Generally, the time of contract formation is when the acceptance becomes binding and effective. This point in time may vary widely under different jurisdiction's national laws. Further, the special characteristics of the Internet may complicate the issue of the time of online contract formation The purpose of this thesis is to shed light on whether there is a requirement of a uniform rule, def
This thesis deals with the international rules regarding passenger liability on an international aircraft. The focus will be the carrier's liability toward passengers on an aircraft. The purpose is to give an account of the common international rules and to clarify the problems with interpretation of the passenger liability article. I will focus on the Montreal Convention of 1999, which is the
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
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
Under början av förra seklet skedde en formlig reception av tysk processrätt genom Ernst Kallenbergs verk Svensk Civilprocessrätt i två band. Således kom läran om processföremålet genom 1942 års processreform att läggas till grund för utformningen av den svenska rättegångsbalken (RB). Läran om processföremålet innebär att saken är den omtvistade rättigheten i det bakom-liggande rättsförhållande soAt the turn of the last century, a formal reception of German procedural law took place through Ernst Kallenberg’s work ’Svensk Civilprocessrätt’ in two volumes. Thereby, the German doctrine on the essence of the claim formed the basis for the Swedish Code of Procedure, rättegångsbalken (RB), through the procedural reform of 1942. The doctrine on the essence of the claim holds that the matter cont
Reinforced concrete is one of the most widely used building materials and if it is properly designed and produced, it is an extremely durable material with a service life up to 100 years. However, under certain environmental conditions the service life of reinforced concrete structures is more limited. Deterioration of concrete structure is in most cases caused by the penetration of aggressive med

The intention is to describe and analyse the counselling interview in the ninth grade with relation to: · the student's expectations, perceptions and values before and after the interviews, · the co
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vanligt viloelektrokardiogram (EKG) med 12 avledningar är ett av de mest använda redskapen för diagnostik av hjärtsjukdom. Tidigare forskning har visat att detta EKG ej är optimalt, men att nya EKG-metoder kan ge viktig tilläggsinformation. En metod som i flera tidigare studier visat sig innehålla diagnostisk potential är analys av de högfrekventa signalkomponenterna i The standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most commonly used methods for diagnosing heart disease. Standard ECG is not always optimal, however, and new ECG methods can provide additional information. Analysis of high-frequency QRS components (HF-QRS) has been shown to increase the diagnostic performance of the ECG. Since the amplitudes of the HF-QRS are low compared with those vis
Popular Abstract in Swedish Selen är ett essentiellt näringsämne som behövs för att upprätthålla flera viktiga funktioner i kroppen, huvudsakligen genom en speciell grupp proteiner som heter selenoproteiner. Det finns minst 25 stycken olika selenoproteiner i människan och flera av dem skyddar kroppen mot oxidation medan vissa andra sköter regleringen av sköldkörtelhormoner. Många selenoproteiners Selenium is a micronutrient that is essential for many important life processes due to the action of the specific selenoproteins containing one or more of the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine. Twenty-five selenoprotein genes have been found in the human genome but the function of many of them is not yet known. Some of the characterised selenoproteins have, however, antioxidant properties. Selenium
Research at the division of Packaging Logistics, Lund University, has been performed in numerous areas, ranging from organisational learning and sustainability to process integration and service development. One of these is the new and complex research area of traceability. When it comes to food scandals, from the mad cow disease at the end of the 90s to the more recent incident where glass has b
Popular Abstract in Swedish FN:s barnkonvention formulerar barns och ungas behov i termer av mänskliga rättigheter. Sverige ratificerade konventionen efter ett beslut i riksdagen den 21 juni 1990, utan att reservera sig på någon punkt. Konventionens budskap kan sammanfattas i tre ord: Barn skall respekteras. Vuxna skall se barnet, sträva efter att förstå det och vidta åtgärder som bedöms vara tillThe main purpose was to investigate children's participation in the decision-making processes in health care. Twenty-four children (0-18 år)admitted to hospital, their parents, and the staff present were observed during totally 135 hours in order to (i) identify the children's needs, (ii) their participation in the decision-making processes, and (iii) their parents' participation.

The aim of this study is to characterise the physical-chemical properties of alkylglucosides. Alkylglucosides are non-ionic surfactants synthesized from glucose and a fatty alcohol. The glucose molecule constitutes the hydrophilic head group and the fatty alcohol constitutes the hydrophobic tail. The two parts are linked together with a glucoside bond. In nature, the building and breakage of a glu
Popular Abstract in Swedish Nygjuten betong innehåller överskottsfukt som avges till omgivningen under uttorkningen. Om uttorkningen får fortsätta i en konstant luftfuktighet antar betongen så småningom samma fuktighet. Eftersom betong är ett tätt material tar det lång tid, ofta flera år, innan så har skett. Tills detta har inträffat sker en fukttransport från de inre delarna ut till ytan. En delThere were two principal objectives for this thesis. The first was to develop a methodology and evaluation model of moisture redistribution in order to make the future relative humidity in a screeded concrete slab predictable. The second objective was to develop a method to determine the critical humidity for ion transport in concrete. Residual moisture in screeded concrete slabs may be redistrib
Traditional knowledge (TK) is in simple terms knowledge systems held by indigenous communities, often relating to their surrounding natural environment. Through globalisation and the increased availability of this knowledge as well as the implementation of intellectual property systems in the developing world TK and its relationship with the IPR-system has become a much debated and highly complica
For a successful project of urban wind power requires wind as well as attachments, sound level and the requirements and regulations should be taken under consideration. But a lot of experience is still lacking and many projects fail therefore. This report covers the aspects described above and a summary of experiences and knowledge gaps have been made with the aim of facilitating the planning phas
Intellectual property law seeks to promote society's industrial development through the recognition of patents. The logic of granting patent protection is clear-cut: Patents provide incentives for developing new technology. The lack of an adequate legal protection for innovations would slow progress and the benefits it brings. Without legal protection, companies would be unlikely to spend sign
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.
