Den här uppsatsen undersöker de avancerade metoder av effektivt innovationsskydd under företagskoncentrationsprövningar som finns i USA och EU. Syftet är att finna synergier mellan dessa två system och föreslå nödvändiga förbättringar av det europeiska systemet genom att introducera innovation som en reell standard för prövning, inkludera dynamisk effektivitet, omstörtande innovation och icke-prisThis thesis analyses advanced methods of effective protection of innovation in merger control in the USA and in the EU, finds synergies between the systems and suggests the necessary improvements of the European system of merger control in high technology markets: introduction of innovation as a real antitrust standard, inclusion of dynamic efficiencies, disruptive innovations and non-price consid

In September of 2017, the Swedish government introduced a proposal for a new Consultation Act that would require the government and other state agencies to consult with the indigenous Sami people on issues of importance to them. The aim of the proposed law is to strengthen and promote the influence of the Sami people over their own affairs. This thesis analyses whether the proposal is in line with

Artikel 101 FEUF förbjuder avtal mellan företag som har till antingen syfte eller resultat att begränsa konkurrens. Syftes- och resultatöverträdelser är alternativa förbudsförutsättningar. Emellertid råder oklarhet kring konceptet syftesöverträdelse samt dess relation till resultatöverträdelser. Denna uppsats ämnar belysa tillämpligheten av konceptet syftesöverträdelse, för att besvara huruvida etArticle 101 TFEU prohibits agreements between undertakings that restrict competition either by object or effect. Restricting competition by object or effect are alternative conditions. Problematically, both the concept of a restriction by object and its relation to restrictions by effect are obscure. The purpose of this thesis is to elucidate the applicability of restrictions by object, in means o

Nationell betygsstatistik visar att elever vars föräldrar inte har en eftergymnasial utbildning tenderar att lämna grundskolan med lägre betyg än elever med akademiskt meriterade föräldrar. Prestationsskillnaderna är stora i alla skolans kärnämnen, men framför allt i svenskämnet (se SIRIS 2020). Därför är syftet med föreliggande studie att undersöka hur svenskämnets läs- och skriv undervisning kanTranslated title: Social background and study performance in the Swedish language subject – a qualitative study of reading and writing instruction for students from non-academic homes English abstract: National grade statistics show that students whose parents do not have a post-secondary education tend to leave compulsory school with lower grades than students with academically qualified parents

This survey studies patterns of states which choose to make use of armed interventions for humanitarian reasons in relation to states that elect not to intervene. This is done by a statistical analysis of five interventions: Iraq 91, Somalia 92, Rwanda 94, East Timor 99 and Libya 11. The analysis is based on theories which intend to explain why states use violence as a po-litical mean. The study f

Markers of mercury (Hg) exposure have shown both positive and negative associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD). We assessed the association between serum Hg (S-Hg) and risk of cardiovascular disease in a prospective population-based cohort, with attention to the roles of dental health and fish consumption. Total mortality, as well as morbidity and mortality from acute myocardial infarction

Popular Abstract in Swedish Åderförkalkning, den i folkmun använda benämningen för ateroskleros, är en sjukdom som de flesta lider av. Vi vet bara inte om det. Ateroskleros ger nämligen sällan symptom innan ett aterosklerotiskt plack (en lokal aterosklerosansamling i kärlväggen) brister och det bildas en blodpropp. Om placket som brister sitter i kärlen som förser hjärtat eller hjärnan med blod kaMyocardial infarction and stroke, mainly caused by a rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque, are two of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity in the world. Previous studies have pointed out inflammation, driven by inflammatory lipids, as the keystone in the formation of the rupture prone vulnerable plaque. The risk for a plaque rupture is greatly enhanced in the diabetic population and i

The exposure to fragrances is widespread and contact allergy to fragrance substances affects 1–4% of the general population. Many fragrance substances are volatile and it can therefore be suspected that they may evaporate from petrolatum patch test preparations applied in test chambers. In the first two papers included in this thesis the aims were to i) to investigate the stability of fragrance pr

A primary functionality of context aware applications is the retrieval of different types of context data from various context sources and adapting their behavior accordingly. In order to facilitate context aware application development, a context aware middleware must provide an effective context data management and lookup strategy. The use of a traditional index for indexing dynamic context data

An unparalleled resolution is reported with an inelastic X-ray scattering instrument at the Cu K-edge. Based on a segmented concave analyzer, featuring single-crystal quartz (SiO2) pixels, the spectrometer delivers a resolution near 25 meV (FWHM) at 8981 eV. Besides the quartz analyzer, the performance of the spectrometer relies on a four-bounce Si(553) high-resolution monochromator and focusing K

Two (Ga,Mn)As samples having different magnetic anisotropy (one with in-plane easy axis and another one with out-of-plane easy axis) were studied by means of magnetotransport experiments. Anisotropy field B-A was determined for both samples as a function of temperature. For the sample having in-plane easy axis, an inversion of the direction of planar Hall effect hysteresis was observed upon increa

Time resolved absorption spectroscopy has been used to study photoinduced electron injection and charge recombination in Zn-porphyrin sensitized nanostructured TiO(2) electrodes. The electron transfer dynamics is correlated to the performance of dye sensitized solar cells based on the same electrodes. We find that the dye/semiconductor binding can be described with a heterogeneous geometry where t

Introduction: In former studies from North America early Do-Not-Resuscitate orders (DNR orders) in patients with intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) had negative prognostic impact on mortality. The influence of DNR orders on functional outcome and whether DNR orders are grounded on relevant patient characteristics is unknown. We aimed to determine the frequency and predictive factors of DNR-orders and

OBJECTIVE: Screening of hypertension has been advocated for early detection and treatment. Severe hypertension (grade 3 hypertension) is a strong predictor for cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to evaluate not only the risk factors for developing severe hypertension, but also the prospective morbidity and mortality risk associated with severe hypertension in a population-based screening and

The deswelling behavior of cross-linked DNA gels reports on DNA-cosolute interactions and gives a basis for the development of responsive DNA formulations. An investigation of the deswelling kinetics shows that an increase in the surfactant tail length gives a pronouncedly slower deswelling kinetics. In the same conditions, single stranded gels exhibited faster deswelling kinetics when compared wi

Organometal halide perovskite-based solar cells have recently been reported to be highly efficient, giving an overall power conversion efficiency of up to 15%. However, much of the fundamental photophysical properties underlying this performance has remained unknown. Here, we apply photoluminescence, transient absorption, time-resolved terahertz and microwave conductivity measurements to determine

High-quality layers of the (Ga,Mn)(Bi,As) quaternary compound semiconductor have been grown by the low-temperature molecular-beam epitaxy technique. An effect of Si incorporation into the (Ga,Mn)As ferromagnetic semiconductor and the post-growth annealing treatment of the layers have been investigated through examination of their magnetic and magneto-transport properties. Significant enhancement o

A newly constructed solid state silicon dose profile detector is characterized concerning its sensitive profile. The use of the MEDIPIX2 sensor system displays an excellent method to align an image of an X-ray slit to a sample under test. The scanning from front to reverse side of the detector, show a decrease in sensitivity of 20%, which indicates a minority charge carrier lifetime of 0.18 ms and
