One of the latest, and maybe the most innovative, institutional changes in the EU is that the president of the European Commission should be nominated after taking the result of the EP-elections into account. This is said to create a democratic link between the EU-voters and the president, stir EU-wide debate as presidential candidates emerge and hopefully result in higher voter turnout and a pre

In this project I have studied the effect of gas expulsion on the evolution of stellar clusters. What effect the rate of gas removal and the quantity of gas removed has on the evolution on the cluster will be studied through computer simulations with the NBody6 code and compared to analytical predictions. The rate at which gas is removed has a very significant impact on how the cluster evolves

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.
