Biocatalytic systems using enzymes in organic solvents open up the possibility of performing a whole range of reactions which would not normally occur under physiological conditions. The ability to perform reverse hydrolysis, or to convert substances relatively insoluble in aqueous environments on a scale of practical value in commercial applications are among those reactions for which water-poor
The risk of contralateral slipping in slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) has been estimated to be 40-80% in follow-up examinations. Before age 50 years. 25% of the contralateral hips with untreated slipping showed arthrosis, some severe. In the same long-term follow-up, no hip with mild or moderate slipping treated with pinning in situ had developed severe arthrosis at that age, indicating t
Two groups of normal subjects were submitted to repeated automated static threshold perimetry. Perimetric results were strongly affected by the level of experience in some subjects; in the majority, however, the effect of experience was small. Initial field tests often showed high numbers of depressed points. Sensitivity increased with perimetric training, particularly between the first sessions.
Facing the increasing network illegal file sharing through BitTorrent and alike, the EU law has no unified copyright law to regulate this issue. This paper analyzes relevant case laws, relevant legal regulations and the current situation of BitTorrent. Within the stream of the BitTorrent downloading. Each participant (such as end-users, BitTorrent service provider and Internet service provider) ne
The master’s thesis explores how employees in private and public sector organisations use AI-Powered tools in organizational decision-making and what benefits and challenges they experience from using such tools. Further, the study explores how these tools can be leveraged to support better decisions. For this, qualitative research was conducted, where data were collected through interviews with e
This thesis examines Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and financial inclusion, two factors suggested by the previous literature to potentially reduce women’s risk of IPV. For this purpose, data from a cross-sectional health survey on Burkinabe women aged 15 to 49 who were married or living with their intimate partner was analyzed. Results from a multilevel logistic regression ana
The study explores possible determinants of fertility in Costa Rica, in the context of a fertility decline between 2010 and 2024, using a double hurdle model. The research considers household, female, and male characteristics, as well as intra-household bargaining dynamics. Key findings include a consistent negative effect of income on fertility, supporting the quantity-quality trade-off theory. E
Russia has utilized hybrid warfare techniques to expand its influence and obtain key strategic objectives during its annexation of Crimea in 2014, and its 2015 military intervention in Syria. The increased global isolation Russia experienced proceeding its annexation of Crimea, prompted a strategic pivot towards the African continent for resources and new alliances. This motive was further intensi
This qualitative study provides a critical lens on social enterprises. The concept of purpose-driven control, a form of normative control, is established, which comprises how organizational practices, grounded in a social and/or environmental purpose, are used to foster organizational identification and employee commitment, leading to behavioral alignment and extraordinary efforts as well as the p
The chirality-flow formalism is an extension of the spinor-helicity formalism in which scattering amplitudes are represented as diagrams of oriented flow lines between external spinors, which allows spinor bracket products to be read off easily. While the formalism has been explored and implemented for QED and QCD interactions, its application has not been explored systematically in the full elect
The artificial intelligence boom has led to demand and growth of datacentres and its associated infrastructure in semi-peripheral markets such as Malaysia which is emerging as a new regional hub in Southeast Asia. Drawing on theoretical frameworks of geopolitical ecology and ecologically unequal exchange, this thesis uses process tracing alongside a social network analysis approach to investigate

This thesis interrogates Rome’s housing cooperative sector, focusing on the challenges and opportunities housing cooperatives face in providing affordable housing for their members. It analyses Rome’s housing regime to present the housing context in which housing cooperatives operate. The thesis explores what housing affordability means within the eternal city, moving beyond a simple income ratio
Environmental claims have become a familiar feature of fashion marketing. On social media, however, they are rarely communicated in isolation. A state ment about recycled materials may appear alongside personal styling, aesthetic imagery and an influencer's endorsement. The challenge for EU consumer law is that the environmental meaning of such content may not lie in the wording alone, but in
