The new-economy encompasses a variety of industries, particularly pharmaceuticals and online-based companies. These may hold strong market positions, or be strong future competitors, despite having low turnover. Where foreclosure techniques to curtail competition are employed, the concentration may result in a long-lasting anti-competitive impact on the market. However, due to low or insufficient
Försäkringsavtal ingås mellan försäkringsbolag och försäkringstagare. Tecknas försäkringen till förmån för försäkringstagaren och denne uppfyller sin huvudförpliktelse, betalning av försäkringspremien, är denne ersättnings¬¬berättigad vid ett försäkringsfall. Därtill innehåller FAL tvingande regler, som ålägger försäkringstagaren och andra försäkrade, så kallade bi-förpliktelser. Skyldigheten att Insurance contracts are agreed upon between insurance companies and policy holders. If the insurance is taken out in favor of the policy holder, who fulfils its main obligation to pay the insurance fee, the holder is entitled to insurance compensation. In addition to this, the Swedish Insurance Contracts Act (FAL 2005:104), contains mandatory rules about “secondary obligations”, imposed on the pol
Rostfritt duplexstål är ett konstruktionsmaterial som skulle kunna tänkas vara konkurrenskraftigt i förhållande till konventionella material inom brobyggnad med tanke på dess höga hållfasthet, marginella underhållsbehov och möjlighet till återvinning. Hittills har det dock inte använts i någon större utsträckning inom brobyggnad framför allt på grund av dess högre kostnad i förhållande till traditDuplex stainless steel is a construction material that could possibly prove competitive in relation to conventional materials in bridge design, given its high strength, marginal maintenance needs and the possibility of recycling. To date, however, it has not been used to any great extent in bridge constructions, mainly because of its higher cost in relation to traditional carbon steel. In this stu
Pupils have gotten school meals in Sweden since the late 1800´s. The school meal has of course changed over the years. In the beginning the pupils only got porridge and milk. Since then they serve both meat-, fish- and chicken dishes. In recent years, many schools around the country are more concerned about the environment and therefore started to serve more plant-based diets and less red meat. Re
Sveriges regering satte 2011 upp mål om att bli bäst på att utnyttja digitaliseringens möjligheter. Digitaliseringen av bygglovsprocessen har trots det gått långsamt. Bygglovsprocessen idag (2018) är en långsam, dyr och ineffektiv process. Möjligheten att söka bygglov med e-legitimation finns endast hos 30 procent av kommunerna och 60 procent har någon slags e-tjänst ansökan. Ansökningarna innebär
Assisterad befruktning utanför kroppen är en behandlingsmetod som samhället kan erbjuda ofrivilligt barnlösa par. Behandlingen sker antingen genom provrörsbefruktning (IVF) eller genom spermieinjektion (ICSI). Frågor kring fastställande och hävande av faderskap vid assisterad befruktning regleras av föräldrabalken. Enligt huvudregeln i 1 kap. 8 § FB ska en kvinnas make eller sambo som har samtycktAssisted reproductive technology for treatment of infertility, is a treatment that society can provide for couples, who suffer from involuntary childlessness. The treatment is performed either by in virto fertilization (IVF) or by sperm injection (ICSI). The Children and Parents Code regulates the establishment and annulation of paternity due to assisted reproductive treatment. According to the ma
Three-dimensional food printing is an emerging application within the realm of 3D printing with the potential of transforming the foods we consume. The technique harbors incredible potential for improving the eating experience of people suffering from dysphagia, an ailment which causes discomfort at the time of swallowing. Patients suffering from this condition have special diets consisting of tex
How audiences engage with news has not always gotten a lot of attention in academic and industry research; and, even then, it is often studied in terms of exposure and interaction. This does not fully capture the dynamism and multidimensionality of this phenomenon; and industry attempts to apply market principles to engagement risks depoliticizing and reducing it to economic values. Rather than po
Issue: Does a statistical relationship between OMXS30 and S&P500 plus OMXS30 and DAX30 exist after extreme returns? Is it possible to explain the relationship between OMXS30 and S&P500 plus S&P500 and DAX30 with the chosen economic theories? Purpose: The purpose is to examine the effects on OMXS30 during 6 days after extreme returns on S&P500 or DAX30 are present. These effects wi
