Over recent years many urban areas have experienced severe floods caused by extreme precipitation events. To avoid the devastating socioeconomic and environmental consequences of such floods, countries have issued laws or recommendations on flood risk assessment in urban planning. However, these laws or recommendations seldom include detailed requirements on input data quality or explicit instruct

Till följd av växande geopolitiska spänningar och den tekniska utvecklingen har hotbilden kring utländska direktinvesteringar (UDI) uppmärksammats inom Europeiska unionen (EU). För att bemöta riskerna med UDI stiftades Europaparlamentets och rådets förordning (EU) 2019/452 av den 19 mars 2019 om upprättande av en ram för granskning av utländska direktinvesteringar (förordning (EU) 2019/452). FörorAs a result of growing geopolitical tensions and development of modern technologies, the European Union (EU) has recognized concerns regarding certain foreign direct investments (FDI). Regulation (EU) 2019/452 of the European Parliament and of the Council adopted on 19 March 2019 (Regulation (EU) 2019/452), establishes a framework for screening of FDIs into the Union.

I takt med samhällets generella digitalisering har också hälso- och sjukvår-den börjat använda alltmer elektroniska verktyg och hjälpmedel. En sådan utveckling är användningen av Ineras e-tjänst 1177 journalen för att tillhandahålla uppgifter ur patientjournaler. I dagsläget gäller den gemen-samma principen för 1177, att vårdnadshavare har tillgång till uppgifter ur sitt barns patientjournal fram In line with the general digitalisation of society, the healthcare sector has also started to use more and more electronic tools and aids. One such development is the use of Ineras e-service 1177 journalen to provide information from patient journals. At present, the common principle for 1177 is that guardians have access to information from their child’s patient journal until the child turns 13.

Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om vilka konsekvenser ett eventuellt återinförande av ett tillräknelighetsrekvisit kan få ur ett brottsofferperspektiv, med särskilt fokus på situationer när gärningspersonen har en intellektuell funktionsnedsättning. I dagens svenska rättsordning saknas ett tillräknelighetsrekvisit. Detta rekvisit innebär ett krav på att gärningspersonen ska besitta en viss kognitivThis thesis explores the question of whether a reintroduction of an imputability requirement in Swedish law would affect the treatment of offenders with intellectual disabilities, and what consequences this in turn would have for victims of crime. In the current Swedish legal system, there is no requirement of culpability. The requirement means that the offender must have had a certain cognitive a

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

This thesis explores the correlation between green transitions and green gentrification, using the case study of the Western Harbour in Malmö, Skåne. More specifically, through the lens of the Right to the City and Environmental Justice, this thesis looks into the accessibility to green spaces in the Western Harbour for different socio-economic groups. Expert interviews, qualitative surveys with r

This thesis explores the application of European Union competition law — specifically Article 102 TFEU — to the regulatory conduct of dominant sports governing bodies such as UEFA, FIFA, and ISU. As sport has evolved into a major economic sector, the dual role of these organizations as both regulators and commercial actors has raised significant legal questions concerning abuse of dominance and ma

Biologiska läkemedel används i allt större utsträckning. Med tiden upptäcks fler och fler användningsområden för exempelvis proteiner (i form av hormoner, antikroppar och enzymer) eller virus, som kan användas till bland annat cancerterapi, genterapi eller behandling av neurologiska sjukdomar. På senare tid har marknaden exploderat genom bland annat upptäckten av GLP-1-analoger som har enorm potenIn this thesis, the traditional way of conducting chromatographic separation by linear elution was re-evaluated by introducing variable elution buffer trajectories in the mobile phase. Through numerical simulation of ion exchange chromatography using a finite volume method approach, various salt concentration profiles were optimized for improving the separation of components, using yield and produ

This thesis explores the electrification of the public transport sector in Kathmandu Valley using the Multi-Level Perspective framework and a lens based on Political Economy. It analyses how government bodies, the private sector, civil society, development organisations, and academia influence transition dynamics. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and fieldwork, it identifies drivers such as a

Agri-PV is a promising socio-technical innovation increasingly being deployed in Bavaria and Germany. However, institutional challenges in the approval process hinder process standardization and effective deployment. Using a qualitative research design and the three-pillar framework of institutions, this study investigates the approval process of Agri-PV in Bavaria. 17 semi-structured interviews w

In the pursuit of more sustainable urban energy systems, recovering industrial waste heat presents a promising opportunity to enhance energy efficiency and reduce emissions. This thesis explores the technical and economic feasibility of capturing excess heat from an industrial process and repurposing it to supply a new low-temperature district heating network planned for a new residential district

Intangible assets are a cornerstone of the modern technological economy. Intellectual property (IP) provides incentives for continued scientific development through the protection of innovation and creativity. This technological development has allowed vast creations that solve daily challenges; nevertheless, as the negative externalities seen in the effects of anthropogenic climate change become

Life on Earth is a mosaic distributed across biogeographical regions. Their regional species pools have experienced distinct historical and eco-evolutionary pressures, leading to an expected context-dependent organization of biodiversity. Here we identify a general spatial organization within biogeographical regions of terrestrial and marine vertebrates, invertebrates and plants (more than 30,000

This article assesses what is analytically at stake when individuals claim that their rights under the European Convention on Human Rights have been interfered with and the respondent State invokes compliance with positive human rights obligations as the aim pursued with the interference. These situations could be framed as manifesting a tension between negative and positive obligations. This is a

I detta examensarbete presenteras utvecklingen av en virtuell representation av en Differentiell skanningskalorimeter (DSC) i COMSOL Multiphysics, specifikt modellen DSC3+ från Mettler Toledo. Målet med modellen är att den med hög noggrannhet ska kunna bestämma den specifika värmekapaciteten för ett godtyckligt material.

Industrial areas have played a vital role in shaping cities, serving as economic centers and employment places for decades. However, with economic trends drifting and other technological advancements lead to the constant change of industrial areas. They mostly became abandoned or underutilized due to this. These transitions created plenty of environmental, social and economic challenges including

Traditionally, sportswashing has served as a short-hand way to criticise and accuse non-democratic countries of strategically using investments in sport, sports clubs and sports events to distract from or cover up oppressive practices. This thesis investigates sportswashing through a case study of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics and Paralympics, aiming to assess whether a practice commonly associat

Over time, Sweden has demonstrated a stable policy line across governments, marked by a critical view of further EU integration in the area of security and defence. There is a strong tendency in Sweden to initially reject EU proposals in this domain and widely advocated that this area is best managed at a national level. Over the past seven years, Sweden has initially rejected several EU proposals

This thesis explores how the European Union (EU) constructs and adapts its identity as a normative power in light of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Historically viewed as a peace project founded on principles such as democracy, human rights, and the rule of law, the EU’s provision of military assistance and promotion of enhanced defence capabilities have raised concerns regarding
