International cooperation between national tax authorities through exchange of information is becoming even more important than it was before in combating tax evasion. In this chapter, the implementation of automatic exchange of information is discussed with a focus on cross border flows of personal data. First, we discuss the legal framework for the ex-change of information. Article 26 of the OE

Interest in the culture of freshwater crayfish throughout Europe has increased during the last few decades. However, the effects of both introduced and native crayfish species on the structure and diversity of freshwater communities has received little attention. In this paper, I review the impact of crayfish on macrophytes, algae, invertebrates, amphibians and fish; also I compare the impact of i

This chapter will follow in Reza Banakar’s footsteps by investigating legal pluralism in a globalized world. It takes the transnational legal pluralistic reality surrounding corporations as its point of departure and examines how two corporations accused of misconduct manoeuvre around the legal pluralistic terrain to their advantage, and at the same time attempt to define which laws should be appl

A piece of lead with imprints from a coin die and the early minting in Lund. At an archaeological excavation in central Lund in the early 1970s a very unusual find was retrieved: a piece of lead with several imprints from a coin die. The motif and the runic inscription on the lead plate indicate that the die derives from Sven Estridsen’s minting during his late years as king of Denmark. The find i

Avian flapping strategies have the potential to revolutionize future drones as they may considerably improve agility, increase slow speed flight capability, and extend the aerodynamic performance. The study of live birds is time-consuming, laborious, and, more importantly, limited to the flapping motion adopted by the animal. The latter makes systematic studies of alternative flapping strategies i

The company that this project takes place at has most of its production facility in Halmstad. A little more than a year ago this plant was exposed to a fire that destroyed the facility completely. The company is now planning to build a new plant on the same spot as the old was situated. Purpose The purpose of this project is to analyse the company´s material flow and based on the result make decis

A geometry model for three dimensional fibre networks is proposed. The geometry model is intended to be a part of a system, where data from a computer tomography of a fibre material can be fitted to the geometry model and from there, be evaluated according to key parameters such as fibre length, fibre orientation angles and radii of curvature. The model is also intended to give the geometry foundation

Frihamnen i Stockholm står inför en omfattande omvandling. Området, som under lång tid har fungerat som en central plats för hamn- och industriverksamhet, planeras att utvecklas till en ny stadsdel med bostäder, kontor och service. I denna process riskerar flera befintliga industribyggnader att rivas för att ge plats åt ny bebyggelse. Samtidigt innebär detta att viktiga delar av platsens historia,

In 2010, an explosive cholera epidemic erupted in Haiti, killing close to 10.000 people and injuring some 800.000. Several scientific reports have traced the spread of the bacterium back to the United Nations base in the Mirebalais in Haiti, which hosted the Nepalese peacekeeping contingent. Subsequent claims for reparation filed by cholera victims have been rejected by the United Nations which de

The small protein α-synuclein is strongly associated with Parkinson’s disease. This protein is found in inclusion bodies, named lewy bodies inside neurons of people suffering from the disease. α-synuclein is very abundant in the human brain, and its normal function is still elusive and unclear. The factors that trigger the accumulation and fibrillation of this protein into pathogenic inclusion bod

Olagliga transaktioner i form av bland annat penningtvätt, insiderhandel och marknadsmanipulation är stora problem som ofta glöms bort. Bara under 2020 tvättades 1.6 biljoner dollar världen över, motsvarande 2.7\% av världens totala BNP. Insiderhandel och marknadsmanipulation bidrar till misstro för marknaden vilket gör att den till lägre grad kan allokera pengar till företag från investerare då fIllegal transactions in the form of money laundering, insider trading and market manipulation is a major problem that is often forgotten. In the year of 2020, 1.6 trillion dollars were successfully laundered, corresponding to 2.7\% of the world's total GDP. Insider trading and market manipulation contribute to mistrust of the market, resulting in worse capital distribution from investors to co
