The effects of the deregulation of the electricity market 1996 in Sweden on short-term hydropower regulation are unknown. This report investigates patterns in subdaily regulation in the Ångerman River Basin during the period 1993-2011. Differences in subdaily flows and zero flow events between the periods 1993-1995 and 1996-2011 were studied by analyzing hourly data from 8 regulated and 8 unregulated locations with four subdaily flow variation indices. No correlations between the market deregulation and the regulation intensity in the Ångerman River basin were detected. The number of days natural ranges of variability were exceeded and the magnitude of subdaily variation were significantly higher at regulated locations.

In the year of 2002 a new council regulation on community designs was implemented. In the beginning of the essay the legal situtation before the implementation is investigated and part of the purpose is to evaluate if it constitutes a solution to the problems with protection of fashion designs that existed then. Because fashion designs more or less were excluded from protection during the period before the implementation the fashion business developed a habit of unauthorized reproduction. This attitude among the market players is a central point of the essay. The essay starts off with a review of the earlier lack of possibilities regarding the protection of fashion designs.

This essay seeks to explore which country´s laws should be applied when a dispute concerning damages in non-contractual obligations arises från illegal copying. In Europe today we have merely a few documented laws regarding choice of law concerning illegal copying. Thus, a proposition regarding a regulation which shall control the choice of laws applied on disputes in non-contractual obligations has been prepared. Another main reason for the existence of such a regulation is the need for a united set of laws to enable recognition of other countries´ judgments in Europe. This proposal will be called the Rome II-regulation.

SAMMANFATTNINGSyftet med studien är att granska hur dagens unga i Sverige resonerar kring derasarbetsliv. Syftet förgrenas i följande frågeställningar:? Går individernas resonemang i linje med hur teorier beskriver Generation Y?? Går det, beroende på akademisk utbildning, urskilja skillnader i beskrivningenav individernas inställning till arbete utifrån teorierna om Generation Y?? Går det att ifrågasätta synen på Generation Y som en homogen grupp?? Om det går att ifrågasätta Generation Y som en homogen grupp, vad kan det isådana fall bero på?Arbetsmarknaden står inför ett generationsskifte när dagens unga nu gör entré, de såkallade Generation Y. Generation Y profileras som målmedvetna, reflexiva ochsjälvsäkra individer som vågar ställa krav i arbetslivet. Med en stark vilja attutvecklas anses de kunna bli den mest högpresterande generationen genom tiderna.Emellertid menar kritiker att det finns en svårighet i att beskriva generationen som enenhetlig grupp.

Orust Kretsloppsakademi is a nonprofit organisation, with a goal of annually generate the same amount of electrical energy that is consumed. Orust is an island on the west coast of Sweden, north of Gothenburg. The population of 15 000 reaches 40 000 during summer, due to the large amount of vacationer. The total electricity demand is 174 GWh a year with a maximum power need of 32 MW. This report presents an analysis for the plausibility of their plan and from a power system stability perspective, the effects on the electrical grid.The conclusion is that the restraints for development of power generation from wind, solar and wave generation, are the power systems capability to transfer power, primarily in the transformers of the grid.

Den svenska arbetsmarknaden sta?r info?r ett generationsskifte i och med att fyrtiotalisterna ga?r i pension och den yngre generationen, generation Y, kommer ut pa? arbetsmarknaden. Den ha?r generationen motiveras av andra faktorer a?n de a?ldre generationerna vilket inneba?r att organisationer beho?ver anpassa hur de arbetar med att motivera sina ansta?llda. Vinstandelssystem har historiskt sett visat sig vara ett framga?ngsrikt koncept men det finns en oklarhet ga?llande om dessa system kommer att fungera pa? en generation som inte va?rdesa?tter trygghet och som inte drar sig fo?r att byta arbetsgivare.

