Enligt nyligen publicerade vetenskapliga rapporter blir planeten varmare i en takt aldrig tidigare skådad. Om inte utsläppen av växthusgaser minskas kraftigt så kommer temperaturmålet på 1,5 °C som fastställdes i Parisavtalet att överskridas. Även om alla påverkas av klimatförändringar på ett eller annat sätt så är barn särskilt sårbara för effekterna. Unga generationer idag kommer också att få taAccording to recently published scientific reports, the planet is getting warmer at an unprecedented rate. The temperature goal of 1,5°C set in the Paris Agreement will be exceeded unless deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are made. While everyone feels the effects of climate change, children are particularly vulnerable to them and will also be left with the impacts for a longer time. Con

The ongoing climate change calls for an immediate decarbonization of society, where one important measure is a rapid transition of the energy system through an expansion of variable renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar photovoltaic power production. This transition imposes new challenges to the electrical power system, not least from a power balance perspective. This master’s thesis r

Endometrios är en sjukdom som innebär att livmoderslemhinna befinner sig utanför livmodern vilket kan resultera i smärtor och infertilitet. En vanlig förklaring till uppkomsten av endometrios är att delar av livmoderslemhinnan pressas ut ur livmodern, exempelvis till äggstockarna, under menstruation. När detta sker känner kroppens immunförsvar inte igen vävnaden utan ser den som något främmande soEndometriosis is a benign gynecological disease affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age today. Emerging evidence shows that women suffering from endometriosis have an increased risk of developing endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). Today, ovarian cancer is treated by cytoreductive surgery followed by chemotherapy. However, recurrence and platinum resistance occur in pa

Present master thesis investigates the role of 4 chosen place-based educational initiatives in Austria which are actively engaged in local short food supply chains (SFSCs). Those supply chains are defined by close geographical and social relations between supply chain actors and a limited number of intermediaries. It aims to scrutinize to what extend such initiatives (can) foster consumer-producer

This thesis investigates the news media’s portrayal of the amendment to the Swedish Criminal Code, also known as Brottsbalken in Swedish (BrB, 1962:700), in which the sentencing rules in regard to young offenders were changed. Prior to the new amendment, individuals younger than 21-years-old were entitled to an ‘ungdomsrabatt’ or ‘straffrabatt’ that applied during sentencing for all crimes. Under

Enligt den internationella armlängdsprincipen ska den internprissättning som sker i gränsöverskridande transaktioner mellan närstående företag spegla den prissättnings som skulle ha skett mellan två oberoende företag i en motsva-rande situation. Syftet med armlängdsprincipen är att förhindramultination-ella företag, i sin iver att maximera sin vinst, använder prissättningen i inter-na transaktioneAccording to the international arm's length principle, the pricing in cross-border transactions between related companies should reflect the pricing that would have occurred between two independent companies in a compa-rable situation. The purpose of the arm's length principle is to prevent multi-national companies from using pricing in internal transactions to reduce their overall tax bur

Skiljeförfarande har under de senaste decennierna växt fram till en mycket populär och uppskattad metod för tvistlösning, särskilt bland kommersiella parter. En större partsautonomi, effektivitet och slutlighet har betonats som fördelar jämfört med domstolsförfarande. Samtidigt finns frågor och svårigheter att reda ut. En av dessa aspekter lyftes i samband med att delar av lagen om skiljeförfarandArbitration has over the past few decades emerged as a very popular and appreciated method of dispute resolution, especially among commercial parties. Greater party autonomy, efficiency, and finality have been emphasized as advantages compared to court proceedings. At the same time, there are issues to address. One of these aspects was highlighted when parts of the Swedish Arbitration Act (SAA) we

Den svenska demografin förändras och antalet invånare äldre än 64 år väntas öka de kommande åren. Dessutom har urbaniseringen förändrats något, inte minst efter pandemin, då utflyttningen från storstäder till mindre orter ökat. Ökad flexibilitet i många yrken och delvis ändrade levnadsmönster har således resulterat i ett delvis minskat lägesberoende. Sammantaget står fastighetsmarknaden inför föräThe purpose of this study is to investigate what urban life really is and if (and in that case also how) urban life may be created and affected, primarily during the asset management phase. The study is conducted from the landowner’s perspective. Furthermore, the study aims at exploring what consequences and impact urban life has on the attractiveness and value of a place. The study is based on a

This research characterized the barrier properties and transport mechanisms of multilayer films comprising polylactide (PLA), chitosan, and nanocelluloses extracted from agricultural by-products. The investigation employed complementary analytical techniques to evaluate water vapor and oxygen transport behavior, comparing cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) derived from cor

This study investigates the activist engagement strategies of U.S.-domiciled hedge funds when engaging with Japanese firms. The study forms a comparison of the engagement strategies both before Japan’s 2015 Corporate Governance Code and after. To create this comparison, two campaigns were examined. First, the U.S.-domiciled hedge fund Steel Partners and its campaign against Japanese firm Bull-Dog

Under åren 1951–2002 släpptes en mängd på 2600–5000 ton PFAS ut i miljön. Det låter kanske inte så farligt. Men vad händer med miljön när denna mängd ökar? PFAS har konstaterats ha negativa effekter på daggmaskar, jordlevande bakterier och markhälsan. Dessa organismer är avgörande för att våra ekosystem ska fungera och för att vi ska kunna odla och bruka marken. Ändå är kunskapsläget kring PFAS påDuring the years 1951–2002, an amount of 2600–5000 tons of PFAS was released into the environment. The widespread occurrence of PFAS substances can have negative consequences for microbial species and communities within ecosystems, which is ex-pected to have negative effects also for higher trophic levels. Therefore, the purpose of this literature study was to compile information on which identifi

Sverige har ett nationellt mål om att minska utsläppen av växthusgaser från inrikes transporter med 70% fram till år 2030. För att minska dessa utsläpp beslöt Sverige år 2017 om den så kallade reduktionsplikten, som innefattar ett krav på att successivt öka inblandning av biodrivmedel i diesel och bensin. Stigande drivmedelspriser har sen dess fått flera partier att vända sig mot reduktionspliThe Greenhouse Gas Reduction Mandate (GGRM, reduktionsplikten) is Swedish legislation focused on reducing carbon emissions by mandating that the emissions of certain fuels are reduced by a specified percentage, that percentage increasing each year. This paper investigates the rationale behind a political drive to decrease the GGRM, the cost-effectiveness of the GGRM, and the consequences of t

Background: We aimed to study the long-term effect of smoking on coronary atherosclerosis progression at the segmental level. Methods: Angiographic data (1989-2017) on current, former, and nonsmokers were collected from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry. The Western Denmark Heart Registry was used to validate the results. Patients with clinically indicated angiography with

Background and aims: Heart transplantation is the preferred treatment for selected patients with end stage heart failure. Kidney function often declines after heart transplantation. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) slow the decline in eGFR in different populations. However, the effect of SGLT2i on kidney function in heart transplant recipients is unknown. Methods: The Dapaglifloz

In May 2024 with a subsequent update in June 2025, the Swedish Medical Products Agency’s expert group revised guidelines on the management and treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. This is an abridged version and commentary on the full recommendation including specific recommendations for the RSV-season 2025/2026. Key points are: (i) RSV is a seasonal, highly contagious infecti

While the 8.2 ka abrupt cooling event is increasingly recognised as a major Holocene climatic anomaly, archaeological discussions of its cultural consequences have often been framed in terms of societal distress, including the collapse and abandonment of settlements. However, prehistoric communities must have responded in more diverse ways. This paper investigates the site-based socio-ecological a