This thesis has its focus on the interaction between competition law and the public procurement regime. Since the two systems have the same objective of the creation of an internal market it is vital that the two systems reach coherence. Despite this there is now express provision on the importance to fight anti competitive behaviour in the Public Sector Directive 2004/18/EC. On March 28th 2014 th
Background Supply chains in low margin, high innovation speed industries with strong customers generate a highly competitive environment. The conditions for such environment are continuously changing and put high demands on its actors. FlatFrog is a case company, which was founded in 2007 and develops a unique touch technology targeting a wide range of screens sizes and applications. External capi
Sociala hänsynstaganden, som exempelvis spelberoende, minderårigas spelande samt förebyggandet av brottslighet och bedrägeri, har traditionellt motiverat Medlemsstaternas nästintill ovillkorliga rätt att reglera spel på nationell nivå. När spel på Internet introducerades valde EU-domstolen att applicera samma argument och fortsätta bekräfta denna rätt. Internetspel har dock förändrat den traditionConcerns of public interest, such as the prevention of problem gambling, underage gambling and evading the risks of crime and fraud, have in the jurisprudence of the CJEU traditionally been used to justify a wide discretionary right for the Member States to regulate gambling. When online gambling was introduced, the CJEU decided to apply the same arguments and continue to affirm the strong rights

In recent years the railway has received a lot of negative publicity thanks to the large amount of delay hours that occurs during winter conditions and especially at snowfall. In our railway network, the points are the most targeted problem components were snow and ice cause the most problems. Due to its moving parts and low tolerances for disorder, a few millimeters of gap between the rails is en
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: De begravda jordmånsbildningarna vid Sandhammaren och Skanörs ljung, södra Sverige, är lokaliserade inom kustnära dynlandskap som har bildas i response till land-och havsnivåförändringar efter den sista istiden (efter ca. 10 000 år sedan). Jordmånerna är begravda av flygsand och karakteriseras av flera organiska lager med tillhörande urlaknings-och anrikningshorThe palaeosoils at Sandhammaren and Skanörs ljung, southern Sweden, are located within a coastal dune landscape that developed in response to Holocene land/sea changes. These buried soils are characterised by several organic layers including pedological horizons. They were studied for fossil pollen, and soil chemistry (iron, aluminium, manganese, phosphorous, carbon and pH) in order to appreciate
Regler om budplikt infördes i NBK:s rekommendationer 1999. Efter en komplettering av takeover-direktivet blev det lag i LUA 2005. Företeelsen med budplikt på den svenska aktiemarknaden är således relativ ny, varför dess tillämpning och effekt är intressant att utreda. Budpliktsreglerna härstammar från Takeover Code i Storbritannien som uppstod efter att aktiemarknaden, under 1960-1970-talet, blev Mandatory bid rules were introduced in NBK´s recommendation in 1999, and then statutory in LUA in 2005, after an implementation of the takeoverdirective. The phenomenon with mandatory bid rules is therefore relatively new on the Swedish stock market why its application and impact is interesting to evaluate. Mandatory bid rules derives from the Takeover Code, from the UK, that emerged when the stoc
Stakeholders are voicing concerns over the social and environmental impacts of components of Europe’s renewable energy strategy that will significantly increase the region’s demand for forest biomass. Energy companies must address these concerns if they are to manage financial, reputational, regulatory and competitive risks. Sustainability schemes may help reduce such risks by increasing the socia
This project is a study that has described what condition based maintenance is and has examined the possibilities with condition based maintenance on the new A26 submarine. It finishes with a detailed case study of how a condition based maintenance system could look like on the submarine’s diesel engines. Questions that have been answered are; what is condition based maintenance and how does it wo

Background: The ability to quickly provide parts for the supply of advanced technical systems in equipment-intensive industries (such as airlines and nuclear power plants) is critical to the systems overall performance. In order to maintain a targeted system availability large quantities of spare parts are often required which in turn results in excessive inventory costs. Seeing as inventory syste