Syftet med den här studien är att beskriva chefers föreställningar om och upplevelser av att leda unga, generation Y, i arbetslivet. Detta syfte leder oss till följande frågeställningar:1. Hur upplever chefer generation Y i arbetslivet i förhållande till äldre generationer?2. Hur anpassar chefer sitt ledarskap med avseende på ledarstil till generation Y?För att besvara dessa frågor har vi genomfört en kvalitativ undersökning där åtta operativa chefer intervjuats.

Vi har valt att undersöka den pågående generationsväxling som sker på arbetsmarknaden, den äldre generationen börjar nu gå i pension och den yngre generationen börjar i allt högre grad röra sig in på arbetsplatserna. Ämnet har länge legat till grund för forskning och det har förutspåtts att de stora pensionsavgångarna skall leda till stor arbetskraftsbrist. Detta är inget som vi ser på dagens arbetsmarknad utan det är istället arbetslösheten bland unga som är det mest framträdande. Forskning om det förmodade generationsskiftet har länge vart aktuellt, men verkar nu börja närma sig i och med att pensionsavgångarna beräknas tillta. Samtidigt som de yngre årskullarna börjar minska i antal.

Grid codes are becoming more demanding on power generating units due to the factthat the complexity of the power grid is increasing. The penetration of wind powerhas grown over the last years and it is clear that wind farms need to be addressedwith the same type of grid codes as conventional generation units. There is howeveran undeniable difference between the technology in conventional synchronousgeneration units, and the asynchronous generation units in wind farms.This thesis has reviewed the current grid code in Sweden and compared it to the newcode proposed by ENTSO-E, ?the Requirements for Generators?, in the aspect ofwind farms with an installed power of 30 MW or more. The comparison has beencomplemented by an analysis of how wind farms of two different technologies(Doubly fed induction generators and full power converters) can meet therequirements and technical proposals have been given on how to be able to meetcompliance with the new grid codes.The Requirements for Generators contains many non-exhaustive and optionalrequirements, because of this it has been difficult to, at this stage, exactly point outthe technical impact on the grid connection of future wind farms in Sweden.

Sverige står inför en stor generationsväxling de närmaste åren. Rekordgenerationen ska pensioneras och därmed ersättas av de yngre generationerna. I samband med generationsväxlingen sker det en kvalitativ förändring eftersom de olika generationerna har olika erfarenhet och värderingar. Dessa värderingar ligger till grund för hur individer driver företag, hur de prioriterar sin arbetstid och hur de lever sitt liv. Med tanke på vilka värderingar som styr de olika generationerna, tillsammans med att Generation Y börjar inta arbetsmarknaden, är det intressant att se om individers generationstillhörighet avspeglas på sättet de ser på ledarskap.

There is an increased pressure for firms to provide the financial market with additional information. Such disclosure is attached with different kinds of costs. In spite of these costs, and in spite of increased mandatory disclosures, firms choose to voluntary disclosure financial information to analysts and others. This indicates that firms also benefit from providing additional information. The subjects of this study is 431 annual reports from firms listed at the Stockholm Stock Exchange for 2002 and 2005 and the objective is to survey factors that can explain variations in firms? voluntary disclosure.

Many companies sometimes affects that a competitive company pulls use for their trademark or their products in his advertising. It can for instance be that the company uses alike symbols or features and on so ways fields a free ride on another companies good reputation. This procedure is called reputation parasitism and settles in the marketing act, 8 a § comparative advertising. You can also condemn after the marketing acts 4 § general requirement which?s says, ?marketing must be compatible with good marketing practice? which also agrees with international chamber of commerce.

The purpose of this thesis is to study the difference in value generation and its drivers between leveraged buyouts and listed companies. The primary objective is to observe if differences exist. A secondary objective is to understand the differences and attempt to provide an explanation based on earlier research on Private Equity. A selection of large Swedish LBO-transactions, carried out between 1998 and 2012, are analyzed and their value generation drivers subject to comparison with a weighted index of companies listed on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm. A clear difference in value creation is observed, both in size and composition.
