Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om hur det rättsliga ramverket för EUs militära operationer, med fokus på internationell humanitär rätt, kan tillämpas. Givet att EU snabbt utvecklat en militär kapacitet inom sin gemensamma säkerhets- och försvarspolitik genom verkställande av militära operationer utförda av EU medlemsstater och icke medlemsstater i tredje land, uppstår frågor om tillämplig lag och As the EU increasingly manifests its Common Security and Defence Policy by conducting military operations in third countries with troops put at its disposal from EU member states and non-member states, questions emerge with regards to the legal framework and the applicable law governing the conduct of EU military operations. This paper address how the legal framework, with focus on international h

In this study I have investigated the variance in a phenotypically plastic defence trait in the common pond snail (Radix balthica). This species is known to develop a predator induced shell shape when exposed to cues of predatory fish such as the crucian carp (Carassius carassius). My aim was to investigate if this snail species would have a higher level in expressed predator induced shell shape i
Conventional wisdom suggests, in the face of deepening European integration, that without some form of tax harmonisation "a race to the bottom" would ensue undermining the foundations of Europe's welfare states. Such wisdom can be questioned on two grounds. Firstly, Member States are not on the same "playing field" as there is great disparity between the various Member Stat

The presence of Nano particles in food is a topic that have gain much attention lately. The aim of this study is to investigate the aggregation behavior of nano silica under in vitro gastrointestinal conditions using asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AF4) coupled with several detectors. Major part of this work is to find a suitable condition for the experiments. With measurements of Z-pote
