Våren 2024 röstades ett omdebatterat lagförslag igenom i den svenska riksdagen. Under juli 2025 ersätts lag (1972:119) om fastställande av könstillhörighet i vissa fall – könstillhörighetslagen – med en ny. Den nya lagen reducerar rådande 18-årsgräns för det juridiska könsbytet; 16-åringar ska ges möjlighet att ta beslut i frågan, med vårdnadshavares medgivande. Under det senaste decenniet har fIn the spring of 2024, a contentious legislative proposal was voted through in the Swedish parliament. In July 2025 the gender recognition act will be replaced. The new law will reduce the age limit for the right to change legal gender from 18 to 16 years of age, with the consent of the guardians of the youth concerned. Over the last decade, several initiatives have been raised with the objective

I takt med att andelen variabel förnybar energi ökar i det svenska elsystemet krävs nya lösningar för att hantera utmaningar kopplade till intermittens, nätstabilitet och ekonomisk lönsamhet. Batterilagringssystem (BESS) lyfts fram som en av de mest lovande lösningarna för att möta dessa utmaningar. Detta examensarbete undersöker den tekniska och ekonomiska genomförbarheten av att integrera BESS mAs the share of variable renewable energy (VRE) increases in the Swedish electricity system, new solutions are needed to address challenges related to intermittency, grid stability, and economic viability. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) have been identified as one of the most promising solutions to meet these challenges. This master’s thesis investigates the technical and economic feasibili

AIM: We investigate if merged gridded satellite rainfall products (CHIRPS, MSWEP, or SUPER), used with the HYPE hydrological model, can replace limited rain gauge measurements when modelling streamflow in poorly gauged basins. Three research questions frame this aim: (1) How does the HYPE hydrological model perform in a poorly gauged basin? (2) Which rainfall product performs better (CHIRPS, MSWEP

The pulmonary route has emerged as a promising strategy for delivering protein therapeutics, particularly for patients suffering from respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary infections. This project investigated the effect of operating parameters of a laboratory spray dryer on the characteristics of powders composed of Bovine Serum Albumin

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Geologi är en ung gren av naturvetenskap. Det var inte förrän på 1800-talet som geologins ädla konst började diskuteras och detta trots att moral och religiös etik dikterade annat. Inte kunde väl jorden vara mer än 4000 år och borde inte Gud ha nämnt de där dinosaurierna i bibeln? Inte förrän mitten på 1900-talet började man till slut gräva fram ett och annat koThe mid-Atlantic ridge connects with land at the Reykjanes peninsula, Southwest Iceland. Iceland extends well over the whole ridge and allows for representative surface observations of sea-floor processes. Across the Peninsula the plate boundary is characterized by a rift zone, which encompasses leaky transform fault zone characteristics. Across a fissure swarm, connected with the Reykjanes volcan

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund: Det första elektrokardiogrammet (EKG) utfördes 1887 av Augustus Desiré Waller. Det innebar att spänningsskillnader mellan olika delar av hjärtat, under hjärtats arbete dvs. vid upprepade sammandragningar och avslappningar, kunde registreras med elektroder på kroppens yta. Metoden utvecklades vidare av Willem Einthoven, som fick nobelpriset för sitt arbete 1924Background and Methods: Signal-averaging ECG (SAECG), a bioelectrical processing method, is a further development of the conventional ECG. SAECG can detect voltage potentials in the microvolt range and provide a noise-reduced determination of QRS duration. Extended frequency spectra can be analysed. In adult patients after myocardial infarction it is used to predict the risk for arrhythmias and su

For the development of a joint European capacity for monitoring CO2 emissions, we created the framework “CO2 Monitoring Challenges City Mapbooks v1.0” (CMC-CITYMAP). It includes a Jupyter notebook tool (Storm et al., 2025a, https://doi.org/10.18160/P8SV-B99F) which we use to characterise and cluster cities based on aspects relevant for different CO2 monitoring challenges. These include:a. determin

