This study is an assessment of the functioning of the three year old Transparency Mechanism. The mechanism has a surveiling role in the WTO of the Regional Trade Agreements (RTA). Formation of RTAs has been increasing rapidly during the latest twenty years, causing a tension in the multilateral trading system. RTAs give more preferable treatment to parties within the agreement than to trading part
BackgroundThe ambulance service is facing an increased number of calls and ambulance assignments. Between 12 and 42% of all assignments result in non-conveyance to the Accident and Emergency Department. However, there is limited knowledge regarding satisfaction among patients and significant others when patients are assessed as non-urgent and discharged at the scene. Therefore, the aim of the studBackgroundThe ambulance service is facing an increased number of calls and ambulance assignments.

This chapter introduces the concept of projectification, a concept that aims to capture an increasing reliance on ‘the project’ in our contemporary societies and economies. A project is often thought of as a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique product, service or result. However, sometimes ‘the project’ refers to something less tangible, to a discursive theme in contemporary society This chapter introduces the concept of projectification, a concept that aims to capture an increasing reliance on ‘the project’ in our contemporary societies and economies.

Play is a quintessential human behaviour, underpinned by motor organisation and fundamental for learning and development. However, the motor patterns underlying play have not been computationally characterised in children with autism, despite known play pattern differences, including reduced social and pretend play. Recent evidence of fundamental neuromotor disruption in autism suggests neuromotor
In conventional cell lysate protocols, cell debris is typically discarded to obtain a cleaner lysate. However, this approach has limitations, as it may overlook vital cellular components. By discarding cell debris, researchers may inadvertently exclude crucial elements. Retaining all cellular components offers several advantages for studying molecular biology within various cellular compartments.
This study examined associations between adult attachment orientations and conflict-resolution strategies within romantic relationships using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM). Previous research has linked attachment insecurity to maladaptive conflict behaviours, but most studies have relied on individual-level designs that do not account for the interdependent nature of romantic rela
Animals´ omnipresence in human society makes them both close to and yet remarkably distant from humans. Human and animal lives have always been entangled, but the way we see and practice the relationships between humans and animals – as close, intertwined, or clearly separate – varies from time to time and between cultures, societies, and even situations. By putting these complex relationships in

This paper analyzes the use of populist rhetoric by armed groups as a means to portray themselves as a political actor, focusing on Viv Ansanm-spokesperson Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier’s anti-elite discourse in 2023 and 2024 through a qualitative content analysis. This is achieved through building on existing literature discussing limits of Haitian statehood as well as the historical role of non-sta
Popular Abstract in Swedish Delaktighet i biståndsbedömning av äldre personer inför kommunalt bistånd. Äldre personers, familjemedlemmars och biståndsbedömares upplevelser. Den äldre generationen förväntas snabbt öka i Sverige och i övriga Europa under de kommande årtiondena.

Further, the aim was to illuminate experiences of participation in the needs assessment process of older people and influence on decisions about public home help from the perspective of older needs-assessed persons, their fa
The data-based verification of autonomous driving functionalities requires the detection of driving scenarios and driving styles. Driving scenarios define the tasks that the functionalities have to master, whereas the driving style has an impact on the traffic and thus the recorded traffic scenarios. In this thesis we consider two machine learning models which extract driving scenarios and driving

Abstract When Sámi Blood (dir. Amanda Kernell) came out in 2017, a debate in media in Sweden was born. This was a debate the on silenced oppression and phrenological research faced by the indigenous Sámi people. This oppression from the Swedish state has been ongoing for centuries, and these issues were discussed in Sámi Blood, especially commenting eugenics and what this oppression did to the ind
The purpose of conducting this study was to analyze how forced expropriations and the demolitions of informal settlements could fall under the umbrella of “climate change adaptation” measures. Using an actor-network lens and translation theory, these translations are systematically broken down between three distinct levels: global discourse, national discourse, and implementation. As the idea of a

One of the characteristic features of Indian society is its complex caste system which ranks people into hereditary groups. Most importantly, the foundation of caste association was based on the occupation of each group. And the lowest group within this system have historically been excluded and exploited due to their assigned caste-based occupations. Despite implementing affirmative action polici
The Swedish policy towards ethnic associations constitutes a part of the integration policy, which has been subject to a number of changes since its introduction in the 1970s. The author of this thesis focuses on how the changes and the policy’s pendulous motion have affected the associations. She conducts interviews in order to compare the function of the association today and in the 1970s respec
Family policies, including but not limited to the expansion of formal childcare, are often introduced to facilitate the combination of family care responsibilities and paid labour market participation. While a few studies do not yield evidence of a causal relationship, a large body of literature agrees on the relationship between childcare and maternal employment. Thus, this thesis analyses the ef
Svensk hälso- och sjukvård innehåller i dagsläget ett stort antal informationssystem som inte kommunicerar med varandra digitalt. Detta minskar patientsäkerheten och leder till stora effektivitetsförluster inom verksamheten. Ett aktuellt ämne på både lokal, regional och nationell nivå är därför hur dessa system kan integreras. I denna uppsats presenterar vi ett ramverk för utvärdering av de integr
