This paper contributes to sustainability transitions studies in delivering stronger focus and relevance on culture and discursive features to apprehend social resistances towards transition agendas, and the unprecedented emergence of the challenging antagonism of the ‘end of the world’ versus ‘the end of the month’ revealed by the case study of the Yellow Vests crisis in France since November 2018
Planetary embryos grow by the accretion of solid dust-material, ranging from cm- to m-sized pebbles up to km-sized planetesimals. However, the underlying size-distribution of the accreted material is poorly understood. When the pebbles and planetesimals encounter a protoplanet, they are subjected to the gaseous environment of the protoplanetary envelope. Because of the drag-force from the gas, the
Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory condition, is the main attributor to cardiovascular disease. As such, elucidating the underlying immunological events that occur during atherogenesis has become an area of interest to better understand atherosclerotic pathology. T cells are an integral component of the adaptive immune response and have been shown to be present in atherosclerotic plaques. How
Modern medicine is rapidly evolving toward personalized treatments, where therapies are tailored to an individual’s genetic profile. This shift is driven by the promise of pharmacogenomics, which aims to match patients with the most effective medications based on their unique biological makeup. As a result, biotherapeutics made from biological sources like proteins, peptides, and antibodies are be
This study is written for the purpose to analyze how automation in today’s modern flight deck is affecting pilots basic flying skills. It is focused on the pilot’s ability to control thrust. The main thesis transpires that pilots may had a better physical understanding around aerodynamics and speed control during basic flying training, operating aircraft with minimal or no automation (energy manag
The call for climate justice becomes increasingly urgent as environmental degradation and social injustices grow even more intertwined, with their compounded impacts disproportionately affecting communities in the Global South. This thesis critically examines how the European Green Deal (EGD), as a climate policy, perpetuates neo-colonial power structures under the guise of sustainability, using t
Amid the rapid expansion of the global digital economy, the European Union faces a fundamental tension between promoting digital trade liberalisation and safeguarding its regulatory autonomy. This thesis examines how policy space provisions within the EU's new, standalone Digital Trade Agreements (DTAs) with Singapore and South Korea relate to this strategic challenge. Using a legal doctri-nal
In recent decades, organizations have undergone a fundamental shift from selling physical products to offering services and most recently, data-driven offerings. This transition has elevated data to a central organizational resource and given rise to new service models, most notably Data-as-a-Service, DaaS. While the costs associated with developing and maintaining data infrastructure are often me
In the heart of every physical theory lies measurement theory. While classical measurements are passive probes, QMs can be viewed as active physical processes that shape the available information. Depending on the measurement type, different aspects of the information about a system are retrieved. All possible measurements in quantum physics are described by mathematical objects called Positive Op
Sweden and Canada are internationally recognised for their contributions to defending human rights and managed to establish a reputation as humanitarian superpowers. However, both countries deal with the aftermath of a long violent past, concerning the dreadful treatment of their respective indigenous populations. In two separate contexts, the First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples in Canada and t
All businesses have a responsibility to respect human rights, including women’s rights. Whilst the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights acknowledge the vulnerabilities of women in the global value chains, there is limited guidance on what measures corporations should take in order to avoid and address women specific harms. Taking a rights-based approach to gender equality, this study
This essay examines the relationship between ESG and abnormal returns and its implications on investing. To investigate this topic, I allocate stocks into zero-investment portfolios based on high and low ESG, using three different weighting methods, equal weighting, value weighting and portfolio optimization. The portfolios are then evaluated using the CAPM as well as the Fama-French three-factor
Dyslexia is a problem that can limit someone’s life if the person does not receive the appropriate support in order to develop strategies to deal with it, and it is not limited to one’s first language. The first limitations appear early in life during the school years as the child struggles with literacy issues. It is in the educational environment where the child will receive the first support a
This study explores the connection between the indoor and outdoor environment and how through the use of shading devices they affect each other. The chosen location for the study is a well-known street in the urban context of Copenhagen. Through different façade and shading evaluations, this thesis aims to investigate the possibility of achieving desired visual and thermal comfort levels for the i
With more than 130,000 organizations worldwide certified according to ISO requirements, business people, regulatory authorities and other stakeholders have reason to wonder whether the purpose of ISO 14001, which is to help improve environmental performance, is being fulfilled. There is a growing body of literature attempting to answer this question. The results, however, are inconclusive. This m
