Dagens samhälle omfattas av åtskilliga religiösa ideologier. För en utomstående kan en religiös tradition tyckas ofattbar. Ett exempel på en sådan tradition är hur en frisk person av religiösa skäl kan avstå från livräddande behandling. När det kommer till Jehovas vittnen avsäger de blodprodukter eftersom blodet i deras mening är en symbol för livet och därmed heligt. Enligt nuvarande lagstiftningToday's society is composed of numerous religious ideologies. To an outsider, a religious tradition may seem inconceivable. An example of such a tradition is how a healthy person can for religious reasons refrain from life-saving treatment. When it comes to Jehovah's Witnesses, they renounce blood products because blood in their sense is a symbol of life and thus sacred. Under current legi

Dataskydd och utvecklingen av lagstiftning och riktlinjer för användningen av ansiktsigenkänning är ett otroligt högaktuellt ämne världen över. Parallellt med EU:s restriktiva förhållningssätt till AI-system, vilket har resulterat i ett av världens mest omfattande rättsliga ram för integritet och dataskydd, finns ett stort intresse för ansiktsigenkänning hos både offentliga förvaltningar och privaData protection and the development of legislation and guidelines for the use of face recognition is a topical issue worldwide. Parallel with the EU's restrictive approach to AI systems, which has resulted in one of the world's most comprehensive legal frameworks for the protection of privacy and data protection, there is a great deal of interest in the use of face recognition among both p

In today’s digital climate, consumers are constantly exposed to marketing and communication from companies and organisations. The increase in marketing has subsequently led to the birth of new, and in some cases, misleading advertising strategies, such as Greenwashing and Healthwashing. Other marketing strategies such as Femvertising utilise societal movements in order to be effective. These marke

Svenska kommuner befinner sig just nu i en ansträngd ekonomisk situation med både brist på ekonomiska resurser och personal. Samtidigt råder det en efterfrågan på bostäder och i 180 av 290 svenska kommuner råder det ett underskott på bostadsmarknaden. Till följd av den begränsade resurstillgången måste kommunerna därmed prioritera vilket innebär att de måste fördela sina resurser till det som anseSwedish municipalities are currently in a constrained economic situation with a shortage of both financial resources and personnel. The municipalities hold a zoning monopoly, and due to the limited financial resources they have to prioritize within their physical planning to ensure they allocate their resources on what is most important. The aim of this thesis is to create an understanding of how

Sweden is experiencing a decline in governmental funding to the CSOs. This research looks deeper into that relationship and investigates the dynamics between the two actors when it comes to policy processes. The decline in funds leads to the organizations having to prioritize their work, which risks a lowered democratic participation from these civil society experts in the political sphere. To bet

Emissions and fuel economy are evaluated for two types of biofuels, namely 2-phenyl ethanol and cyclohexaneethanol. Both are derived from lignin, a form of lignocellulosic biomass. The former and latter oxygenates have an aromatic and aliphatic (i.e. saturated) ring structure, respectively. Two parametric engine sweeps were performed. First, non-EGR operation by means of varying the load via injec

The role of the genome in the assembly of icosahedral viral capsids has been investigated by molecular dynamics simulation of a coarse-grained model, in which the capsomers carry explicit charges and the polynucleic acid is represented by a bead-spring chain. The co-assembly process was contrasted with the self-assembly of uncharged capsomers. In the co-assembly, the capsomers first associated to

Doppler observations from Keck Observatory have revealed a triple-planet system orbiting the nearby K4V star, HIP 57274. The inner planet, HIP 57274b, is a super-Earth with M sin i = 11.6 M-circle plus (0.036 M-Jup), an orbital period of 8.135 +/- 0.004 days, and slightly eccentric orbit e = 0.19 +/- 0.1. We calculate a transit probability of 6.5% for the inner planet. The second planet has M sin

This thesis deals with various aspects of growth, convergence and technological change, all analysed from an empirical perspective. A common theme throughout the six chapters is the analysis of economic historical questions of productivity growth with the use of quantitative statistical techniques. An introductory chapter is followed by two chapters on the Western European regional growth and conv
