I September 2009 öppnade den nya konventionen om godsbefordran till sjöss för signering i Rotterdam. Om den nya konventionen lyckas i det den har intention att göra, vilket är att harmonisera reglerna om godsbefordran till sjöss, kommer den nästan hundra år gammal regimen Haag reglerna att försvinna. Dessa konventioner reglerar tillsammans med Haag-Visby och Hamburg reglerna ansvaret för skada på In September 2009, the new convention concerning carriage of goods by sea opened for signing in Rotterdam. If the convention succeeds in what it sets out to do, harmonising the carriage of goods by sea regulations throughout the world, the almost a century old regime of the Hague Rules will be discarded. These conventions, together with the Hague-Visby Rules and the Hamburg Rules, regulate the lia

Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vilka möjligheter det finns att ingå ett avtal trots parts passivitet. Begreppet passivitet används i betydelsen underlåtenhet att agera när part, under en process till synes syftande till att avtal ska ingås, normalt kan förväntas agera genom en positiv viljeförklaring, ett nekande eller ett förtydligande. Innan passivitetsfrågan behandlas närmare presenteras den The purpose of this essay is to investigate the possibilities of entering into a binding agreement despite the passivity of one of the parties. The term passivity is used to denote the lack of action when a party, during a process with the apparent aim of entering into an agreement, typically can be expected to act through a declaration of intent, a refusal or a clarification.

Sammanfattning Inom koncerner kan det vara en betydande fördel att kunna resultatutjämna mellan bolagen. Olika länder har olika regelsystem för att möjliggöra resultatutjämning. Utöver de nationella lagstiftningarna måste varje medlemsland inom unionen ta hänsyn till EU-rätten. EU-domstolen kommer löpande med nya avgöranden där medlemsstaternas lagar anses vara förenliga eller oförenliga med EU-räSummary Within groups of companies there might be a considerable advantage if there is a possibility to neutralize the result between the companies. Different countries have, to make neutralization of the results possible, various legislation. In addition to the national legislations, every member of the Union has to take EU-Law into consideration. The Court of Justice of the European Union is cur

This thesis is about Swedish integration policy. The thesis suggests that integration policy inexorably leads to the question of who is to be integrated into what and in that way it holds an immanent categorizing practice. The theoretical points of departure in this thesis proposes that Swedish integration policy, through this categorizing practice, has a productive function as it articulates a di

Genom alla tider har migration varit ett frekvent inslag i människans utveckling. Idag har globaliseringen och de teknologiska framstegen möjliggjort ett än större flöde av människor världen över. De flesta länderna i den industrialiserade världen har en svag och i vissa fall till och med en negativ befolkningstillväxt samtidigt som många av u-länderna kämpar med en stark befolkningstillväxt. Dett

Idag vet man genom flertalet forskningsrapporter och studier att barn som bevittnar våld i nära relationer kan ta lika stor skada som barn som direkt utsätts för misshandel, och att omfattningen av barns våldsexponering i hemmet är stor. Det har i förarbeten uttryckts att dessa barn kan anses vara föremål för en form av psykisk misshandel. Att låta barn bevittna våld är emellertid inte en kriminalWe know from a majority of research studies that children who witness domestic violence can take as much damage as children directly exposed to assault offenses, and that the extent of children's exposure of violence at home are of great proportions. It has been expressed in Swedish legislation that these children can be subject to psychological abuse. Allowing children to witness violence is

The aim of this thesis is to study Swedish archaeological finds of aurochs (Bos primigenius) in order to complement the existing knowledge about the aurochs that is based on the sub fossil material. This thesis presents all the finds of aurochs that has been made in archaeological context in Sweden, in order to see if the humans had different hunting strategies in different geographic locations.

