The current COVID-19 pandemic has confused markets and economies, leading competition authorities around the world to consider how to apply competition law in these exceptional circumstances. Competition authorities have introduced tools that have not previously been used in competition law and have succeeded in providing companies with prompt advice in cases of extreme urgency. The COVID-19 crisi
This thesis presents a comparative legal analysis of the dispute settlement mechanisms embedded in the EU–UK Withdrawal Agreement (WA), the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), and the framework of the World Trade Organization (WTO). In the aftermath of Brexit, the legal reconfigura-tion between the European Union and the United Kingdom has introduced new institutional and procedural complexitie
The current, seemingly uninhibited, growth of AI technologies presents one of the most critical modern day quandaries. The magnitude of its potential to develop, necessitates a deeper look into the legal implications associated which this technology. This thesis aims to describe and analyse the obligations of complete data sets in Article 10 AIA and its relationship with article 5(c) GDPR, using t
This study examines how different age compositions within a football squad affect a club’s sporting performance and financial development over time. Five squad versions with systematically varied proportions of young and older players were simulated in the game Football Manager 2024™. Each version was followed over ten seasons, resulting in a total of 25 simulations (five repetitions per version).
There exists a lack of laser-based remote sensing methods that give signals with high intensity and directionality. According to previous research, mirrorless lasing can meet these requirements; however, neither the dependence on the gain medium geometry nor the light-matter interaction responsible for the emission has been investigated in detail. This thesis project examined the sideways lasing e
Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFICs) play a crucial role in modern wireless communica- tion systems. However, they can achieve high performance only when their internal registers are dynamically and precisely configured. To maintain reliable control while operating in complex multi-antenna environments, several interface techniques have been developed, among which the Serial Peripheral Inte
Background: In this study data of three national surveys conducted among female sex workers (FSW), prison inmates and people who inject drugs (PWID) were presented and compared in relation to knowledge, attitude, and practises. Methods: The surveys were conducted in 2009 and 2010 and included 2546 PWID, 872 FSW and 5530 prison inmates. Knowledge, attitude and practises towards HIV were measured th
The global steel industry is a complex socio-technical system of strategicimportance, producing close to 10 percent of global emissions. Decarbonizing thissystem will significantly impact energy use, supply chain configurations, andinternational competitiveness, with geopolitical implications. Governments acrossthe world are therefore turning towards industrial policy to accelerate atransformation
Data clustering is considered an important component of data mining which aims to split a given dataset into disjoint groups having the same similarities. The developed techniques for clustering have some challenges to cluster entities in complex search space and most of them aim to maximize the sum of inter-cluster distances and minimize the sum of intra-cluster distances. This objective function
Chronic lung diseases result from alteration and/or destruction of lung tissue, inevitably causing decreased breathing capacity and quality of life for patients. While animal models have paved the way for our understanding of pathobiology and the development of therapeutic strategies for disease management, their translational capacity is limited. There is, therefore, a well-recognised need for in
Nanowires offer unprecedented flexibility as nanoscale building blocks for future optoelectronic devices, especially with respect to nanowire solar cells and light-emitting diodes. A relatively new concept is that of charge carrier diffusion-induced light-emitting diodes, for which nanowires offer an interesting architecture by use of particle-assisted core-branch growth. The branches should be ho
BACKGROUND: Knowledge about the prevalence of women with breast implants is paramount in calculations of risks and in estimations of effects on screening and breast cancer treatment. Most of the estimations of prevalence made to date are rough and often based on sales data. The main aim of this study was to calculate the prevalence of breast implants in Swedish women. The secondary aim was to inv
Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to disrupt the way businesses and civil society operate, but the large energy usage for training and running AI compute models remains a pressing concern in terms of its sustainability. Analog in-memory computing (AIMC) hardware based on memristor devices is a promising route to significant energy-savings. Among the various memristor technologies, ferroelectric
This article explores lesson enactments as co-constitutive of human-technology relationality in everyday schooling, rather than neutral backdrops for educational activities. In doing so, the article introduces maintenance as its key concept, drawing on insights from maintenance studies and actor-network theory (ANT). Being both theoretically and empirically informed, maintenance means reconsiderinThis article explores lesson enactments as co-constitutive of human-technology relationality in everyday schooling, rather than neutral backdrops for educational activities.

In developing EnergyNet we have leveraged and are extending lessons from telecom's shift from a centralized, circuit-switched phone system to decentralized, packet-switched data networks. EnergyNet utilizes 1) an Energy Router that enforces galvanic separation and utilizes software-controlled energy flows over a DC backplane, 2) Energy Local and Wide Area Networks (ELAN/EWAN) based on DC microgridIn developing EnergyNet we have leveraged and are extending lessons from telecom's shift from a centralized, circuit-switched phone system to decentralized, packet-switched data networks.

Traditional methods for microbial water quality testing take up to two days to produce results, putting humans in contact with this water risk during this period. Flow cytometry, including with online capacity, is a fast and efficient way to profile microbes in water. In this study, Escherichia coli concentrations determined by Colilert18 and flow cytometry profiles from the same water samples wer
BackgroundEarly identification of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains challenging. We aimed to identify key predictors of new-onset AKI within 48 h after ICU admission and renal replacement therapy (RRT) need within 7 days, using explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) with eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost). We also assessed whether XGBoost improved predictive peBACKGROUND: Early identification of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains challenging.
