Ekonomiska verktyg för bevisning, exempelvis SSNIP-testet, kan utgöra problem inom konkurrensrätten då ekonomer har mindre förståelse för juridik och jurister har mindre förståelse för ekonomi. Konkurrensrätt är ett ämne som starkt präglas av ekonomisk bevisning på grund av ämnets ekonomiska natur. Det är därav av värde att beskriva och analysera förutsättningarna och gränserna för när SSNIP-testeEconomic evidence tools, such as the SSNIP-test, can pose practical problems in competition law since economists have little understanding of the law and lawyers have little understanding of economics.

Bakgrund: Mellan 10 och 27% av intensivvårdspatienterna överlever IVA men dör innan de blir utskrivna från sjukhuset. Några av dessa dödsfall kan undvikas. Patienter som skrivs ut för tidigt från IVA kännetecknas av sårbarhet och hjälplöshet då de inte är tillräckligt förberedda inför omständigheterna på en vårdavdelning vilket både försvårar och förlänger återhämtningsprocessen. Syftet: Syftet me

The spread of exotic trees in urban sites negatively affect the distribution of native trees and thereby insects. Herbivorous insects are highly dependent on native trees as a host and for providing nutrition. Any impact on the distribution of native trees will hence potentially also alter the insect abundance a
