I propositionen till den nya konkurrenslagen som antogs 2008 öppnades möjligheten för individuellt ansvar vid överträdelser av konkurrensrätten. Sedan 2010 riskerar individer som deltar i konkurrensbegränsande samarbete att dömas till näringsförbud. En fråga som lyftes i samband med lagförslaget var huruvida en kriminalisering skulle vara möjlig inom ramen för konkurrensrätten. Frågan har lyfts fl
From its beginnings in 2001, the World Social Forum (WSF) has gained notice as a manifestation of ‘grassroots globalization.’ Is this new political formation of transnational activists an open space for organizations to gather, or does it constitute a social movement itself? The present study examines this debate among analysts and participants, using ethnographic data collected via participant-ob
Wood-based light-weight I-beams are today widely used in the construction industry. An important feature of these beams is that the user can make holes in the web where needed. Today there is no general method used to calculate the reduced strength of these beams with a hole in the web. The calculation methods vary between the manufacturers and are commonly based on empirical results. The aim of t
Varumärkesrätten har alltid varit territoriell till sin natur, vilket har inneburit att skyddet som en innehavare av rättigheten ges enbart har varit begränsat till ett specifikt land. Denna territorialitet har visat sig vara svår att förena med Internets gränslösa och allestädes närvarande natur. I denna uppsats har jag utrett och diskuterat frågor som uppkommer vid gränsöverskridande varumärkesiTrademark law has always been territorially limited by its nature which has lead to the situation where the protection, granted to the owner of the right to a specific mark, has been limited to that specific territory. This territorial aspect has proven to be hard to reconcile with the borderless and ubiquitous nature of the Internet. In this thesis I have examined and discussed issues that arise
Arbetet behandlar utdelningsbeskattningens omfattning, främst vid transaktioner som aktualiserar uttagsbeskattning, men även vid transaktioner där kostnadsavdrag inte medges. Bakgrunden är att HFD under 2004 lämnade två avgöranden där prövningen avsåg huruvida utdelnings-beskattning skulle ske vid två olika transaktioner som innebar uttags-beskattningssituationer. Det första avgörandet avsåg en unThis thesis explores the scope of the Swedish dividend taxation for transactions on the subject of withdrawal taxation, and also as regards transactions where a cost deduction is not allowed. The background study begins with two Swedish Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) decisions from 2004. These cases tried whether dividend taxation should occur at two different transactions regarding withdrawal
This is a case study that aims to explain social media's impact on the outcome of the Egyptian revolution by examining the social and political issues. The social mobilization process intends to seek citizens' rights to sustain a civil society. Two main theories about the role of media from a social perspective and civil society are used in order to understand the rise of revolution and w
Uppsatsen ämnar behandla vilka civilrättsliga följder ett brott mot ett avtal, som på något sätt styr processen i ett skiljeförfarande, kan få. En anledning till att allt fler näringsidkare väljer att lösa sina tvister i ett skiljeförfarande beror antagligen på att möjligheterna att kontrollera processen är större i jämförelse med ett motsvarande förfarande i allmän domstol. Det kan handla om att This essay examines which consequence a breach of contract aimed at dictating the process in arbitration can have under civil law. One of the reasons why more businesses choose to solve their disputes in arbitration proceedings probably depends on the fact that their possibilities to influence this process is greater in comparison to an equal process undertaken in general court. The parties might
Den 5 augusti 2012 trädde en lagändring gällande skatteavtalet mellan Sverige och Schweiz i kraft. I och med lagändringen så införs bland annat en helt ny bestämmelse om informationsutbyte. Bestämmelsen överensstämmer i stora delar med motsvarande bestämmelse i OECD:s modellavtal. I två avseenden skiljer sig skatteavtalets ordalydelse från modellavtalets. Det rör sig om två tillägg som finns i skaOn August 5th 2012, an amendment to the tax treaty between Sweden and Switzerland entered into force. With this amendment, a new provision on exchange of information was introduced. The provision is largely equal to the corresponding provision in the OECD model convention. However, the wording of the tax treaty differs from the model convention in two aspects, it regards two additions which are in
