Behövs kemiska bekämpningsmedel inom jordbruket? I Sverige finns ekologiska jordbruk, detta betyder bland annat att kemiska bekämpningsmedel inte används för att bespruta grödorna inom dessa jordbruk.

För att unChemical pesticides have long been used to keep crops free from pests, but in modern agriculture biological control is viewed as a viable alternative to pesticides. The concept of biological control is to implement predators that feed upon the pests. It can however be difficult to follow the effects of the biological control in the field, which is why a theoretical mathematical model has been desi

Huvudregeln vid patenträttsliga intrångstvister är att käranden ska visa att svarandens agerande innefattar ett immaterialrättsintrång. I mål om intrång i förfarandepatent uppkommer en viss bevisproblematik.

In the case of infringement of method patents, a certain evidentiary problem arises. In these cases, it is common for defendant to claim that a seemingly imitated product was created with a procedure other than the patented one without being able or willing, wi

When does the mind begin? Infant psychology is mysterious in part because we cannot remember our first months of life, nor can we directly communicate with infants. Even more speculative is the possibility of mental life prior to birth. The question of when consciousness, or subjective experience, begins in human development thus remains incompletely answered, though boundaries can be set using cu

And yet, understanding the historical emergence of sovereignty in international relations has long been curtailed by the all-encompassing myth of the Peace of Westphalia. While criticism of this myth has opened space for further historical inquiry in recent years, it has also raised important q

The long-standing presumption in Western thought has been that vision and audition are more objective than the other senses, serving as the basis of knowledge and understanding, whereas touch, taste, and smell are crude and of
