Protesting against human rights violations is dangerous. Worldwide, human rights defenders are subject to violations ranging from harassment to murder. One way in which human rights defenders are silenced is through the misuse of the national judicial system where it is employed to punish human rights defenders for their work. Vague laws contribute to making this possible because they obfuscate th

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) har vuxit från att på 1950-talet varit en diskussion om företags sociala ansvar, till att idag utgöra en allt viktigare beståndsdel i företags beslutsfattande. CSR har uppstått som en motreaktion från allmänheten efter flertalet företagsskandaler och ökad globalisering då företagen kommit att utgöra viktiga aktörer för samhällsutvecklingen. Utvecklingen har frCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has evolved from in the 1950s being a discussion, to today constitute an increasingly more important component of corporate decision-making.

Vid en företagsöverlåtelse utgör ofta det skriftliga förvärvsavtalet en omfattande reglering av parternas respektive rättigheter och skyldigheter. I förvärvsavtalet finns allt som oftast också en s.k. integrationsklausul som stadgar att parternas skriftliga förvärvsavtal är den slutliga och fullständiga regleringen av parternas aktuella rättsförhållande. Uppsatsens syfte är att närmare utreda en aThe written agreement for an acquisition of a company is often an extensive regulation of the parties’ rights and obligations. The written agreement usually also contains a so called “integration clause” which proclaims that the written agreement constitutes the parties’ complete agreement of the transaction.

The single-stranded telomere ends The telomeres are tandem repeat DNA sequences at the ends of our chromosomes. They are very important for the protection of our genomic DNA, and keeps it from being degraded and helps it staying intact. Genomic DNA is usually double-stranded, but on the very ends of the telomeres we find single-stranded ends which are called the 3’overhangs. These overhangs are

Framväxten av artificiell intelligens (AI) har medfört ett flertal utmaningar för det upphovsrättsliga regelverket. Det befintliga upphovsrättsliga regelverket ger skydd åt verk som skapats av en människa. Samtidigt har framstegen inom AI och den djupa maskininlärningen möjliggjort att AI-system genererar alster i form av litteratur, musik och bilder, som traditionellt har hört till människans domThe emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) poses a number of challenges to copyright law. The existing copyright regulations provide protection for works created by human beings. At the same time, advances in AI and deep machine learning have enabled AI systems to generate creations of literature, music and images, which are traditionally associated with the human domain. The thesis investigat

Skyldigheten för en avtalspart att meddela motparten om eventuellt miss-nöje med avtalsrelationen eller den levererade prestationen har länge varit en del av den svenska rätten. Skyldigheten förstås i dag som ett utlopp av par-ternas lojalitetsplikt och stadgar en allmän avtalsrättslig reklamationsplikt. Den allmänna reklamationsplikten har de senaste åren återkommande prö-vats av HD. Genom HD:s pThe obligation for a contracting party to notify the counterparty of any dissatisfaction with the contractual relationship or the counterparty’s performance has for long been a part of Swedish law. The obligation is an expression of the parties’ duty of loyalty and establishes a general contractual obligation to give notice. An obligation that has been the focus of several of the Swedish Supreme C

The importance of sterilization processes has been a major topic in the food manufacturing industry since it preserves the quality and provides longer shelf-life by preventing microbiological recontamination of products. Aseptic packaging is an alternative technique to pack commercially sterile products into containers with a very low recontamination rate, thus, the entire production chain must be

Since 2001 there has been an increase in oil price and unlike other times there is nothing indicating a major persistent decline. As oil is a limited resource and since current production capacity can not fully meet the growing demand the price on oil is kept high. A high oil price will not only result in higher price on fuel and thereby a higher cost of transport. It will also affect areas such a

Background Dietary intervention is an effective way to prevent pandemic non-communicable diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes which can probably raise the risk of depression and Alzheimer's disease. Although considerable numbers of intervention studies focus on metabolic effects and physiological benefits of the intake of plant lipids, the function in appetite, mood, and cognition modu

This thesis examines the phenomena of third-party enforcement in public international law, in a historical as well as in a contemporary perspective. To that end, it traces the role of such enforcement measures from the past into the present. It also studies the potential discrepancies between current unilateral sanctions and the recent changes experienced by international law at large. Two legal m

Efter att fransk polis lyckats få tillgång till material från den krypterade kommunikationstjänsten EncroChat vidarebefordrades delar av materialet till den svenska Polisen.

Ansvarsgenombrott, dvs. att delägarna i ett aktiebolag trots ansvarsbegräns-ningen i ABL 1 kap. 3 § görs ansvariga för aktiebolagets förpliktelser, har länge varit omdiskuterat i svensk doktrin.

The Most-Favoured-Nation treatment has been a common feature in international economic relations for a long period of time. The principle provides for equal competitive opportunities between contracting states and has been a standard in the field of trade, investment and other areas of economic co-operation. Although its application to these fields of law is widely accepted, the principle has stil

Genom Europakonventionen och regeringsformen tillförsäkras den enskilde ett flertal rättigheter. Varje medborgare åtnjuter bland annat skydd till frihet och personlig säkerhet samt till privat och familjeliv, sitt hem och sin korrespondens. Dessa friheter får begränsas genom lag under förutsättning att begränsningen tillgodoser ändamål som är godtagbara i ett demokratiskt samhälle. Att utreda brotThe Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR) and the Swedish constitution guarantee everyone a number of civil rights. Every citizen has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence. These rights may be limited by law, presumed that these limitations have a righteous purpose in a democratic society. Investigating crimes

Endast den som är svensk medborgare har en absolut rätt att vistas i landet. När en utlänning begår ett brott kan detta under vissa förutsättningar leda till att utlänningen utvisas. När domstolen avgör om en utlänning ska utvisas på grund av brott görs en avvägning mellan brottets allvarlighet eller risken för att utlänningen återfaller i brott och utlänningens anknytning till Sverige. UppsatsenSummary Only Swedish citizens enjoy the absolute right to reside in Sweden. A foreigner who commits a crime can, under certain circumstances, be deported. When the court decides whether or not a foreigner is going to be deported because of crime it makes an adjustment between the severity of the crime or the risk of continued criminal activity and the foreigners attachment to Sweden.
