Stater ingår skatteavtal huvudsakligen i syfte att undanröja internationell juridisk dubbelbeskattning, som anses uppställa ett hinder för utvecklingen av mellanstatliga ekonomiska förbindelser. I skatteavtal förpliktigar sig stater att begränsa sina skatteanspråk till förmån för den andra statens beskattningsrätt. Avtalens begränsande effekt i kombination med skillnader i staters interna skattesyThe main reason for states to enter into tax treaties is to prevent international juridical double taxation, which is considered to have harmful effects on cross-border economic relations. In tax treaties, states oblige themselves through international law not to raise taxes with respect to taxing rights given to the other state under the treaty. A well-known problem is that taxpayers can exploit

With the book The Theory of the Growth of the Firm, published in 1959, takes the researcher Edith Penrose the first step towards what will later be known as the resource based view. Many scholars have since taken up where Penrose left and has further developed the approach to something that can now be described as almost a philosophy. Today is the resource based view synonymous with an internal fo

Responsibility to protect är en princip som presenterades kring millennieskiftet av den internationella kommissionen för interventioner och statssuveränitet. Kommissionen skapades i syfte att utveckla ett sätt att skydda medborgare som utsattes för grova och systematiska brott och då värdstaten inte ville eller kunde stoppa dessa. Utgångspunkten för R2P är att det primära ansvaret ligger på värdstResponsibility to protect is a principle developed in order to try to protect citizens from atrocious and systematic crimes when a host state does not want to or does not have the possibility to do so themselves, and was first mentioned by the International Commission for Intervention and State Sovereignty in 2001. R2P is based on the idea that each individual state has a responsibility to protect

Altering the fate of newborn cells in the hippocampus after status epilepticus Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder that is estimated to affect approximately 50 million people around the world according to the World Health Organization. This disorder is characterized by an increase in the predisposition to generate seizures, which are periods of hyperexcitable neuronal signaling. The treatm

Uppsatsen behandlar det adopterade barnets ställning inom adoptionsinstitutet genom dess förändring över tid. Adoptionsinstitutet har förändrats i takt med samhällsutvecklingen och lagstiftaren har tidvis försökt lösa samhällsproblem med hjälp av lagstiftningen. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur barnets ställning har förändrats tillsammans med adoptionslagstiftningen. Adoption som ett institThis thesis examines an adopted child’s status within the adoption institute through time.

Skyddet för den personliga integriteten har ställts inför nya utmaningar sedan internets och sociala mediers framväxt. I samband med teknikutvecklingens framväxt har en ny problematik uppmärksammats, nämligen så kallade deepfakes. Nätfenomenet deepfakes är relativt nytt och innebär att still- eller rörlig bild manipulerats med hjälp av artificiell intelligens, bland annat genom att en persons ansiThe protection of personal integrity has faced new challenges since the rise of social media. Particularly in the dissemination of privacy infringement, which is largely facilitated by today’s technology. A new problem has arisen in connection with the development of technology, so-called deepfakes. The online phenomenon of deepfakes is relatively new and implies a still or moving image that has b

Fjärrvärme har en betydande roll i det svenska energisystemet där många är beroende av att systemet ska fungera optimalt. Trots den generellt höga leveranssäkerheten i dagens system är oplanerade leveransavbrott är något som sker tidvis. I Sverige började många fjärrvärmenät byggas ut i mitten av 1900-talet och mängden skador i äldre ledningar förväntas öka med tiden. Att ersätta gamla ledningar iDistrict heating plays a significant role in the Swedish energysystem where many are dependent on the district heating working optimally. The system in general has a high security of supply, but unplanned interuptions in the supply do ocasionally occur. Many of the district heating networks in Sweden began construction in the middle of the last century and some of the old pipes are expected to see

The number of situations where both people and nature are harmed by human activities are increasing in the same pace as mankind is augmenting its control and so called 'development' of the Earth. Although previously much debated, we have passed the stage when protecting human rights and preserving the environment were seen as conflicting interests. Instead we have reached the conclusion th

Domestic violence is one of the biggest human rights violations that affect women all over the world regardless of their color, nationality, or age. This problem has reached such a degree that women appear to be more at risk of facing violence inside of the home by a husband or partner, than outside by strangers. However, the traditional view that the State cannot be held responsible for acts of v

Eftersom stater i hög grad har misslyckats med att ta den globala uppvärmningen seriöst, har istället privata individer och miljöorganisationer konfronterat dem som bidrar till den. Genom att föra de som släpper ut växthusgaser inför rätta hoppas kärandena kunna stoppa den nuvarande kursen mot förödande klimatförändring. Klimattvister kan rikta sig mot både regeringar och företag, men i just tvistWhere states have failed to take the threat of global warming seriously, private individuals and environmental organizations have confronted those contributing to it. By bringing the emitters to court, litigants all over the world hope to put an end to the current trajectory towards dangerous climate change. Within the field of climate litigation, both governments and corporations are targeted. Th

Upphovsmannabegreppet och skyddsramen för verk som genereras av artificiell intelligens (AI) har under de senaste åren varit ett omdebatterat ämne inom den juri-diska sfären.

Since the 1950's, mass tourism has become a considerable part of modern western culture. Examining where, why and how people have traveled can tell us a lot about people's habits and cultural frames of reference. Yet, the area of tourism history is fairly uncharted, with travelogs being one of the more prevalent objects of interest for academic research. Research focused on travel guides a
