‘’Brandscapes: Rethinking fashion retail spaces in a digital age’’ explores the evolving role of branded environments in response to ongoing digital and economic shifts. As online platforms and e-commerce reshape consumer behavior, physical retail spaces face challenges justifying their presence and redefining their relevance. Rather than viewing these environments as solely transactional, this th
Sexualbrott mot barn utgör en särskilt komplex kategori av brottmål där be-visningen ofta i huvudsak består av barnets utsaga. För att skydda barnet från ytterligare psykisk påfrestning härs barnet i regel inte muntligen inför rätten, utan utsagan förebringas genom videoförhör från förundersökningen. Denna ordning innebär avsteg från principerna om muntlighet och omedelbarhet vilka normalt utgör cSexual offences against children constitute a particularly complex category of criminal cases, in which the evidence often consists primarily of the child´s statement. In order to protect the child from further psychological strain, the child is generally not heard orally before the court. Instead, the statement is presented through video-recorded interviews from the preliminary investigat-ion. Th
This bachelor's thesis examines the ambiguous fantastic in four short stories by Dino Buzzati: “Sette piani” (1937), “Il colombre” (1961), “Suicidio al parco” (1966), and “Il cane che ha visto Dio” (1958), drawn from the collections Sessanta racconti and Il colombre e altri cinquanta racconti. Drawing primarily on Tzvetan Todorov's seminal definition of the fantastic — characterised by the
Det är mycket fokus på hållbarhet och målet att uppnå Agenda 2030 inom byggbranschen. Studien ska därför undersöka hur och om detta går att uppnå med hjälp av kravställning vid upphandling enligt LOU. Går det att använda upphandlingar som ett verktyg och hur gör upphandlarna detta? Finns det några utmaningar för de mindre kommunerna och kommunala fastighetsbolagen? Uppsatsens syfte är att undersökThere is a strong focus on sustainability and goal of achieving Agenda 2030 within the construction industry. The study will therefore investigate how and if this can be achieved through the use of requirements in public procurement under the Public Procurement Act (LOU). Can procurement be used as a tool, and how do procurement officers approach this? Are there challenges for smaller municipaliti
When producing biological drugs, homogeneity within and between batches is of great importance to protect public health from sources of variability. Most biopharmaceuticals are proteins, and proteins tend to undergo post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation. As this may impact potency and immunogenicity, accurately controlling and measuring the glycosylation of a biological drug is n
The annual plastic production was over 400 million tonnes in 2023 and it is expected to keep growing over the years. The increasing use of fossil-based materials and problems regarding the environmental impact of plastic waste motivate the transition towards a circular economy. Interest in 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has increased due to the possibility of being a biobased building block in the
Denna uppsats undersöker fem centrala aktörer kring händelserna mellan statskupp och antagandet av en ny regeringsform i Sverige 1809. I traditionell historieskrivning, främst förespråkad av Fredrik Lagerroth, har dessa händelser beskrivits som en revolution. Syftet med denna uppsats relaterar till forskningsproblemet och motsatsförhållandet mellan Sveriges ”revolution” 1809 och andra revolutionerThis study examines five key actors in the events between the coup and the adoption of a new constitution in Sweden in 1809. In traditional historiography, mainly advocated by Fredrik Lagerroth, these events has been described as a revolution. The purpose of this study relates to the research problem and understanding of Sweden's "revolution" in 1809 and other revolutions such as the
This thesis examines the role of beamlines with publication metadata from the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF a large scientific facility offering diverse conditions for scientific research. As a user-oriented Big Science facility, the ESRF channels extremely brilliant light into different experimental areas called beamlines that house specific instruments that cater to the needs of
The immune system is remarkable in many ways. It exerts immunity to defend us from foreign pathogens, while it is also responsible for maintaining tolerance to avoid autoimmune diseases and allergy. This thesis includes three separate papers concerning both tolerance and immunity. In paper I we report that repeated antigen stimulation results in an increased proportion of Foxp3+ cells in the CD4+
