När man handlar med varor finns det såväl i Sverige som på ett internationellt plan ett tydligt regelverk för att hantera situationer när varan är behäftad med ett fel. Annorlunda är fallet vad gäller handel med immateriella rättigheter. Det finns inte någon lag i Sverige som definierar vad ett immaterialrättsligt fel är. Det finns inte heller någon lag som anger hur säljarens kontraktsbrott på grWhen buying and selling goods (tangible assets), there is an established set of rules that regulates situations of non-conformity of the goods in both Sweden and in international conventions. Regarding the commerce of intellectual property, the case is different. There is no law in Sweden defining non-conformity in an intellectual property. There is also no law regulating the seller’s responsibili

The value of whisky is examined by constructing a hedonic regression using five hedonic attributes. Also, the convenience yield associated with whisky is examined. Secondly, the performance of whisky is evaluated by using
Enskilda registerutdrag enligt 9 § lagen (1998:620) om belastningsregister har ökat markant de senaste 20 åren. Från 40 000 utdrag år 2003 till 306 000 år 2022. Registerutdragen används främst av arbetsgivare i samband med anställning men det råder delade meningar kring användandet av registerutdrag på grund av dess integritetskänsliga karaktär. Syftet med 9 § lagen (1998:620) om belastningsregistCriminal background checks, using the section 9 request (9 § lagen (1998:620) om belastningsregister), has increased tremendously the last 20 years. From 40 000 requests 2003 to 306 000 requests 2022. Criminal background checks are most often used by employers in the employment procedure but there are disagreements whether it should be used or not because of the violation of privacy. The purpose w
With the rapid growth of data automation, organizing and extracting valuable information from Portable Document Format (PDF) data, such as price quotation sheets, becomes an essential yet challenging task. This study aims to identify effective methods for organizing diverse price quotation documentation to enhance information retrieval from this type of document, using both unsupervised and superv
Digitalisation and its effect on the circular economy have been a major debate. Thus, this study investigates the possible contributions of Digital Business Models (DBMs) toward the Circular Economy (CE) by utilising circular economy core values through its multiple dimensions. Following a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants in the retail sector.
The aim of this study has been to study the process of implementing shared leadership in special housing for the elderly in the Health- and welfare administration of Lund. Therefore we have analysed the decisions and the decision-making process through discourse analysis. Carol Bacchi’s WPR analysis has provided us with a method to analyse the policy-making process and deconstruct the problem repr
This essay criticizes common theories within the three traditional perspectives, conflict management, conflict resolution and conflict transformation, for not being able to explain and/or generate solutions to the problems of fundamentalism and religious terrorism in a satisfying manner. This essay is trying to synthesize an alternative analytical framework that better can explaining these phenome
The role of environmental permits as a driver for environmental improvements has been a topic of debate for a while. Many permitting regulations were designed in the 1970's and have not been updated since then. Consequently, they have acted mostly as a driver for the adoption of pollution control technologies. Some experts now see that appropriately designed and implemented environmental permi
The overarching aim of this essay is to analyze, from a feminist point of view, the moral responsibility for the structural oppression of women. In this discussion I focus on the issue of moral responsibility for sexual violence against women, such as rapes. I claim that a feminist theory of moral responsibility has to be based on a collectivist approach. I argue that men should be considered as c

Continuous and biostratigraphically well-constrained carbon isotope (δ13Corg) profiles through the upper Miaolingian (middle Cambrian) to Tremadocian (Lower Ordovician) part of the Alum Shale Formation in four drill cores from southernmost Scandinavia are described. The sections record seven Furongian (upper Cambrian) excursions/spikes, of which three appear valuable as auxiliary markers for ident
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling may aid in planning of invasive interventions in Fontan patients. Clinical application of current CFD techniques is however limited by complexity and long computation times. Therefore, we validated a "lean" CFD method to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and an "established" CFD method, ultimately aiming to reduce complexity to enable predictive CFD durin
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2) is a dual-hemisphere, near-infrared (NIR), spectroscopic survey with the goal of producing a chemodynamical mapping of the Milky Way. The targeting for APOGEE-2 is complex and has evolved with time. In this paper, we present the updates and additions to the initial targeting strategy for APOGEE-2N presented in Zasowski et al.
Introduction: Standardized and validated criteria to define advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) or identify patient eligibility for device-aided therapy are needed. This study assessed the psychometric properties of clinical indicators of advanced PD and eligibility for device-aided therapy in a large population. Methods: This retrospective analysis of the Adelphi Parkinson’s Disease Specific Progra
Quantiferon-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) is an interferon gamma release assay used to diagnose latent tuberculosis (LTB). A borderline range (0.20 to 0.99 IU/ml) around the cutoff (0.35 IU/ml) has been suggested for the earlier QFT version. Our aims were to evaluate the borderline range for QFT-Plus and the contribution of the new TB2 antigen tube. QFT-Plus results were collected from clinical laborato
