Urban green infrastructure (UGI) is gaining popularity for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in urban contexts, but dense development obstructs the realisation of large-scale greening measures. This thesis investigates the potential of small-scale, site-specific urban greening in a residential area in Cologne, Germany, to improve ecosystem service supply. The objective is to as
The biomedical market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by the increasing volume of health data and the need for advanced technologies to manage and analyze this information. At the same time, the industry is facing additional challenges such as the shortage of healthcare professionals and an aging population. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to become essential in this industry,

The essay applies the methodology put forward in Baur (2003) with some modifications and extensions in order to investigate on contagion and spillover effects originating from the financial sector in European and U.S. equity markets during the crisis following the “dot-com” bubble in 2000-2003 and the financial crisis of 2007-2009. A clear distinction between spillover and contagion effects is dra
Following the current global wave of sustainable development, the EU has been playing a leading role in reshaping the global trade landscape with its ambitious sustainable trade toolboxes. Particularly, the evolvement of sustainable development provisions in EU’s Bilateral Trade Agreements (BTA) have sparked growing discussions and debates in the legal arena. This study aims to analyse the role of
The protein hemoglobin (Hb) is vital for us humans to ensure enough oxygen replacement in the body. Hb-resembling proteins also exist in plants, these are called phytoglobins (Pgbs). Pgbs are very interesting since they can play a considerable role in the development of blood substitutes and iron supplements for human use. A few years ago, genes that code for Pgb in sugar beet were found and ident
For the fourth year in a row, Poland continues to rank as the lowest country of the European Union on the yearly report on the legal and political situation of queer people in Europe. With constant negative media portrayal of queer communities and homophobic remarks from politicians, Polish queer individuals become antagonized and stigmatized by the society. This thesis aims to explore the less re
International trade has been put forth by the EU as Africa’s most significant opportunity for economic development. Yet, challenges for African exports to the EU persist. This bachelor’s thesis explores the challenges faced by small businesses importing African products in Malmö and Lund, Sweden. It does so through interviews with stakeholders involved in the import process: owners of shops import
The purpose of this study was to explore and learn how the Second Generation Women of Bangladeshi Origin relate themselves to the culture of their host society and the traditions of their parental country of origin. Predominantly, how they look for their choice of a future life partner. This study was carried out in Malmoe, Sweden and New York City, USA, and from both locations, there were total n
The growing use of economic sanctions as a foreign policy tool has intensi-fied legal and political tensions in the international trade system. This trend has been particularly pronounced following the expansion of the United States’ (U.S.) secondary sanctions with extraterritorial reach, and in response to major geopolitical events, including the U.S. withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan
Extreme climate events, such as heatwaves, are predicted to increase in frequency, intensity, and duration in the near future. Subarctic and boreal climate zones are expected to be especially negatively impacted, as recent shifts in temperature regimes are already particularly strong compared with more southern biomes. While many studies have focused on gradual warming and on both acute and chroni
The otter (Lutra lutra) is a cryptic, semi-aquatic mustelid, with several uncertainties regarding its ecology and reproductive success in Sweden. To ensure future conservation, distribution and population estimates are needed and the ecological knowledge gaps must be filled in. This study aimed to examine three ecological factors possibly related to the occurrence and distribution of the Scanian o
The increasing dominance of tech giants and the emergence of new digital markets have increased the relevance of Article 102 TFEU, yet the article’s enforcement mechanisms have not kept pace with the market’s rapid developments. In August of 2024, the European Commission responded to this need for more efficient enforcement by publishing its Draft Guidelines on the exclusionary abuse of dominance
Forskning om Exekutiva Funktioner (EF) gällande ungdomar har varit otydlig angående huruvida det existerar könsskillnader i denna åldersgrupp. När könsskillnader påvisats i tidigare forskning har få försök att förklara dessa skillnader gjorts. Denna tvärsnittsstudie hade som mål att undersöka om det existerade könsskillnader i EF, genom att använda både självskattningar och lärarskattningar av EF,Research on Executive Function (EF) has revealed diverging results regarding gender differences among adolescents. Moreover, when differences have been identified, few attempts to explain these differences have been made. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine potential gender differences in EF, considering both self-rated and teacher-rated EF measures, and if differences in mental health bet
Natriuretic peptides (NPs), such as atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), are hormones produced in the heart’s cardiomyocytes. ANP has been shown to form amyloids, which prevent the heart from functioning properly, ultimately increasing the risk of congestive heart failure (CHF). BNP also has been found in amyloid structures within the heart. Here, multiple algorith
Despite longstanding and far-reaching recognition of the need for social change towards environmental sustainability, the delivery of this transition is proving problematic. Dominant strategies for sustainable development in western countries focus on uncoupling economic development from ecological harm. Scandinavia epitomises this approach to green economy, especially in the transition to a low-c