Biobased economy is becoming a central strategy to decouple industrial production from fossil feedstock and thus to tackle global warming. Consequently there has been an interest in developing technologies for the production of chemicals, materials, and fuels from renewable bio-based feedstock. This can be achieved thanks to industrial biotechnology and metabolic engineering. Protocatechuic acid (
Evaluation of other cultures is a strong force in a culture's definition of itself. Cultures are formed in encounters that include domination, conflict, and dismissal as much as appreciation and smooth exchange. In this paper, the construction of cultural identity is discussed, with reference to a Scandinavian Theme Park proposal made in cooperation between American design consultants and a local
Density-gradient centrifugation of bovine tracheal epithelial cell extracts revealed a 'high-density' (1.48 g/ml) sialic-acid-rich population as well as a 'low-density' (1.42 g/ml) one that reacted more strongly with a periodate-Schiff (PAS) assay. The sialic-acid-rich mucins were oligomeric molecules containing disulphide-bond-linked subunits and large glycosylated domains, whereas the PAS-reacti
Portfolio optimization is a central problem in finance, with traditional approaches of- ten relying on forecasts of expected returns and covariances. With the growing adoption of machine learning in finance, return forecasting using ML techniques has become in- creasingly common. More recently, an alternative approach has been proposed where the portfolio weights are learned directly, bypassing th
The aim of this thesis is to investigate how queer students in Danish upper-secondary schools expe- rience and navigate their school environments and how this is influenced by institutional practices. As such, this thesis adopts a dual perspective on queer students by investigating experiences of and agency within school environments, in the form of how they choose to respond to situations of dis-
Polyolefins make up the majority of all plastics produced and can be found in a range of applications. Simultaneously, 60% of all plastics are not being recycled, and consequently are accumulating in the environment where it poses serious threats to both the environment, human health, and economies. Current attempts to address the problem have had limited success. An emerging solution is biodegrad
Företagsförvärv spelar en viktig roll för en fungerande marknadsekonomi. Vid ett förestående företagsförvärv finns det flera viktiga steg innan förvärvet är genomfört. Transaktionsprocessen brukar delas in i tre faser, nämligen stra-tegifasen, transaktionsfasen och integrationsfasen. Alla delar spelar en viktig roll för att ro ett företagsförvärv i hamn. En av de mest centrala delarna under transMergers and acquisitions play an important role in the functioning of a market economy. When an acquisition is imminent, there are several important steps before the acquisition is completed. The transaction process is usually divided into three phases: the strategy phase, the transaction phase and the integration phase. All of them play an important role in bringing an acquisition to a suc-cessfu
Denna uppsats syftar till att kritiskt analysera 2022 års reform av anställ-ningsskyddet i förhållande till uppsägning på grund av personliga skäl, med särskilt fokus på hur förändringarna påverkat arbetstagares rättsliga ställning. Reformen innebar dels en ny utformning av prövningen av sakliga skäl enligt 7 § LAS, dels en möjlighet att genom kollektivavtal avvika från den lagstadgade innebörden
Denna uppsats undersöker hur det svenska genomförandet av de nya gränsförfarandena, som del av EU:s nya migrations- och asylpakt, kan påverka asylsökandes rätt till frihet under artikel 5 i Europakonventionen. Fokus ligger på screeningförfarandet, asylgränsförfarandet och gränsförfarandet för återvändande, vilka tillsammans skapar en ny inresefas vid ankomst till Unionen. Pakten bygger på den rättThis thesis examines how the Swedish implementation of the new border procedures, as part of the new EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, may affect asylum seekers’ right to liberty under Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The focus is on the screening procedure, the asylum border procedure and the return border procedure, which together create a new pre-entry phase when arriving to
From the mid-2000s onwards, deep and comprehensive bilateral ‘new generation’ free trade agreements (NGFTAs) became the central instrument of the European Union’s (EU) Common Commercial Policy (CCP). The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the EU and Canada was initially praised for its innovative scope and design and intended to serve as an archetype for future EU trade agre
