Abstract: The Philippines stands as a global outlier, alongside the Vatican City, to still prohibit divorce, while conversely allowing the dissolution of marriage. In such a unique contemporary setting, this research aims to explore how women navigate themselves within the dichotomous private and public spheres. Specifically, how their career trajectories are shaped by cultural norms and strict le
Materialets andra liv - Återanvändning och återvinning av polyAl Tetra Paks ständiga strävan att utveckla sina förpackningar inom ramarna av en cirkulär ekonomi ligger till grund för utvärderingen av alla möjligheter till återvinning och återanvändning. PolyAl, materialet som skyddar både förpackningen och dess innehåll, tillhör ett område där ett större fokus inom detta behövs. För att utforskaIn the recycling process of Tetra Pak packaging, the recycling and reuse of pure polyAl is not as explored as the rest of the materials. After the fiber has been removed from the recycled packages through repuling, the need to separate the polyAl from other polymers and better understand how this material behaves is crucial. In order to explain the material properties and investigate how the poly
This thesis examines the legal constraints imposed by EU and EEA law on the design and implementation of sector-specific resource taxation, using the aquaculture regimes of Iceland and Norway as reference models. Focusing on direct taxation, the analysis assesses compatibility with internal market freedoms and the State aid prohibition under Articles 28, 49, 63, and 107 TFEU and their EEA counterp
The current, seemingly uninhibited, growth of AI technologies presents one of the most critical modern day quandaries. The magnitude of its potential to develop, necessitates a deeper look into the legal implications associated which this technology. This thesis aims to describe and analyse the obligations of complete data sets in Article 10 AIA and its relationship with article 5(c) GDPR, using t
När två protoner, accelererade till nära ljusets hastighet, krockar i den 27 km långa partikelacceleratorn under den fransk-schweiziska gränsen vid CERN, världens centrum för partikelfysik, så bildas dussintals energetiska sub-atomära partiklar. Den vanligaste partikeln som bildas kallas för gluon, efter engelskans "glue" som betyder lim. Detta namn har den fått eftersom den fungerar somCalculating the color factor of matrix elements for gluon processes is difficult since the gauge group of QCD, SU(3), is non-Abelian. The most commonly used methods for treating color structure all scale as the square of a factorial with the number of gluons, making calculations with more than a few gluons too time-consuming to carry out on demand. This thesis will provide an alternative approach
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, introduced by Regulation (EU) 2023/956 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 May 2023 establishing a carbon border adjustment mechanism (hereinafter ‘CBAM’), represents one of the major steps of the European Union (hereinafter ‘EU’) to combat carbon leakage. Since CBAM is currently in its transitional phase till December 31, 2025, the implicati
This paper aims to analyse the oral communication patterns amongst upper secondary school students within the subject of math. To this end, Mohan’s Knowledge Framework (1986) has been utilised, which seeks to sort knowledge into six different categories: three practical and three theoretical. The data collection consisted of observations made from lessons where the students solved math problems in
This qualitative study explores how consumers perceive femvertising in relation to authenticity and the risk of femwashing within the framework of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Based on a social constructivist view, the research combines a content analysis of four digital commercials, with a thematic analysis of ten semi-structured interviews with male and female participants aged 20-31.
This thesis investigates the operational performance of IKEA’s Order-Initiated Flow (OIF) model for the Food Category in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It examines how extended lead times impact product availability, shelf life, and cost efficiency, and identifies the underlying factors contributing to these challenges. The research aims to evaluate the alignment between the desig

The purpose of this study is therefore to investigate how Northvolt during an active crisis phase implemented strategic communication in order to strengthen their image or reputation. Through coding of data, foll
Den här uppsatsen utforskar huruvida de två nyhetskanalerna, CNN och Fox News, porträtterar och skildrar politiska händelser baserat på deras politiska ideologier. Samtidigt, undersöker denna studie om och hur dessa kanaler använder sig av kommunikationsstrategier för att rapportera om mötet mellan Trump och Zelenskyj den 28 februari. För att komma fram till ett resultat har en jämförande fallstudThis thesis explores whether two news channels CNN and Fox News portray and depict political events based on their political ideologies. At the same time, this study examines whether and how these channels use communication strategies to report on the meeting between Trump and Zelensky on February 28. To arrive at a conclusion, a comparative case study was conducted, through careful observation of
Den rättspsykologiska förhörsforskningen har mycket att erbjuda operativ underrättelseverksamhet vad gäller evidensbaserade förhörsmetoder vid informationsinsamling från mänskliga källor - HUMINT. Samtidigt finns ett dialogmässigt glapp dem emellan. Förhörsforskningen bygger till största del på paradigm med brottsutredning som utgångspunkt, vilket innebär att aspekter såsom hur kontexten påverkar

Abstrakt Bakgrund: Antalet tillmatningar med formula på Sveriges BB avdelningar är höga, 20-40% med ett medeltal på 30% i landet. Att tillmata det ammande barnet med formula på icke-medicinska indikationer ska undvikas enligt de riktlinjer som finns, trots det tillmatas friska fullgångna barn på icke-medicinsk indikation på BB. Det finns evidens för att tillmatning med formula på sjukhuset har st
