Against the background of a conservative push against LGBTI+ and women’s rights, in which courts have already become battlefields, it is important to look at how the European Court of Human Rights, a leading human rights adjudicator both in Europe and globally, would respond to arguments made in the name of human rights but whose real purpose is to limit the rights and freedoms of women and LGBTI+
Background: Operations planning and control has undergone an extensive shift from an individual company focus to a complete supply chain focus which has required a new common approach for supply chain planning and control to evolve. Increasing competition and globalization has created complexity in supply chain planning and integration since it requires a new cross-functional approach. To handle s
An increase in protein alternatives is necessary to feed the rising global population healthy and sustainable food. Dairy alternatives are one way to provide more environmentally and animal-friendly products. Next to plant-based drinks (PBDs) used as milk alternatives, plant-based yoghurts (PBYs) are becoming more popular. PBYs are produced by fermenting water-based extracts of plants and are expe
As the global energy sector undergoes a necessary transition toward renewable sources, Mexico has committed to significantly expanding its clean energy capacity. The Baja California Peninsula, with its rich solar and wind resources, presents a unique opportunity to lead this shift. The peninsula is composed of two states: Baja California and Baja California Sur. Baja California operates one electr
With the promotion of global sustainable development, digital financial inclusion (DFI) possesses unique potential and significance in eradicating poverty (Sustainable Development Goal 1, SDG1), improving gender equality (Sustainable Development Goal 5, SDG5), and narrowing disparities among groups (Sustainable Development Goal 10, SDG10). Based on panel data from 31 Chinese provinces between 2012
Detta arbete behandlar beskattningstidpunkten för derivatinstrument som säkrar skulder i utländsk valuta, enligt svensk rätt. Detta är intressant eftersom svenska företag i en globaliserad ekonomi exponeras mot valutarisker. Det råder dock osäkerheter om när säkringsderivatet ska beskattas. Uppsatsen analyserar därför hur den rättsliga regleringen i IL påverkar beskattningstidpunkten av värdeförän
Background: The global plant-based food shift puts high pressure on manufacturing capacity at facilities like Oatly's Landskrona site. This environment faces high combinatorial complexity due to growing product variety and sequence-dependent cleaning requirements. Relying on manual, experience-based planning to navigate these rules limits throughput and introduces organisational risk. Purpose
Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an expanding role in infectious disease surveillance and intervention planning by enabling analysis of large-scale health data. One of the key challenges in this area is to characterize transmission within households and to identify factors that influence both infectivity and susceptibility. The present study focuses on the COVID-19 pandemic, which not only
Tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacterial infections remain a major global health challenge due to rising antimicrobial resistance, prolonged treatment regimens, and the complex, poorly permeable structure of the mycobacterial cell envelope. This envelope limits antibiotic penetration and contributes to intrinsic drug tolerance. Bacteriophage-derived lytic enzymes, including Lysin A (LysA) and
This thesis investigates how reliance on ONVIF certification, a global interoperability standard in the network video industry, influences how a large technology company organises its internal organisational structures, roles, responsibilities and resource allocation. Technical standards such as ONVIF, with adherence validated through certification processes, are widely used to promote interoperab
In complex B2B value chains, even functionally strong innovations may struggle when success depends on end-consumer adoption beyond the focal firm’s direct control. This thesis examines how context-specific market conditions shape perceived adoption drivers and barriers, how these perceptions influence downstream adoption, and how B2B firms can respond by adapting marketing capabilities to shape d
Accurate estimations of regional CO2 fluxes are essential for understanding the global carbon cycle and further mitigating climate change. Satellite-based retrievals of column-averaged carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2 (OCO-2) offer a promising avenue for estimating carbon fluxes with atmospheric inversion systems, as they provide higher spatial resolution and observation
Global plastic production exceeds 400 million tons annually, with polyolefins accounting for nearly half. Their highly stable hydrocarbon backbone makes them highly resistant to degradation, leading to environmental accumulation and significant contributions to plastic pollution. Conventional recycling methods are insufficient to address these challenges, highlighting the need for more sustainable
The Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) framework offers a promising pathway to address societal challenges such as food security, water management, and biodiversity loss, all under accelerating climate change. Aquatic ecosystems are central to addressing these challenges; however, their current implementation remains largely focused on isolated sites, limiting their effectiveness at landscape scales. He
Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) reduce cardiovascular risk in obese individuals with established cardiovascular disease (CVD), potentially through modulating key risk factors. However, their benefit in primary prevention remains unclear. Objectives: This study aims to emulate GLP-1RA use for primary prevention by applying risk factor changes observed in the SELECT
Abstract Women entrepreneurs globally face gendered challenges rooted in the masculine image of the entrepreneur. This thesis explores how female entrepreneurs in Sweden navigate these challenges within entrepreneurial environments. Although Sweden is widely regarded as one of the world's most gender-equal countries, entrepreneurship continues to be shaped by gendered norms, expectations, an
The role of temporal changes and spatial variability in predation risk and prey's means of mitigating such risks is poorly understood in the context of potential threats of global climate change for migratory birds. Yet nest predation, for example, represents a primary source of reproductive mortality in birds. To assess risk birds must spend time prospecting potential breeding sites for cues or s
Background: The activity level and subjective knee function after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury treated without reconstruction have not been well elucidated. Hypothesis: Patients with ACL injury can achieve good knee function and satisfactory long-term activity level when treated by early activity modification combined with rehabilitation. Study Design: Cohort study (prognosis); Level
