Cities are important stakeholders in the EU’s quest to achieve climate neutrality (European Commission, 2020a). The EU has acknowledged the importance of cities through the EU Mission on ‘Climate Neutral and Smart Cities’, which aims to enable 100 European cities to become climate-neutral by 2030 (European Commission, 2021a). However, climate change has the potential to intersect with, exacerbate,
Floods are among the most frequent and destructive natural disasters in Sub-Saharan Africa, exacerbated by climate change, rapid urbanisation, and inadequate infrastructure. In this context, drones, or Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), are increasingly recognised for their potential to enhance disaster management. Yet, adoption across the region remains fragmented, inconsistently integrated into work
IPH, specifically men's lethal violence against females, persists as a persuasive issue, both internationally and nationally. This is despite political reforms such as the 2020 legal amendment addressing such violence. In response to contemporary concerns and to analyse the phenomena deeper, this thesis focuses on the narratives, dynamics, and motives presented in court rulings concerning IPH
The exclusive economic right of communication to the public granted to authors in respect of their works, as enshrined in Article 3(1) of the Information Society Directive 2001/29/EC, has been the focal point of extensive litigation, surpassing any other provision within European Union (EU) copyright legislation. Undertaking legal dogmatic research, this thesis seeks to delineate the scope of Arti
The Mediterranean subpopulation of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) is classified as Endangered by the IUCN, yet the western Ionian Sea, a key corridor connecting the eastern and western Mediterranean sub-populations, remains a data-poor region for cetacean monitoring. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) offers an effective approach for long-term surveillance of this deep-diving species, but la
The focus of this thesis is to examine how the civic identity of the second-generation migrants in Italy is constructed through media representations of migration, citizenship, and national belonging. Previous studies focused on migrants’ integration, which was based on their socio-economic situation, mobility, and assimilation process. I argue that these approaches are insufficient to explain how
Braided rivers are among the most dynamic and ecologically valuable fluvial systems, yet their complexity makes remote sensing-based monitoring particularly challenging. The Tagliamento River in northeastern Italy faces potential future regulation through proposed flood-gate infrastructure near the Dignano Bridge, making the establishment of baseline conditions a priority. This study pursued two o
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia is associated with high mortality. Whether cefazolin or an antistaphylococcal penicillin should be preferred for the treatment of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus bacteremia is unclear.METHODS: In an ongoing international Bayesian adaptive platform trial, we conducted an open-label, randomized comparison of cefazolin with an antistaphylococcal penicill
Background and Purpose Post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) improves both the locoregional control and survival in advanced breast cancer. While the use of bolus can enhance skin dose, many oncologists prefer not to use it because of the dramatic increase in skin toxicity. The optimal technique to ensure adequate skin dose is unknown, and this study compares the superficial dose for three technique
The main demographic and psychological correlates of Well-Being (WB) are well-established, but have not yet been assessed in the Swedish population–regularly ranked among the world's top five ranked WB nations–based on large, nationally representative data. Using 2023 Global Flourishing Study data (N = 15,068), this paper analyzes Swedish WB across three domains: demography (e.g., gender, age, and
Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory and Institutional Theory, this study explores the relationship between CEO narcissism, expressed through public facing digital communications, and firm- level Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance across distinct institutional contexts. While emerging literature connects executive use of social media to Corporate Social Responsibility, it remains u
Background: Preoperative lymph node staging in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) using 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET-CT) is sparsely reported. Objective: This study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of PET-CT and conventional computed tomography (CT) for detecting regional lymph node metastases in patients with UTUC, using
Understanding the determinants that influence parents’ decisions to participate with their infants in primary prevention trials is essential for achieving representative study samples and ensuring the generalizability of outcomes. We analyzed quantitative and qualitative data collected from infants eligible for the Primary Oral Insulin Trial (N= 2,750) or the Supplementation with B. INfantis for M
BACKGROUND: In 2022, the Swedish Women's Elite Ice Hockey League (SDHL) became the first women's league to introduce bodychecking. Using insurance data, this study examined injury incidence before and after the implementation of this rule.METHOD: Since 2019, the SDHL has comprised 10 teams with 20-25 players on each. All players in SDHL have license insurance to take care of ice hockey injuries. A
Art and engagement with art have been active and important phenomena of humanity for millennia, and the benefits of engagement with art are persistently being uncovered across interdisciplinary fields of research including the field of social science. From a service perspective this thesis explores the art museum as a service which has the capacity and aim to engage the public with art. In order f
Background: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Swedish men. Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)-based screening reduces metastatic disease and prostate cancer mortality but can lead to overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Diagnostic advances, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have reduced the detection of low-risk disease and paved the way for population-based early detection initia
Renewable electricity generation and green hydrogen production are a growing industry where water electrolysis generates significant amounts of waste heat. Recovering and selling this heat to district heating networks can add a cost-effective and low-carbon alternative to the existing generation units. This research evaluates the operational, economic, and environmental benefits of waste heat inte
