Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur The North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO:s) policydokument förhåller sig till jus ad bellum som det formuleras i teorin om rättfärdigat krig. Då den moderna folkrätten inte verkar ta upp all krigsföring som förs idag har de teologisk-etiska argumenten kommit tillbaka. Detta har lett till att den här uppsatsen är utformad som den är. Utifrån k

The purpose of this paper is to study the dynamics og interaction between equity markets in the US, the EMU and Sweden. We apply an extended AR-GARCH model to the index returns of various industries to capture mean and volatility spillover effects, as well as heteroskedastic variance. We find strong evidence of both mean and volatility spillover from both the US and the EMU into the Swedish market

The devastating effect of climate change can be seen especially in geographically vulnerable countries. Every year, a disaster-prone country like Bangladesh; loses much of its resources as a consequence of natural calamities. Bangladesh is situated in a geographical position where natural devastation occurs often-resulting in substantial damages to poor villagers. Expected natural transformation,

Our main findings are that Swedish cross-border M&A’s on average perform positively around the announcement of cross-border M&A’s, which is contrary to previous studies. Furthermore, we also find cultural distance to positively impact the announcement effect of cross-border M&A’s, also contradictive to previous findings. However, we cannot ensure that cultural distance itself affects t

Volunteer tourism (VT) has over the past decades rapidly increased and many young individuals travel to the Global South with intentions to develop communities and travel. Critique has however indicated that unskilled young individuals do not contribute to the development of the community, rather the opposite. This study examines how students of development studies at Lund University reflect back

While overall Erasmus participation rates are increasing, the number of UK students taking part is falling, and the particularity of the ‘British case’ is one that merits investigation. This thesis is concerned with notions of identity as understood by English Erasmus students specifically, and investigates how such students understand European identity and British identity, both in relation to ea

In this chapter, the authors challenge the myth that more is always better and that sufficiency – a principle of having enough but not excess – would mean deprivation, sacrifice, and the end of modern life. Instead, they argue that sufficiency is a pathway to a more just, fulfilling, and sustainable future. Drawing on existing research and a growing body of practice, they highlight five key argume

Measurements of integrated and differential cross-sections for W±Z production in proton-proton collisions are presented. The data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider from 2015 to 2018 at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV are used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. The W±Z candidate events are reconstructed using leptonic decay modes of the gauge boso

The integration of Proton Exchange Membrane electrolyzers into hydrogen generation systems offers significant potential for sustainable energy solutions. Integrating hydrogen production with electricity, heat, and renewable energy sources enhances sustainability. PEM electrolyzers effectively address renewable energy intermittent by converting energy into hydrogen, leveraging their ramp rate and l

This chapter critiques the widespread belief that technological innovations and green consumerism are sufficient to achieve sustainability. The authors show how techno-optimism creates lock-ins in policy and business and reassures consumers that superficial changes are enough, while ignoring structural drivers of unsustainable consumption. The chapter explores the consequences of techno-optimism a

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is a well-recognized risk state for developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia. Optimal risk stratification for early interventions and clinical trial selection remains challenging. This study evaluates progression risk across multimodal biomarker profiles in SCD.METHODS: We conducted a longitudinal observational study incl

Previous research on cardiometabolic risk has mostly used a variable-centred approach, assessing risk factors separately or in predefined combinations. This study used a probabilistic modelling approach to identify distinct cardiometabolic risk classes and estimate the predicted prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis. The analysis included 28,307 middle-aged adults from the Swedish CArdioPulmon

Background: Effectively identifying individuals exposed to drug underuse, overuse and potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) in older adults is essential for minimizing preventable drug-related harms. Methods: We analysed data from 54,296 individuals aged 60–74 years from the German National Cohort (NAKO). We assessed the frequency of PIM, untreated conditions (medication and vaccination under

Background A valid definition of severe heart failure (HF) is essential for earlier identification, timely referral for advanced therapies, and to optimize clinical trial design. Objectives To assess the prevalence, prognostic performance, and 1-year outcomes associated with different definitions of severe and advanced HF (AdvHF) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF

This thesis analyses the political implications of core traditional humanitarian principles of neutrality, impartiality and independence. With the end of the cold war the phenomena of ?new conflicts? have largely replaced traditional inter-state wars, hence the context of humanitarian emergency situations are no longer the same. Based on case studies of two humanitarian emergency relief operations

This project was conducted as a phenomenological study, focusing on organizational culture connected to communication, of the collaboration between the academic world and small private companies. The purposes were to get a deeper understanding of culture and communication and to use phenomenology as a research approach, to see what it can contribute with. Data collection was obtained by an intern

"The aim of this thesis is to study the implied volatility on certain warrants on the Nordic Derivatives Exchange and compare it to an EGARCH-forecasted volatility (which throughout the thesis is used as proxy for the true volatility by the authors) in order to see if the difference follows a specific pattern." The difference between the forecasted volatility and the implied volatility f
