands and specifications are decided for the product that is being planned. The specification defines the goal for the product development process. It is a very important steering opportunity for the continuing work and for environmentally driven demands that are to be addressed in the product development phase. The designers are said to h
