Den som förhandlar gör det på egen risk. Det är åtminstone utgångspunkten i den svenska rätten. En förhandlande part som drar på sig kostnader i tron om att ett framtida avtal är säkrat, kan inte räkna med att motparten ska ersätta dessa kostnader ifall affären sedan spricker. Grundregeln är dock inte helt tillfredsställande och sedan länge har man sett nyttan i att stävja illojala beteenden där pThe one who negotiates should be prepared to bear one’s own costs if the parties fail to produce an agreement. At least that is the general principle in Swedish law. As a party in a negotiation one can not presume to get compensation from the counter-party if the deal is off. Though, this principle is not quite satisfying and the law must find a way to restrain parties from acting disloyal in nego

Många forskare anser att domstolen i Pinnstolsfallet påverkades av den samhällsdebatt som tog fart efter domen i Lindomefallet. I ifrågavarande fall friades två män från ansvar för mord efter att ha skyllt på varandra och det inte gick att bevisa vem som talade sanning. I Pinnstolsfallet å andra sidan dömde domstolen två män för dråp i, vad som verkade vara, utvidgat medgärningsmannaskap. Det utSeveral legal scholars believe that the court in the case of the wooden chair (“Pinnstolsfallet”) was influenced by the public debate that took off after the judicial decision in the case of Lindome (“Lindomefallet”). In the case in question two men were found not guilty of murder after their objections that the other one was the guilty one. In the case of the wooden chair the court found two men

This thesis deals with the vast number of rapes that have been conducted in DRC (the Democratic Republic of Congo) since the outbreak of war in ’98. To do this I have used a comparative case approach where I have compared the DRC military with the UN’s peacekeeping forces in DRC. I have done this through content analysis, and I have analyzed studies and reports from my two different cases. By usin

Prehistorical musical instruments have been explored in archaeology more systematically since the 1970s when music archaeology was established as a field of study. The new awareness initially led to studies centred on retrieving musical instruments that had been missed and were now lost in archives. New discoveries, too, are very object-oriented. This master’s thesis ties together individual finds

The purpose of this thesis was to explore the sustainability of a renewable village grid micro hydropower project in the Murung Raya district of Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, according to indicators for five dimensions of sustainability: economic, environmental, social, technical, and institutional. The theoretical discussion and subsequent analytical framework are rooted in dimensions o

When the international monetary system was on the gold standard, China was the only country adhered to the silver standard. Silver functioned as currency in China but acted as commodity in international markets. Its price experienced downturn trend from 57 cents per ounce in January 1929 to 23.38 ounces per ounce in January 1933. Then it increased to 75 cents per ounce in May 1935. Dramatic fluctu

The cumulative growth that the market of automobiles has seen since the end of the second world war, has had a major impact on both the way we plan our societies and in the way we live our lives. In Sweden from 1950 to 1960, car-ownership increased five-fold, making it the most car-dense country in Europe at the time – bringing along with it major car-centric urban renewal schemes, such as ‘Norrma

Denna uppsats ämnar att kasta ljus över humanitära interventioner och huruvida de är lagliga enligt folkrätten idag samt om deras rättsliga ställning är på väg att förändras i framtiden. Fokus i uppsatsen ligger på den humanitära krisen i Syrien och hur de rättsliga övervägandena såg ut för en humanitär intervention där, samt vad som blev implikationerna för den gällande rätten efter denna kris. UThis essay seeks to shed some light on the concept of humanitarian intervention and whether it is considered legal or not in international law. Furthermore, the concept of humanitarian intervention is discussed in a developmental perspective, where the current regulation of humanitarian intervention is analysed and suggestions are presented for what might be the future for the concept. The essay f

Understanding to what extent phenotypes vary in their physiological traits and their associations to life-history strategies may help to better understand how animals are adapted to their environment and how they can cope with changing conditions. Melanin-based colour polymorphism is a phenotypic trait closely associated with physiological characteristics and fitness, which in tawny owls (Strix al

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Världens hav är av största betydelse för jordens klimat. Totalt är 71 % av jordens yta täckt av vatten. Den mesta av den inkommande solstrålningen, som når jordens yta, upptas av haven. Havens värmekapacitet och cirkulation medför att de både kan lagra och transportera denna värme, innan den återgår till atmosfären och strålar tillbaka ut i rymden. Den termohaThe world ocean is of great importance for the Earth’s climate system, and affects climate in a number of ways. Approximately 71 % of the Earth’s surface is covered by oceans. Most of the solar radiation is received by the ocean. The heat capacity and circulation of the ocean makes it possible to both store and redistribute this heat before it returns to the atmosphere and radiates back into space

The purpose of this report is to investigate the implications of installing sprinkler systems in ceilings with a ceiling slope exceeding the maximum permitted by NFPA 13, being 9.5 ° or 18.44 ° depending on the type of sprinkler system. The objective of the report is to present a comparison and analysis of sprinkler activation times and patterns for sprinkler systems installed in ceilings with dif

The flow of information must be more effective to optimize and improve the supply chain process. For the two case studies, there is a portal that manages the information. The contractor provides documents that the provider needs to submit quotation for a project purchase. All the handling of documents is made in the portal but the quote is sent by e-mail back to the contractor. For a purchase by c

When measuring the production rates of heat and smoke of upholstered furniture the ignition source must not influence the test results. In this paper variations in the strength, application time and geometry of the ignition burner used in the furniture calorimeter are studied. Results from replicate furniture calorimeter chair test show that the burning behaviour is almost independent of the burne

Total and cause specific mortality and cancer morbidity were studied among 1929 asbestos cement workers with an estimated median cumulative exposure of 2.3 fibre (f)-years/ml (median intensity 1.2 f/ml, predominantly chrysotile). A local reference cohort of 1233 industrial workers and non-case referents from the exposed cohort were used for comparisons. The risk for pleural mesothelioma was signif

The arctic fox Alopex lugopus excavates its dens in gravely ridges and hillocks, and creates a local environment quite distinct from the surrounding tundra or heath landscape. In northern Sweden, the vegetation of 18 dens of the arctic fox was investigated, as well as reference areas off the dens but in geologically and topographically similar locations. The species composition showed considerable

The effects of two sympathomimetic drugs on mucociliary activity and mucosal blood flow in the rabbit maxillary sinus were investigated by using a photo-electric technique (mucociliary activity) and laser Doppler flowmetry (blood flow). The responses produced were compared with effects of ligation of the external carotid artery. The alpha 1-agonist phenylpropanolamine (0.1-100 micrograms/kg) had n

Aims. "Earthshine" is the dim light seen on the otherwise dark side of the Moon, particularly when it is close to new. "Earthlight", or reflected sunlight from the Earth, is the source of Earthshine. Using B and V band CCD images of both the dark and bright sides of the Moon, we aim to estimate the Johnson photometry B V colour of the Earthshine for the first time since the late 1960s. From these
