Patent suits are among the more expensive legal endeavours a party can partake in. The best-case scenario for patentees is a cease-and-desist letter, where the threat of an impending suit convinces the alleged infringer stop altogether. If the alleged infringer insists, a court solves the matter and business may continue as usual. In the EU however, this chain of events is complicated by the possi
This thesis identifies a trend of fashion brands engaging in feminist and environmental issues through their business strategy in order to sell products to women. More specifically, it explores the relationship between gender and environmentalism in marketing campaigns within the fashion industry. Through case study research, analysis of fashion advertisement videos and semi-structured interview

In the near future, our species, and many others, face an upcoming shock in the global climate; one that could result in the potential extinction of more than just the human race. In order to combat this issue, the field of sustainability emerged throughout different sectors of society. One of the places that this topic has blossomed is within academia, and there are few things more important than
Since the 1980s, the Arctic has experienced an amplified warming of more than twice the rate of the global-mean, leading to large-scale changes in the Arctic hydrologic system, ultimately having cascading feedbacks on the global climate. However, few of today’s distributed models manage to capture the complex processes in Arctic hydrology, and therefore, the aim of this thesis was to evaluate the
The theory of optimal currency areas (OCA) states that different regions need to comply to certain criteria in order to benefit from a monetary union (Mundell(1961); McKinnon(1963) and Kenen(1969)). One of the most important OCA properties is similarity between business cycles (Masson and Taylor, 1993, p. 274). In the debate preceding EMU critiques argued that the European countries were subject t
The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is a non-indigenous species to the Baltic Sea that has drawn the attention of many researchers in the last decade due to its rapid spreading and its impact on the local fauna. With recent concerns about the dispersal of the round goby towards the North Sea, the aim of this study was to determine if the native shore crab could compete with the invaders and pr
Using the data from the United Nations Development Programme survey (2004), the thesis explores whether the incidence of chronic diseases is associated with residential segregation. Possible differences are measured for Roma communities relative to the majority population living in urban residences inhabited by minority, mixed and majority groups. The sample consists of 17,669 observations from 7
India has yet to build 70% of the buildings that will exist in 2030. The housing industry in India has been growing rapidly in an effort to keep up with increasing urbanization, population growth and aspirational consumption. Its growth is accompanied by a large ecological footprint, given the resource intensive processes involved and the large amount of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) produced. St
In any storage ring or synchrotron based light source one of the most important factors for generating light with desirable properties is the electron beam itself. The dynamics of the beam must be properly characterised and, ideally, adjusted to the desired values for the light source to be able to deliver radiation of the quality which was decided during its design. This thesis is limited to som
This paper follows changes in US banking practices since financial growth de-coupled from the real economy in 1970s, a phenomenon referred to as financialisation in post-Keynesian and Marxian literature. It is argued that financialisation is a consequence of decades of financial deregulation and neoliberal policies, that has given rise to shareholder value-oriented management structures and comple
Passive inter-modulation (PIM) shows up when two or more RF signals are mixed together via the nonlinear passive devices. With the rapid development and expansion of the wireless com-munication networks, PIM is recognized as one of the most critical issues. Especially in the base station, where several networks systems have to share the same infrastruc-ture, a few transmitted signals are physicall
In general, what affects the time allocation of people is well researched area. But when we think about the time engaged in childcare activities in terms of the differences between strong and weak family ties nations, we come across to less researched field that need more analysis. Using the Multinational Time Use Surveys information for Germany, United Kingdom, Italy and Spain for years between 2

A Peripheral Blood Film (PBF) examination with differential count (DIFF) is a common blood test, yielding quantitative and qualitative information about the blood cells of the patient important for diagnostics. The test relies on locating the monolayer, an area on the PBF slide where the cells are located in one layer. This masters thesis explores the possibilities of adopting Machine Learning (ML
The adoption of the EU directive on adequate minimum wages in 2022 was surprising for many. Due to political, legal and historical reasons the directive marks an interesting development in EU labour and social policy. Aiming to contribute to the understanding of this development, this thesis sets out to answer two questions: How did the European Commission put the Directive on adequate minimum wag
