Recent evidence suggests that there are serious information asymmetries in the Kenyan financial market. Between 2006 and 2009, the formal and semi-formal financial sectors in Kenya increased a lot.

This thesis, through interviews in a minor field study, suggests that the informa

Manufacturing firms have a hard time competing with goods only. It is considered that everyone can produce and therefore the competition is solely based on cost. The solution is to increase the value of the offer. Services show great potential in increasing customer value. In addition services are harder to copy and can generate constant stream of income (through contracts). The packaging industry

I propositionen till den nya konkurrenslagen som antogs 2008 öppnades möjligheten för individuellt ansvar vid överträdelser av konkurrensrätten. Sedan 2010 riskerar individer som deltar i konkurrensbegränsande samarbete att dömas till näringsförbud. En fråga som lyftes i samband med lagförslaget var huruvida en kriminalisering skulle vara möjlig inom ramen för konkurrensrätten. Frågan har lyfts flThe Bill for the new Competition Act adopted in 2008, in Swedish competition law, opened for the possibility of individual liability for infringements of competition law.

Charnockit (hypersten granit), förekommer över hela världen och har beskrivits som en magma-tiskt eller metamorft bildad bergart, ursprunget till charnockiter och definitionen är därför omdiskuterad. Det finns två ytterligheter bland förklaringsmodeller för charnockitbildning, antingen bildas de genom (1) kristallisation av torra magmor eller (2) i metamorfa miljöer vid lågt PH2O. Denna studie omfCharnockite (hypersthene granite), occurs worldwide and has been described as an igneous or meta-morphic rock. The origin of charnockites and the definition of the concept has been widely debated. There are two hypotheses concerning possible formation models for charnockite: (1) crystallization from dry magmas, and (2) low PH2O during metamorphism. This study investigated mineral inclusions, satur

Tvister om vårdnad, boende och umgänge har ökat kraftigt i Sverige under de senaste åren. Detta innebär att allt fler barn årligen involveras i dessa typer av processer. För det enskilda barnet är det viktiga frågor som avgörs och utgången i målet kan få stora och långvariga konsekvenser för såväl barn, som föräldrar. Barn är, liksom vuxna, bärare av ett stort antal mänskliga rättigheter enligt inDisputes concerning custody, residence and contact have increased in Sweden during the last couple of years. This means, that more and more children are involved in these types of processes every year.

En stor del av världens sjötransporter går mellan Asien och Europa. Idag är den södra rutten genom Suez-kanalen populärast, men efter att isen i Arktis börjat smälta har den norra rutten öppnats upp som en möjlig utmanare till den södra rutten och skeppsägare ställs nu inför ett val. Sjötransport är en riskfylld verksamhet och både den södra och den norra rutten innehåller områden med ökad risk. There are two main shipping routes between Europe and Asia, among those the Southern Route through the Suez Canal is by far the most popular route. Due to a decrease in Arctic sea ice, the Northern Sea Route have opened up and is expected to become a viable alternative and a possible competitor to the Southern Route. The purpose of this essay is to contribute by advising ship-owners on what route

Uppsatsen behandlar rättsfiguren culpa in contrahendo, vårdslöshet i samband med avtalsförhandlingar. Huvudregeln är att parterna förhandlar på egen risk vilket innebär att de inte kan räkna med att få sina förhandlingskostnader ersatta i det fall avtalsförhandlingarna strandar. Culpa in contrahendo utgör ett undantag till denna huvudregel. För att ersättning enligt culpa in contrahendo ska kunnThis thesis analyzes culpa in contrahendo, negligence in the negotiations of an agreement.

Denna uppsats belyser problematiken med överprövningar som föranleder upphandlande myndigheter att frångå det obligatoriska annonseringskravet genom att direktupphandla samhällsåtaganden på grund av synnerlig brådska. Att en upphandlande myndighet blivit tvungen att direktupphandla ett samhällsåtagande, i syfte att utföra en obligatorisk skyldighet, för att det uppstått brådska på grund av överpröThis thesis highlights the problem of review procedures that lead contracting authorities to waive the mandatory publication of a contract notice by directly procuring public commitments due to extreme urgency.

Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om ett fullgott juridiskt ramverk i syfte att skydda den arktiska regionen redan är etablerat, eller om ytterligare juridiska instrument behöver tillkomma för att så ska vara fallet. Frågan diskuteras med bakgrund av det faktum att den arktiska isen smälter i en hög takt, och att framtiden för regionen sannolikt kommer att se väldigt annorThe main purpose of this thesis is to examine whether or not the legal framework to govern the Arctic can be said to be in place already, or if additional judicial measures need to be taken, given the future that awaits the region as a result of the ongoing rapid ice melt. For many decades, or even centuries, it was the common perception that the Arctic would remain permanently ice-covered, and be

Både i Sverige och utomlands finns det ett behov av tvistlösning som alternativ till domstolsprövning. I Sverige har sedan 1917 Stockholms Handelskammares Skiljedomsinstitut fungerat som institut för alternativ tvistlösning genom skiljeförfarande och en gångbar lagstiftning på området har i Sverige funnits sedan 1929. Skiljeförfarandet som tvistlösningssätt präglas av fyra essentiella hörnstenar -In Sweden as well as in other countries, there is a need for alternative dispute resolution as supposed to dispute resolution through a court of law.