Climate change represents one of the most serious threats to international environmental, social and economic security. The growing energy consumption is producing enormous amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which are fastening climate change and polluting the environment. For this reason, the European Union (EU) desires to act as a global leader in combating climate change and is therefor
Migration and urbanisation have a great impact on many Less Developed Countries. However, limited research has been focusing on the relationship between urbanisation and rapidly growing slum populations. This thesis provides a better understanding of how rural migrants in Kenya are affected by their movements to one of the world’s largest slums, Kibera. This study uses qualitative data collected f
Considering the present environmental degradations, Bangladesh is one of the most affected and vulnerable countries in the world. In particular, its coastal areas are prone to frequent environmental changes. More people are now displaced by climate change than by war (Mehreb 2006: 27). Environmental vulnerabilities have already contributed to large permanent migrations each and every year, almost
This is a qualitative study conducted in Sweden to inform on views and approaches to literature teaching in the ESL classroom of teachers at upper secondary schools. The research questions are: What views may teachers have of the teaching of literature in the ESL classroom in upper secondary school in Sweden? How can the Swedish curriculum for upper secondary school be interpreted and used when it
The ongoing refugee crisis has divided the European Union. While some states shelter hundreds of thousands of refugees, others only grant asylum to a handful. This phenomenon is creating a demographic rift inside the union and is also causing internal quarrels over joint responsibility, which possibly could undermine the existence of the organization. In this thesis we search for the potential cau
Gräsrotsfinansiering är en finansieringsform som växer i omfattning och popularitet. Kortfattat handlar det om att bolag söker kapital från den stora massan istället för de mer traditionella källorna. Det finns flera varianter av gräsrotsfinansiering, den som vållar de största juridiska spörsmålen är den delägarbaserade varianten. Denna innebär att investerare erbjuds aktier eller andra värdepappe
Given the extent and urgency of many sustainability challenges it is crucial that individuals change their behaviour to steer society towards a more sustainable future. Yet, a variety of barriers exist that hinder sufficient individual pro-environmental behaviour. As it is not only important to understand these barriers but also how to facilitate more pro-environmental behaviour, my research aim i
När lagstiftarna kriminaliserar en viss gärning innebär detta att ett brott har skapats. Detta sker främst i syfte att avhålla människor från att begå handlingen i fråga. Men då en kriminalisering i förlängningen kan innebära ett straff, vilket är en mycket långtgående och repressiv form av myndighetsutövning, krävs att det finns vissa begränsningar för när en kriminalisering får ske för att dettaWhen legislators criminalise a certain act, a crime has been created. The main purpose of this is to deter people from committing the act in question. But as a criminalisation can result in punishment, which is a very severe and suppressive form of administrative supervision, it requires certain restrictions being made as to when such a criminalisation can be considered legitimate. A very basic pr
När jag kom i kontakt med begreppet gärningsculpa, som är en nödvändig brottsförutsättning, under mina straffrättsstudier här vid Lunds Universitet slogs jag av att det, såvitt gäller just gärningsculpan, krävs en icke oväsentlig bedömning av domstolarna som saknar adekvata riktlinjer. I denna uppsats har jag därför försökt att: A) Beskriva svensk straffrätt gällande den straffrättsliga konstruktiUpon coming into contact with the Swedish legal concept of "gärningsculpa" (roughly, negligence or carelessness pertaining to an act, which is a necessary condition for criminal liability), during my studies of criminal law at Lund University, I was struck by the fact that there is a rather substantial judgment to be made by the courts, that lacks proper guidelines. In this paper I there
Fjärrvärmenät för ett energieffektivare Lund Lund är en stad i förändring. En helt ny design på fjärrvärmenätet skulle kunna vara en lösning på många problem. I dagens samhälle ses ett uppvärmt hem som en självklarhet. Men värmen uppkommer inte av sig själv. För att värma sitt hem använder många idag fjärrvärme då detta är både en smidig, miljövänlig och ofta billig lösning.
