Swedish researchers with specific interests in European Market law – IPR, competition and marketing law – join forces to review recent Swedish legislative enactments and case-law developments of particular European interest in national Swedish Courts or the Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”). This volume also includes comments on general EU developments from a Swedish perspective.

The Wall Shear Rate (WSR) represents an important parameter correlated with cardiovascular diseases, like, for example the atherosclerotic plaque formation. The WSR can be obtained as the radial blood velocity gradient assessed in the wall proximity. The WSR is typically approximated by using flow models like Poiseuille and/or Womersley applied to the measured center-line velocity. However these m

The lichenized ascomycete genus Xanthoria (Fr.) Th.Fr. (Teloschistaceae) in continental United States and Canada is revised. The following 15 species are recognized: Xanthoria borealis, X. candelaria, X. concinna, X. elegans, X. fallax, X. fulva, X. hasseana, X. mendozae, X. montana, X. oregana, X. parietina, X. polycarpa, X. sorediata, X. tenax, and X. ulophyllodes. The morphology, anatomy, secon

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be seen as graphene sheets rolled to form cylinders. CNTs may be categorised as single- (SWCNT) or multi-walled (MWCNT). Due to the small size, the number of particles as well as the surface area per mass unit is extremely high. CNTs are highly diverse, differing with respect to e.g., diameter, length, chiral angles, chemical functionalisation, purity, stiffness and bul

The global company operates from a number of locations worldwide, which entails geographical distances and logistical implications for product and parts transported, as well as the choice of product variety because of numerable worldwide consumer preferences. In these companies, packaging becomes a frequently used object to complement product features and achieve an effective and efficient means o

In their natural habitats, bacteria and plants can be exposed to abiotic stresses such as drought, high salt concentrations and freezing, which are factors limiting their capacity for growth and proliferation. To withstand environmental stresses, they have evolved specific stress responses. These responses include physiological adaptations, alterations in gene expression and production of protecti

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inledning: Stroke är en av de största folksjukdomarna. En patient med akut stroke behöver medicinsk omhändertagande vid en vårdenhet med specialkunskap. För att så tidigt som möjligt kunna planera omhändertagande och ta ställning till behandling är tillförlitlig diagnostik i akutskedet viktig. Cirka 20% av patienter med stroke har en blödning. Hjärnblödning diagnosticerPurpose: To compare the visualization of small ischemic brain lesions using diffusion using diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI and conventional imaging, with special regard to diagnostic efficiency. Imaging features of lesions of different ages, diagnostic limitations and technical principles were also investigated. Methods: All studies were performed with the same 1.5 T MR scanner. In the first study t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mitt försöksmaterial utgjordes av Festuca ovina, fårsvingel, som är ett mycket vanligt gräs och tillhör familjen Poaceae. Fårsvingel är en perenn korsbefruktare och spridd över den tempererade zonen i Euroasien och Nordamerika. Släktet Festuca är uppdelat i smalbladiga svinglar, dit fårsvingel hör, och bredbladiga svinglar. Släktet Lolium, dit rajgräsen hör, är en nära Festuca ovina, sheep's fescue is a widely distributed perennial outbreeder that belongs to the grass family Poaceae and is very common in the northern temperate zone. The genus Festuca s.l. is partitioned into fine-leaved fescues to which F. ovina belongs, and broad-leaved fescues to which the genus Lolium is a close relative. Wide crosses within the Festuca-Lolium complex often yield fertile hybr

The objective of this study was to describe environmental barriers and investigate the nature of accessibility problems in housing among single-living, very old people (N = 1,150) in urban regions in three European countries (Sweden, Germany, Latvia), in a one-year perspective. A specific feature of this study is the explicit conceptual differentiation between environmental barriers and accessibil
