The aim of this research paper is to explore how, and to what extent, the WIPO Marrakesh Treaty addresses the issue of restricted access to copyrighted materials by persons with visual impairments while securing legitimate interests and human rights of the central stakeholders; specifically, copyright rightholders and persons with visual impairments. In doing so, the focus centres on the compromis

Social kompetens har blivit ett frekvent använt begrepp de senaste tjugo åren av både arbetsgivare och rekryterare i urvalet av ny personal. Platsannonser fokuserar mer än någonsin på individens personliga egenskaper och hennes sätt att agera. Så har inte arbetskraven alltid sett ut och i och med denna uppsats vill jag därför studera de förändringar som skett både på organisatorisk och samhällelig

Since opening up their economy Chinese ODIs has started to be a large part of the country’s economic development. In recent years the share of ODI from China into the EU has increased dramatically. In this paper, an empirical estimation on the determinants of Chinese ODIs in EU is made. The date used for calculations are collected from different databases at the World Bank as well as at the Minist

Psychologists have until lately been rather likeminded when it comes to how the human brain is interpreting and processing different types of information. We react in certain ways when exposed to certain information but considering those reactions stem from experiments mainly conducted on Americans is not something that is considered to be of importance. Whereas these statements tend to hold true

Traditional basal-bolus and closed-loop artificial pancreas therapy for type 1 diabetes mellitus were studied in the present work and novel insulin delivery profiles have been identified. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition resulting from autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic insulin producing β-cells. Inadequate insulin secretion prevents efficient glucose metabolism and is a serious health

This qualitative study is based on interviews with four different voluntary workers. The focus on this study is young voluntary workers inside the organization TAMAM. TAMAM is a voluntary organization with a focus on helping children with their homework, but also bounding relationships between children with different backgrounds. The main goal with this study was to find out how young voluntary wo

Timer options are relatively new exotic options with the feature that they expire as soon as the accumulated realized variance exceeds a predefined level. This construction leads to a random time to maturity instead of having a fixed exercise day. As shown by Bernard an Cui [7], Timer options can be priced by solving a partial differential equation or by time-changing the stock price process and t

In this thesis we theoretically investigate quantum correlations and entanglement of electron scatterers through two coupled quantum dots (QDs). The interaction is described in terms of two-particle collisions modeled by two-particle scattering matrix. The correlation between the two dots is expressed in terms of density-of-states matrices. Wave packets are introduced into each system and for the

I uppsatsen behandlas unionsrättens påverkan på EU:s medlemsstaters inkomstskatteregler. De nationella inkomstskattelagstiftningarna får inte strida mot den fria rörligheten stadgad i EUF-fördraget, vilket gör att unionsrätten har stor påverkan på den direkta beskattningen även om den direkta beskattningen till största delen inte är harmoniserad. En medlemsstat får således inte utforma sin nationeThis thesis focuses on the impact of EU law on national direct taxation. National income tax rules may not restrict the free movement of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). This means that EU law has a considerable impact on national legislation in this area, even if the member states for the most part have retained their competence to legislate. A member state may, therefo

Green entrepreneurship – technological eco–innovations and ecopreneurs’ acts – has recently received much attention from European policymakers as one promising response to the challenges of sustainable economic development due to its potential to catalyze and build a low–carbon or green economy. This topical relationship between green entrepreneurship and sustainable economy has also gained increa

There is a constant need for the fire and rescue service to develop new methods, materials and extinguishing media to implement the most effective firefighting operations as possible while minimizing environmental impacts. The effect of additives in the extinguishing water is fairly unknown. In this report small-scale experiments shows that additives and fire retardants can provide a significant i

This Master Thesis contains the first stages of the development process of a system to study human gait presenting a final concepts. Moreover, the Master Thesis covers the vibration analysis of a real prototype based on the concepts presented. For the development of this project, there were almost no restrictions or guidelines. Hence, it was necessary a previous process of investigation and re

Utifrån Gagnon och Simons teori om sexuella script samt ett intersektionellt perspektiv så analyseras sex och sexualitet i sex romaner inom romantisk fiktion.

Violence against children occurs worldwide despite explicit prohibitions. In Article 19 in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child there is a prohibition against physical and psychological violence towards children. States shall take all appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures to protect the child. According to Article 23 (4) the convention state

Grooming är en systematisk process, som för det första kränker barn och för det andra möjliggör att barn kan utsättas för fysiska övergrepp. Barn blir lurade särskilt av gärningsmän då de inte har samma skyddsmekanismer och riskmedvetande som en vuxen person. Kommunikationsteknologins framväxt under 2000-talet har utökat möjligheterna för vuxna som vill ta kontakt med barn i sexuellt syfte. År 200Grooming is a systematic process, which firstly violates children, and secondly enables children to be subjected to physical forms of abuse. Children are deceived especially as they lack the same psychological safety mechanisms and risk awareness as that of an adult. The growth of communications technology during the 21st century has increased the possibilities for adults that seek contact with ch

County museums were for a long time one of the main actors in Swedish cultural resource management (CRM) archaeology. In the late 1990s, however, Swedish CRM archaeology faced a new system: a tender-alike procedure. The introduction of competition into CRM archaeology has produced a series of positive, as well as a series of negative, consequences. One effect is that several county museums have ce

Vid sidan av civilprocess och skiljeförfarande kan kommersiella parter av-tala om att en tvist dem emellan ska avgöras av en inhyrd konsult. Om tvis-ten genomförs som att judiciellt förfarande benämns förfarandet i den här uppsatsen privatdomarförfarande. Konsulten benämns privatdomare. I civilprocessen och i skiljeförfarandet kräver lagregler att en part ska ha möjlighet att få uttala sig innan Instead of using litigation or arbitration, commercial parties may hire a con-sultant to settle their dispute. If the dispute resolution method is judicial in its character, this thesis defines it as private judging (privatdomarför-farande). The consultant is called a private judge (privatdomare). Litigation and arbitration have rules granting the parties to a dispute the right to prior notice and

Reglerna och läran om rättskraften är ett av de mest omdiskuterade ämnena inom svensk civilprocessrätt. Det råder ett systematiskt samband mellan RB 17:11 och 13:3 som är av vikt för att förstå gällande rätt. Förståelsen för rättskraftsläran och gällande rätt kompliceras dock av ett antal rättsfall. Kontentan av praxis är att vissa alternativa yrkanden prekluderas av domens rättskraft och det kan The concept of res judicata is an intensively discussed area in Swedish civil procedural law. There is a fundamental correlation of legal and systematic importance between article 11 in chapter 17 and article 3 in chapter 13 in the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure (RB 17:11, 13:3). However, it should be noted that the case law has complicated the understanding of the concept. This has, amongst o
