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

At the beginning of this century, the EU set itself the ambitious goal of becoming the most competitive, sustainable and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world. In this context, the concept of corporate social responsibility is gradually presenting itself as the hidden key to success.

Världshälsoorganisationen har, med hänsyn till den världsomfattande urbaniseringen och åldrandet, föreslagit att tillgängliga grönområden i städers utomhusmiljöer är en viktig aspekt för det hälsofrämjande åldrande.

I samband med att ett intrångsmål prövas är det inte ovanligt att svaranden invänder att den immaterialrätt som intrånget avser är ogiltig. Ett ogiltighetsförsvar kan vara ett effektivt sätt för den påstådda intrångsgöraren att retroaktivt beröva käranden den rättighet som ligger till grund för intrångstalan och, om talan ogillas, undvika ansvar. När det gäller immaterialrättsliga tvister som prIn the context of an infringement action, it is not uncommon for the defendant to object that the intellectual property right in question is invalid. An invalidity defence may be an effective strategy for the alleged infringer to retroactively deprive the right on which the plaintiff's infringement action is based and, if the court dismisses the action, thereby avoid liability. In the context

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a severe disease affecting the inner lining of the heart. Its diverse symptoms complicate diagnosis and the current main diagnostic tool is the Duke criteria which classifies suspected cases as definite, possible or rejected IE. A substantial portion of cases falls into the ambiguous “possible” category and there is a need for a more precise diagnostic system. This t

White dwarf stars represent the last evolutionary stage of most stars in the Universe. As many of half of these stars are known to have metals in their atmospheres, that must have entered the atmosphere recently. Some also have observable debris discs, hinting that remnant exoplanets provide an important puzzle piece. However, we do not know the full extent of their role, as it is very hard to obs

Water resource recovery facilities face challenges with increasingly stringent effluent demands, complexity and demand for capacity increasing investments. Emerging technologies such as digital twins could alleviate these problems but require high frequency influent data.
