Following approximately three decades of rapid economic growth since the 1980s, in China, more attention has been paid to the sustainability of economic growth. Since 2010, as the main actors of economic activity, Chinese enterprises must face stricter regulatory and policies driving them toward greener transformation. Based on this background, this study will discuss the effect of top management
Youth crime is a significant social problem, and preventive work targeting young people at risk of criminality is currently of central importance. This study examines how the new Swedish Social Services Act (2025:400) influences preventive social work in relation to risk and protective factors. By exploring social workers’ experiences, this study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of pre
“What happens to everything you excavate?” is a question most archaeologists will be asked. The answer, generally, is “Storage in museum collections”. Archaeological excavations, commercial, academic and otherwise, generate vast quantities of finds. Almost all are stored as collections, or object archives, maintained by museums. An additional answer might also be “Not enough”: despite the size and
This thesis examines whether the adoption of automated decision-making (ADM) in Swedish municipal social assistance is followed by changes in welfare outcomes. ADM has spread rapidly across Swedish municipalities, but existing research has mainly studied single cases and organisational processes. I therefore study whether this diffusion leaves a measurable pattern at the municipal level. The analy
Purpose: To study the incidence and subtype of breast cancer in relation to incident and prevalent statin use in a contemporary Swedish prospective cohort, The Karolinska Mammography Project for Risk Prediction of Breast Cancer, KARMA. Methods: A total of 35,315 postmenopausal women attending mammography and included in the KARMA cohort (Jan 2011–March 2013) with data on statin use and potential c
Huminfra, Sweden’s national infrastructure for digital and experimental Humanities, consisting of 12 nodes, successfully met all its goals in 2024—the final year of its first funding period.First, the Huminfra website, https://www.huminfra.se/, which collates and links toSwedish digital and experimental research resources (instruments, tools, expertise, materials, training events) was further deve
Background: Optimal reconstruction of the perineal defect after extended abdominoperineal excision remains uncertain, and randomized comparisons between biological mesh and myocutaneous flaps are lacking. This trial assessed whether an acellular porcine collagen implant (APCI) is non-inferior to a gluteus maximus myocutaneous flap (GMF) for pelvic floor reconstruction. Methods: NEAPE was a multice
Kidney paired donation (KPD) programs are organized in various countries to facilitate the donation of kidneys from willing but incompatible donors by matching them with pairs in similar situations. These programs often struggle with an accumulation of difficult-to-match recipients and small pools of incompatible pairs. To address this, several international collaborations have emerged to expand t
The instability of perovskite interfaces caused by interfacial defects and heterojunction evolution hinders the realization of long-term stable inverse perovskite solar cells (IPSCs). This work reports a strategy for the study of heterojunction evolution, the effects of buried interface and carrier dynamics on the stability of perovskite films and devices in 2D/3D heterojunctions. The emphasis is
After the wider deglaciation of Northern Europe, pioneer reindeer populations started to move into southern Scandinavia; however, this process is poorly understood. In this paper we aim to reconstruct dispersal processes of reindeer into southern and western Sweden from the Late Palaeolithic through to the Early Mesolithic, when reindeer disappear from the record. Has presence of reindeer in south
Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is essential for embryonic development and tissue homeostasis in organisms. However, Caenorhabditis elegans lacks canonical Hh signaling due to the absence of key components, such as smoothened (SMO) and obvious Hh ligands. Despite this, C. elegans retains Patched homologs, ptc-1 and ptc-3, which have specialized independent functions. Although ptc-1 is predominant
In the Hebrew Bible and related literature, the Jerusalem temple(s) served as the dwelling place of the deity and a focal point for human-divine relations and ritual life. Ancient Jewish literature documents the temple’s sacred architecture, rituals, and social practices in great detail, providing a foundation for Jewish engagement with temple aesthetics over millennia. Today, a diverse and growi
This thesis consists of three essays in dynamic panel data econometrics. It studies the estimation of persistent dynamic relationships in panel models with unobserved heterogeneity and predetermined regressors, combining methodological contributions with an application in growth empirics.The first paper analyzes structural breaks in persistence in a dynamic panel first-order autoregressive model w
The purpose of this thesis has been to investigaste the phenomenon of self-harm. To investigate this phenomenon, I interviewed three experts in Malmö and then compared the result with previous research on self-harm behaviour. The questions I wanted to answer were the following: How common is self-harm behaviour and how does it, according to experts, manifest itself among young men in Malmö? What
Malawi is an illustrating case of how gender inequalities exacerbate the spread of HIV/AIDS, and particularly undermines womens chance to protect themselves from getting infected. Further, a strong civil society has, e.g. by the Malawian state, been recognised as a crucial feature in fighting HIV/AIDS. On this background, this thesis attempt to understand to what extent the Malawian civil society
After the formation of the European Union internal market in 1992, member state specific obstacles and barriers were largely removed. This was especially the case in harmonised industries where standardisation and technical regulation have led to legal certainty. Despite this, a large range of trade regulation continues to remain distortional to trade, in addition to the ongoing tariffs and subsid
Microfluidic applications nowadays have become of great interest due to their broad compatibility especially in biological applications, and one of them being droplet-based cell encapsulation. Cell encapsulation in droplets is carried out by discretising an aqueous phase (i.e. cell suspension) and including them into a continuous oil phase. This methodology is a potential gateway to high throughpu
1 januari 1990 tillkom rekvisitet klart behov vid omprövning av gemensamhetsanläggning enligt 35§ AL. Lagändringen berodde på att det tidigare var allt för restriktivt att ompröva gemensamhetsanläggningar, det var svårt att uppfylla de två tidigare rekvisiten, ändrade förhållanden och föreskrift för omprövning. I lagtexten står det inte tydligt vad klart behov innebär. Syftet med detta arbete är aIn January 1990 the term clear need was introduced while reassessing a joint facility according to 35§ AL. The law changed due to restrictions in the two previous terms making them difficult to achieve, changed conditions and regulation of reassessing. Clear need is not defined in the law texts nor is it defined in the legislative history or the government bill. The purpose of this paper is to sh
