International actors can use IFIs in numerous ways to enhance their position in the world system. For instance, they can be used as a vehicle to launder st

The rate of migration and accretion onto protoplanets is greatly influenced by the structure of the surrounding protoplanetary disc. This structure changes with time as the disc evolves on a million year timescale, implying that the process of planet formation might look very different depending on when it was initiated. Further on, the evolution of the disc structure is affected on smaller timesc

True geese are members of the bird family Anatidae which contain many waterfowl spe-cies with high relevance as natural hosts of Avian Influenza Virus (AIV). The closely re-lated mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) is the main host of AIV and has a robust immune sys-tem which is also the best understood among the Anatidae. Previous studies have shown that some species of geese are more susceptible to AIV

Mot bakgrund av utvecklingen på bostadsmarknaden under senare år har det blivit uppenbart att konsumentskyddet vid köp av nyproducerade bostadsrätter är otillräckligt.

Under det senaste decenniet har rättsstatens ställning som ett värde av grundläggande vikt för EU-rätten ifrågasatts genom den politiska utvecklingen i vissa medlemsstater. Särskilt i Polen och Ungern går det att se hur centraladelar av statsmakten har nedmonterats. År 2021 införde EU en villkorlighetsmekanism, som ger EU:s institutioner befogenhet att hålla inne budgetåtaganden till medlemsländerOver the last decade, the status of the rule of law as a foundational value of the EU legal order has been questioned by the political developments in certain EU member states. Particularly Poland and Hungary have seen a rapid dismantling of central state institutions, in a process which has become known as rule of law backsliding. In 2021, the EU legislator introduced a new mechanism to counter t

Fenomenet aberratio ictus har länge varit föremål för diskussioner inom straffrätten. Ett vanligt förekommande exempel på fenomenet är när personen A försöker mörda personen B, men av misstag berövar livet på personen C. Detta väcker frågan avseende hur A:s ansvar ska bedömas? I skrivande stund finns inget vägledande avgörande från HD gällande hur problematiken ska hanteras. Inte heller är doktrinThe phenomenon known as aberratio ictus has long been a point of discussion in criminal law. A commonly used illustration of the phenomenon is when person A tries to murder person B, but accidentally deprives the life of person C. The question that arises from this scenario is how to judge A’s responsibility? As of writing this, there is no case law from the Supreme Court regarding how to solve th
