By drawing upon a model of self-reinforcing behaviour, and examining the effects of self-organisation, path dependence, and discontinuous change, the

The empirical results have been mixed, with earlier studies indicating a strong relationship and more recent studies that

The aim of this study was to investigate the electrophysiological co

Denna uppsats har via en rättsdogmatisk metod undersökt gällande rätt avseende nödvärn och nödvärnsexcess vid överfall. Den faktiska rättstillämpningen i underrätterna har inte berörts. Rätten till försvarsvåld gentemot brottsliga angrepp tillkommer dels den angripne, dels envar som befinner sig på platsen för angreppet. Denna rätt regleras i nödvärnsstadgandet i 24 kap. 1 § BrB.

The actual application of the laws in this field is not analyzed. The right of defence against violent criminal attacks is granted to the person being attacked, as well as anyone else nearby. This right is prescribed by 24 chapter 1 § Brottsbalken (the Swedish criminal code)

Nanoteknik är ‘big business’. Stora summor pengar står på spel då detta innovativa teknikområde expanderar i snabb takt. Denna undersökning utgår från antagandet att ekonomiska intressen snarare än demokratiska värden och hållbar utveckling styr utvecklingen av nanoteknik i Sverige idag. Detta ses som problematiskt, och det övergripande målet är att föreslå alternativa principer för att styra utveNanotechnology is big business. With rapid innovation and expansion of the field, financial stakes are high. This study is based on the assumption that the development of nanotechnology in Sweden today is controlled by economic interests rather than democratic values and sustainable development. This is considered problematic, and the overall aim with this study is to propose alternative principle

Rättsprincipen obehörig vinst, eller vinstregeln som den också kallas, har jämfört med andra europeiska rättsordningar haft en marginell betydelse i Sverige. Även om principen under en lång period varit föremål för skarp kritik från rättevetenskapligt håll, så har den på senare tid fått förnyad aktualitet då den dykt upp i flertalet rättsfall. I uppsatsen görs därför en översyn av svensk lagstiftnUnjust enrichment has, compared to other European legal systems, played a marginal role in Sweden. The principle of unjust enrichment has for a long time been the subject of pungent criticism in the Swedish jurisprudence. However, its recent comeback in Swedish case law has given the principle renewed importance. This paper examines and analyses Swedish legislation, case law and doctrine in order

The future of EU lies in the SEE or to rephrase, the future of the SEE lies in the EU. This is considered to be the case as the SEE countries that are not yet EU-members have been promised future membership and are therefore considered the next potential EU members. As this scenario lies in the future of an EU expansion an interest of what lies in the past of these two regions rises. This interest
