Given the need to mitigate adverse impacts of fossil fuel phase-outs, this thesis investigates whetherjust energy transitions lead to inclusive and place-based outcomes, focusing on the Just EnergyTransition (JET) in South Africa. Using a political economy and procedural justice lens, and drawing oninterviews with key stakeholders, the study explores the inclusivity of decision-making processes in
This thesis examines the interpretation of fundamental breach under Article 25 of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, focusing on judicial divergences between Germany and France in the context of supply-chain disruptions occurring between 2019 and 2025. Article 25 establishes substantial deprivation of contractual expectations as the gateway to avoidance
This thesis examines how audience responses to the trans character Player 120 in Squid Game Season 2 are constructed within mainstream celebratory online spaces in a Mexican context. Following the release of the series, the character generated an unusually positive reaction across social media platforms, where she was widely praised and described as an example of “good” inclusion. In a context whe
The decline in areal BMD (aBMD) in men may start as early as age 19, but it is debated whether proximal femoral strength follows the same pattern. We measured FN aBMD in a cross-sectional cohort of 1101 men aged 18-28 yr with two-dimensional DXA. Body height, weight, jump height, grip strength, and maximum knee extension torque muscle strength were measured with standard tests, after which BMI was
Low- and middle-income countries are expanding health insurance to enhance financial protection. However, there is scarcity of evidence on the stakeholder perceptions towards health insurance. This study explores stakeholders' perceptions towards the implementation of the National Health Insurance Scheme in Zambia. This qualitative study is based on 21 in-depth interviews with key stakeholders inv
Tillsammans med klimatförändringar och omfattande överfiske utgör IUU-fiske (olagligt, orapporterat och oreglerat fiske) ett allvarligt hot mot den marina biodiversiteten globalt. En särskilt drabbad region är Västafrika, där kuststater historiskt har haft rikliga fiskeresurser inom sina exklusiva ekonomiska zoner (EEZ) i Atlanten. Den ökande förekomsten av industriellt fiske, till stor del represExacerbated by climate change and general overfishing, illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing poses a serious threat to marine biodiversity globally. One particularly affected region is West Africa, where coastal States have historically possessed abundant fishing resources within their Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) in the Atlantic Ocean. The reliance on industrial-scale fishing, lar
Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine has prompted an extensive sanctions regime by the European Union (EU), which now plays a significant role in shaping the practice of international arbitration. These sanctions have not only made it more difficult to enforce international contracts, but have also placed lawyers in a difficult position, caught between legal obligations and ethical conside
Anne Shirley, the girl and young woman made famous around the world by L. M. Montgomery in the early twentieth century, has been a companion and role model for countless young women. In this essay, my aim is to analyze the first three books about Anne, Anne of Green Gables (1908), Anne of Avonlea (1909) and Anne of the Island (1915), to see in what way it can be said that Montgomery wrote these no
”All that glitters…” är ett examensarbete författat vid Enheten för Medie- och Kommunikationsvetenskap av Darina Nilsson och Emma Vig. Mediernas stereotyper har stor inverkan på människan, och särskilt på minoritetsgrupper i samhället som i högre grad än andra porträtteras på ett stereotypt sätt. Denna uppsats analyserar framställningen av manliga homosexuella karaktärer (Stanford Blatch, Marc St.
The Commission has put forth a proposal for a Regulation on a Common European Law of Sales (CESL). It is envisaged – as of now – as an optional second regime within each member state‘s law, electable for transnational consumer contracts and contracts among traders, as long as one of them is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The intention is to provide contractors with a level playground of one l
The aim of this study is to examine the role of knowledge societies, so called epistemic communities, in the problem-defining and initial decision-making stages of the EU policymaking process leading to a Proposal for amendment of Directive 2003/87/EC establishing the European Emission Trading System (EU ETS). Specifically in the decision to drastically increase the amount of allowances auctioned
Livestreaming är ett medialt fenomen som idag finns tillgängligt för användare på plattformar såsom Facebook, Tiktok, Instagram och Youtube. Möjligheterna med en livestream är enorma och variationen i vad som kan anses vara innehåll för en livestream är lika stor. Innehållet som ligger i fokus i denna uppsats är ett fenomen som kallas för watchalong. En watchalong går ut på att en eller flera pers
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (The Declaration) has gained increasing attention as a tool for promoting indigenous rights. This study contributes to the discussion about its effectiveness by analysing the Declaration’s role in advancing indigenous peoples’ self-determination. A qualitative case study is conducted with Māori activists in New Zealand, using a rig
Ferroelectric thin films present a powerful platform for next-generation computing and memory applications. However, domain morphology and dynamics in buried ferroelectric stacks have remained underexplored, despite their importance for real device performance. Here, nanoprobe X-ray diffraction (nano-XRD) is used to image ferroelectric domains inside BiFeO3-based capacitors, revealing local disord
Across different domains, justice is considered either from a perspective concerning mind-independent features of a situation or from a perspective related to mind-dependent motives, traits or emotions. Although these approaches have generated valuable insights, they remain largely disconnected from each other. What is missing is an integrative framework that can explain how the objective features
OBJECTIVE-To determine the relative risk associated with DPA1 and DPB1 alleles and haplotypes in type I diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-The frequency of DPA1 and DPB1 alleles and haplotypes in type I diabetic patients was compared to the family based control frequency in 1,771 families directly and conditional on FILA (B)-DRB1-DQA1-DQB1 linkage disequilibrium. A relative predispositional ana
The aims of this thesis where the target population has been older adults suffering from osteoporosis related fractures were firstly to study the association between functional impairment due to pain, and activity expressed as walking speed (WS) and Timed Get up and-Go (TUG), and to examine the associations between functional impairment and social participation (SP) and quality of life (QoL). Seco
This study investigates online material published in reaction to a Science magazine report showing the absence of peer-review and editorial processes in a set of fee-charging open access journals in Biology. Quantitative and qualitative textual analyses are combined to map conceptual relations in these reactions; and to explore how understandings of scholarly communication and publishing relate to
The most commonly used 3'-splice site on the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) genome named SA3358 is used to produce HPV-16 early mRNAs encoding E4, E5, E6 and E7, and late mRNAs encoding L1 and L2. We have previously shown that SA3358 is suboptimal and is totally dependent on a downstream splicing enhancer containingmultiple potential ASF/SF2 binding sites. Here weshow that only one of the p
