This thesis examines recent years’ unresolved conflicts on the state’s right to regulate and the protection of foreign investors in ‘climate blind’ energy agreements, such as the Energy Charter Treaty. One of the primary disputes among them is the vague language of indirect expropriation in traditional International Investment Agreements (IIAs), which mostly favours investor protection. While IIAs

Gängkriminalitet är ett ämne som framställts av flertalet svenska nyhetsartiklar under de senaste åren. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur unga kvinnor delaktiga i gängkriminalitet framställs i svenska nyhetsartiklar mellan 2023 och 2025. Den syftar även till att undersöka hur deras framställningar kan förstås i relation till samhälleliga föreställningar om kvinnlig kriminalitet. Valet gr

BackgroundCytoreductive surgery is central to the management of advanced ovarian cancer. As the extent of surgery varies widely, assessment of postoperative risk is challenging. The Karolinska Surgical Extent and Complexity Score (K-SECS) was developed to quantify surgical extent and has previously been associated with survival. This study evaluated whether K-SECS is also associated with major pos

This thesis discusses how teachers’ experiences of teaching online is related to how they chose to teach. Previous research has shown that contextual factors can influence how teachers go about their teaching, and when university courses leave the physical campus and move to an online environment, this entails a change of context. The research presented here focuses on teachers’ experiences and ch

In this thesis, a high-repetition-rate attosecond light source based on high-order harmonic generation in gases was used to perform time-resolved electron spectroscopy in atoms and solids. The source was driven by few-cycle near-infrared laser pulses with a controllable carrier-to-envelope phase, enabling the generation of sequences of two to four attosecond pulses in the extreme ultraviolet range

Elbussar har blivit en allt vanligare syn i stadstrafiken de senaste åren. På kort tid har utvecklingen gått från enstaka fordon och testprojekt till elektrifiering av en betydande del av den svenska bussflottan. Elektrifiering av busstrafiken anses vara en viktig del i att nå mål om minskad klimatpåverkan och nollutsläpp, och kollektivtrafiken har kommit längre än andra delar av transportsektorn

Many seriously ill and frail older people experience a lack of practical support and meaningful social engagement. While healthcare provides good medical support, it lacks the full competence and resources to help with social, practical and existential challenges that can arise near the end-of-life. Increasingly, resources in civil society are enlisted to fill this care gap. One such attempt to br

INTRODUCTION: Cognitive impairment is common in parkinsonian disorders, but its extent among older adults with subtle motor abnormalities without a diagnosed movement disorder remains unclear. We examined cognitive decline, domain-specific cognitive function and incident dementia in older adults with subthreshold parkinsonism and parkinsonism (primary analysis). Sensitivity analyses were repeated

Trots att det är ett fundamentalt begrepp inom global hälsa och utveckling är det förvånansvärt svårt att fånga vad solidaritet innebär. Denna artikel börjar med en diskussion av vad som karakteriserar solidaritet, inklusive uppfattade och verkliga spänningar mellan egenintresse och solidaritet inom internationellt bistånd. Därvid bygger den på illustrativa exempel ur historien om svenskt bistånd,Although it is a fundamental concept in global health and development, soli-darity is surprisingly hard to capture. This essay first discusses characteris-tics of solidarity, including perceived and real tensions between self-interest and solidarity in international aid. In doing so, it draws upon illustrative ex-amples from Sweden’s aid history, as well as international vaccine solidarity during

Recent advances in instrumentation have sparked a transformative journey in materials science, providing insights into the intricate relationship between processing, structure and properties. Among them, cutting-edge in situ micro- and nanoscale mechanical characterization methods, equipped with exceptional spatial and temporal resolution, such as instrumented electron microscopy, X-ray imaging an

Neuromorphic hardware can mitigate the unsustainable energy demand of artificial intelligence infrastructure. Photonic approaches provide high speed, low energy, and high connectivity but existing solutions have large circuit footprints which limits scaling potential and they miss key biological functions, like inhibition. We report a nano-optoelectronic artificial neuron with at least 100-fold re

Sensing technologies offer several advantages for industrial tooling. In mechanical processing and manufacturing environments, sensors can be used to monitor process conditions, support predictive maintenance, reduce unnecessary material losses, and improve overall production efficiency. Therefore, as manufacturing systems become more advanced and data-driven, the integration of sensors has become

This thesis project, Spatial Practices of Ageing Well in Place, explores how collaborative housing can be spatially reinterpreted to support ageing in place in low-income, kinship-based rural villages in China. Based on the fieldwork in Quanfang Village, the project proposes a small-scale housing prototype that responds to the weakening of family-based care. Rather than applying collaborative hous

I svensk rätt gäller som utgångspunkt att åklagaren har bevisbördan för de omständigheter som ingår i gärningsbeskrivningen och det ska vara ställt utom rimligt tvivel att den tilltalade är skyldig till den åtalade gärningen för att denne ska kunna dömas för brott. Vid invändningar om nödvärn gäller emellertid ett annat, lägre beviskrav. För att en nödvärnsinvändning ska anses vara motbevisad ska As a general rule in Swedish law, the prosecutor bears the burden of proof for the circumstances included in the statement of the criminal act, and it must be established beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the alleged act in order for the defendant to be convicted of a criminal offence. In cases involving claims of self-defence, however, a different and lower standard of proof ap

Denna uppsats behandlar förslaget i SOU 2025:99, Ändring av permanent uppehållstillstånd för vissa utlänningar, i ljuset av rätten till skydd för privat- och familjeliv i Europakonventionen. Förslaget innebär att permanenta uppehållstillstånd som beviljats vissa grupper av utlänningar som huvudregel ska återkallas och ersättas med tidsbegränsade uppehållstillstånd. Om en utlänning inte uppfyller kThis essay examines the proposal set out in SOU 2025:99, ‘Amendment of permanent residence permits for certain foreign nationals’, in the light of the right to respect for private and family life under the European Convention on Human Rights. The proposal entails that permanent residence permits granted to certain groups of foreign nationals shall, as a rule, be revoked and replaced with temporary

Den 1 januari 2024 trädde lag (2023:875) om tilläggsskatt i kraft vilken införlivar rådets direktiv (EU) 2022/2523 av den 15 december 2022 om säkerställande av en global minimi skattenivå för multinationella koncerner och storskaliga nationella koncerner i unionen. Direktivet är införandet av OECD:s modellregler beträffande global minimibeskattning inom Europeiska unionen. Reglerna om global minimOn 1 January 2024, the Top-up Tax Act (2023:875) entered into force, implementing Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 of 15 December 2022 on ensuring a global minimum level of taxation for multinational enterprise groups and large-scale domestic groups in the Union. The Directive constitutes the implementation of the OECD’s model rules on global minimum taxation within the European Union. The rules o

This thesis examines the interpretation of fundamental breach under Article 25 of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, focusing on judicial divergences between Germany and France in the context of supply-chain disruptions occurring between 2019 and 2025. Article 25 establishes substantial deprivation of contractual expectations as the gateway to avoidance
