Svensk rätt erbjuder ett starkt skydd för både barn och arbetstagare. När en förvärvsarbetande förälder placeras på ett HVB-hem tillsammans med sitt barn uppstår dock en rättslig spänning. För dessa situationer finns ingen särskild reglering som tydliggör förälderns rätt till ledighet eller ekonomisk ersättning, trots att frånvaron bygger på ett myndighetsbeslut med barnets bästa som utgångspunkt.Swedish law provides robust protection for both children and employees. However, legal uncertainty arises when a parent is placed in a residential care home (HVB) together with their child. In such cases, there is currently no specific regulation clarifying the parent’s right to take leave from work or receive financial compensation, even though the absence is based on an official decision grounde

Mot smartare cellgiftsbehandling: Att förebygga behandlingsresistens vid äggstockscancer Äggstockscancer är den dödligaste gynekologiska cancertypen och kräver alltför många liv eftersom tumörer ofta blir resistenta mot behandling – särskilt mot cisplatin, vårt främsta försvar. För att rädda fler liv måste vi förstå hur denna resistens utvecklas och hur vi kan överlista den. I mitt examensarbete Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynaecologic malignancy, with most patients diagnosed at an advanced stage and facing poor long-term survival. Resistance to cisplatin-based chemotherapy is a major clinical obstacle, yet its proteomic drivers remain poorly defined. In this study, I applied data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry with DIA-NN data processing to analyse one parental and two cis

The term public archaeology is one that is not widely used in Sweden, often being sidelined in favour of the more popularised word “förmedling” or “mediation”. However, public archaeology can serve as an alternative to accommodate for new perspectives and models for communication with the public. With an increasing emphasis on inclusivity and diversity in the cultural field, attention towards how

This thesis explores and evaluates the potential of using mathematical models to support production planning in sawmills. The study was conducted in collaboration with Södra Skogsägarna ekonomisk förening, using one of their sawmills as a case for model development and evaluation. The goal of the thesis is to apply existing quantitative tools and theory from academic literature to develop a p

This thesis examines the contemporaneous effect of a fuel price increase on the fishing effort in the EU’s fleet, comparing the small-scale fleet segment and the large-scale fleet segment. Using quarterly country-level panel data on fishing effort and fuel prices from 2021 to 2023, coefficients for the fuel price elasticity of effort are estimated through two fixed effects regressions using OLS. T

This paper examines the impact of the 2022 Russian airspace closure on bilateral trade flows between four Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark) and two East Asian economies (Japan and South Korea). By employing a novel approach combining Coarsened Exact Matching with the Synthetic Control Method, a synthetic control unit is constructed for each of the sixteen country-pairs, allow

PFAS are a group of persistent and harmful chemicals that are widely used in both industrial applications and consumer products. PFAS are commonly detected in the environment and pose health concerns. Adsorption by GAC is considered an effective treatment method for removing PFAS from water. After a certain period of operation, GAC requires high-temperature incineration as disposal method. Another

Agility has emerged as a strategic ideal across many sectors, especially within financial institutions facing heightened pressure to respond swiftly to technological disruption, regulatory shifts, and market volatility. While commonly positioned as a solution to organizational inertia, agility is often promoted through leadership programs and strategic narratives that assume a shared understanding

The importance of a company’s go-to-market strategy when launching a new product cannot be stressed enough, a field that is highly researched. But what happens when a product enters a market, fails and an attempt to re-launch it is being made? Re-entry theory is a subdivision of go-to-market theory that although highly important, little research and few theories can be found, creating a gap and a

This thesis examines whether corporate green bond issuance leads to measurable improvements in environmental performance among European firms in high-emitting sectors. Using firm-level panel data from 2015–2022, we match green bond issuers with conventional bond issuers using nearest-neighbour matching with Mahalanobis distance. Employing a difference-in-differences approach, we analyse changes in
