Wind speed and direction have a significant effect on a flying bird's ground speed. Migrants are therefore expected to be sensitive to wind conditions and this should have consequences for optimal strategies of stopover and refuelling. Based on an earlier model of time-minimizing migration which includes wind condition, we investigate the consequences of the temporal correlation of wind conditions

Det svenska rättssystemet bygger i grunden på principer om rättssäkerhet, oberoende och allmänhetens förtroende för domstolarnas dömande verksamhet.

Systemet motiveras ofta utifrån demokratiska värden, såsom insyn, folklig förankring och allmän reprThe Swedish legal system is based on the principles of legal certainty, judicial independence and public trust in the court ́s decision making process.

Denna uppsats försöker belysa huruvida en digital konsumtionsprincip inom EU finns, och om en sådan inte finns ifall den kan skapas och huruvida det ens är lämpligt. Konsumtionsprincipen gör det möjligt för en konsument att sälja vidare upphovsrättsskyddat material utan att en upphovsrättsinnehavare kan hindra detta med hänvisning till sin exklusiva spridningsrätt. Traditionellt har denna princip This essay aims to shine light on whether a digital exhaustion doctrine can be said to exist within the EU, and if not whether it could be created and whether this is even suitable. The exhaustion doctrine gives a consumer the right to sell copyrighted materials without the copyright holder being able to stop this with reference to the exclusive distribution right. Traditionally, exhaustion has on
