Att aktieägare skriver aktieägaravtal är vanligt förekommande i svenska aktiebolag och då framförallt i mindre, privata bolag. I aktieägaravtalet kan man avtala om bland annat rösträttsbegränsningar och ägarförhållanden. Den allmänna uppfattningen i Sverige har sedan länge varit att aktieägaravtal endast är obligationsrättsliga mellan avtalsparterna, och därmed aldrig kan binda aktiebolaget. Ett a

Horizontal reinforcement was used in this kind of walls, partly over and under openings or, in undisturbed wall fields, every 5-6th bed joint.

Event är korta tidsintervall som skiljer längre episoder med stabila oceaniska förhållanden från varandra. När cirkulationen i världshaven tillfälligt stängs av under ett event förändras fauna- och bergartssammansättningen, och även isotopförhållandena. Målet med detta arbete har varit att utröna hur de sensiluriska brachiopoderna reagerade på det globalt kända Lau Event. På Gotland omfattar det lThe impact of the Ludfordian Lau Primo-Secundo Event on brachiopods from Gotland has been investigated. About 12 000 individuals were identified from five samples. The results are supplemented by an extensive literature study. On Gotland, the Lau Event spans the Botvide Mbr (uppermost När Fm, upper Hemse Group) and the Eke Fm.

In the beginning of the 1990’s community service was introduced at a couple of Swedish courts as an experiment. It was to be a compliment to probation and together the two were supposed to be considered the equivalent in harshness of a shorter prison sentence. After a few years the experiment was extended to all Swedish courts and by the end of the decade community service was made a permanent par

Begreppet adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change är relativt nytt in internationell miljörätt. Begreppet adaptation är inte definierat i UNFCCC. Den här uppsatsen analyserar adaptation i ljuset av begreppet reparation i internationell sedvanerätt. Uppsatsen undersöker vad begreppen adaptation och reparation har gemensamt.

Since the first issuance in 1994, Swedish Government inflation indexed bonds have given a higher return then their nominal counterpart.
