Bakgrund: God balans kräver ett samarbete mellan flera av kroppens olika sinnen och strategier. En nedsättning i något av dessa sinnen eller en oförmåga att använda dessa strategier ökar risken för fallolyckor, som leder till stort personligt lidande för individen och stora kostnader för samhället. Fallpreventivt arbete krävs för att förhindra fallolyckor. För att detta ska förbättras behövs en ök
This thesis discusses the recent hot topic in the intersection of IP law and competition law; “pay-for-delay” agreements in the pharmaceutical industry. Such agreements arise in patent disputes where originator manufacturers (‘Originators’) claim patent infringement by the generic manufactures (‘Generics’). However, patent infringing defendants end up paying the plaintiff large sums of money, acco
2011 beslutade regeringen att lägga ner myndigheten Fortifikationsverket.

Men efter tre år så gör regeringen en helomvändning. De beslutar nu att myndigheten ska finnas kvar eftersom en nedläggning inte leder

As legislators in recent years have adopted regulations demanding companies to disclose information on their supply chains, a new chapter of corporate transparency has been opened.

In this thesis the most topical of the recently adopted supply chain transparency and due diligence regulations, are

“The buck stops here”. Så stod det skrivet på det lilla plakatet på president Trumans skrivbord. Detta budskap, lika allmängiltigt idag som 1953, borde verka som en påminnelse om värdet av ansvar och möjligheten till utkrävande av detsamma från alla instutioner och personer med inflytande över människors liv och välmående. Privata militära aktörer är idag aktiva över hela världen och är involverad“The buck stops here”, as was the wording on the famous sign on President Truman’s desk, should remind us today - as it reminded all Americans of the virtues of accountability and responsibility in 1953 - that any office or person that holds influence over the lives of others needs to be able to be held accountable for their actions. Today, Private Military Companies - or PMCs for short - are depl

Mot bakgrund av de globala klimatambitionerna har den folkrättsliga traktaten Energistadgefördraget (ECT) kommit att ifrågasättas med ökande intensitet. I synnerhet anses Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mekanismen i artikel 26 ECT inskränka staters rätt att lagstifta och därigenom bromsa utfasningen av fossila energislag (regulatory chill). En ISDS-mekanism är vanligt förekommande i gränAgainst the backdrop of global climate ambitions, the international treaty known as the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) has come under increasing scrutiny. In particular, the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanism in Article 26 ECT is seen as restricting states' right to legislate and thereby slow-ing down the phasing out of fossil fuels (regulatory chill). ISDS is a common mechanism
The decision by the European Union to enforce the Temporary Protection Directive to respond to the inflow of Ukrainian displaced people in member states has resulted in a peculiar governance system that sets Ukrainian displaced people as an exceptional category of vulnerable migrants. Their stay is temporary, but as it is impossible to predict a date for Ukraine to be deemed a safe country again,
Direct or indirect exchange of commercially sensitive information between competitors is prohibited by Article 101(1) TFEU. Such disclosures enable undertakings to collude, that is, to trade practical cooperation for the risks of competition. Collusion is detrimental for consumer welfare as it allows the colluding parties to raise prices, reduce output and to share markets and customers. Due to th
There is a longstanding debate between environmentalists and economists regarding the possibility to combine economic growth and sustainability. So far, the neoliberal economists’ argumentation for a capitalist economic system with everlasting economic growth has been the dominating paradigm. In Sweden, one group of environmentalists able to influence policymaking without being actual decision-mak
Using music as a tool for teaching a foreign language has been shown to positively affect the language learning process (Balčytytė-Kurtinienė, 2018; Cañete García et al., 2022; Heidari- Shahreza & Moinzadeh, 2012), and this essay suggests that authentic English songs can be used in the teaching of EFL in lower-secondary school in Sweden to efficiently meet many aspects of the syllabus. Therefo
This thesis examines the challenges that women human rights defenders (WHRDs) in Bangladesh are experiencing in a period of shrinking civic space. It further focuses on how perceptions guide their chosen strategies. Applying political opportunity theory, drawing from social movements research, it explores the structural changes in the political system and how it impacts civil society action. Thus,
Recurring natural and man-made disasters are resulting in an increasing number of displaced people who need to be provided with urgent accommodation. Due to insufficient legal regulations and effective construction methods, refugees are often located in conditions defined as ‘temporary’, offering low quality of living conditions, degrading social environment and destructive impact on the city land
Food and the feminine self have always had a profoundly complex relationship. It has been the site of gender oppression, corporeal discipline and more recently, self-pleasure and creativity for women. It is clear that material world foodwork has provided women with a resource to navigate gender ideals, whether from a more traditional or contemporary perspective; this idea extends to foodwork in th
With an increase in temperature (T) and a change in precipitation (P) patterns due to climate change, global conditions for tree growth are changing and shifting. While some areas experience an increase in P, favoring tree growth, many regions are also predicted to show a decrease in P, leading to trends of desertification. This study examines the projected climate change in Nigeria, located in Su
