The failing firm doctrine (FFD) has been firstly enounced 1921 in case International Shoe Co v FTC. The key case in EU is Kali where the Commission has discussed the concept of FFD in depth. The Commission has established that FFD is not the rule but the exception from the rule that horizontal mergers are harmful for the competition. The binding Acts in the field of Merger Control are EU Regulatio
Background: In order to diagnose children with ADHD, the DSM-IV measures inattention (IA) and hyperactivity/impulsivity (HI) behavior in the context of significant impairment social and academic function. In order to diagnose, symptoms must be present in two different setting, which is commonly established in terms of home and school behaviors with the help of parent and teacher reports. Previous
Depth map cameras provide new ways of designing surveillance systems. In this thesis we evaluate three different cameras from two different depth sensor techniques, and propose a complete method for detecting thefts over a counter in a retail environment. Our algorithm covers pre-processing with noise reduction and background segmentation using the reflected signals amplitude as a confidence measu
Problem: Why are not existing energy efficient techniques utilized? Which aspects influence the decision? Is the decision-making-process in need of a complementary tool for energy efficiency-profitability calculating? Purpose: The primary purpose of this report is to examine the critical elements of the decisions making process concerning energy efficient investments. The secondary purpose of this
The majority of the current 3GPP and M2M networks use or will use IPv6 for accessing the internet. These IPv6 networks use Neighbor Discovery as defined in RFC 4861 to identify their neighbors on the link and see if they are active. The increase in the complexity of wireless networks and introduction of battery operated devices sets forth notable challenges to certain assumptions in the RFC 4861.
Advance pricing arrangement (“APA”) becomes a common tool to attract foreign investors to carry out their business in the Member States’ territory. The advantage of APA which providing legitimate expectations to the taxpayers is one of the reasons of why the companies file an APA request to the tax authorities. However, APAs are not free from issues or problems arose, especially in relation to t
Even though standards have beneficial effects in the network-dependent information and communication technologies industry, they also bring along competition law concerns, especially since they are based on patent-protected technologies. In those circumstances, owners of standard essential patents (“SEPs”) in fact control access to the market. Competition authorities have thus turned their attenti
Currently, policy makers put high attention in supplying global energy demand by focusing on 2°C policy; global temperature anomaly based on the global mean temperature of pre-industrial era (13.7°C). How to keep the 2°C policy at global scope is the main question in climate framework. It is widely believed that primary energy resources (mainly coal, oil and natural gas) with focus on shale gas re
Denna studie har utforskat chefers erfarenheter av att arbeta med suicidprevention ur ett ledarskapsperspektiv. Detta gjordes inom ramen för den psykiatriska slutenvården. Fem enhetschefer intervjuades med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Data analyserades med en förkortad version av grundad teori och guidades delvis av tidigare teori. Resultaten visade att enhetscheferna uppvisade olika ledarskapsbeThis study explores leaders’ experience of working with suicide prevention within a mental healthcare setting. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with five healthcare unit managers. The data was analyzed using a shortened version of grounded theory and partially with the support of pre-existing theories. The results showed that the managers displayed a wide variety of leadership
Background and Objectives: This project explored the needs of art galleries and collectors for Digital Asset Management Systems (DAMS), in order to fill an existing knowledge gap and help companies to analyse these needs. Bespoken difficulties in the field significantly challenge the development of DAMS and have thus also hampered the evolvement of high-quality systems for the art market. There se
My intention in this thesis is to analyze the Second Vatican Council’s understanding of divine revelation christologically. Within the frame of this analysis, I further wish to examine the hypothesis that the post-conciliar concept of revelation holds a constructive potential applicable within Swedish theological discourse. As a result of this, the following main question, enabling a christologica
The electron-ion scattering experiment ELISe is part of the installations envisaged at the new experimental storage ring at the International Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany. It offers an unique opportunity to use electrons as probe in investigations of the structure of exotic nuclei. The conceptual design and the scientific challenges of ELISe are presented.
Although the visual flight control strategies of flying insects have evolved to cope with the complexity of the natural world, studies investigating this behaviour have typically been performed indoors using simplified two-dimensional artificial visual stimuli. How well do the results from these studies reflect the natural behaviour of flying insects considering the radical differences in contrast
Despite the importance of both response probability and response time for testing models of choice there is a dearth of chronometric studies examining systematic asymmetries that occur over time- and space-orders in the method of paired comparisons. In this study, systematic asymmetries in discriminating the magnitude of paired visual stimuli are examined by way of log-odds ratios of binary respon
Context and Objective: Intraportal islet transplantation can restore insulin production in type 1 diabetes patients, but its effect is subject to several interfering processes. To assess the influence of beta-cell loss before and during engraftment, we searched for a real-time marker of beta-cell destruction. Previous studies showed that 65-kDa isoform of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD65) is dischar
Power and energy consumption, today essential in all types of systems, can be reduced by scaling the voltage/frequency at runtime and/or powering down idle components. Efficient management requires not only pertinent decisions, but also early access to workload information, as well as domain specific solutions. This paper focuses on runtime energy management for streaming applications running on m
We consider the problem of describing the correlation between two compositions. Using a bicompositional Dirichlet distribution, we calculate a joint correlation coefficient, based on the concept of information gain, between two compositions. Numerical values of the joint correlation coefficient are calculated for compositions of two and three components. We also present an estimator of the joint c
