This thesis examines the extent to which EU directives on information and consultation enable employees, through employees’ representatives, to influence employer decision-making before final decisions are adopted, particularly in situations involving restructuring and collective redundancies. The analysis focuses on four central directives within the EU framework: the Information and Consultation

When Europe speaks of security, it speaks of itself. The increased security threats posed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and American protectionism has changed the geopolitical context of the European Union, which seems to have increased EU officials’ emphasis on a European identity in political speeches. Consequently, this thesis sought to investigate the link between security threats and Europe

Almost seven million Ukrainians have fled Ukraine since Russia’s large-scale invasion in February 2022. Seeking refuge in other European states, they were welcomed. However, recent analyses have emerged which point to an increasing discrimination against Ukrainian refugees who were displaced by Russia’s aggression, including in previously supportive nations like Poland. The shifting treatment and

From 2015 onwards almost every EU migration policy document has the professed objective of shaping a ‘fair, efficient, and sustainable’ migration. But what would a sustainable migration look like in terms of legal design? By focusing on the EU legal order, the article provides an answer to this question. Specifically, the article presents the findings of a critical historical study of different ar

A laboratory reactor equipped with a screw press was used for the hydrolysis of steam-SO2-exploded willow Salix caprea by a composition of Trichodemma reesei and Aspergillusfoetidus enzyme preparations at high substrate concentration. Optimal conditions providing the maximal volume of hydrolysis syrup with maximal sugar concentrations were determined. Two different hydrolysis procedures were devel

Three-dimensional numerical simulations with CO⁵, a newradiation hydrodynamics code, result in a dynamic, thermally bifurcatedmodel of the non-magnetic chromosphere of the quiet Sun. The 3D modelincludes the middle and low chromosphere, the photosphere, and the topof the convection zone, where acoustic waves are excited by convectivemotions. While the waves propagate upwards, they steep

Several genetic studies have demonstrated an association between mutations in glucocerebrosidase (GBA), originally implicated in Gaucher's disease, and an increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). We have investigated the possible involvement of genetic GBA variations in PD in the Swedish population. Three GBA variants, E326K, N370S, and L444P were screened in the largest Swedish Parkinson cohor

For many years, prostate cancer early detection was a straightforward matter of recommending biopsy to all men with an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA). This is perhaps best evidenced by the European Randomized Trial of Screening for Prostate Cancer, where an automatic biopsy is specified in the protocol and close to 90% of men with a PSA ≥3.0 ng/mL were biopsied [1]. Starting around 2010,

As the use of engineered nanomaterials increases, so does the risk of them spreading to natural ecosystems. Hitherto, knowledge regarding the toxic properties of nanoparticles (NP’s) and their potential interactions with natural bio-organic molecules adsorbed to them, and thereby forming surface coronas, is limited. However, we show here that the toxic effect of NPs of tungsten carbide cobalt (WC–

Ung och skuldtyngd ger en djupgående inblick i upplevelsen av att som ung vuxen leva med skuldsättningsproblem - överskuldsättning - i dagens moderna konsumtions- och kreditsamhälle. Under två års tid har forskarna genom upprepade etnografiska intervjuer följt 18 personer mellan 18 och 25 år som är överskuldsatta. Resultaten besvarar frågor som: Hur kommer det sig att unga personer får problem med

Changed utilization of black liquor in the pulp and paper industry has the potential to offer simplified carbon capture and, thus, negative net emissions from these large point sources. This can be achieved either by adapting existing recovery boilers to oxyfuel combustion or by replacing them with black liquor gasification technology. In this work, the chemistry during black liquor conversion was

From Heritage to Hashtag: How Luxury Brands Communicate Authenticity Strategically on TikTok The definition of a luxury brand relies on distance and constructed myth, which becomes a paradox when demand for transparency increases on social media. The aim of this study is to understand which strategy the brands Hermès, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton used to reconstruct their aura, following the reputati
