Intimate partner violence (IPV) is the most common form of violence against women globally, with high prevalence rates among refugee communities. Previous literature indicates its relation to negative mental health outcomes such as depression and the potential help of social protective factors. The current study investigated the protective role of perceived social support (PSS) and cognitive socia
The issue of freedom of expression in the context of Turkey and the European Court of Human Rights (‘ECtHR’ or ‘the Court’) has been widely discussed from legal perspectives. Especially, with the changing political, legal and social dynamics in Turkey within 2003-2022, the case-law of the Court increased by a considerable amount. All the contingencies affecting the argumentative and interpretive a
Against the background of a conservative push against LGBTI+ and women’s rights, in which courts have already become battlefields, it is important to look at how the European Court of Human Rights, a leading human rights adjudicator both in Europe and globally, would respond to arguments made in the name of human rights but whose real purpose is to limit the rights and freedoms of women and LGBTI+
The case Micula gave people the impression that EU law and ICSID arbitration law are incompatible legal orders, unable to accept each other’s dissenting opinions. Every ICSID tribunal decision in the field seems to cause heavy defence reactions in the EU legal system. However, this clearly does not have to be the case if all parties involved behave cautiously. This thesis will analyse in detail
Möjligheten att korrigera den juridiska könstillhörigheten är en process som realiserades under 1970-talet i Sverige genom en specifik könstillhörighetslag. Lagen innebar en viss frigörelse för människor att själva bestämma vilken könsidentitet de identifierade sig med och skulle stå registrerade under i folkbokföringen. Som motprestation ställdes dock ett antal krav på de personer som ville korriThe ability to change the official gender identification was introduced in Sweden, by a particular law regulation, in the beginning of 1970s century. The law meant a certain liberation for people to, independently decide their one gender identity, and which official gender identification they required to get registered into. At the same time, the law also demanded a several conditions in return of
Like a squirrel that slowly collects nuts for the winter, this thesis emphasizes the importance of small acts in the collective struggle for a just world. Currently, oppressive norms confine certain ways of being. Therefore, this feminist study addresses means to counteract these norms by analyzing activist discourse in ten environmental conflicts regarding food. Furthermore, I statistically exami
This thesis utilises congruence analysis to investigate if education can be expected to contribute to democratisation in Cambodia, and if Sweden’s and the EU’s development assistance to Cambodia’s education sector can be considered to contribute to democratisation. The study identifies six causal mechanisms in current literature that links education to democratisation. The conditions for each mech
Efficiency requirements are today found in all Swedish municipalities and regions. With the care manager in lead, the home care organisations are today expected to find efficient solutions to organisational problems. The case of the care manager is studied through a thematic analysis of interview data and recruitment announcements. From 11 interviews with care managers and 23 care managers recruit
Europeiska kommissions förslag till en ny Dublin IV-förordning lades fram den 4 maj 2016, COM 2016 (270). Med hjälp av detta instrument ska det vara möjligt att fastställa vilken medlemsstat som är ansvarig för att granska en ansökan om internationellt skydd från tredjelandsmedborgare och statslösa personer som underställs Europeiska unionen. Förslagets effektivitet kommer att studeras genom dess
The aim of this study is to reveal how the oil-in-water interface of triolein emulsions in aqueous solutions is affected by the lipase activity when using five different surfactants as emulsifiers. For this purpose Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) were applied. Lipases are enzymes that catalyses the hydrolysis of ester bonds of lipids, i.e lipolysis, and act a
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
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
The first ICDRG (International Contact Dermatitis Research Group) classification of patch test reactions was published in 1970. With this classification, many weak reactions were classified as allergic reactions. A second classification was therefore implemented one decade later on behalf of the ICDRG and the North American Contact Dermatitis Group. This classification was adopted by the European
The upstream ends of global supply chains – where raw material extraction or production takes place – are often hotspots for severe sustainability issues such as deforestation, biodiversity loss and human rights violations. Companies are under growing scrutiny from regulators, investors and civil society to ensure upstream-end supply chain sustainability. Yet, companies typically lack visibility b
OBJECTIVES: It remains unclear whether antenatal SARS-CoV-2 exposure affects subsequent infant neurodevelopment. We aimed to investigate the association between antenatal maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection and neurodevelopment in four-month-old infants.METHODS: Data was collected within the prospective multicenter COVID-19 during pregnancy and early childhood study, COPE (NCT04433364). Infants exposed
Aims The REDUCE-AMI trial showed that beta-blockers in patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) had no effect on mortality or cardiovascular outcomes. The aim of this substudy was to evaluate whether global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a better prognostic marker than LVEF, and if beta-blockers have a beneficial effect in patients wit
