The existence of systems has been essential in bringing order and providing benefits and security for people throughout the course of history. However there are cases wherein people have difficulties in adopting or conforming to systems. The aim of this study is to understand how systems that intend to be open encounter the paradox of excluding people in the process. The Public Transportation Age

Insect pollinators, such as bees, provides us with important ecosystem services. Unfortunately, a decline in key pollinators has been seen globally. Habitat loss and fragmentation, e.g, caused by urbanization, have been pointed out as important driving factors of pollinator declines. However, studies have also shown that species richness of pollinators can be greater in urban than in rural habitat

This thesis examines the discursive and practical use of the theoretical concept of the entrepreneurial city in a case study of a new city district, Norra Sorgenfri, Malmö, Sweden. A concern with the concept of the right to the city and use of Norra Sorgenfri’s public spaces is part of the examination. The entrepreneurial city approach suggest that contemporary cities are developed primarily throu

The chaperone DNAJB6 can suppress fibril formation of amyloid-β. This is dependent on functionally important conserved serine (S) and threonine (T) residues located in a C-terminal domain which is dominated by β-strands. Substitution of the conserved ST-residues with alanine residues results in loss of this function. In this thesis two DNAJB6 mimic constructs are examined to see whether or not the

The figure-of-eight solution is unusual in being a stable solution of the planar three-body problem. To study its stability, we first implement a numerical integrator, the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method, and demonstrate that it is accurate enough to integrate the figure-of-eight for thousands of periods. To examine what effect initial perturbations have on it, we define two perturbation schemes, one

The purpose of this thesis is to cover the definition and basic properties of the Hausdorff measure and treat the proofs of Davies and Cordoba of the Kakeya conjecture in R^2. The conjecture states that any compact set in R^2 containing a line in every direction has Hausdorff dimension 2. Using mainly basic measure theory we construct the Hausdorff measure and develop relevant theorems, such as Ma

This thesis aims to look at the dispute resolution mechanisms in the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) and how these contribute to the legal certainty of European Union law and the prevention of fragmentation of EU harmonisation. Brexit presented unprecedented challenges to the European Union’s (EU) legal order and brought significant questions to the upholding of legal certainty and har

Habitat loss and nutrient enrichment are major drivers of plant species declines. However, local extinction risks vary widely and are shaped by life-history trait syndromes. Genomic life-history traits, which are simple, stable and widely available, offer a promising yet underexplored approach to improving extinction risk assessments and informing conservation efforts. Using a spatial comparison a

Emotional AI systems decode human emotions through facial micro-expressions, vocal patterns, and physiological data. While the EU Artificial Intelligence Act prohibits emotion recognition in workplaces and educational institutions, broad security exemptions permit deployment in military, defense, national security, and law enforcement contexts. This article demonstrates how these exemptions create

This paper discusses the European Union sugar policy and its impact on the sugar industry in Mozambique. The paper examines the importance of sugar to Mozambique, the foreign investments, export and trade, the rural sector, employment and what effect the EBA initiative has had and will have in the country. The European Union has presented a new reform proposal that will be effective in 2006.The pr

There is still little consensus on whether trade promotes peace or not This thesis aims at investigating the relationship between economic interdependence and conflicts in post-Soviet countries, contributing to the empirical literature on the regional level. Using dyadic measures of trade and conflict, I investigate the relationship between interdependence and onset conflict, ongoing conflict, and

The European Green Deal and the subsequent action plans, including the “Action Plan on Circular Economy” and “A new Industrial Strategy for a globally competitive, green and digital Europe”, recently adopted by the European Commission, indicate that sustainability and environmental concerns, among others, are becoming more and more important in the eyes of the legislator. Sustainable development i

Eco-social policy seeks to provision welfare by upholding ‘social floors’ while operating within ‘ecological ceilings’, de-centering economic growth as a narrative of development. Advocates explore the role of policies integrating ecological and social goals in providing sustainable welfare. By focusing on Sweden, this thesis aims to explore the role of taxation as a tool for fostering change by a

In this article it is argued that a peculiar dichotomy between pro-Hebrews and pro-Pauline readers has been construed in Jewish-Christians relations, which has resulted in Hebrews being read differently, compared to the Pauline epistles.
