With a far going protection of IP rights, the EU aims to protect the assets of companies which invested in innovative products. If the EU framework provides a far going mechanism of protection of IP rights, the complexity and the cost of this mechanism have been a barrier to the access of IP rights. In additional to these structural issues, the digital revolution introduced new challenges for the
Det nuvarande substantiella testet i EUs regim för koncentrationskontroll infördes år 2004 i syfte att täcka koncentrationer mellan företag som påtagligt skulle hämma den effektiva konkurrensen på marknaden utan att skapa eller förstärka en dominant position. Koncentrationer som ger upphov till sådana så kallade icke-samordnade effekter uppkommer typiskt sett på oligopolmarknader, varför den uppleThe existing substantive test in EU merger control was adopted in 2004 with the aim of covering concentrations between undertakings which would significantly impede effective competition in the market without creating or strengthening a dominant position. Concentrations giving rise to such so- called unilateral effects typically take place in oligopolistic markets, which is why the perceived gap i
The summer of 2018 was a reality check for many when several heat waves made the temperature rise above normal in Sweden. Especially in urban areas, where heat can be stored more easily in the building materials, the temperature was extreme due to the creation of urban heat islands. Today these areas can be detected with a tool for mapping urban heat islands. The aim of this study is to examine h
This study investigates the policy interpretations of development as a concept in the Czech international development cooperation. The rapid transitional experience of countries in Central and Eastern Europe from aid recipient to aid donor claims to have established a unique type of donor, distinct from other major traditional donors, specifically in regard to their approaches to development. Furt
For any acquisition to take place the assets to be sold must be valued. Some argue that an asset is worth whatever an acquirer is willing to pay for it at any given time. We believe that there is an underlying value (intrinsic value) that depends on the expected future cash flows of the asset and the risk associated with these cash flows. There exist several methods for estimating this value. Trad
Work Shop B at ITT Flygt manufactures submersible pumps primarily for the construction industry and are today using an assembly principle, working on benches. Because of the demand on short delivery times and great variations of orders during the year there is a high pressure on the work shop. Because of the aspects above, the work shop wants to investigate whether it is possible to find a model f
Sedan 1975 har det funnits en utökad möjlighet för patienter att få ersättning vid felbehandling inom vården genom den frivilliga patientförsäkringen, utöver de möjligheter som skadeståndsrätten erbjuder. År 1997 var patient-försäkringen inte frivillig längre, då det lagstadgades att varje vårdgivare är skyldig att ha en patientförsäkring och förutsättningarna för ersättning fastställdes. FörutsätSince 1975, the possibility for remedy when Swedish healthcare is performed incorrectly and causes personal injury is extended by the voluntary patient injury insurance. Since 1997, the patient injury insurance is statutory in the Patient Injury Act and thereby mandatory for all health care institutions. The conditions for compensation through the patient injury insurance are the same regardless o
Germany’s current energy grid was built to match energy production from major power plants (coal, gas, nuclear). Due to the 2011 decision to exit all nuclear power until 2022 and ambitious national CO 2 reduction targets, the need to modernise and extend the grid has received substantial attention. In the past, implementation of grid extension projects had shown to be slow and raise serious pu
Vi människor och vårt samhälle påverkas mycket av klimatet vi lever i och av de naturliga klimat- och miljövariationer som sker på jorden. Det kan vara kortvariga katastrofartade händelser som tsunamis och jordbävningar men också långsammare och långvariga klimatförändringar som påverkar vårt sätt att leva och bruka jorden. Genom geologiska studier av jordens historia vet vi att klimatet har varie
Developing market integration is an underlying feature of the Union project with market harmonisation and deeper integration at the heart of the Union’s modernisation project.

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Platåleror utgör ett markant inslag i det inre backlandskapet söder om Romeleåsen i Skåne. De är kvadratkilometer stora, cirkulära lerområden, med en svagt undulerande yta som täcker landskapets högsta kullformer. Runt platålerorna ligger oftast s k kantryggar som huvudsakligen består av grus och sand. I snart hundra år har bildningsmiljön för platålerorna och k
Manufacturing firms have a hard time competing with goods only. It is considered that everyone can produce and therefore the competition is solely based on cost. The solution is to increase the value of the offer. Services show great potential in increasing customer value. In addition services are harder to copy and can generate constant stream of income (through contracts). The packaging industry
