När man handlar med varor finns det såväl i Sverige som på ett internationellt plan ett tydligt regelverk för att hantera situationer när varan är behäftad med ett fel. Annorlunda är fallet vad gäller handel med immateriella rättigheter. Det finns inte någon lag i Sverige som definierar vad ett immaterialrättsligt fel är. Det finns inte heller någon lag som anger hur säljarens kontraktsbrott på grWhen buying and selling goods (tangible assets), there is an established set of rules that regulates situations of non-conformity of the goods in both Sweden and in international conventions. Regarding the commerce of intellectual property, the case is different. There is no law in Sweden defining non-conformity in an intellectual property.

Women in developing countries have been and are still suffering from various disadvantages on the labor market. We use a fixed effects model with a hierarchical structure to assess the empirical relationship between economic integration, measured by trade, exports and imports, and the female labor force participation rate (FLFPR). The relationship between economic integration and the female employ

Sweden is often considered a global forerunner of family demographic shifts brought about by increasing individualization and globalization. While modern theories often depict a general movement away from romantic love sentiments and toward more rational, equal and casual exchanges and defamilization, feminist scholarship critiques the optimism of these claims in light of persisting structural ine

The Kyoto protocol was the first tangible approach to prevent increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In order to attain this objective, the parties of the protocol decided to put restrictions on anthropogenic emissions caused by production in developed countries. This territorially defined production-based method of measuring might have been a misguided path though. Researchers

BackgroundAmbulance clinicians increasingly refer patients to self-care, positioning ambulance service within a wider gatekeeping role and necessitating the assessment of whether self-care is a safe option or if further support is needed. Contrary to primary healthcare centre (PHC) referrals, self-care referrals often lack structured follow-ups, with the decision consequences remaining underexplor

Hydraulic balancing is key to ensure proper operation of the heating system. When the heating system is not hydraulically balanced, heat is unevenly distributed across dwellings resulting in a wide temperature spread, overheating, and consequently, wastage of energy. In this paper, we study to which extent hydraulic imbalance affects the thermal energy demand of buildings. Furthermore, key variabl

Those skilled in medicine learned their profession by being apprenticed to people who were more experienced and knowledgeable.

Background Early-onset depression contributes significantly to long-term disability and suicide, making high-quality healthcare for young people with depression a critical concern. Medical record review (MRR) is widely used to assess healthcare quality. However, its application to depression care for children and adolescents appears underexplored, with no consensus on conceptualising or measuring
