The case Micula gave people the impression that EU law and ICSID arbitration law are incompatible legal orders, unable to accept each other’s dissenting opinions. Every ICSID tribunal decision in the field seems to cause heavy defence reactions in the EU legal system. However, this clearly does not have to be the case if all parties involved behave cautiously. This thesis will analyse in detail

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om det finns en korrelation mellan musikpreferens och specifika personlighetsdrag samt se huruvida de resultat som tidigare forskning har uppvisat inom ämnet kan generaliseras på en svensk population. För att ta reda på detta fick 134 deltagare fylla i ett online-frågeformulär bestående av enkäterna STOMP (the Short Test Of Musical Preferences) och BFI (thThe purpose of the present study was to examine if there is a correlation between music preference and specific personality traits and furthermore whether the results from previous research may be generalized in a Swedish population. In order to measure musical preference and personality 134 participants filled out an online questionnaire consisting of the surveys STOMP (the Short Test Of Musical

En bergochdalbana av känslor kan uppstå och föräldrarna är ofta i behov av sjuksköterskans stöd för att hantera situationen. Syftet med föreliggande litteraturstudie är att beskriva föräldrars upplevelser av vården av deras prematura barn. De 12 inkluderade kvalitativa studierna r

This work evaluates the personal safety in case of a fire in Halmstad Arena hall D, an ice rink which is also used for exhibitions during the summer. Simulations and calculations were performed on possible design fires based on information given by an on-site visit and given design drawings. Solutions were discussed and conclusions drawn to increase the maximum number of people allowed in the buil

The case company in this paper absorbs great amounts of knowledge from their customers. The abundance of absorbed knowledge creates a need for prioritization, which has not yet been recognized within absorptive capacity literature. In the case company however, knowledge is not strictly prioritized in one or the other way, due to different influencing factors. New product development literature has

This bachelor thesis has studied the established routines and procedures among protection and support for children after visiting a "Barnahus". The purpose of a "Barnahus" is to develop effective investigations based on the suspicion that a child is or have been harmed. In addition, "Barnahus'" should also provide protection and support to the child in case of a l

I den här uppsatsen lyfts synen på föräldraskap och familjebildning i det samtida Sverige. Med fokus på den nya lagstiftningen om assisterad befruktning för ensamstående syftar uppsatsen till att klarlägga rådande normer kring moderskap, faderskap och familjepraktiker. Vidare utforskas på vilket sätt lagstiftningen är del i samhällets förändrade syn på familjebildning. Studien är en diskursanalys

The main goal of this thesis is to show how operational risk can be measured if even the use of standard extreme value theory fails to explain single catastrophic events in the tail of the distribution. Against the background of regulatory requirements imposed by the Basel Accords, an Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) is developed for a dataset of operational losses occurred in US businesses bet

This paper examines export diversification with main focus on the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), a union promoting economic integration in the region of West Africa. The West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), another Regional Integration Agreement (RIA), is also of main importance for the study. The study was conducted in order to determine whether ECOWAS and WAEMU,

In this paper I explore the visual literacy of images produced by nanoscopes picturing objects the naked eye cannot see. In the first part of the paper I introduce three nanoscopical images supposed to be read without knowing what they are picturing, and how they are produced. Visual literacy and exosomatic vision are introduced and used to open for a discussion whether the images are read or obse

Framplockning av tidigare inlärda minnen har visat sig hämma framplockningen av konkurrerande minnen, då dessa interfererar med varandra. Denna företeelse kallad framplockningsinducerad glömska (eng, retrieval-induced forgetting, RIF), tros bero på en inhibitorisk kontrollmekanism som aktiveras för att försvåra framplockningen av irrelevanta konkurrerande minnen. Inhibitionen av irrelevanta minnenRetrieval of previous memories has been shown to inhibit retrieval of competitive memories. This phenomenon often referred to as retrieval-induced forgetting, is believed to occur because of an inhibitory control mechanism which is activated in order to obstruct the retrieval of non relevant competitive memories. Inhibition of irrelevant memories thus facilitates retrieval of the specific memory y

Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to explore how the ownership transfer from a developed country to a developing country influences consumers’ perception of the brand. Design/methodology/approach: After the extensive review of the literature about the concept of country of origin and brand image, three premium automobile brand acquisition cases (Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo) were investigated.

The energy demand of the world continues to increase, while world's resources are exploited over its capacity. One way of facing these demands is to extend the use of fuel cells. A fuel cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy through a series of chemical and electrochemical reactions. A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is unique since it only contains solid materials and the cell has

ERP-implementationer är ett vanligt förekommande fenomen då företag strävar efter effektivare arbetsprocesser. Som ett verktyg för att öka chansen av en framgångsrik ERP-implementation har användandet av Critical Success Factors (CSFs) fötts. Trots den mängd kunskap som finns i området överskrider 90 % av budget och/eller tidsram. Av den anledningen har det framförts en del kritik mot CSFs där for

Syftet med denna uppsats var att bland niondeklassare i tre skånska städer utforska och jämföra hur tjejer och killar uppfattar händelser som kan definieras som sexuella trakasserier, utförda gentemot sig själva och andra i skolmiljön, och deras erfarenheter av dessa. En kvantitativ metod användes för att undersöka de två hypoteserna som lyder: de som identifierar sig som tjejer uppmärksammar flerThe aim of this study was to investigate and compare the way girls and boys in the ninth grade of Swedish compulsory school in three cities in Skåne county, perceive events in their school environment that can be defined as sexual harassments, where either themselves or others were subjected to these harassments and their experiences of said events. A quantitative method was used in order to exami

Sen den 1:a januari 2015 regleras för första gången innehållet i exploateringsavtal i Plan och bygglagens 6 kap 40 §. Hur paragrafen ska tolkas och tillämpas i praktiken råder det stor oklarhet kring. I arbetet utreds hur paragrafen ska tolkas, med fokus på vad som är ”nödvändiga åtgärder” för genomförandet av en detaljplan samt vad som är ett ”rimligt förhållande” mellan en exploatörs åtaganden oSweden’s Planning and Building Act has been updated several times since it was introduced, and the most recent updates entered into force on 1st January 2015. One of the changes is that for the first time, in the 6th chapter 40th section, the contents of land development agreements are regulated in law. However, how the new law section shall be interpreted and used in practice is unclear. This mas
