Due to climate change, future weather conditions will become more extreme. During recent years, several severe damages have been caused by heavy rainfalls in combination with riverine events. Even though the effects of compound events are known to be influential for flood hazard, the method for investigating these types of events is a novel area of expertise. In this study, a methodology was devel

Just over seven years into the implementation of the Peace Agreement between the Colombian government and the FARC-EP in October 2016, the armed conflict has reconfigured and reactivated in several parts of the country. In the Putumayo department, tensions between the state, various armed groups, and rural communities over territory and crops for illicit use persisted, and even accentuated in the

Background: The BODY-Q is a widely used patient-reported outcome measure for comprehensive assessment of treatment outcomes specific to patients undergoing body contouring surgery (BCS). However, for the BODY-Q to be meaningfully interpreted and used in clinical practice, minimal important difference (MID) scores are needed. A MID is defined as the smallest change in outcome measure score that pat

Protesting against human rights violations is dangerous. Worldwide, human rights defenders are subject to violations ranging from harassment to murder. One way in which human rights defenders are silenced is through the misuse of the national judicial system where it is employed to punish human rights defenders for their work. Vague laws contribute to making this possible because they obfuscate th

Regelverk på nationell och internationell nivå som syftar till att uppmuntra och underlätta internationella investeringar och handel möjliggör idag för multinationella företag att verka transnationellt genom användning av filialer och dotterbolag. När det kommer till företagsbeskattning har avsaknaden av ett globalt och universellt skattesystem för att reglera internationella skattefrågor dock möjDomestic and international regulations aiming to facilitate international trade and investment today enable multinational corporations (MNCs) to operate transnationally through the use of branches or subsidiary companies. Within the field of corporate taxation, the lack of a global and universal tax system regulating international tax matters however allows MNCs to exploit gaps and loopholes withi

The increasing adherence to self-regulatory behaviour of Multinational Enterprises under Private Transnational Governance Regimes has been viewed as a step in the right direction in the improvement of Corporate Sustainability Reporting. Hence, I investigate the output effectiveness of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), environmental corporate sustainability reporting practices in accordance with t

We report on a theoretical study of the electron transport through laterally-confined, vertical double-barrier resonant-tunneling (DBRT) structures, defined as one-dimensional (1D)-0D-1D systems, with a tunable lateral confinement. The current and the differential conductance of the systems are calculated and the influence caused by varying the lateral confinement on the device characteristics is

OBJECTIVE: To develop a prediction model for major morbidity and endocrine dysfunction after CP which could help in tailoring the use of this procedure.SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Central pancreatectomy (CP) is a parenchyma-sparing alternative to distal pancreatectomy for symptomatic benign and pre-malignant tumors in body and neck of the pancreas CP lowers the risk of new-onset diabetes and exocrine

As dual career couples become increasingly common, challenges related to professional mobility, and career continuation for spouses have been exacerbated, especially for couples in international professions such as diplomacy, often leading to family strain. In response, institutional reforms such as joint posting policies have been introduced to accommodate individuals’ professional and personal n

Objective: This study examined two Death-Implicit Association Test versions targeting associations between the self-concept (standard identity D-IAT; iD-IAT) and internal versus external control (adapted control D-IAT; cD-IAT) and death among suicide attempters. Additionally, correlations with explicit psychological variables and psychometrics were explored. Method: 116 psychiatric inpatients (58.

Robotic systems often face execution failures due to unexpected obstacles, sensor errors, or environmental changes. Traditional failure recovery methods rely on predefined strategies or human intervention, making them less adaptable. This paper presents a unified failure recovery framework that combines Vision-Language Models (VLMs), a reactive planner, and Behavior Trees (BTs) to enable real-time

This thesis investigates the EU’s strategic autonomy which refers to the EU’s strive for increased independence without having to rely on other countries in important policy areas. EU strategic autonomy was introduced in 2013 and has become a higher priority due to recent geopolitical changes. The research question is how the EU balances strategic autonomy with their commitments to multilateralism

Media literacy has been described as the ability of a citizen to access, critically analyze, and produce media content for specific outcomes. It also involves an awareness of the impact of media in the society and an understanding of media processes. More so, there are scholarly views that suggest that media literacy is a foundational skill for democracy. Here, the focus is not only on a media lit

Following the current global wave of sustainable development, the EU has been playing a leading role in reshaping the global trade landscape with its ambitious sustainable trade toolboxes. Particularly, the evolvement of sustainable development provisions in EU’s Bilateral Trade Agreements (BTA) have sparked growing discussions and debates in the legal arena. This study aims to analyse the role of
