När man i juridisk doktrin talar om inomobligatoriskt skadeståndsansvar åsyftas det skadeståndsansvar som drabbar part i ett avtalsförhållande. Den uppkomna skadan i dessa situationer är oftast ren förmögenhetsskada med vad menas sådan ekonomisk skada som uppkommit utan samband med person- eller sakskada. Huvudregeln i svensk skadeståndsrätt är att ren förmögenhetsskada leder till skadestånd endasIf one of the parties to a contract does not fulfill his contractual promise, or has given information to the other party that he will not perform as mentioned in the contract, he is said to breach the contract. With that a breach of contract is a legal cause of action in which a contract is not honored by one of the parties. Most of the time ones breach of contract leads to an economic loss for

The game industry’s size and growth over the last 25 years has evolved from an almost nonexistent market to a huge industry. Another phenomenon which has also had a huge growth during the last decade is e-commerce, the buying and selling of products and services over the Internet. Video games are naturally connected to computers and the Internet. This together with the fact that they are digital p

Popular Abstract in Swedish Diabetes, i alla dess olika former, är en allvarlig sjukdom. Typ 1 diabetes är av autoimmun härkomst, då kroppen eget immunförsvaret attackerar och förstör β-cellerna i bukspottkörteln. Dessa celler producerar insulin som hjälper kolhydraterna i maten vi äter att komma kroppens celler till godo. Sverige har världens näst högsta antal nya insjuknanden, bara Finland har fThe role of miRNAs in pancreatic islets and β-cell function and in the development of diabetes in human and rodents have been investigated in this thesis. Dicer1 was specifically deleted in vivo in pancreatic β-cells under the RIP-promoter in mice. The results show that disruption of miRNAprocessing in mouse pancreatic β-cells, while compatible with β-cell development, leads to defective insulin-s

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mer än hälften av alla kvinnor har haft en urinvägsinfektion. Infektionen uppkommer när bakterier når urinblåsan och börjar växa. Immunförsvaret känner igen bakterierna, reagerar med en inflammation och symptom som sveda, trängningar och smärtor i nedre magtrakten uppstår. Om bakterierna klättrar upp till njurarna sprider sig inflammationen dit och orsakar ryggsmärtor oUrinary tract infections (UTIs) present an interesting and relevant model for studying microbial adaptation. After establishing significant numbers, the bacteria either cause severe disease, or an asymptomatic carrier state resembling the normal flora at other mucosal sites. Patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) are protected from re-infection if the strain that they carry outcompetes more

At the last glacial maximum, vast ice sheets covered many continental areas. The beds of some shallow seas were exposed thereby connecting previously separated landmasses. Although some areas were ice-free and supported a flora and fauna, mean annual temperatures were 10-13degreesC colder than during the Holocene. Within a few millennia of the glacial maximum, deglaciation started, characterized b

Knowledge about the nutrient and carbon budgets in forest soils is essential to maintain sustainable production, but also in several environmental issues, such as acidification, eutrophication and climate change. The budgets are strongly influenced by atmospheric deposition as well as forestry. This study demonstrates how budget calculations for nitrogen (N), carbon (C) and base cations (BC) can b

Purpose - The purpose of the paper is to evaluate theoretically and experimentally the static and dynamic characteristics of a single-phase claw-pole motor using soft magnetic composite (SMC) for the stator core. Design/methodology/approach - On the basis of the static characteristics, which are measured and obtained from a series of 3D FE magnetostatic solutions, the dynamic characteristics are s

In the article, the issue of environmental sustainability criteria in the coffee sector is researched. Such important aspects in this topic are highlighted and discussed as reasons for the emergence of sustainability criteria for coffee and factors that make the production of coffee sustainable. Two widely used sustainability standards for coffee, the Fair Trade Coffee sustainability standard and

Two large-scale randomized screening trials, the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovary (PLCO) cancer trial in the USA and the European Randomized Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) trial in Europe are currently under way, aimed at assessing whether screening reduces prostate cancer mortality. Up to the end of 1998, 102,691 men have been randomized to the intervention arm and 115,322 to the contr

Library assessment and external intelligence is important for tracking and improving library activities. Quality assurance and strategic planning are intricate parts in sustainably developing better and more effective services. Gothenburg University Library has implemented a process with the goal to join these activities. The process has both bottom-up and top-down features designed to generate st

Humanity’s ever-growing energy demands require the implementation of more sustainable ways to harvest and store energy. At the same time, the reduction of greenhouse gas emission and thus global warming remains of paramount importance. To this end, solar energy harvesting presents an attractive route towards satisfying these requirements—be that by conversion to thermal energy, electricity or to c

The Forum Romanum constituted the religious, political, economic and administrative centre of Rome for more than a millennium. During this time it went through several changes. It transformed from a liminal zone in the periphery of the Iron Age settlements into a communal space and sacred ground; later into an arena for political struggle and civic ambition; and finally into a showcase for Imperia

The molecular motion in water of the poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymer with the nominal composition EO97PO68EO97 (F127) was investigated with the aid of pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG NMR). The signal decays in the PFG experiments have been recorded for 1 wt % F127 in the temperature range from 288 to 313 K and in the concentr
