Crystallization-induced stress within confined spaces of porous materials presents significant challenges across various disciplines, including conservation science, geomorphology, geotechnical engineering, and concrete durability. Despite its significance, understanding how localized, transient, and anisotropic stress is generated in pores due to salt crystallization, along with its mechanisms of

At the 3 GeV ring of the MAX IV Laboratory, a fourth-generation ring-based synchrotron light source, an asymmetric influence of the sign of the amplitude-dependent tune shift (ADTS) on the transverse mode-coupling instability has been observed. Measurements of the instability, in dedicated single-bunch experiments at low chromaticity, revealed a significant dependence of the dynamics of the instab

Increasing the share of travelers using public transport is one way to address environmental problems such as carbon dioxide emissions. Senior citizens represent an increasingly important group in this transition, as they are increasingly mobile and make up a large share of the population. In this paper, we investigate senior citizen's mobility decision-making, focusing on public transport. Throug

In slowly driven classical systems, work is a stochastic quantity and its probability distribution is known to satisfy the work fluctuation-dissipation relation, which states that the mean and variance of the dissipated work are linearly related. Recently, it was shown that generation of quantum coherence in the instantaneous energy eigenbasis leads to a correction to this linear relation in the s

Early metastatic spread and clonal expansion of individual mutations result in a heterogeneous tumour landscape in metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC). Substantial molecular heterogeneity of common drug targets, such as membranous NECTIN4, FGFR3 mutations, PDL1 or immune phenotypes, has been documented between primary and metastatic tumours. However, translational and clinical studies frequently do

Women have always played a central role in smallholder agriculture in many farming systems of the Global South. However, they have had, and still have, low access to agricultural information, and even less ability to enact on training or advice received, in comparison to male farmers. The paper investigates what is needed for female smallholders to better benefit from agricultural advice and train

With the advent of digitalization, the economy of the world is quickly changing itself and Indian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are the front runners. This study sheds light on how digital transformation is crucial to support the growth, competitiveness, and sustainability in the present business environment, and how digital transformation is important to the SMEs in India. To encourage SMEs

In June 2005 the Commission imposed a &euro&semic60 million fine on AstraZeneca for abusing its dominant position. This was followed in December 2005 by the Discussion Paper on the application of Article 82 EC, issued by the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission. This thesis discusses the interpretation of Article 82 EC and does this from the perspective of pharmac

Uppsatsens övergripande syfte är att undersöka om så kallat tjatsex borde utgöra våldtäkt och om det finns anledning att kritisera gällande lagstiftning. I uppsatsen används den rättsdogmatiska metoden med fokus på lagstiftning, förarbeten, rättspraxis och doktrin. Resultatet visar att lagstiftningen och rättsväsendet tydligt inte definierar tjatsex som våldtäkt med förklaringen att det är hur fri

Företagsbot är en ekonomisk sanktion som infördes den 1 juli 1986 i syfte att på ett mer effektivt sätt bekämpa brott som begås i företags verksamheter. Sanktionen utgör i regel ett komplement till övriga straffrättsliga sanktioner. Bestämmelserna om företagsbot återfinns huvudsakligen i 36 kap. brottsbalken, varav 7–10 a §§ är de mest centrala. 7 § anger de rekvisit som måste uppfyllas för att ålA corporate fine is a financial sanction that was introduced on 1 July 1986 with the aim of more efficiently combating crimes committed in the operations of corporations. The sanction typically functions as a complement to other criminal sanctions. The provisions on corporate fines are found mainly in Chapter 36 of the Swedish Penal Code, of which Sections 7 to 10 a are the most essential. Section

This essay aims to explore how women are portrayed within populist discourse. By comparing the discourses in party programs, official documents, and statements from political leaders; our intention is to explore how women are characterized within left-wing and right-wing populism. Is there a difference between left and right, or does populist rhetoric always abate women considering its primary foc

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the level of conict in the media between the government and the opposition at dierent time periods, and specically regarding EU policies. Opposition towards policy is a crucial ingredient in democratic systems of government that do not only allow the people to send dierent personalities to represent them in government, but rather dierent policy agendas that

This thesis critically explores gender equality in international development, focusing on Guatemala amidst resurgent right-wing politics, volatile commitment, and gender backlash. It investigates how institutions like the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) navigate gender mainstreaming in a country with fluctuating dedication to gender equality. Through mixed methods, including thematic analy

The rise of cryptocurrencies has reshaped the financial landscape, with Bitcoin emerging as the flagship digital asset. The market dynamics of Bitcoin exhibit extreme volatility, heavy tails and asymmetrical returns. The increasing mainstream acceptance of Bitcoin has spurred the development of cryptocurrency derivatives. The rapid growth of this emerging market has not yet been matched by suffici

Following decolonisation and a transformation towards democracy, voting in African countries have been considered a practice based on ethnical alignments and clientelism. This study uses the framework of economic voting, the idea that voters consider the economic performance of an incumbent leader to either punish or reward them, to investigate the vote choice in Ghana. Economic voting theory has

Solar energy is one of the most promising solutions for the energy crisis due to its wide availability and cost-effectiveness. Solar cells have long been used to convert solar energy to electricity, but due to the high cost and difficult processability of the widely available and commercialized silicon solar cells, replacing them with new technology has always been of interest for researchers. Rec

This study investigates the effectiveness of an interactive module compared to an e-brochure designed to market a video analytics technology. The interactive module was developed using the same core content as the e-brochure, allowing for a direct comparison of format effects. The primary focus of the study is to evaluate how the interactive module impacts user engagement across cognitive, behavio
