EU:s konkurrensrätt inom digitala plattformar - En analys av marknadsdefinitionen enligt artikel 102 FEUF och DMA:s grindvaktskriterier

Den digitala marknaden har utvecklat egenskaper som nätverkseffekter, vilket har skapat utmaningar för konkurrensbedömningar. Ett av problemen har varit tillämpningen av artikel 102 FEUF gällande missbruk av dominerande ställning. För att kunna bedöma om ett företag har dominerande ställning krävs först definition av den relevanta marknaden. Denna process har ofta varit komplex. EU har utvecklat eThe digital market has developed characteristics such as network effects, which have created challenges for competition law. One of the problems has been the application of Article 102 TFEU regarding the abuse of dominant position. To identify a dominant position, it is required to first have a definition of the relevant market. This process is often complex. EU has introduced a complementary fram

Economic evaluations of strategies targeting pre-diagnosis dementia populations: Protocol for a systematic review

IntroductionDementia remains incurable, and treatment trials are typically conducted after the symptoms manifest, potentially too late in the disease process to alter its course.

This review aims to scrutinise emerging evidence and presen

Health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements intake via food crops consumption: Monte Carlo simulation-based probabilistic and heavy metal pollution index

The aim of this study is to assess the content of heavy metals and their potential health risk in consumed food crops. To this end, the samples from vegetables, rice, potato, onion, and black tea were derived from high sales and commonly consumed types. The noncarcinogenic health risk of heavy metals to the adults, teens, and children was estimated by target hazard quotients (THQs) and hazard inde

Exploring barriers to effective organisational change using combined approach : Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) and ETHICS (a socio-technical design approach)
