Den här uppsatsen behandlar begreppet konkurrenspåverkan av konkurrensbegränsande samarbete såsom det regleras i Sherman Act Section 1 och Artikel 101 FEUF. Regleringarna utgör hörnstenar i respektive lands konkurrensrätter. I USA tillämpar domstolar en skälighetsprincip, the rule of reason, under vilken samarbete som resulterar i en negativ konkurrenspåverkan anses oförenligt med Sherman Act SectThis essay concerns the notion of competitive effect of trade restrictive agreements as regulated in the Sherman Act Section 1 and Article 101 TFEU. The provisions on trade restrictive agreements constitute an important part of competition law in the US and the EU. In the US, the Sherman Act Section 1 condemns trade restrictive agreements under a standard of reason, called the rule of reason. The

In the context of multinational corporations, subsidiaries became increasingly important for the organization as a whole over the last decades. Taking into account gaps found in the literature in the field of subsidiaries, the authors of this thesis aim to understand “how does individual intrapreneurship within a subsidiary impact the role of this subsidiary in an MNC context?”. In order to under

Den så kallade standardmodellen har länge betraktats som en av den moderna vetenskapens triumfer, tack vare dess oerhört exakta förutsägelser, som gång på gång har verifierats av experiment. Men från dess begynnelse har den alltid varit inkomplett: inte nog med att gravitationen, den kraft som vi människor är mest bekanta med, inte ens inkluderas i den så har olika, tidigare okända fenomen blivit In this project a two Higgs doublet model with a complex singlet and an extra family symmetry providing a mechanism for suppression of flavor changing neutral currents is explored. The goal is to investigate the phenomenological consistency of the model using a custom software framework. To this end, the scalar and Yukawa sectors of this extension of the Standard Model are explored in detail. The

Utsatta EU-medborgare som befinner sig i Sverige får sina grundläggande mänskliga rättigheter kränkta. På grund av fattigdom, diskriminering och marginalisering har utsatta EU-medborgare, de flesta romer, kommit till Sverige för att söka försörjning. FN har uttryckt en stor oro över situationen och behandlingen av utsatta EU-medborgare i Sverige. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur Vulnerable EU-citizens’ basic human rights are being violated today in Sweden. Due to poverty, discrimination and marginalization vulnerable EU-citizens, most of whom identify as Roma, have come to Sweden to find self-provision. The UN have expressed great concern over the situation and treatment of vulnerable EU-citizens in Sweden. The purpose of this essay is to examine how vulnerable EU-citize

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka attityder konsumenter har till individanpassad marknadsföring och huruvida attityderna påverkas av var konsumenten befinner sig i köpprocessen, vilken relation de har till företaget, samt faktorerna ålder, deras inställning till personlig integritet och vilket förtroende de har för företag. Teoretiskt ramverk: Köpprocessen av Kotler och Keller, d

This study focuses on the relationship between education and economic growth, specifically the effect a potential decline in schooling caused by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic would have on the economic growth of a country. Using an inductive approach, the study focuses on the Sub- Saharan African countries, especially Kenya, since there is anecdotal evidence that a significant number of students h

E-Poster, 2 minute presentation Abstract: Introduction: The tool Assessment of Learning Process (ALP) is to a high extent based on findings from the research project Driving to Learn (1993-2007), and collaboration with Durkin (2009-2016) and Kenyon (2020 -). The eight-phase ALP-Instrument is used to assess tool-use understanding across the full lifespan. Participants and Methods: Classic grounded

This article examines how the principle of ‘the best interests of the child’, as enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), is interpreted, constructed, and applied in court cases involving child custody disputes. These disputes provide a globally relevant example of the CRC’s social dynamics, as they often involve interactions and negotiations among diverse professional groups.

This paper takes a point of departure in the municipality of Copenhagen (two administrations herein) and their participation in Eurocities. The main question is what kind of processes of Europeanization that takes place in the two administrations. Furthermore, it will be discussed what kind of approach they are taking to European cooperation and how their perception and reflection on the matter is

Under mer än 800 år har en bitter konflikt utkämpats mellan främst Irland och Storbritannien. De senaste 50 åren har denna konflikt primärt handlat om Nordirlands varande eller icke varande i unionen med Storbritannien. Den komplexa historien till trots kunde ett avtal tecknas mellan de inblandade parterna 1998. Denna uppsats fokuserar främst på USA som inbegrips i konflikten i början på 90-talet,

In this essay we discuss the importance of the rule of law for upholding fundamental rights within the liberal democratic state formation. The case in point is that of the Jamaica state and its longstanding record of arbitrary human rights practices. Under the rule of law all parts of the state apparatus is subject to the principals of legality and accountability, this entails testing the legality

In this theses I discuss and analyse how nationalism effects local conflict reporting with a field study in Israel and the occupuied territories. Since 2000 Israelis and Palestinians have not been able to meet each other. The Israelis do not enter the occupied palestinian territories because of fear and Palestinians are not allowed to enter Israel without a special permitt. Instead they met throug

The complex structure-activity correlation of the CO oxidation on ruthenium has been studied in a batch reactor by using in situ surface X-ray diffraction (SXRD) and on-line mass spectrometry. Two distinct active phases are identified at higher pressures in the mbar range depending on the reaction conditions: a non-oxidic phase and a RuO2(1 1 0) layer of variable thickness ranging from 1.5 nm to 1

This paper focuses on the issue plasticity within the framework of a micromechanical model for single-crystal shape-memory alloys. As a first step towards a complete micromechanical formulation of such models, we work with classical J(2)-von Mises-type plasticity for simplicity. The modeling of martensitic phase transitions is based on the concept of energy relaxation (quasiconvexification) in con

This study examined variability of lip movements across repetitions of the same utterance as a function of age in Swedish speakers. The specific purpose was to extend earlier findings by examining variability in both phase and amplitude. Subjects were 50 typically developed native Swedish children and adults (28 females, 22 males, aged 5-31 years). Lip movements were recorded during 15-20 repetiti

We study the effects of NaCl on the self-assembly of AAKLVFF and beta A beta AKLVFF in solution. Both AAKLVFF and beta A beta AKLVFF self-assemble into twisted fibers in aqueous solution. The addition of NaCl to aqueous solutions of AAKLVFF produces large crystal-like nanotapes which eventually precipitate. In contrast, highly twisted fibrils were observed for beta A beta AKLVFF solutions at low s

Two species of the genus Choricystis (Choricystis minor and Choricystis chodatii) have been chromosomally surveyed. In addition, their ability to form symbiotic associations with the ciliate Paramecium bursaria was also investigated. Choricystis minor (clone #8931/1 from strain #8931) was isolated from a moss sample collected on Livingston Island, Maritime Antarctica. Choricystis chodatii (clone #

Context: The dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, vildagliptin, inhibits glucagon secretion at hyperglycemia but appears to enhance glucagon counterregulation during hypoglycemia in type 2 diabetes.Objective:The objective of the investigation was to study whether vildagliptin also improves α-cell function in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Patients and Methods: The study was a single-center, double-blind, ra
