Horisontella koncentrationer är idag vanligt förekommande inom näringslivet. EU och Ryssland har i dagsläget olika konkurrenslagstiftning och bedömningsprinciper för horisontella koncentrationer vilket innebär olika förutsättningar för företagen. De europeiska reglerna för horisontella koncentrationer utgår från den nuvarande koncentrationsförordningen. Enligt den måste en horisontell koncentratio

Även om monopol eller en dominerande ställning på marknaden i sig inte anses utgöra ett missbruk i konkurrensrättslig mening, bär ett företag med stark marknadsposition ett särskilt ansvar för att inte begå konkurrensbegränsande handlingar. När konkurrensrätten ingriper i ett dominerande förtags handlingar bör så ske med åtanke av de underliggande överväganden som ligger till grund för konkurrensrEven though competition law will not regard dominance and monopoly as abusive per se, an undertaking with strong market power carries a certain responsibility not to engage in anti- competitive conducts on the market. When competition law is interfering in the conducts of dominators, it is important to take into account the underlying considerations of, on one hand, preservation of efficient compe

Anställningsförhållandet grundas på ett personligt förhållande och präglas av ett starkt behov av förtroende. I bestående anställningsavtal skall arbetstagaren i stort sett sätta arbetsgivarens intresse framför sitt eget. Vilken skyldighet har emellertid arbetstagare att iaktta arbetsgivarens intresse vid ingående av anställningsavtalet? Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att utreda i vilken utstrWhen entering into a contract it is important to maintain a certain grade of honesty and loyalty. Not only is it wrong to deceive a party in order to reach a beneficial agreement, it is in certain cases also contrary to good faith and fair dealing to leave a mistaken party in error. The law therefore imposes a duty of disclosure that requires a party to reveal all matters known, in its entirety, t

Recent development of case law emphasises the need to strike a fair balance between intellectual property rights and other fundamental rights. In theory, balancing of various fundamental rights is not a new concept. However, in practice, striking a fair balance between intellectual property rights and other fundamental rights is quite a new and problematic issue due to digitalisation, which has cr

In this paper, we delve into the evolutionary foundation of both probability weighting and hyperbolic discounting. It is argued that it is evolution which selects between various kinds of people those who have the optimal preference profile. As such, utility functions and behavioural biases can be explained from an evolutionary perspective. It is also argued that there may be an intimate connectio

In July 2011 a new education act came into effect in Sweden. The law consists of, among other things, a paragraph stating that all students must have access to school libraries. After the law was put in place a big debate was started based on differences in the interpretation of the law and different opinions about the role of the school library. The debate has also focused on the big differences

The international law of the sea has its roots in Roman law embedded in the ancient doctrines of res communis and res nullius. The law came from custom and practice and was transformed into customary law periodically confirmed and consolidated by fundamental doctrines such as mare liberum or freedom of the seas enunciated by Hugo Grotius in the 1500s and eventually by the doctrine of common herita

Jonason och Webster (2011) fann att narcissism är relaterat till särskilda taktiker för att påverka andra människors beteenden. Denna studie undersöker det omvända förhållandet: vad lockar narcissister att hjälpa andra? 41 studenter fyllde i Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI; Raskin & Terry, 1988), varpå de tittade på ett videoklipp föreställande en person som tyst tittar in i kameran.

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Pigmentering är en viktig funktion hos alla djurgrupper, exempelvis; som skydd mot UV-strålning, för kommunikation mellan artfränder och som kamouflage. Det fossila arkivet har gett upphov till en mängd fåglar och insekter med olika färgskiftningar. Men frågan är huruvida pigment och strukturella färger kan förbli intakta över miljontals år. Färg är en konsekvenPigmentation is important in all animals and plants, e.g., for protection against radiation, for signalling and as camouflage. The fossil record contains both colourful bird feathers and insect cuticles. The question is if original pigments and colours can be spared from diagenetic alteration through millions of years. This study uses SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and EDX (energy dispersive X
