This thesis is a study of the development of the Chinese public accounting profession since China launched the “Reform and Opening-up” policy in 1978. The current, established theoretical representations of accounting professionalisation in China are predominantly underpinned by Gramsci’s (1971) hegemony perspective. Such a hegemony perspective has led to a one-sided understanding of accounting pr

Kolinfosfolipider, en nyttig kostkomponent vid alkoholfettlever, NAFLD och NASH?Åke Nilsson, Rui-Dong DuanBakgrundKolin (trimetyletanolamin) ingår i fosfatidylkolin (PC) och sfingomyelin (SM) som finns i alla cellmembraner och i plasmalipoproteiner, och i acetylkolin. Även om levern bildar en del kolin klassas kolin som ett essentiellt näringsämne. Kolinbrist ger bl a fettlever, muskelsymptom och

Introduction: Dual mobility cups (DMC) are gaining in popularity, as a method to reduce the risk of dislocation after fracture-related hip arthroplasty. Our aim was to compare revision rate in general, as well as due to dislocation and infection, after DMC and conventional THA due to femoral neck fracture, for each of the two groups of lateral and posterior approach. Materials and Methods: This ob

Second-hand consumption of clothing can support the transition to circular economies by prolonging the lifespan of products through reuse. Historically, not-for-profit businesses have been dominant actors in second-hand markets across Western Europe and North America. However, with the growing interest in second-hand consumption, for-profit firms have increasingly entered this market over the last

A search for new particles decaying into a pair of top quarks is performed using proton-proton collision data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb-1. Events consistent with top-quark pair production and the fully hadronic decay mode of the top quarks are selected by requiring multip

As both public and private organizations are spending resources on fostering entrepreneurship, we have witnessed the emergence of an entrepreneurship industry. Using the entrepreneurship industry in Sweden as a case and example, this chapter provides an explorative analysis the emergence, manifestations and consequences of cultural ideals within this industry. The analysis reveals how the entrepre

Our aim was to understand mechanisms for clustering and cross-linking of gliadins, a wheat seed storage protein type, monomeric in native state, but incorporated in network while processed. The mechanisms were studied utilizing spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography on a gliadin-rich fraction, in vitro produced α-gliadins, and synthetic gliadin peptides, and by coarse-grained mode

This paper explores an innovation case within a “smart” Swedish mid-sized city that works extensively with digitalization.Over a long period in time, city populations and city tourism have increased, while more urgentchallenges connected to sustainability have emerged along with health-related problems. In parallel the already established and ongoing digitalization of society was fortified in the

The existence of impartial and independent courts is a cornerstone of the success of the European project. The recent renaissance of “illiberal States” jeopardises the application of the rule of law and risks destroying the foundations of the EU legal order. In 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) began developing two new lines of case-law. Firstly, the CJEU found itself to be c

Formation of oxidized products from Δ3-carene (C10H16) ozonolysis and their gas-to-particle partitioning at three temperatures (0, 10, and 20 °C) under dry conditions (<2% RH) and also at 10 °C under humid (78% RH) conditions were studied using a time-of-flight chemical ionization mass spectrometer (ToF-CIMS) combined with a filter inlet for gases and aerosols (FIGAERO). The Δ3-carene ozonolysis p

Here we report new reconstructions of winter temperature and summer moisture during the past millennium in southeastern Sweden, based on stable-isotope data from a composite tree-ring sequence, that further enhances our knowledge and understanding of seasonal climate variability in the Northern Hemisphere over the past millennium. Key features of these new climate proxy records include evidence fo

The aethalometer model has shown to offer a fast, inexpensive and robust method for source apportionment. The method relies on aerosol light absorption attribution, mass balance of the total carbon and results in a fraction of unaccounted, residual carbon that has been associated to biogenic carbon due to its presumably non-light absorbing properties. This residual carbon and its relation to trace

The aim of this thesis is to analyze whether the aggressive foreign policy actions recently taken by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can be understood and explained through political identity theory and role conception theory from a social constructivist theory perspective. This will be done through a discursive analysis method according to Laclau and Mouffe, aiming to identify a discourse of the iden

Post-Materialism is a theory introduced in the 1970's. Post-Materialism is set of values that is stated to have changed, foremost in industrial countries. This shift in values is predicted to lead to changes in attitudes, actions and the social structure, because those who prioritize Post-Materialist values are suggested to think and identify themselves differently. In this thesis, changes in

Objective: To study the impact of tumour necrosis factor-α inhibitor (TNFi) therapy on the use of non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in Iceland. Method: This registry cohort study used data from the nationwide database on biologics in Iceland (ICEBIO) and the Icelandic Prescriptio

This explorative study investigates the emergence of gray zone markets from search engines amidst the global expansion of online markets. With the analytical approach of infrastructural inversion, we examine how the search infrastructure constructs access to a gray zone market including both authorized online pharmacies and unauthorized vendors. Using Sweden and Google Search as a case, we explore

This study analyses seven sufficiency-oriented SMEs in the French fashion sector, categorizing their strategies into efficiency, shift and sufficiency. It reveals the tension in balancing sustainability with financial viability, highlighting the systemic challenges posed by consumer preference for fast fashion.

Background: Access to contraception can be a transformational intervention towards advancement of education, health, and freedom of choice. Countries have committed to improving access to contraception enshrined in the sustainable development goals (SDGs), indicator 3.7.1. Our study seeks to investigate the level of inequality in current use of modern contraception and unmet need for contraception
