This thesis examines the relationship between the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) in regulating automated decision-making involving personal data. Emphasis is given to the legal intersection between Article 22 GDPR outlining automated-decision making regime and the AIA’s human oversight requirements for high-risk AI systems (Article 14), parti
The EU’s Sustainability Disclosure Framework has been substantially revised. The CSRD and the ESRS have been changed under Directive (EU) 2026/470, and the Commission has proposed a reform for SFDR, which transforms the framework’s disclosure-based structure to a comprehensive categorization system based on three categories: Transition, ESG Basics, and Sustainable. This thesis examines what change
Osteoarthritis is a multifactorial degenerative disease characterized by the breakdown of articular cartilage (AC), affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Among many treatment options, hydrogels have emerged as promising candidates for cartilage replacement, due to their structural resemblance to the native tissue. Hydrogels can be made from various materials, and this study focuses o
Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are complex biological products that present specific scientific and regulatory challenges during clinical development. This thesis aimed to analyse consolidated Part I considerations raised during assessment of investigational ATMP clinical trial applications (CTAs) under the Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR) to identify recurring scientific and regulato
Pharmaceutical manufacturing of parenteral injections must be fine-tuned to yield a stable API through efficient production methods. Assessing a products processability is essential to ensure consistent manufacturing and safe drug administration, of which powder flowability and dissolution both have a direct impact. Spray drying is a particle engineering technique to modify these parameters, howev
This study examines how youth leaders in peace projects in Ethiopia develop through their engagement. Based on six weeks of fieldwork across three peace projects in Addis Ababa, Jimma and Hawassa, the study takes a strength-based perspective of the leaders and asks how the peace-project engagement serve developing. Drawing on Honwana's concept of waithood, the study argues that youth leaders i
Uppsatsens ämne är det utökade skyddet för kända varumärken, syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva och analysera förutsättningarna och gränserna för det utökade skyddet för kända varumärken inom varumärkeslagen. För att uppnå syftet har följande frågeställningar ställts: Vad innebär kravet att ett varukännetecken ska vara känt inom en betydande del av omsättningskretsen? Vad innebär att användningeThe subject of the thesis is the extended protection for reputed trademarks. The purpose of the thesis is to describe and analyze the conditions and limits for the extended protection of well-known trademarks within trademark law. To achieve this purpose, the following research questions are addressed: What does the requirement that a sign must be known within a substantial part of the relevant pu
The rapid expansion of the plant-based beverage sector has increased the demand for high-performance, barista-grade oat drinks that are capable of withstanding the thermal and acidic stresses of coffee applications. This master’s thesis, conducted in collaboration with Cerealiq AB, evaluates the efficacy of six specific enzymatic treatments in modifying the structural and physical properties of oa
Probiotic strains such as Limosilactobacillus reuteri are highly sensitive to thermal, oxidative, and mechanical stress, and freeze-drying has become a standard technique for stabilizing probiotic cultures. The protective performance of the dried product is determined by both its chemical composition and its mechanical structure, with an ideal encapsulating matrix consisting of thick and co
Furfural, a renewable platform chemical derived from hemi cellulosic fraction of the lignocellulosic biomass, is a promising precursor for the sustainable production of 2,5- furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), an important bio-based alternative to terephthalic acid. In this study, we utilized the oxidative capacity of Gluconobacter oxydans to oxidize furfural to 2-furoic acid and employed the UbiD-UbiX
Denna studie undersöker hur kvinno-, tjej- och transjourer organiserar och upprätthåller sina verksamheter i relation till statliga bidragssystem, administrativa krav och föreställningar om värde. Studien bygger på kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta personer verksamma inom olika jourorganisationer i Sverige. Materialet analyserades genom tematisk analys med utgångspunkt i teorier om
The construction and real estate sector is a major contributor to global carbon emissions and climate change. Ventilation systems, although essential for maintaining indoor air quality and occupant health, account for a significant share of building operational emissions. In HVAC systems, duct layouts significantly influence ventilation impacts through both the embodied carbon from material produc
Abstract: To meet the future demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly “green” chemical cleaning solutions for rust removal from naturally oxidized iron alloys, this study showed how an optimized DES (Deep Eutectic Solvents) can enhance descaling performance. A series of experiments were conducted using different combinations of acetic acid, malonic acid, and choline chloride in aqueous
Introduction: Dietary macronutrient composition, specifically the intake of meals enriched in carbohydrates, fats, protein or fibre, triggers distinct postprandial metabolic responses but whether these responses vary significantly based on an individual’s glycaemic status: type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (T2D), or normoglycaemia (ND) remains an open question. Background: Metabolomic and
Syfte & mål: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur byggnadsdelar ska projekteras för att möjliggöra framtida demontering och återbruk utan bearbetning. Studien syftar till att öka kunskapen om demonteringens utveckling för hela byggnadsdelar. Målet är att identifiera tekniska lösningar som skapar förutsättningar för en effektiv demontering. Genom att analysera ett antal byggnadsdelar är måleAim & goal: The aim of the study is to investigate how building components should be designed to enable future disassembly and reuse without processing. The study aims to increase knowledge about the development of disassembly for entire building components. The goal is to identify technical solutions that create the conditions for efficient disassembly. By analysing several building component
As intermittent faults in distribution grids continue to cause unplanned outages, grid owners face increasing challenges related to reliability, restoration times, and maintenance planning. These challenges not only affect customers but also result in higher operational costs and resource demands for grid operators. The purpose of this thesis is to develop methods for proactive fault management b
α-CGRP 8-37 is a peptide fragment of calcitonin gene-related peptide and is commonly used as a CGRP antagonist in pharmacological research. CGRP signaling has been discussed in relation to neuroimmune mechanisms in psoriasis, but a practical development of α-CGRP 8-37 requires analytical methods and formulation strategies that can handle peptide instability, adsorption, and matrix effects. The aim
