Regulation 2026/261 is an economic sanction package banning imports of natural gas from the Russian Federation into the European Union. Given that there are many long-term gas supply agreements between EU importers and Russian exporters, the Regulation creates a legal problem: parties can no longer perform their contractual obligations, yet the applicable law may not offer them a clear exit route.
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
Virtual reality is increasingly used in evacuation research because it allows human behaviour to be studied in controlled and safe experimental conditions. At the same time, behavioural observation alone may not fully explain how participants perceive, process, and respond to emergency cues. This thesis explores the potential role of electroencephalography (EEG) in VR evacuation experiments, with
This thesis explores 4D reconstruction in sparse fixed-camera settings for virtual reality visualization. Gaussian Splatting provides an efficient representation for static and dynamic scenes, but most existing pipelines rely on dense multi-view capture or sufficient camera motion. This project focuses on a constrained setting with only four fixed cameras observing a dynamic human object, where li
This thesis explores the development of a compact, optics free and low-cost biosensing platform based on direct on-chip detection of bioluminescence using a complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor. This work is motivated by the need and challenge of combining the high sensitivity of optical biosensing in laboratories with the simplicity and portability required for point-of-car
Streets of Recovery explores how urban environments affect stress levels and how streets can be designed to support well-being. While existing research largely emphasises parks and green spaces, this study focuses on streets as everyday environments with the potential to influence stress. If urban environments shape stress levels, they also hold the potential to mitigate them. The thesis examines
This study aimed to examine and analyze how healthcare social workers in paediatric care describe their experiences of the organizational conditions surrounding their work in connection with child deaths. The study was based on qualitative interviews with eight healthcare social workers employed in different organizations within the Southern Healthcare Region in Sweden. The empirical material was
Krig och konflikter världen över har lett till ett ökat intresse för och behov av försvar. Förhörssituationer har tidigare färgats av inhumana tillvägagångssätt och tortyr för att bryta motstånd hos den förhörde och få relevant information trots att tidigare forskning har visat att dessa metoder är ineffektiva. Denna studie syftade till att undersöka hur effektiv användning av olika förhörsteknikeWar and conflicts worldwide have increased both the interest in, and the need for defence. Historically, interrogation contexts have been characterized by inhumane approaches, such as torture, aimed at breaking resistance and obtaining information, despite previous research, demonstrating the ineffectiveness of such methods. The aim of this study was to examine how the effective use of different i
The scaling of high-mobility and superconducting transistors places strict demands on electrostatic control, making the gate capacitance a key factor for both performance and operational stability. In hybrid structures that combine semiconductors and superconductors, parasitic capacitances become particularly important, as fringing fields and heterogeneous material interfaces cause the total capac
Cultural spaces remain underexplored in sustainable urban transformation research. Berlin’s club culture is entangled with contested urban spaces and currently threatened by acute urbanization pressures. This qualitative case study draws on six expert interviews and participant observation to explore club culture’s role in Berlin’s sustainability transformation, interpreted through cultural sustai
Society is facing significant demographic changes, including declining birth rates and an increasing elderly population, which have direct implications for municipal facility planning. These shifts are expected to result in a growing surplus of preschool and over time also school buildings. At the same time housing shortages remain in many urban areas and there is an increasing demand of elderly c
Mangroves are crucial tropical and subtropical coastal ecosystems in decline. In Kenya, 20% have been lost with degradation reaching nearly 90% in Mombasa’s Tudor Creek mangrove forest, mainly due to logging for livelihoods. Despite ongoing restoration efforts, plural values of mangroves and their representation in monitoring are insufficiently understood. Drawing on the IPBES typology of nature’s
Consumers are key players in mitigating climate change. Vietnam experienced Southeast Asia’s fastest economic growth, leading to modern lifestyles, while interest in organic products is growing, especially in urban areas. This study explores the motivations driving this interest among Gen Z by applying the concept of inner transformation, which links personal values and beliefs to sustainable chan
Green infrastructure (GI) has become a central instrument of post-industrial urban renewal, yet the gap between its visionary ecological promises and on-the-ground outcomes remains underexplored. This thesis examines that gap in the German Ruhr area, where sustainable urban development has been pursued through three successive event-led strategies: the IBA Emscher Park, the Green Capital of Europe
Humanity is faced with multiple interconnected crises, ranging from the climate breakdown to searing inequalities. There is thus an urgent need to move towards a different socio-political-economic system. Degrowth scholars envision a post-capitalist society centered around ecological and social wellbeing. One way to get there is by building on existing interstitial initiatives. At the same time su
As the EU accelerates its climate ambitions, the governance of logistics emissions reporting has become an increasingly contested and complex challenge. Despite growing regulatory ambition, alignment between governance frameworks across levels remains largely underexplored. This study examines EU multi-level governance of logistics emissions reporting, drawing on policy coherence theory and applyi
Datacenter utgör en central del av den digitala infrastrukturen, och efterfrågan på datacenterkapacitet ökar snabbt i takt med digitalisering, AI-utveckling och framväxten av det smarta samhället. Samtidigt står datacenterbranschen inför betydande utmaningar kopplade till ett energisystem under omställning samt en tilltagande geopolitisk osäkerhet som aktualiserat frågor om digital suveränitet och
Introduction: Neuroinflammation is a key feature of neurodegenerative diseases, such as PD. Emerging evidence suggests that endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), epigenetically silenced relics of ancient viral infections, may become reactivated under inflammatory conditions and contribute to the inflammatory process and disease progression. Background: Previous work from the Jakobsson group has shown a
Energigemenskaper lyfts som en del i omställningen till ett mer hållbart energisystem, där lokal produktion, lagring och delning av energi kan öka användningen av förnybar energi. Samtidigt innebär ny teknik en ökad klimatpåverkan i tillverkningsskedet, vilket gör att den totala klimatnyttan inte är självklar. Idag är det svenska elsystemet redan till stor del fossilfritt och förutsättningarna skiEnergy communities are increasingly recognized as a key element in the transition towards a more sustainable energy system, enabling local production, storage and sharing of energy. However, new technologies also introduce additional climate impacts from manufacturing, making the overall climate benefit uncertain. The Swedish energy system is already to a large extent fossil-free, and the conditio
Introduction: Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) catalyses the final rate-limiting step of glycolysis and contributes to cancer metabolism through its ability to shift between different oligomeric states linked to the Warburg effect. Background: Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), including PARP14 and PARP15, mediate ADP-ribosylation of target proteins and are involved in cancer-associated signalling pat
