Further, I describe outcomes in other coun

It is not surprising that digital platforms have received a signif-icant amount of attention of among competition law experts and legislatures since a relatively few companies own the infrastructure needed for other com-panies to participate in the digital markets.

This project started in the complex field of silence and ended up in an even more complex area; emotions. In silence we experience our emotions the most, and in order to appreciate the sometimes so fearful silence we need to relate to our emotions and understand them.

New 2D materials with high electron mobility can potentially be used for small and energy efficient electronic devices in the future. One such material that has been studied intensely is graphene. Despite the large amount of studies, the question of how to create useful shapes of graphene remains unanswered. In this work I studied how graphene may be spatially etched by intercalating oxygen before
