The role and activities of the European Court of Justice (EJC) have been discussed for couple of decades now. Without any doubt the role that ECJ fulfils today in the European Community is not what it was in the beginning of its existence and perhaps not even what was strictly prescribed by the EC Treaty. In the present thesis will be firstly examined, how the present role of the ECJ, as a quasi-c
Parallel trade in goods is generally viewed as a positive phenomenon within the EU as a consequence of the principle free movement of goods: When traders buy goods in one part of the common market at a low price and transfer it to a higher priced area, allowing them to undercut those prices, then this will enhance competition, drive down prices and give consumers more choice- an overall positive e
Sealings are an important part in the industrial robot. One important property of the seal is to keep all particles and fluids from the outside, away from the important components inside the robot. Another important property is to keep the oil and grease inside the robot, and prevent leakage. The seal also prevent leakage inside the industrial robot and reduces the risks of sensitive components to
The aim of this project is to explore and understand the combustion phenomenon in engines operating on gaseous fuels, and develop technologies as an alternative to the present diesel engine technologies for heavy duty applications; which are facing severe challenges like stringent emissions norms, high technology costs and unsustainable fuel supply. The studies presented in this thesis focus on th
This dissertation deals with the conflict between the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC) - the worldwide Reformed movement - and the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa (DRC) regarding the latter's support for and theological legitimizing of apartheid. One of the strongest measures possible was taken when the issue in 1982 was declared a Status Confessionis and the Dutch Reformed Church
Introduction: To remain competitive, industrial organisations are continually faced with the challenges to improve product quality, reduce product development time, reduce production costs and lead-times. Increasingly, these challenges cannot be effectively met by isolated changes to specific organizational units. The Supply Chainis a revolutionary concept embedded in a traditional guise. In b
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Under året 2001 kom forskare i hela världen överens om att globala klimatförändringar existerar och att människliga aktiviteter har påverkat dem, framförallt genom utsläpp av koldioxid (CO2). Kyoto Protokollet är en global överenskommelse som kräver en minskning av CO2 utsläpp (med 1990 som basår) och fem andra växthusgaser med 5% fram till 2012. Ett sätt som näIn 2001, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change approved human impact (mainly through the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2)) on global warming. The Kyoto Protocol is a global contract that proposes the reduction of CO2 and five other greenhouse gases by 2012 to at least 5% below the level of 1990. One reduction strategy included in the Protocol is the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). It su
Managua has experienced two devastating earthquakes during the last century resulting in major human loss. The destruction in the earthquake of 1972 was particularly severe in defined areas of the city, including the former city centre, which is now unused terrain. This may have been because of amplification in those areas due to impedance contrasts and resonance effects in the surface layers. Th
Within the common market, built upon the notion of free movement of goods and undistorted competition, Member States are prohibited to put restrictions on the free market or distort competition if no justifiable reasons under Community Law are presented. Thus, state monopolies of a commercial character are per se controversial within the Common market. However it is clear from the existence of Art
In May 2009, a new Swedish legislation made it possible for a new tenure to enter the housing market – condominiums. Since the law took effect, only a few condominiums have been built, mainly by minor construction- and property companies. This thesis aims to investigate under what circums- tances it’s favorably to build condominiums and also to identify what ob- stacles and opportunities that c
Sedan implementeringen av Infosoc-direktivet måste Sverige, genom att enskilda tillåts att kopiera för privat bruk, säkerställa att en rimlig kompensation utges till upphovsmän och närstående rättsinnehavare. Hur denna kompensation ska upptas, utges eller fördelas har lämnats till respektive medlemsstat och enbart generella regler framhålls i direktivet och dess praxis.

However the directive does not contain specific rules regarding in which way the compensation shall be collected, brought out or divided; only general guidelines are given in the directive and in case
Optical measurement techniques have proven to be useful tools for studying combustion-related phenomenon. The fact that the techniques are optical facilitates performing the measurements without impinging upon the measurement object, such as the combustion event that can be involved. Such techniques can be species-specific and be performed in situ, i.e. in the setting in which the phenomena in que
In pre-clinical imaging, tumor response to radionuclide therapy can be monitored with PET imaging. Radionuclides used for therapy such as 177Lu emit a significant amount of low energy photons. These photons may have an energy high enough to penetrate the imaged object and are the prone to be detected. Although these phtons are likely to be rejected electronically, they add dead-time to the system
Barns internetanvändning äger i stor utsträckning rum i en kommersiell miljö där reklam och försäljning av virtuella föremål är ständigt närvarande. Genom att kombinera publikforskning, produktionsforskning samt textanalys (observationer online och dokumentanalys) bidrar denna avhandling till en kritisk förståelse av internet som en plats för barns vardagliga aktiviteter och deltagande, och som enChildren’s daily internet usage takes place to a large extent in a commercial environment, where advertising and the sale of virtual goods are ever-present parts of the online experience. The overall goal of this thesis is to contribute to a critical understanding of children’s commercial online environment as spaces for children’s everyday life activities and participation, and as spaces for comm
Background: Few data have looked at the occurrence and clinical correlates of self-reported shorter than desired ejaculation latency (rapid ejaculation, RE) and its related distress in the general population. Aim: To determine the prevalence and clinical correlates of self-reported RE and RE- related distress in middle age and older European men. Methods: Subjects were recruited from population sa
Core–shell nanowires offer great potential to enhance the efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and expand the attainable wavelength range of LEDs over the whole visible spectrum. Additionally, nanowire (NW) LEDs can offer both improved light extraction and emission enhancement if the diameter of the wires is not larger than half the emission wavelength (λ/2). However, AlGaInP nanowire LEDs h
Bland vilda djur finns närmast ett oräkneligt antal patogener. Dessa kan i vissa fall ge utbrott av zoonotiska sjukdomar vilket har hänt vid upprepade tillfällen under mänsklighetens historia. Men varför kan endast vissa av de patogener som normalt finns hos vilda djur infektera människor? Fågelinfluensa och West-Nile virus kan överföras från fåglar till människor medan rabies kan överföras från hParasites live on or inside their hosts and usually cause fitness loss, sometimes even lead to outbreaks of emerging infectious disease. Understanding how a parasite can infect its hosts (i.e., host specificity of the parasite) is important to both basic studies on disease evolution and the whole ecosystem health.In this thesis, I use avian haemosporidians, a group of species-rich protozoans as a
NOx pollution from diesel engines has been stated as causing over 10 000 pre-mature deaths annually and predictions are showing that this level will increase [1]. In order to decrease this growing global problem, exhaust after-treatment systems for diesel engines have to be improved, this is especially so for vehicles carrying freight as their use of diesel engines is expected to carry on into the
The stigmatizing attitude towards people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) can be a major barrier to effective patient care. As future physicians, medical students represent a core group that should be targeted with focused knowledge and adequate training to provide patient care without prejudice. The aim of the current study was to examine HIV/AIDS knowledge, and the stigmatizing attitude towards PLWH
