This paper investigates the impact of Trump’s opinion polls on U.S. Treasury yields during the 2016, 2020, and 2024 presidential elections. Focusing on both 2-year and 10-year yields, the study examines short- and long-term perspectives and compares the effects across the 2016 and 2024 elections. Using a GARCH-in-Mean model and the “Trump-Head-to-Head Momentum” (THHM) variable, we test three hypot

De utmaningar som dagens och kommande generationer står inför, till följd av klimatförändringarnas konsekvenser, har inga motsvarigheter i historien. Därför utmanas vårt tänkande och agerande från grunden. Som en följd av detta finns en rörelse som försöker påverka politiken och samhället i en mer hållbar riktning: klimataktivisterna. I oktober 2024 friades en klimataktivist av Stockholms tingsrätThe challenges faced by current and future generations as a result of the impacts of climate change are unprecedented. Therefore, our modes of thinking and acting are being fundamentally challenged. As a result, a new climate movement has emerged, calling on politicians to ensure sustainable policies and societies. In October 2024, a climate activist was acquitted by the Stockholm District Court o

Margin of appreciation och proportionalitetsprincipen är två centrala koncept vid begränsningar av fri- och rättigheter enligt EKMR, med avgörande betydelse för bedömningen om en rättighet har kränkts eller inte. Koncepten kan sägas öppna upp för en viss vingelmån vid tolkningen av EKMR. Margin of appreciation ger konventionsstaterna ett visst utrymme att bedöma nödvändigheten av en rättighetsbegrMargin of appreciation and the principle of proportionality are two central concepts concerning limitations on rights and freedoms under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which plays decisive roles in assessing whether a right has been violated or not. These concepts can be said to allow for a certain leeway when interpreting the ECHR. The margin of appreciation grants the contractin

Syftet med arbetet har varit att, med hjälp av bayesiansk sannolikhetsteori som bevisvärderingsmetod, kritiskt analysera svenska människohandelsmål. Detta har gjorts för att utröna om det förekommer tecken på bristande bevisvärdering från domstolarna som bidrar till att rekvisit ej anses styrkta i dessa mål där någon blir friad, och i utsträckning bidragit till bevisproblematik kring brottet. SyftThe purpose of this paper has been to critically analyze Swedish court cases of human trafficking where the accused has been acquitted of such a criminal act. The critical analysis has been executed with the aid of Bayesian probability theory as an evidence evaluation method. This has been done to determine whether there are signs of flawed evidence evaluation from the court itself which has contr

EU:s hållbarhetsarbete har under senare år fokuserat på ekonomin, där finansmarknaden spelar en avgörande roll för att uppnå en hållbar tillväxt. Förordningen om hållbarhetsrelaterade upplysningar (SFDR) utgör tillsammans med taxonomiförordningen centrala regelverk för att integrera hållbarhet i finansmarknadsaktörers riskhantering. Genom dessa regelverk ställs krav på att aktörerna tillhandahålleIn recent years, the EU’s sustainability efforts have increasingly focused on the economy, where the financial market plays a crucial role in achieving sustainable growth. The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), together with the Taxonomy Regulation, constitutes a central part of the EU’s regulatory framework for integrating sustainability into the risk management processes of financ

Denna uppsats syftar till att belysa hur social acceleration kan förstås påverka lagstiftningsprocessen och lagstiftningsprodukten. Med utgångspunkt i 36 § AvtL, undersöks hur social acceleration speglas i lagstiftningsarbetet. Detta görs särskilt i förhållande till den problembild lagstiftaren beskriver, lagens syfte och slutligen hur detta tar sig uttryck i dess utformning. För att uppnå detta sThis paper aims to shed light on the impact of social acceleration on the legislative process and the legislative product. § 36 of the Swedish Contracts Act (henceforth referred to as the Contracts Act) forms the basis for an examination of how social acceleration is reflected in the legislative process. This is in relation to the problem described by the legislator, the purpose of the law and fin

