This paper investigates the relationship between debt, time and power by studying over-indebted young adults’ lived experiences of temporality. Empirically, the paper is based on recurrent interviews with 18 over-indebted young adults (aged 18–25) in Sweden and is analytically centred on three phases of indebtedness: entering the credit market, becoming over-indebted, and being over-indebted. The

This thesis seeks to analyse the current legal regime on copyright and trade marks in relation to classic European folklore, specifically fairy tales; and to verify whether this regime satisfies the European Union’s goals to safeguard cultural heritage in light of intellectual property protection. For that purpose, the thesis proposes a review of legislation, case law, and literature. It departs f

Konsumtion. Det är en nödvändighet för människors överlevnad. Samtidigt har dagens konsumtions effekter på klimatet som just försvårar framtida förutsättningar för överlevnad – för människor såväl som för andra arter. Detta till följd av bland annat de växthusgaser som släpps ut från produktionen – och förbränningen – av de produkter vi människor konsumerar. Av den genomsnittliga svenskens konsumtThe public sector is responsible for 28 percent of the average Swedish citizen’s consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe). Looking at purchasing categories with the highest GHGe, consumables – products like paper and single use items – play a significant role. The first step in becoming more circular and reducing waste is often to completely refrain from purchases when possible. However,

AI-genererade verk har ökat snabbt under det senaste årtiondet och skakat om EU:s immaterialrättsliga landskap. Tack vare dessa intelligenta system kan individer idag skapa verk som överträffar mänskligt hantverk på bara några minuter. Verk som utnyttjar AI, särskilt autonoma produkter, utmanar de trad-itionella uppfattningar som upphovsrättslagstiftningen bygger på. Frågan om dessa verk kan erhålAI-generated works have rapidly increased during the past decade, shaking up the EU intellectual property landscape. Thanks to these intelligent systems, individuals today can create works that outshine human craftsmanship in a matter of minutes. Works utilizing AI, particularly autonomous outputs, challenge the traditional notions that copyright law relies on. The question of whether these output

Vindkraftverken skjuter i höjden i och med att tekniken blir allt bättre. Detta medan de verk som står ute och snurrar på de allra bästa platserna börjar närma sig slutet på sin livstid. I ljuset av rådande klimatproblem samt samhällets behov av energi kan så kallad repowering, det vill säga uppgradering av anläggningar som producerar förnybar energi vara en möjlighet. Uppgraderingarna görs för atIn the context of the current climate crisis and a growing need for electricity, renewable energy plays an important role. Repowering means upgrading existing renewable energy production with new, more efficient technology to increase production in older sites. Wind-power technology has developed significantly in the last few years and upgrading wind parks in the most suitable locations is relevan

Urban trees are uniquely valuable in towns and cities for the ecosystem services they provide their citizens and can as such be considered a potent source of public goods and positive externalities - even when these trees are found on private properties. The importance of urban trees will only grow as events of severe heat and extreme rainfall become more and more frequent and the urgency to reduc

Introduction: Discovering and characterizing protein interaction partners can provide valuable insights into key functions. It can also enable the structure determination of small and flexible proteins by providing rigidity through the formation of protein complexes. Background: To date, there are no protein structures of full-length PARP15 in the protein data bank (PDB). Utilizing binding partn

Water for Injection (WFI) is a critical utility in pharmaceutical manufacturing, traditionally produced through an energy-intensive distillation process. This thesis investigates the feasibility of a more sustainable alternative, ambient WFI production using membrane-based purification technologies combined with ozonation in the storage and distribution loop. Conducted in collaboration with AstraZ

Detta projekt avsåg att optimera ett automatiskt backspolande filter för emulsionspolymerer på the Dow Chemical Companys anläggning i Landskrona, samt att jämföra det med det befintliga påsfiltersystemet. Då filtret använder färdigprodukten för att backspola filtret fokuserade optimeringen på att minska mängden produkt som spolas ut, så kallat reject, då detta medför avfallskostnader och förlust aThis project aimed to optimize an automatic backwash filter for emulsion polymers at the Dow Chemical Company's facility in Landskrona, and to compare it with the existing cartridge filter system. Since the filter uses the finished product to backwash the filter, the optimization focused on reducing the amount of product that is flushed out, so-called reject, as this entails disposal costs and

Introduction: PARP14 is a member of the PARP superfamily of enzymes, which are responsible for the ADP-ribosylation of target proteins and nucleic acids. The enzyme performs mono-ADP-ribosylation of its targets and is involved in many cellular processes, including DNA repair, cellular differentiation and apoptosis. PARP14 is specifically regarded as a writer, reader, as well as an eraser of ADP-ri

The rapid evolution of digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) has fundamentally altered how agreements are formed and executed. Automated contract formations occur when contracts are initiated, negotiated or concluded by software agents or systems with minimal or no human intervention. This presents challenges to traditional legal concepts such a

Fragmentbaserad läkemedelsutveckling (FBDD) har på senare tid utvecklats som en lovande alternativ metod för att identifiera svåråtkomliga bindningsställen, såsom små fickor eller allosteriska säten. Weak affinity chromatography (WAC™) är en FBDD-metod där dissociationskonstanten kan beräknas genom att jämföra retentionstiden på en proteinkolonn med en referenskolonn. Målet med projektet är att möFragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) has in recent years emerged as an interesting method to target challenging binding sites, such as allosteric sites or small pockets. Weak Affinity Chromatography (WAC™) is a FBDD technology where dissociation constants of injected compounds are determined by comparing retention times between a protein column to a reference column. The goal of this project was t

Tillgång till rent vatten och fungerande avloppssystem är en grundläggande samhällsfunktion som kommunerna ansvarar för att tillhandahålla. Dessa funktioner möjliggörs genom omfattande nätverk av VA-ledningar som ofta placeras i kommunalägd mark. När VA-verksamheten bedrivs genom kommunala bolag eller kommunalförbund uppstår frågor om markupplåtelseersättning till kommunen. Det saknas tydliga riktAccess to clean water and functioning sewage water systems is a fundamental municipal responsibility, often realized through extensive networks of pipes placed in municipally owned land. When water and sewage water services are managed through municipal companies or inter-municipal associations, questions arise regarding compensation to the municipality for the use of municipal land. The lack of c

Vi översköljs dagligen av olika typer av information, men vad avgör om vi bedömer den som trovärdig eller inte? Tidigare studier har visat att gemene person bedömer sekretessbelagd information som mer trovärdig än offentlig. Kan detta gälla för alla? Finns det andra grupper som inte bedömer sekretessmarkerad information som mer trovärdig? Mitt examensarbete undersöker räddningstjänstpersonal och sInformation management is a central part of organizations in today´s society, and critical research is continuously made to assess the reliability of sources. Previous studies have suggested that information with confidential sources tends to be perceived as more credible compared to open sources. The aim of the thesis was to analyze the perceived credibility of information from confidential versu

Introduction: During the crosslinking process of high voltage cables, by-products are formed that affect the electrical properties of the cables, therefore these must be detected and quantified to improve manufacturing of high voltage cables. Background: Understanding conduction mechanism and insulation systems is essential for improving cable performance and preventing failures in high voltage d

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
