This thesis examines the challenges faced by Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers in obtaining standard essential patent (SEP) licenses when entering the European market. It focuses on the SEP licensing framework within the European automotive industry, with particular attention to the Avanci patent pool and its representative licensing practices. By analyzing several Avanci-related cases i
This thesis argues that the escalating and protracted violence in Mexico, commonly known as the ‘war on drugs,’ constitutes a non-international armed conflict (NIAC) under international humanitarian law (IHL), calling for a formal application of this legal framework. Despite its devastating humanitarian consequences, the conflict is often mischaracterised within a law enforcement paradigm, contrib
The construction industry is a very traditional sector. The construction supply chain is very complex and fragmented since every project is site-based and unique. The distinctive nature of the construction industry is its heavy reliance on subcontracting. A common practice in the industry is to organize projects with a tier of subcontractors working for a main contractor. Since it is a knowledge-i
Denna uppsats undersöker vilka skadetyper från skadeinventeringar som initierar underhåll, samt hur väl Trafikverkets riktlinjer för spårdjup och IRI (International Roughness Index), som vanligtvis används på nationella vägar, speglar underhållsbehov i kommuner. Malmö, Sveriges tredje största stad, förvaltar ett omfattande vägnät på cirka 100 mil, där cirka 3 % årligen underhålls eller byts ut, inThis thesis investigates which damage types in condition surveys trigger maintenance and how well the Swedish Transport Administration’s standards for rut depth and IRI (International Roughness Index), typically used on national roads, reflect maintenance needs in municipalities. Malmö, Sweden’s third-largest city, maintains an extensive road network of about 1000 kilometers, with 3% repaired or r
Greywater, which comes from household sources such as showers, laundry, and dishwashing, is typically less polluted than toilet wastewater and can be treated and reused. In Helsingborg, Sweden, the RecoLab collects and treats greywater from Oceanhamnen separately as part of a source-separated wastewater system. However, the system has experienced is-sues with filamentous bacteria overgrowth, raisi
Denna kvalitativa studie etablerar kritisk diskursanalys för att undersöka hur Nato-konflikten mellan Sverige och Turkiet framställs i svensk respektive turkisk nyhetsrapportering, med gestaltningsteorin som huvudsakligt analytiskt ramverk. Studien grundar sig även i teorier om politisk kommunikation, politisk public relations och dagordningsteori och är förankrad inom disciplinen strategisk kommu
Syfte: Studiens syfte var dels att kartlägga utformning av språkligt landskap i klassrumsmiljö för elever med språkstörning, dels att undersöka skolpersonalens attityder kring flerspråkig representation i skolorna. Metod: Tre skolor från två olika kommuner deltog i studien. Samtliga skolor bedrev vid tidpunkten för studien specialundervisning för elever med språkstörning. Datan samlades in genom
In today’s increasingly trade protectionist world with substantial tariffs being announced by major economies, it is important to understand the effects of such measures. The United States (US) under the lead of the Trump administration has announced significant tariffs during 2025, one of which is a 25 percent tariff on steel imports. Similarly, during Trump’s first presidency term, the US impose
Citizen participation has emerged as a key approach in developing cities in a sustainable manner. Particular attention must be given to social sustainability, especially in response to changes in urban societies that are increasing the disparities in access to adequate living conditions and vital resources. These disparities contribute to spatial segregation of individuals based on socioeconomic d
Denna studie undersöker hur inkluderingen av Bitcoin i en portfölj bestående av S&P 500 påverkar den riskjusterade avkastningen. Studien analyserar även om korrelationen mellan Bitcoin och S&P 500, samt den optimala viktningen av Bitcoin i portföljen, har förändrats i samband med två större marknadshändelser: pandemins utbrott 2020 och lanseringen av spotbaserade Bitcoin-ETF:er 2024. Moder
I denna uppsats undersöks i vilken utsträckning upphandlande myndigheter enligt LOU kan genomföra entreprenadrättsliga ändrings-, tilläggs- och avgående arbeten (s.k. ÄTA-arbeten) inom ramen för redan upphandlade kontrakt. Frågeställningen aktualiseras särskilt av att ÄTA-begreppet enligt AB 04 är branschpraxis inom byggentreprenader, men inte nödvändigtvis överensstämmer med de krav som upphandliThis thesis examines the extent to which contracting authorities, under the Swedish Public Procurement Act (LOU), may implement contractual changes, additions, and deductions (so called ÄTA works) within the scope of already awarded construction contracts. The issue is particularly relevant since the concept of ÄTA, as defined in the standard contract AB 04, is well-established in the construction
The rapid advancements of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years have reshaped markets globally, urging companies to keep up with the development to maintain competitiveness and capture first-mover advantages. Although AI adoption is increasing across sectors, it has been found that Swedish companies lag behind other countries, such as the US and China. A key challenge identified is the lack
The electric power system is undergoing a major change through the implementation of a large number of variable renewable energy sources (VRE), driven by the goal to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions from electricity production. This transition increases the need for a more flexible and dynamic power system capable of maintaining voltage and frequency stability under changing operating conditions. U
This master thesis investigates the internal efficiency of Reverse Logistics (RL) processes within the company Ecophon Saint-Gobain, focusing on the reuse of acoustic panels as part of the company's Circular Economy (CE) initiatives. The study addresses three key research questions: (1) identifying inefficiencies in Ecophon's current RL process, (2) quantifying and evaluating internal RL e
This thesis explores the changing symbolic meanings of parliamentary buildings in Georgia and Ukraine. It focuses on how these spaces evolved from symbols of Soviet authority to main sites of resistance and political struggle through protest movements. The study offers a comparative analysis of Georgia and Ukraine through six key events that illustrate the symbolic transformation of the parliament
Denna studie undersöker hur körmedlemmar ställer sig till fenomenet att bli del av en större grupp och tillfälligt förlora sin egen identitet i samband med repetitioner och framträdanden med kören om kören på något sätt jobbar med gemensamma visuella uttryck och hur de bidrar till sammanhållning i kören samt vilka positiva och negativa känslor medlemskapet och deltagandet i en kör väcker. Genom at
Syfte: Att öka kunskapen om hur AI-verktyg för transkription kan användas i arbetet med att bedöma barns språkliga förmågor, samt undersöka huruvida de fel som AI-taligenkänningsproducerade transkriptioner innehåller påverkar de språkliga mått som används för språklig stickprovsanalys (SSA). Metod: Ljudfiler innehållandes en inspelad testning av narrativ förmåga för barn mellan tre och sex års ål
This thesis explores how sports contexts contribute to people's lives. Using CrossFit in southern Sweden as context, it draws anthropological conclusions on how life inside 'The Box' (the CrossFit gym) differs from other parts of the informants' lives. Followingly, it explains why and how individuals engage in the CrossFit context. Concludingly, it aims to illustrate what life feat
In this paper, a joint perception framework combining fixed and mobile cameras is proposed, which can achieve accurate real-time positioning of the mobile camera in a unified coordinate system. The system integrates VGGT for high-precision pose estimation and combines it with MASt3r-SLAM for robust real-time tracking. Alignment between different coordinate systems is achieved through rotation matr
Introduction: PARP15 belongs to the PARP family, which carries out ADP-ribosylation, a post- translational modification involved in DNA repair. Finding selective inhibitors can help discover more of the role PARP15 plays in our body. Background: Inhibitors of other PARP family members, such as PARP1, have been studied because of their role in cancer processes. However, PARP15 remains poorly charac
