INTRODUCTION: The prophylactic regimen in children with severe haemophilia is suggested in various publications and guidelines. Few data exist on its implementation in clinical practice.AIM: To investigate the implementation of primary prophylaxis based on real-life data from PedNet during the last 20 years.METHODS: All children from the PedNet cohort (n = 1260) with severe haemophilia A (SHA) or

We introduce the notion of a-walk S(n) = a1X1 +… + anXn, based on a sequence of positive numbers a = (a1, a2,…) and a Rademacher sequence X1,X2,…. We study recurrence/ transience (properly defined) of such walks for various sequences of a.

For a given number α ϵ (0, 1) and a 1-periodic function f, we study the convergence of the series Σ∞ n=1f(x+nα)/n, called one-sided Hilbert transform relative to the rotation x → x + α mod 1. Among others, we prove that for any non-polynomial function of class C2 having Taylor-Fourier series (i.e. Fourier coefficients vanish on ℤ-), there exists an irrational number α (

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

Making choices can be hard, even more so if they are of a moral nature. Since the initial phrasing, utilitarianism has claimed that the morally correct choice is that which maximises utility. This phrasing might seem unproblematic for some. However, I have found there to be a certain problem with such a phrasing. This problem is mainly with “hard cases”, i.e., cases where the utilitarian cannot, w

It is known that underpricing is a widely researched topic worldwide by many different aspects, having instigated studies over the last decades to find reasons in order to explain this phenomenon. However, its relation with banks’ commission fees is still a little explored field, possibly due to the lack of data available to test for this hypothesis. This context raises the following research ques

This Master’s thesis explores ethics and sustainability in the design of consumer electronics. It begins with a theoretical review of sustainable design methods and ethical principles relevant to globalised value chains. Through an explorative design process, it culminates in proposed strategies for the design of sustainable electronics. Designers’ evolving roles, sustainability- oriented inno

Trends show a decline in democracy in the CEE region which has mostly been analyzed through the democratic backsliding paradigm. However, recent scholars have proposed another perspective for this trend, the careening paradigm. This paper examines the contemporary democratic development from 2018 to 2023 in the Visegrád Four to explain which theoretical perspective is the most suitable to describe

Syftet med reglerna om offentlig upphandling är att se till att offentliga kontrakt tilldelas på ett öppet, likvärdigt och konkurrensneutralt sätt genom att låta leverantörer konkurrera om kontrakten. Ingen leverantör får särbehandlas och all upphandling ska ske affärsmässigt och i konkurrens. All offentlig upphandling finansieras med hjälp av skattemedel, och därför är det viktigt att förfarandet

Sedan Internationella brottmålsdomstolen uppfördes och började utöva sin dömande verksamhet 2002 har domstolen haft jurisdiktion över krigsförbrytelser, brott mot mänskligheten och folkmord. I Romstadgan fanns redan från start även aggressionsbrottet upptaget, alltså brottet att inleda otillåtligt krig. Parterna lyckades dock inte enas om en definition av aggression och därför begränsades domstole

This study explores the implications of an encampment policy - criminalising refugees’ mobility beyond the borders of a camp - for the potential of Cash Based Transfer assistance in protracted refugee situations. As the success of Cash Based Transfer assistance implies market availability and access to commodities, and certain interaction between the host community and refugee population, it is ar

Climate refugees are becoming increasingly common due to increased global warming as a result of excess emissions, the vast majority of which come from the Global North. The aim of this thesis is to examine how the climate refugee issue is described in Swedish media against a backdrop of a potential conflict between a Swedish self-image as progressive in humanitarian matters, and the recent strict
