Denna uppsats undersöker företags moraliska ansvar att respektera de mänskliga rättigheterna, skisserade i UNGP, som i praktiken genomförs genom en human rights due diligence-process. Den analyserar hur moderbolaget ska genomföra en sådan process i förhållande till sina dotterbolag. Uppsatsen beskriver sedan vilket juridiskt ansvar, enligt engelsk skadeståndsrätt och dess duty of care-begrepp, ett
In this thesis, the Wideband Sparse Exponential Mode Analysis (WSEMA) estimator is introduced. It combines two recently developed techniques, the wideband dictionary and the Sparse Exponential Mode Analysis (SEMA) to make for an efficient estimator. WSEMA estimates the parameters of decaying sinusoids, without a priori-information about the number of modes present in the signal. WSEMA works with a
This study explored the effect of cognitive workload on shooting performance and quiet eye duration (QED) using a Stroop based handgun-shooting task (Stroop shooting). Furthermore, the difference between the reverse Stroop effect and the traditional Stroop effect when shooting based on the Attentional Control Theory was assessed. The methods used were partially based on previously published resear
In this Letter, the first evidence of the (Formula presented) antihypernucleus is presented, along with the first measurement at the LHC of the production of (anti)hypernuclei with mass number (Formula presented), specifically (Formula presented) and (Formula presented). In addition, the antiparticle-to-particle ratios for both hypernuclei ((Formula presented) and (Formula presented)) are shown, w
Context. Early theoretical works suggested that ultrahot Jupiters have inverted temperature-pressure (T-P) profiles in the presence of optical absorbers, such as TiO and VO. Recently, an inverted T-P profile of KELT-7b was detected, in agreement with the predictions. However, the diagnosis of T-P inversions has always been recognized to be a model-dependent process. Aims. We used the Characterisin
The ATLAS tile calorimeter (TileCal) is the hadronic sampling calorimeter covering the central region of the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This paper gives an overview of the calorimeter’s operation and performance during the years 2015–2018 (Run 2). In this period, ATLAS collected proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and the TileCal was 99.65% eff
The lithium extractive industry is expanding, as technological and economic shifts associated with climate change mitigation goals drive global demand for lithium-ion batteries. This article explores the case of the ‘Lithium Triangle’, a region of Latin America (spanning Bolivia, Chile and Argentina) that contains the world’s largest reserves, and where environmental conflicts associated with lith
INTRODUCTION: Anaemia in patients having surgery is associated with worse postoperative outcomes. Management with intravenous iron is an attractive therapeutic option, however, pre-operative intravenous iron administration is challenging. Evidence from interventional trials suggests that the greatest benefit is after hospital discharge. As anaemia is common after surgery, this meta-analysis aimed
Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common micronutrient deficiency in the world. It is of concern for women and girls of reproductive age as, despite frequent normalization, excessive menstrual blood loss and the iron demands associated with pregnancy increase the risk of developing an ID. Iron deficiency reduces health-related quality of life with symptoms of fatigue, heart palpitations, difficulty
The Nuclear Renaissance is a term that describes today’s socio-political attitudes toward nuclear technology. The renewed optimism surrounding nuclear power frames it as a solution to climate change and environmental inequality. However, the popular visual culture that accompanies these attitudes rarely portrays nuclear power in a positive light, but rather as a form of destruction we are expected
Summary: In this meta-analysis of international cohorts, current smoking is confirmed as a significant BMD-independent predictor of future fracture with a stronger relationship in men than in women. A causative and reversible effect of smoking on fracture risk is suggested by past smoking having a significantly lower risk than current smoking. Purpose: In this meta-analysis of international cohort
Quality goals have evolved according to the industrial revolution stages from ‘Small Quality’ to ‘Big Quality’ and now to ‘Open Quality’ in the digital transformation era. This study systematically reviews the chronological development of quality paradigms describing how quality management has evolved from Small to Big to Open Quality. We delineate the concept of Open Quality, emphasizing MTCI-bas
This article exposes the invisible sand that underpins Copenhagen’s transformation from fishing village to global city. By “following sand,” we trace how planetary material flows sustain urban expansion while entangling the city in processes of capital accumulation, class restructuring, and ecological degradation. Drawing on Science and Technology Studies (STS) approaches, yet situating them firml

Background: Exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has been associated with lower bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD) in children, but prospective studies remain limited. We aimed to investigate associations between prenatal and childhood PFAS exposure and BMC/BMD at age 9 years, following up on our previous findings from age 7 years. Methods: We used data from the Odense
This thesis explores the philosophical implications of commodification, focusing on the claim made by Jason Brennan and Peter Jaworski in Markets Without Limits (2013) that ”if you can have it, you can buy it; if you can give it away, you can sell it.” Their thesis argues for the moral permissibility of commodifying any good or service that is already permissible to exchange without monetary compe
Popular Abstract in Swedish Enzymet magnesium-kelatas katalyserar bildandet av magnesuim-protoporfyrin genom insättning av en magnesiumjon i protoporfyrin. Detta är det första unika steget i tillverkningen av klorofyll hos växter, alger och fotosyntetiska bakterier. Magnesium-kelatas är uppbyggt av tre olika proteiner som kallas I (vikt 40 kDa), D (70 kDa) och H (140 kDa). Tillsammans bildar dessaThe insertion of Mg2+ into protoporphyrin IX represents the first committed step in the chlorophyll and bacteriochlorophyll biosynthetic pathways. The reaction is catalyzed by the multisubunit enzyme Mg-chelatase, which consists of three subunits, known as I (molecular weight ~40 kDa), D (~70 kDa), and H (~140 kDa). To fully understand this first step in chlorophyll biosynthesis each protein compo
