The application of domestic competition law to IPR abuses in technology transfer varies a great deal between developed and developing countries, and

Sexualbrotten i svensk rätt kräver idag att gärningsmannen har använt någon typ av våld eller hot, eller har utnyttjat ett hjälplöst tillstånd. År 2003 kom emellertid Europadomstolens avgörande i Bulgariendomen, i vilken kan utläsas att varje sexuell handling som begås utan samtycke ska vara straffbar. Sedan dess har det i Sverige livligt debatterats om huruvida domen innebär att den svenska lagenThe sexual offences in Swedish law of today require that the perpetrator has used violence or threats, or that he has exploited a helpless state. However, in 2003 the European Court of Human Rights delivered a judgment in the case of M.C v. Bulgaria, which stated that any non-consensual sexual act must be punishable. There has been a legal discussion in Sweden ever since, regarding whether this ju
Lund's Climate Alliance was initiated 2010 by the municipality of Lund, in southern Sweden, to support local climate adaptation and mitigation efforts. The purpose of this paper is to investigate what each member of Lund's Climate Alliance believes will be necessary to realize sustainability goals particular to their organization in the future. The study thereby points to new topics, activ
Aktuell uppsats undersöker de rättsliga utgångspunkterna och bedömningarna av ett ofrivilligt deltagande i våldtäktsfall där målsäganden har en psykisk funktionsnedsättning. Målsäganden som har psykiska funktionsnedsättningar (i uppsatsen: intellektuell- och neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättningar) har större svårigheter att uttrycka sig och förstå andra människors kommunikationer, vilket gör This essay examines the legal framework and the legal assessments regarding involuntary sexual acts in rape cases when the plaintiff has a mental disability. People with mental disabilities (here: intellectual- and neuropsychological disabilities) have greater difficulties expressing themselves and understanding other people, which puts them at greater risk of being sexually abused. Both Swedis
Enligt svensk rätt omfattas även poliser i tjänst av nödvärnsrätten (24 kap. 1 § brottsbalken), vilket gör att den kan åberopas i de fall där ett polis- ingripande slutat i skottlossning. Vid försvarlighetsbedömningen ska poliser och enskilda utövare av nödvärn granskas enligt samma principer, eftersom polisen rent straffrättsligt ska betraktas som privatperson. Det rättsliga utgångsläget är dock According to Swedish law, police officers and citizens alike have the right to self–defence (Swedish penal code, sec. 24 para. 1). This allows police officers to invoke the justification rule after shooting an attacker during an arrest. When judged, general principles of criminal law are applicable to police officers, and they are supposed to be judged as individuals. This dogmatic essay examines

OBJECTIVE: Radical prostatectomy reduces mortality among patients with localized prostate cancer, however up to 35% of patients will experience biochemical recurrence, often treated with salvage radiotherapy. The objective of the study was to investigate long-term effects of salvage radiotherapy. METHODS: A prospective, controlled, non-randomized trial at 14 Swedish center's including 4,003 patien
Something that all Nordic countries have in common is that journalistic work, popular culture phenomena and public debates resulting in subsequent political initiatives have served as driving forces in the development of academic research on the Holocaust. It is also clear that the field is heavily politicized, imbued with moral questions and highly diversified.The memories of the Holocaust have i
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry biological information from their parent cell to other cells in the body. To intercept and decipher this information necessitates the isolation of EVs from complex backgrounds such as blood or spinal fluid. Acoustic trapping has been previously demonstrated as a promising technique for EV isolation from cell media, blood plasma and urine. The acoustic fields stru
In the plant-based beverage industry, a residue called okara, is generated in large quantities in the liquid-solid separation step. Despite the high nutritional value of okara from soy and oat beverages with respect to fiber and protein content, these residues are generally discarded or used as animal feed or compost. It would be more sustainable to utilize okara for human consumption, however, th
Background: Persons with clinical onset of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) before 65 years of age are diagnosed with early-onset AD (EOAD). The prevalence of EOAD is low, but varies among studies from 6% to 16%. Most individuals with EOAD are still working, have an active social life, and might have children living at home. Therefore, the consequences of being diagnosed early with a disease that implies

This meta-analysis sought to compare the postoperative pancreatic fistula rate after pancreatoenteric anastomosis by trainees or established surgeons. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was perfor
Background: High-circulating level of parathyroid hormone (PTH) is associated with elevated mortality in dialysis patients. The Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy guideline suggests a lower PTH target than other international guidelines; thus, PTH control may differ in Japan compared with other regions, and be associated with mortality. Methods: We analyzed data from hemodialysis patients with
Dagens svenska våldtäktslagstiftning kräver att gärningsmannen använt sig av tvång eller utnyttjande för att straffansvar ska föreligga. Det har ifrågasatts om denna utformning av våldtäktslagstiftningen istället borde ersättas med en bestämmelse där samtycke ges en avgörande betydelse. Med en samtyckesbaserad våldtäktsreglering skulle den utslagsgivande faktorn för om ett brott har begåtts eller The Swedish rape legislation of today uses force as the delineator between non-criminal sex and criminal rape. It has been heavily disputed whether or not the force-based legislation ought to be replaced with the use of consent. In that case, consent or the lack of it would determine what is lawful or unlawful, regardless of any use of force. Despite the fact that the Swedish regulations on sexua
Egyptology in the 19th and early 20th centuries developed simultaneously with increased imperial presence in Egypt by the European imperial powers, which would have influence on how the discipline was practised. The history of Egyptology has for this reason primarily focused on the big four – Great Britain, France, Germany and USA – and on Egypt itself. The aim of this study is to examine how Egyp
