This study has its starting point in a public debate about disruptive behaviors at public libraries in Sweden. In 2019 a legal bill was proposed, which would make it possible to deny persons who disturb the order at libraries, access to libraries. Representatives from library organizations criticized the proposed bill, stating it is contrary to the current Swedish Library Act. The main purpose wit
Jag har analyserat huvud- och spårelementkoncentrationer i plagioklas från en norit-anortositintrusion, Älgön, Hakefjorden vid Sveriges västkust med syfte att fastställa intrusionens magmatiska ursprung, magmans utveckling och dess transport upp genom jordskorpan. Megakrister av plagioklas i anortositen har en homogen fördelning med avseende på huvud- och spårelement medan plagioklas-megakrister iMajor and trace element data taken from plagioclase crystals from anorthosites and related rock units in the Hakefjorden Complex located off the west coast of Sweden were investigated for the purposes of constraining magma chamber processes and the source of the magma. Although the anorthosite units were completely homogenous in regards to its chemistry, the plagioclase in the associated norite an
Overconfident behaviour among investors has been marked as a substantial problem on financial markets. Consequently, many modellers and researchers have discussed the attributes of an overconfident trader, and the implications related to measuring such attributes. Since overconfidence literature can be interpreted to indicate an expectation for a relationship between educational background and ove
The Nuremberg International Military Tribunal (Nuremberg IMT), created in 1945, has been put forward by international legal scholars as the first international criminal tribunal, and the starting point of international criminal justice. However, throughout history, there have been other initiatives to try individuals for mass atrocities on the international level, comparable to the Nuremberg IMT t
The objective of this study is to investigate how European trade unions and governments in France, Sweden and the UK have reacted to the rapid growth of the platform economy. The platform economy (also commonly referred to as gig-economy, sharing economy etc.) including Uber, Airbnb and Deliveroo etc., has already managed to transform some sectors of the economy and contributed to the creation of
The undrained shear strength of cohesive soils is an important parameter to assess in geotechnical investigations. It is normally evaluated with the cone penetration test (CPT) but problems with penetrating coarse, heterogeneous materials that is also hard, such as clay till, have pointed the interest towards other possible in-situ methods. This has led to studies assessing the possibility to eval
Knowledge acquired through ecosystem service valuations can provide valuable information to stakeholders making land-use decisions. Effective use of ecosystem service valuation knowledge with a cost-benefit analysis can create resilient social-ecological systems. There is an increasing number of valuations being conducted, yet only one third of the studies are thought to be used in some form to ai
Fathers’ involvement (FI) in the education and development of their young children is a growing phenomenon. Research has shown that children with parents involved in shared reading exhibit stronger cognitive, social, and problem-solving skills (Betawi et al., 2014). Unfortunately, FI is still lacking in shared reading, especially in the Middle East and North Africa region. We Love Reading (WLR) tr
Introduction: There are major limitations in the current methods for screening and diagnosis of prostate cancer. In this project, the implementation of new tests has been researched. The assessed tests in the screening phase are the 4Kscore, Prostate Health Index (PHI), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Prostarix. The assessed tests for use after a negative biopsy are Prostate Cancer gen 3 (PCA
The Danish asylum system has experienced radical changes during 2019 in regards to asylum and refugee rights with the right-wing governing coalition’s introduction of Act 140. Central to Act 140 is the repatriation philosophy that is carried out in practice with an increased focus on temporary residency of refugees within the Danish asylum system as opposed to permanency. Thus, social integration
Over the last century, Swedish forests have undergone rapid land-use change due to intensification of management practices for timber production and the introduction of monocultures, which have resulted in considerable habitat loss and negative impacts to biodiversity. Insects form a significant component of forest biodiversity, yet forest-dwelling pollinators remain understudied, and little is kn
The industrial sector in Sweden accounted for 38 percent of the country’s total energy consumption in 2019. As the world’s focus has shifted drastically on energy consumption, the industry sector’s has as well due to energy initiatives and government-driven regulations. The energy issue is currently of great relevance for energy-intensive industries where enormous potential remains due to factors
Analysis of alternative splicing has provided valuable information for multiple types of cancer, including breast cancer in recent years. Alternative splicing has been suggested to be one of the hallmarks for cancer, as dysregulation of the normal splicing process governs many aspects of cancer cell biology. For several genes previously associated with cancer, specific variants and their effect on
This academic paper explores the current state of regulation in outer space, highlighting the existence of a legal vacuum and the absence of clear norms governing space activities. Existing treaties are often vague and inconclusive in their interpretations. Meanwhile, a new space race is emerging, with commercial entities taking the lead in the West, while global players such as China and Russia sDet går att konstatera att regleringen av rymden befinner sig i en form av rättsligt vakuum. Det saknas idag en tydliga normer för användningen av rymden. Tolkningar av de få traktat som ratificerats av majoritetens av världens länder är vaga och ofta intetsägande. Samtidigt håller en ny rymdkapplöpning på att växa fram. Den här gången har kommersiella aktörer lagt sig i framkant i väst medan glob
Brand activism has emerged as a prevalent phenomenon where brands engage in socio-political issues to differentiate themselves and build stakeholder resonance. Despite its growing prominence, research on brand activism is limited, particularly in relation to brand positioning. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore how a newly launched brand engaging in socio-political agendas communicates
As most companies and organizations rely on their tech teams to drive their business, staying innovative becomes a crucial challenge in this context. The present study explores this strive for innovation by considering team reflexivity, defined as the ability of a group to communicate and ponder together. This concept is placed at the center of the proposed theoretical model, acting as a mediator
Irrespective of the abundance of solar energy resources, its access to the low-income communities of rural Tanzania is challenged by multifaceted barriers. Again, the current access goal in energy ignored the gender perspective of access. There is no alternative to establishing women-led solar energy enhancement initiatives to mitigate those access barriers and equally address gender inequality in
