Denna uppsats undersöker hur EU:s konkurrenslagstiftning reglerar interoperabilitetsskyldigheter för dominerande digitala plattformar. Uppsatsen visar hur EU-domstolens avgörande i Android Auto (C-233/23) omformar teorin om nödvändiga nyttigheter (Essential Facilities Doctrine, EFD) som etablerades i Bronner-domen (C-7/97). Vidare analyseras denna framväxande doktrins samspel med de interoperabiliThis thesis explores how EU competition law governs interoperability obligations for dominant digital platforms. It shows how the CJEU’s judgment in Android Auto (C-233/23) redefines the Essential Facilities Doctrine (EFD) established in Bronner judgment (C-7/97) and how this emerging doctrine interacts with the interoperability obligations introduced by the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The Android

This essay discusses the notion of populist leaders using securitization to describe domestic political movements. The analysis consists of all speeches, remarks and interviews made by Trump one month after the first George Floyd protest in 2020, and one month after the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021 respectively. By using the securitization theory, especially focusing on existential t

When looking from the outside, Sweden is an exceptional country, with a tradition of neutrality and no notable colonial past; but history paints a different picture. This thesis investigates the portrayal of Sweden and the impact of narratives of Swedish exceptionalism in the Historiska Museet in Stockholm, through the analysis of the depiction of Swedish colonial history and Human Rights discours

This auto-ethnographic study explores the impacts of evangelical purity culture (EPC) on women’s relationship with their body, gender identity, sexuality, and sexual experiences, and the underlying mechanisms that drive these impacts. This work aims to bridge the significant gap in academic literature on women’s lived experiences in EPC. It encourages a thoughtful examination of this culture while

Article 102 TFEU has long been the legal framework for addressing dominant undertakings abusing their position. In the new digital era, these undertakings have been found to favour themselves through self-preferencing. Therefore, the European Commission proposed the Digital Markets Act to address the structural problems that Article 102 TFEU could not. The DMA targets gatekeepers, who often hold d

The establishment of Indonesian AID can be seen as Indonesia’s official statement to the world on its intent of playing a more prominent role as a donor of international development aid. However, looking at the available data, it seems that Indonesian AID is still deep in the early days of its establishment. Little seems to have gone into “enforcing” its role as donor, with “reorganizing” seeming

Collecting enough labeled images to train an artificial neural network (ANN) is a common struggle since the process is tedious, time consuming and expensive. CellaVision, a company that creates analyzers that automate the process of finding and pre-classifying abnormal blood cells using machine learning, runs into this problem regularly. When new generations of analyzers are being produced, the im

The purpose of this study is to explore what organisational capabilities are needed to monetise on the value of a digital transaction platform during a business model transformation. The study brings forward six capabilities which are divided into the three themes: enable, create and capture. To enable value on the platform, the capabilities innovative mindset and supportive leadership are assumed

Abstract: The Demand-Control Model and the Effort-Reward-Imbalance Model are two models of occupational health that connects psychosocial work factors to health. Related research has often focused on small and homogenous samples and has rarely taken into account the eventual intermediating effect of different welfare regimes. Furthermore results regarding gender have been ambiguous. Through logist

I al Hol och al Roj-lägren i nordöstra Syrien hålls kvinnor och barn med misstänkta kopplingar till terroristgruppen Islamiska Staten frihetsberövade under prekära humanitära- och säkerhetsförhållanden. Representanter för Förenta nationerna (FN) har likställt förhållandena med tortyr eller omänsklig eller förnedrande behandling eller bestraffning. I början av 2021 uppmanade FN stater att ta hem (rIn the al Hol and al Roj camps in the north-eastern parts of the Syrian Arab Republic, women and children allegedly affiliated with the terrorist group the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant are detained in precarious humanitarian and security conditions that have been equated with torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment by the United Nations. In early 2021, the United Nat

Att bygga material av proteiner är en konst som våra kroppar är specialister på. Men när vi medvetet försöker designa proteinmaterial, så blir det tydligt hur komplexa och svårstyrda biofysikens lagar är. Det här examensarbetet har som mål att lägga grunden för ett proteinmaterial som kan skapas eller dissociera som respons på förändrad Ca2+-koncentration. Om ett sådant material kan framställas meTo build materials of proteins is an art that nature is a specialists in. But when we actively try to design protein materials, it becomes clear how complex and hard to control the biophysical world is. This master thesis aims to lay the foundation for a protein material that forms and dissociates as a response to changed Ca2+ concentration. If such a material is to be produced with an ordered str

The aim of this project is to establish a workflow that transforms CT-scanned images of paperboard into a calibrated Representative Volume Element (RVE). A RVE is defined as the smallest volume that accurately captures the macroscopic behaviour of the material. First, CT-scanned images are converted into a finite element model that rep- resents the microstructure of the paperboard. Secondly, a di

Bioacoustic sound event detection (SED) is a critical field for biodiversity monitoring, yet the high cost of annotating data poses significant challenges. This thesis explores the application of active learning strategies to reduce the amount of annotated data required for effective model training. This is done for a segment based SED model, where batch active learning is performed by querying fu

The need for speed in communications systems is increasingly prevalent in modern society, which is one of the driving factors for the evolution of new technologies. At the forefront of this evolution are Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Through the usage of many antennas at the base station (BS) and user equipment (UE), significantly enhances the potential maximum data transfer rates

Introduction Firefighters have increased risk of chronic respiratory disease. Standard clinical techniques used in medical checkups may not detect the earliest microstructural changes in peripheral airways. A new technique called Airspace Dimension Assessment (AiDA) has been shown to enable early detection of emphysema in COPD. This method may be useful in the occupational setting to detect early

In order to ensure that ovarian cancer patients access appropriate treatment to improve the outcome of this disease, accurate characterization before any surgery on ovarian pathology is essential. The International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) collaboration has standardized the approach to the ultrasound description of adnexal pathology. A prospectively collected large database enabled previously

This paper analyses the economic impact of Transnational Corporations through their activities across Global Value Chains (GVCs), using Mexico as baseline country. By exploiting the UNCTAD-Eora Global Value Chain database, we conduct an exploratory research methodology. We first unfold the relationship between GVC trade and economic development by disaggregating GVC trade into its two components (

The Standard Model of particle physics (SM) attempts to describe the fundamental particles and how they interact with each other. This model is however incomplete, as shown by various experimental observations. ATLAS is one of the experiments currently in operation at the Large Hadron Collider, which aims to search for new physics beyond the SM. To perform these searches, many ATLAS analyses look

This study evaluates and compares four green roof methods with the purpose to calculate how many green roofs that potentially can be built on already existing buildings in a city. The methods are created for the cities Braunschweig, Thessaloniki, Lisbon and Lund. All of the methods mainly use Geospatial Information Systems and remote sensing analysis as tools. In order to answer the research quest
