Public procurement - which can shortly be explained with the government's activity of purchasing goods and services - presents one of the largest economic markets in the world, accounting, on average, for 15 per cent of the gross national product (GDP) worldwide. One of the most controversially debated issues regarding public procurement is that of procurement linkages. The questions evolve ar
The transformation within the swedish infrastructure has been a slow process from the beginning of time. For almost a decade, the traditional form of contracting regarding buildings and foremost infrastructure has evolved contracting involving the owner to define the outcome of the product, regardless involvement from the supposed contractor. As for the swedish market, the traditional design-bid-b
A study of heavy metals in surface and groundwater was conducted in Poopó and Antequera River basins in Bolivia. Problems with high levels of heavy metals in waters on the Bolivian high plateau have been known for many years and are to a great extent the cause of the mining industry in the region. In this study, ten sampling sites of surface waters and twelve observation wells monitoring the groun
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of prolonged heat processing (180 min at 50-80 degrees C) on the functional and theological properties of pectin, derived from olive mill wastewater (OMW). It was shown that a low temperature blanching of OMW at 60 degrees C, activates endogenous pectin methyl esterase and promotes demethylation, despite the high concentration of phenols. Activa

Economic sanctions are defined as the exercise of pressure by one state to bring about a change in political behaviour of another state. Traditional economic sanctions are directed at the entire population of the sanctioned country while targeted sanctions are directed at the State’s government and/or individuals. Iran has become a sanction target first in 1979, which was imposed by United States
Eftersom stater i hög grad har misslyckats med att ta den globala uppvärmningen seriöst, har istället privata individer och miljöorganisationer konfronterat dem som bidrar till den. Genom att föra de som släpper ut växthusgaser inför rätta hoppas kärandena kunna stoppa den nuvarande kursen mot förödande klimatförändring. Klimattvister kan rikta sig mot både regeringar och företag, men i just tvistWhere states have failed to take the threat of global warming seriously, private individuals and environmental organizations have confronted those contributing to it. By bringing the emitters to court, litigants all over the world hope to put an end to the current trajectory towards dangerous climate change. Within the field of climate litigation, both governments and corporations are targeted. Th

Muntlig bevisning har länge medfört problem i den svenska hovrätten. När ett mål når den andra instansen har kvaliteten på muntlig bevisning blivit sämre, inte minst på grund av att minnesbilder hos förhörspersoner försvagas med tiden. Trots det har utgångspunkten, allt sedan det muntliga och omedelbara förfarandet introducerades genom 1948 års rättegångsbalk (RB), varit att principen om det bästaOral evidence has caused problems in the Swedish courts of appeals for a long time. When a case reaches the higher court, the quality of oral evidence has deteriorated, primarily because the recollections of witnesses and parties have weakened over time. The starting point has, nevertheless, been that the principle of the best evidence requires renewed questioning of witnesses and parties in the c
Sedan 2001 har EU-domstolen vid upprepade tillfällen framhållit att var och en som har lidit skada som orsakats av en överträdelse av EU:s konkurrensregler ska kunna kräva full ersättning för denna skada. Det har dock visat sig svårt för personer och företag som drabbats av en konkurrensskada att utnyttja denna EU-rättsliga rätt till ersättning. I syfte att främja skadeståndsprocesser baserade på Since 2001 the CJEU has repeatedly stated that, as a matter of EU law, any individual must be able to obtain compensation for harm suffered because of an infringement of EU competition law. As of today, victims of infringements of EU competition law are unable to effectively exercise that EU right. By introducing a Proposal for Directive, the Commission has taken a major step forward in promoting
I denna uppsats utreds frågan om målsäganden borde ges mer bestämmanderätt i åtalsfrågan och möjlighet att bestämma form för konfliktlösningen - traditionell rättegång eller medling. Uppsatsen diskuterar också om målsäganden bör ges mer inflytande över huruvida rättegång ska inledas eller inte, genom att fler brott omvandlas till målsägande- respektive angivelsebrott. Uppsatsen slår fast att en The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether the plaintiff oughts to have a stronger influence on the question of intitation of legal proceedings in a crime case. The thesis also analyses whether the plaintiff should have the possibility to choose in which form the conflict should be solved – through a traditional trial or mediation. Further it discusses if more crimes should be turned into a

Stare decisis is the doctrine whereby judges and courts rely on previous cases to support a current decision. This doctrine has been associated with legal reasoning and with positive outcomes such as continuity, stability and predictability of the legal system . In the EU, the ECJ does not strictly adhere to this doctrine, unlike common-law systems. However, this court seldom depart from its case
Introduction: Understanding symptom patterns in atrial fibrillation (AF) can help in disease management. We report on the application of natural language processing (NLP) to electronic medical records (EMRs) to capture symptom reports in patients with newly diagnosed (incident) AF. Methods and Results: This observational retrospective study included adult patients with an index diagnosis of incide
Abstract The main influences on growing conditions in pastures and hayfields are grazing and mowing, which regulate the species struggle for space and resources. If the management ceases, this will contribute to a change of the vegetation. A succession starts where the plant cover gradually will change according to a specific pattern. After some time a few competitive species, previously disfavou
