I find the concept ''centre of main interests'' interesting, since it is a new concept and a key element in the Regulation. It determines applicability of the Regulation - it is only applicable if the centre is situated within the Community (see 4.1 The Objective and Scope). It is decisive for jurisdiction regarding main proceedings (see 5 The Centre of Main Interessts) and decisiv

The Nisga'a Final Agreement (NFA) is a legal agreement between the Nisga'a Nation of the Nass Valley, the government of British Columbia and the Canadian government. For the Nisga'a it is the culmination of over a 100 years of efforts to arrive at a mutually agreeable legal framework of land ownership, resource management and self-government. This paper evaluates the Nisga'a Final

This paper will begin on the premise that international human rights law provides an efficient framework and a good forum to address issues of social and economic justice in a comprehensive and holistic manner, in the first place. Secondly, that this immense potential is under utilised because international and regional forums are inaccessible to the people whom they have been set up to protect. T

The problems faced by children trafficked for Domestic Work seems to be a continuing problem. Whereas states have ratified the various conventions aimed at protecting children in this field, the problem persists. Trafficking of children is usually portrayed in a way that most times&semic the children are trafficked across borders from country to country for purposes of being economically explo

Today the practice of torture around the world continues being widespread and rampant and Latin America is not far from that reality. Although, many countries in Latin America have overcome civil wars and authoritarian governments that used torture as a means to silence the disagreements of political opponents or to fight against the enemies of the State, the practice of torture continues being pa

Although direct taxation falls under the sovereignty of each individual Member State, that sovereignty must be practiced with respect for community legislation and the EC Treaty. National legislation that in any way hinders the freedoms guaranteed by the Treaty or discourages nationals of a Member State to practice those freedoms is infringing the EC Treaty and is not to be tolerated. The number o

Problem definition Sustainability in fashion is one of tomorrow’s most important focuses but is not yet fully established in the industry, neither from the side of the business nor the customer. Customers’ statements tend to show an interest of sustainable fashion, but it is not quite so visible in the sales shares related to sustainable fashion products, which in turn can make sustainable fashion

This thesis investigates the importance of scale for power dynamics in the negotiation of risks connect-ed to Urban Rivers in Nairobi, Kenya. In addition to unequal distribution of wealth, global inequalities in the distribution of risk become increasingly important. Scale as a significant dimension of inequality is discussed in the context of Nairobi’s urban, as water scarcity and flooding events

This paper examines the impact of foreign capital inflows on economic growth and self-employment in Ethiopia; using self-employment as a proxy for poverty reduction. It employs a descriptive statistics in the first part and Granger causality Wald tests in the second part. In the first part, 1961 to 2010, the findings indicate that there is an increase in the average growth rates, especially in the

Chronic kidney disease is becoming an increasingly common illness.The medical background for this thesis comes from the prediction that frequent monitoring of body parameters may help prevent progression of the disease. For other chronic diseases other parameters are interesting to monitor and the need is typically dynamic. This thesis presents a solution for dynamic installation of Bluetooth low

This thesis was carried out at the Division of Combustion Engines within the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University in collaboration with SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden. The thesis was part of a project funded by the FFI program of VINNOVA, with the goal of creating a standardized test method when it comes to fire detection systems mounted in engine compartments of heavy vehicles. As

Data from p–Pb collisions reconstructed with the ALICE experiment at √s = 5.02 TeV is analyzed to study J/Ψ production (a possible Quark Gluon Plasma signal) in different pT ranges. Results obtained by studying the invariant mass distribution via the dielectron decay channel show a significant J/Ψ yield from approximately pT > 2 GeV/c with statistics up to about 10 GeV/c. The signal is observed via

Justice, in the broadest sense of equality and fairness, is a cornerstone aspect of our abilities, as human beings, to lead individual lives in the way we choose according to what we see as the right or the good way to live. A catalyst for any debate over a theory of justice, Immanuel Kant’s work provides a fundamental basis from which we should begin to understand why society, with justice as a k

The aim of the study was to examine social work with female victims of intimate partner violence in a slum in Argentina. The resources available and the methods used by the participants were studied. Feminist theory was used to analyse the hierarchal order in the society and an intersectional perspective was applied to the situation of the victims. Empowerment theory was applied on the working met