Popular Abstract in Swedish Infektionssjukdomar är lika vanliga hos fiskar som hos alla andra djur. Dessa infektioner kan orsakas av virus, bakterier samt eukaryota organismer som svamp och protozoer. I naturliga fiskpopulationer utgör detta ett litet problem men får stora ekonomiska konsekvenser i fiskodlingar eftersom ett stort antal fiskar kan infekteras på kort tid och i värsta fall dö, ca 10 Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is a Birnavirus that infects salmonid fish. The infection is usually mortal for fish under six months of age, while older fish become carriers, usually without any signs of infection, and will spread the virus to other susceptible fish and to their offspring. IPNV is an icosahedral, naked virion and the genome consists of two segments of double-stranded

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tillgången på energi har varit av stor betydelse för utvecklingen av det det moderna industrisamhället. Samtidigt skapar energianvändningen ett flertal miljöproblem med lokal, regional och global utbredning. Syftet med denna avhandling är att studera olika strategier för att minska miljöpåverkan från det svenska energisystemet och bedöma strategiernas tekniska och ekonoEnergy use accounts for the dominating fraction of total sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. In this thesis, different strategies for reducing these emissions are evaluated, using a bottom-up approach. The thesis is divided in two parts. Part I (two articles) deals with how energy efficiency improvements and the increas

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Den ökande urbaniseringen värden över och de hälsorisker som identifierats i samband med värmeböljor i städer, har medfört att det urbana klimatet blivit ett allt viktigare forskningsområde. Vindhastighet är en av de viktigaste parametrarna när det gäller att beräkna lokala klimatvariationer och bedöma eventuella hälsorisker. En enkel beräkningsmetod för vind kanWind is a complex phenomenon and a critical factor in assessing climatic conditions and pedestrian comfort within cities. This master’s thesis attempts to quantify and model the relationship between near ground wind speed and urban geometry using two-dimensional raster data and variable selection methods based on Multiple Linear Regression. A simple regression model can be implemented in a Geogra

The passive consumer is dead. At least according to rapports, articles and books published during the last ten to fifteen years. Due to several shifts in the consumer landscape, the consumers are now more connected than ever and interact with each other in a new multi-way eco system. This change has led to that the applicability of the Brand Management perspective is questioned when it comes to un

In recent years, the office market has been changing, mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic and technological innovation. This has impacted how office space is used and has led to an increase in the range of available real estate products. One of the decisions organizations need to make is whether to own or lease their space, which is a decision driven by several parameters. The right decision for a

Title: Access to cultural education in a multi-ethnical context. The right to dance and play an instrument, to paint and work with film is taken for granted by many children in Malmoe today. The agenda explicitely phrases the intent of the publicly financed schools of art for children to reflect the multi-ethnic demographics of the city. Public community music schools of today, incorporate classe

Till följd av att barnkonventionen tillträdde som svensk lag har domstolen en skyldighet att utöver rättegångsbalkens bestämmelser tillämpa barnkonventionens bestämmelser vid mål som rör barn. Vid inkorporeringen av konventionen uttryckte flera remissinstanser kritik mot att förarbetena till lagen inte gav något underlag för tolkning av de enskilda artiklarna samt att lösningar på eventuella normkAs a consequence of the incorporation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) into Swedish law, courts are obliged to apply the UNCRC in provision to the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure when children are parties or otherwise involved. Several referral bodies expressed criticism that the Swedish government in their preparatory work provided no guidance on how the individual articles

Electrodialysis (ED) is a membrane-based separation process that exploits the selective migration of ions under the influence of an electrical driving force. It removes ionized species from liquid solutions using alternating cation- and anion-exchange membranes, arranged between two electrodes. When a direct current is applied, cations move toward the cathode and pass through cation exchange memb

BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by chronic inflammation driven by central nervous system (CNS)-resident immune cells such as microglia, especially during the progressive phase of the disease. The P2X7 receptor (P2X7R), a risk protein for MS, is ubiquitously expressed on immune cells. AFC-5128, a CNS-penetrating small molecule inhibitor of P2X7R, is a promising agent for the tr