Den svenska kommersiella entreprenadrätten är huvudsakligen reglerad av framförhandlade standardavtal. Standardavtalen förhandlas fram av branschen genom representation i BKK. Idag finns två standardavtal för de två största entreprenadformerna. AB 04 reglerar standardavtalsvillkoren för utförandeentreprenader och ABT 06 reglerar villkoren för totalentreprenader. I denna uppsats är entreprenadformeSwedish commercial construction contract law is mainly governed by negotiated standard contracts. These standard contracts are developed by the industry through representation in the organisation Byggandets kontraktskommitté (BKK). Currently, there are two main standard contracts for the two most common forms of construction. AB 04 regulates the standard terms for construction contracts, while ABT

Konsumentskyddet skapar vissa särartade rättigheter som motsvarande rättshandling mellan jämställda parter inte gör. Uppsatsen använder juridisk metod för att utreda om konsumenträttigheter kan överlåtas fritt – så som andra fordringar – från en konsument till en tredje part. Konsumenters möjlighet att använda sina rättigheter kan sägas ha principiell betydelse av två skäl, dels med hänsyn till dConsumer protection gives rise to certain distinctive rights that do not arise in equivalent legal transactions between parties of equal standing. This paper employs legal methodology to examine how consumers may exercise these rights as creditors. It also analyses the outcomes from a law and economics perspective, emphasising societal benefit. The ability of consumers to assert their rights is f

In cancer cells, when two different genes are rearranged and joined, a fusion gene results and can act as a tumour driver. While many programs to predict fusion transcripts based on RNA-sequencing data do exist, the predictions contain many false positives without underlying genomic rearrangements. With the release of a new fusion validation pipeline to address this shortcoming, we have created a

Background: In the Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial (MBTST), digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) increased the detection rate of breast cancer compared to currently used digital mammography (DM). This study evaluated the cost effectiveness of DBT versus DM in Sweden using data from MBTST. Materials and method: A health economic model was used to compare a breast cancer screening programme

In recent years, the European Union (EU) has tackled the issue of free and fair competition in digital markets by enacting a regulatory framework within a specific legislation called “The Digital Markets Act” (DMA). This recently adopted regulation lays out rules and obligations binding on digital “gatekeepers”, that is undertakings operating on digital markets that provide “core platform services

The current, seemingly uninhibited, growth of AI technologies presents one of the most critical modern day quandaries. The magnitude of its potential to develop, necessitates a deeper look into the legal implications associated which this technology. This thesis aims to describe and analyse the obligations of complete data sets in Article 10 AIA and its relationship with article 5(c) GDPR, using t

With the rapid development of Digital Rights Management (DRM), Technological Protection Measures (TPM) and Rights Management Information (RMI) as components of DRM have become essential tools for safeguarding copyright. The WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) were the first international agreements to establish protections for TPM and RMI. Subsequentl

The development of the European Union’s (EU) sustainability legislation has significantly influenced its external trade policy, especially through the Trade and Sustainable Development (TSD) chapters in Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). The enforceability of these chapters has evolved from a cooperative, dialogue-based model to one that increasingly allows sanctions and legal consequences. This thesis

With Artificial Intelligence (AI) relying heavily on vast datasets, including publicly available personal online data and increasing amounts of fines for data breaches the individuals demand for control over personal data increases. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the efficacy of the GDPR in granting data subjects control over their personal data when they are used to train AI. Therefore,

This thesis examines the legal constraints imposed by EU and EEA law on the design and implementation of sector-specific resource taxation, using the aquaculture regimes of Iceland and Norway as reference models. Focusing on direct taxation, the analysis assesses compatibility with internal market freedoms and the State aid prohibition under Articles 28, 49, 63, and 107 TFEU and their EEA counterp

On 15 April 2025, the Conseil d’État (French Supreme Tax Court), for the first time, referred preliminary questions to the CJEU to determine whether the Marks & Spencer exception can apply within the French tax consolidation regime. This unprecedented referral follows years of internal divergences over the scope of a case law principle that is both central and controversial: the right, under c

This thesis examines the differing tax treatment of carried interest in Europe, focusing on Germany, the United Kingdom, and Sweden. Carried interest is a special profit-sharing mechanism commonly used in private equity funds, whereby the executives are awarded a capital disproportional share of the profits. Due to its dual nature, blending elements of both capital gains and service compensation,
