En enkät med relevanta mätskalor förmedlades till olika vårdavdelningar och 68 respondenter uppgav svar. Resultatet visade p

Spridningen av främmande invasiva arter i den marina miljön genom barlastvatten och andra bärare har blivit fastställt som ett av de fyra största hoten mot världshaven, men trots detta har problemet blivit lite uppmärksammat av allmänheten. Under de senaste decennierna har spektakulära fall av invasioner, såsom t.ex. spridningen av vandringsmusslan till de amerikanska och kanadensiska Stora sjöarnThe introduction of invasive marine species into new environments by ships’ ballast water and via other vectors has been identified as one of the four greatest threats to the world’s oceans and yet this problem has gained little public attention.

In 2010 the center-right Fidesz-Christian Democrat coalition (Fidesz-KDNP) had an unprecedented electoral victory in Hungary.

I upprepade avgöranden har EU-domstolen på senare tid slagit fast att det strider mot unionsrätten att ta ut källskatt på utdelning i gränsöverskridande situationer då jämförbara, rent inhemska transaktioner inte belastas med något motsvarande skatteuttag. Med anledning härav har möjligheten att ta ut källskatt på utdelning varit föremål för omfattande diskussioner, särskilt i utländsk litteratur.Lately, in repeated rulings, the European Court of Justice has held that it is contrary to EU law to levy withholding tax on dividends in transnational situations when comparable, solely domestic transactions are not burdened with a corresponding tax levy. In respect thereof the possibility to levy withholding tax on dividends has been the topic of extensive scholarly discussions, especially in fo

Ironically, this is true even for prehistoric games, where the Icelandic sagas have been used as a starting point for a deductive hunt for the mysterious game Hnefatafl. Later studies of gaming have to a large extent been transferring older research results. According to the author, this has created a rather skewed pictu