This report covers a survey of the natural occurence of the heavy metal cadmium (Cd) in soil and bedrock in Skåne, Sweden and Europe. The main focus is on the cadmium concentrations in samples of sphalerite (ZnS) collected in quarries in Skåne during the study, and in samples of sphalerite from the rest of Sweden and locations in Spain and USA depostited by the Department of Geology, Lund Universi

This report outlines a method to price and hedge a generalized swing option based on the European natural gas and electricity markets. The method is model free in that is does not assume a certain spot price dynamics. It only requires a forward curve and European call options prices that cover the delivery period of the swing option. The results is a lower bound derived from the price of forwards

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under livets gång utsätts vi för en mängd exponeringar som påverkar vår hälsa. I denna avhandling har vi försökt förstå hur olika exponeringar påverkar risken för celiaki (glutenintolerans) hos barn. Vi har utnyttjat information i nationella register och använt epidemiologiska metoder. Med ett socialepidemiologiskt tankesätt lyfter vi blicken från individen till att äveCeliac disease is a chronic gastrointestinal disease affecting approximately 1% of the population. It is precipitated in genetically predisposed individuals by ingestion of food containing gluten or similar proteins that are present in wheat, rye and barley. The disease might present with symtoms such as malnutrition, diarrhea or abdominal bloating, but a large proportion of those afflicted by the

Sverige och Danmark anses i komparativa sammanhang tillhöra samma rättsfamilj. I arbetsrättsligt avseende skiljer sig Danmark från övriga nordiska länder på så sätt att man undvikit lagstiftning i mesta möjliga mån och t.o.m. överlåtit implementering av vissa EU-direktiv åt arbetsmarknadens parter genom kollektivavtal. Den lagstiftning som finns är spretig och i stor utsträckning införd p.g.a. EU-In a comparative context Sweden and Denmark are often considered part of the same families of law. In respect of labour law, Denmark differs from the other Nordic countries by avoiding legislation as much as possible and have even left implementation of some EU directives to be performed through collective agreements. The legislation is uneven and to a great extent introduced after demands from th

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) har under det senaste decenniet blivit ett allt mer relevant koncept. De flesta multinationella företag (Multinational Enterprises, MNEs) har formulerat uppförandekoder och många har också anslutit sig till internationella initiativ som fokuserar på CSR, som exempelvis Förenta Nationernas Global Compact. Genom globalisering, avreglering, paradigmskiften och inCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has during the last decade become an increasingly relevant concept. Most Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) have formulated Corporate Codes of Conduct, and many have also joined international initiatives focusing on CSR, such as the United Nations Global Compact. Through globalisation, deregulation, paradigm shifts and not least the development of information te

Syftet med detta arbete är att redogöra för reglerna kring avveckling av dödsbon i Sverige, d.v.s. reglerna om dödsboförvaltning och arvskifte. Behandlingen inriktar sig framför allt på formerna för förvaltningen – vem som har rätt att företräda dödsboet, hur denna behörighet uppkommer och vad den består i. Fokus ligger på hur dödsbodelägarnas samarbete är reglerat och vilka lösningar lagen erbjudThe aim of this thesis is to account for the rules surrounding the administration and distribution of the estate of a deceased person in Sweden. The study is concentrated on the personal representative, i.e. who has the right to administer an estate on death, how this authority arises and what it consists of. The main focus lies on the regulation of the joint administration of the beneficiaries of

Corporate acquisitions are a vital part of the business world. They are a way to ensure growth. They are also a good way of adding values to the company, which in turn makes the company stronger. However, an acquisition is not risk free. It is often expensive and there are no guarantees that the acquisition will be profitable in the end. The buyer can to some extent protect its investment with a n

China‟s relations with African countries represent a growing trend in international relations and South-South cooperation. One important aspect of these liaisons is China‟s financial assistance and its deployment of resource-backed infrastructure loans. Angola is China‟s biggest supplier of oil, whereas China is Angola‟s largest donor, having provided Angola with 7.4 billion dollars in credit line

In terms of its total population, Sweden is one of the countries with the highest proportion of immigrants in the EU. Several factors are critical in integrating immigrants, especially their economic security in a new country. This thesis examines the relationship between law enforcement and economic security for over- indebted immigrants. The primary purpose of this research is to explore the rel
