The purpose of this thesis is to analyse how the European Union constructs and articulates peace within its official discourse in relation to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in 2014, 2021 and 2025. The European Union has long presented peace as a central part of its political identity, values and external role. However, political actors, such as the European Union, frequently invoke peace
Introduction: Severe asthma is a heterogeneous condition characterized by distinct phenotypes and endotypes based on clinical or biological characteristics. Interleukin (IL) 4 and IL-13 are central cytokines in the type 2 (T2) immune response, crucial for T2 inflammation. Biologic therapies targeting the IL-4/IL-13 pathway, such as anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), have shown improvements
IntroductionCardiac arrest (CA) survivors often face significant health challenges, including insomnia, which can adversely affect their health-related quality of life. The Minimal Insomnia Symptom Scale (MISS) is a brief, self-reported instrument designed to screen for insomnia. This study aimed to identify the measurement properties of the MISS in CA survivors and to explore a relevant cut-off s
The present work was aimed at developing industrial S. cerevisiae strains with improved tolerance to two types of stressors encountered during the fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass that affect ethanol yield and productivity, namely hydrolysate-derived inhibitors and high temperature, and at understanding the response of yeast and mechanisms of adaptation to such stressors. In one part of the
This thesis examines two different impacts of sidestream treatment of digester supernatant via nitrification-denitrification in a sequenced batch reactor (SBR). One of the impacts is the detrimental formation of nitrous oxide, and the other is the positive boosting of nitrifiers to the mainstream process through bioaugmentation. The studies have been carried out in a full-scale wastewater treatmen

Gender tests in sports have become increasingly popular amongst sports gov-erning bodies. Even the International Olympic Committee only recently, in March 2026, introduced a new rule requiring female athletes to undergo ge-netic testing to be allowed to compete in the female category. This article ex-amines gender testing in sport and the question of whether these regulations violate the human rig
With growing concern over organised crime in Sweden, increased attention has been directed towards children's involvement in escalating violence. Children are portrayed both as victims of coercion and as voluntary participants, reflecting a dual approach in governmental policy. This study investigates how the issue of children's involvement in criminal activities is problematised in three
Sustainable development requires coordination among multi-level actors to achieve set targets, with networks playing a key role in sharing knowledge and fostering collective actions. These networks’ success hinges on member engagement, but since participation is voluntary, members choose their level of involvement. Despite the importance, factors influencing network engagement remain rather scarce
Smad5 is known to transduce intracellular signals from bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), which belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily and are involved in the regulation of hematopoiesis. Recent findings suggest that BMP4 stimulates proliferation of human primitive hematopoietic progenitors in vitro, while early progenitors from mice deficient in Smad5 display increa
Label-free LC-MS methods are attractive for high-throughput quantitative proteomics, as the sample processing is straightforward and can be scaled to a large number of samples. Label-free methods therefore facilitate biomarker discovery in studies involving dozens of clinical samples. However, despite the increased popularity of label-free workflows, there is a hesitance in the research community
Revised simulation theory (Goldman, 2006) allows mental state attributions containing some or all of the attributor’s genuine, non-simulated mental states. It is thought that this gives the revised theory an empirical advantage, because unlike theory theory and rationality theory, it can explain egocentric bias (the tendency to over attribute ones’ own mental states to others). I challenge this vi
