För att ett varumärkesintrång skall föreligga krävs att varumärkesanvändningen sker i näringsverksamhet. Det innebär således att all privat användning av ett varumärke faller utanför lagens tillämpningsområde. Detta medför att det står envar fritt att på Internet använda annans registrerade varumärke för att exempelvis nå ut med åsiktsyttringar eller på annat sätt använda ett registrerat varumärke

Based on the findings of the Ingroup Allocation Model (IAM), which suggests that people use evaluative communication to form and maintain groups and as a result increase the individuals’ inclusive fitness, we present the Dark Past & Bright Future (DPBF) hypothesis. This framework suggests that people use positive evaluative statements to induce behaviors that are consistent with the speakers’

Förändras mikroorganismers ”samhällsstrukturer” över säsongen? Överallt i marken finns det mikroorganismer som servar växterna med näring, både i form av att de hjälper till att ta upp näring och dela med sig av, och genom att de bryter ner dött material och därmed gör näring tillgänglig. Jag har ställt mig frågan om mikroorganismer i jorden varierar i mängd, sammansättning och aktivitet över säAbstract Seasonal variation in microbial community composition was investigated from early spring tillautumn alonga sandy grasslandslope with variation in soil moisture, vegetation composition and nutrient availability.The testedhypotheses were:(1) the microbial community composition will change with theseason,(2) microbial biomassis highestin spring,(3) saprotrophic fungi will be more abundantin

There are many good practice examples in sustainable tourism, but the difficulty is how they can be transparently measured, monitored and disseminated. The study aims to develop a measurement system for good practice in sustainable tourism, meanwhile to make some contribution to the monitoring and reporting system. In order to accomplish this, the thesis allocates good practice examples into a Sus

This thesis adds a new perspective to the issue of firm valuation by introducing the discussion of how to assess the marginal value of ownership. Which are the determinants of the marginal value of subsidiary ownership? How can a company that wants to assess the marginal value of its subsidiary holding perform the valuation? How does the value of flexibility to act on different outcomes of an unce

Efter skapandet testas och appliceras modellen på ett fallföretag för att utvärderas. Metoden bygger på tre steg med start i en verklighet som består av kunskapshöjande konsulter och byggbranschen. Steg ett består av informationsinsamling från teorier, befintlig

Investment in renewable energy sources for military purposes is to dramatically increase in the coming years due to tactical, geopolitical, economic and environmental reasons. Major military powers have started to explore various opportunities for alternative liquid fuels while small countries are facing multiple barriers. The Military of Lithuania has been chosen as a research object to reveal wh

The aim of this project was to investigate the work of paramedics and to realize the need for improvement in their practice by identifying possible means of enhancing their equipment. I began this project by conducting extensive research on the subject and sought to improve my understanding of the knowledge I gained from this by conducting a series of field studies. These field studies helped me t

Ecosystem services that people depend upon for their well-being are being lost at an alarming rate. These services include the provisioning of natural resources, food, medicine, flood protection, climate regulation, water purification, and biodiversity retention. In the U.S., the main threat to these services comes from the rapid pace of land conversion. In just a twenty- year period, an area the

Recognising the critical role of forests in addressing Climate Change, a proposal being negotiated under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is the “Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation” mechanism, or REDD+. REDD+ aims to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by providing economic incentives to developing countries and local forest inhabitants to

Denna uppsats beskriver nödvärnsrätten såsom den är utformad i svensk rätt. Genom en rättsdogmatisk metod redogörs för lagtext, praxis, förarbeten och doktrin på området, det vill säga de i rättskälleläran utpekade rättskallorna. Nödvärnsrätten regleras i 24 kap 1 § BrB och utmärks av att någon utsätts för ett brottsligt angrepp och ska avvärja detta, och därmed kommer den handling som företas iThis paper describes the Swedish law regarding the right of self-defense. The right of self-defense is the right for civilians acting on their own behalf to defend themselves when a violent criminal attack occurs. Using a legal dogmatic method, it intends to describe the rights and possibilities being approved to a civilian who uses his right of self-defense when being attacked. The paper will des

The current status of overexploited fish stocks worldwide and increasing stakeholder expectations that retailers should responsibly source products have led to an increasing number of food retailers committing to sell sustainable seafood. Yet, the complexity and variety of seafood supply chains and the challenge inherent in the verification of sustainability qualities suggest that the implementati

The purpose of the master thesis has been to investigate the professional experiences of collaboration within the framework of the agreement on cooperation for greater security in the city of Landskrona and further investigate the macro-control and prospective norm formation processes between the police and city. Of the mission statement it is clear that the focus should be on processes and not on

Electronic waste (e-waste) in modern society is a growing issue that creates risks by degrading natural resources, through the production of the electronic devices in question, but also at a later end-of-life stage when recycled irresponsibly; by harming individuals directly – those who partake in the recycling, but also indirectly when deadly toxins from recycling flow into water and soil sources

This is a thesis situated in a context of feminist debates on gender, class, resistance and social change as well as the contemporary Swedish feminist movement and debate. The aim of this thesis is to discuss questions of gender/sex and class in relation to resistance and social change. Based on theories about public intellectuals and social change I have conducted in-depth interviews with six fem

Determining the position of mobile devices is an important business and research area due to the many applications it enables. Outdoors, positioning is often solved by the Global Positioning System (GPS). Indoors however, the signals received from GPS satellites are too weak to provide meaningful position estimates. Therefore, indoor positioning must be done using other techniques, such as trilate

In response to stakeholder expectations, and in line with the life cycle idea, a growing number of corporations are working to influence its suppliers for improved environmental and social performance. The number and diversity of the actors and aspects to consider in global supply chains contributes to the complexity of the task. Most actively engaging in supply chain improvements are companies wi

Genus-specific, sRNA discovery in marine Synechococcus The most ubiquitously distributed, picocyanobacteria, Synechococcus significantly contribute to global, oceanic primary productivity and are pivotal players in biogeochemical cycling. Because of the distribution and significant contribution of picocyanobacterial to global processes, there have been many studies on gene expression and their tr

Management of intermittent renewable energy sources (RES) such as wind and solar is a significant issue for countries with interconnected electricity markets. Increasing amounts of electricity from intermittent RES increases the variability of electricity supply, causing electricity prices to become highly sensitive weather conditions. Unpredictable prices have a negative effect on new infrastruct
