This is a review of the recent publication “Pharmaceutical Innovation, Competition and Patent Law – A Trilateral Perspective”, edited by Max Planck Director Josef Drexl and Finnish scholar Nari Lee (Edward Elgar 2013, 322 p., ISBN 978 0 85793 245 7). In summary, I conclude that the editors, who also contributed with excellent papers, have succeeded very well in the difficult task of structuring, s

The present status and development of strong-field nano-optics, an emerging field of nonlinear optics, is discussed. A nonperturbative regime of light-matter interactions is reached when the amplitude of the external electromagnetic fields that are driving a material approach or exceed the field strengths that bind the electrons inside the medium. In this strong-field regime, light-matter interact

Species invasion and range expansion are currently under scrutiny due to increasing anthropogenic impact on the natural environment. This is also true for harmful algal blooms, which have been reported to have increased in frequency. However, this research is challenging due to the ephemeral nature, small size and mostly low concentrations of microalgae in the environment. One such species is the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bioprocesser är samlingsnamnet på alla de system där man utnyttjar någon biologiskt aktiv komponent (biokatalysator) för att utföra (katalysera) en bestämd reaktion. I den här avhandlingen används ordet bioprocess för mikrobiologiska odlingsprocesser, och biokatalysatorn är då en mikroorganism. Man kan utnyttja mikroorganismer för att producera t.ex. enzymer (för miljöv

We examine Lars E O Svensson's prominent critique of the monetary policy of the Sveriges Riksbank (the Swedish central bank) from 1995-2012. Our main objection concerns Svensson's conclusion that the original pre-Friedman/Phelps version of the Phillips curve based on constant inflation expectations has returned for Sweden. Based on estimates of this model, Svensson claims that that the Riksbank's

The diversity of viral strategies to modulate complement activation indicates that this component of the immune system has significant antiviral potential. One example is the Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) complement control protein (KCP), which inhibits progression of the complement cascade. Rhesus rhadinovirus (RRV), like KSHV, is a member of the subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae and

Denna uppsats undersöker när, och vilken typ av, statligt stöd, till icke-statliga aktörer, utgör ett brott mot våldsförbudet enligt artikel 2(4) i FN-stadgan, med Nicaragua-domen som utgångspunkt. Internationella domstolen fastställde att beväpnande och utbildning av icke-statliga väpnade grupper utgör ett brott mot våldsförbudet, medan finansiellt och, vissa typer av, logistiskt stöd i regel falThis thesis examines when, and what type of, state support to non-state actors constitutes a breach of the prohibition on the use of force under Article 2(4), using the Nicaragua judgement as a central reference point. The ICJ established that arming and training non-state armed groups amount to an unlawful use of force, while financial and some forms of logistical support generally fall under the

Det försämrade säkerhetspolitiska läget i Europa sedan Rysslands fullskaliga invasion av Ukraina 2022 har föranlett en omorientering av svensk försvars- och säkerhetspolitik. Inom denna kontext har Sverige både ansökt om och beviljats medlemskap i Nato samt ingått ett bilateralt försvarssamarbetsavtal med USA (DCA-avtalet). Uppsatsen behandlar hur staters rätt att utöva jurisdiktion enligt folkrät

This thesis investigates the characteristics of the Nigerian alternative online media as an effective tool for political discourse with the intent to influence governance despite claims that the form of media is awash with political misinformation - which is mostly termed “fake news” in the local parlance. This thesis takes an Afrikology stance in defining the role of the Nigerian alternative onli

The rise of the internet, social media, and populist leaders in recent years has turned attention towards conspiracy theories, making them appear as phenomena which are becoming increasingly widespread. Although conspiracy beliefs have not necessarily increased over time, their growing visibility has emphasized the negative consequences associated with belief in them, such as heightened political

The aim of our study was to analyze how Sweden’s four national daily newspapers – Aftonbladet, Expressen, Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet – portrayed the anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats from May 2014 to October 2016. There are a number of reasons why it is highly relevant to study the Sweden Democrats. Firstly, their rise from relative obscurity to becoming the country’s third largest party o

This thesis applies a Foucauldian genealogy to examine the power relations in global univer-sity rankings, by analysing three strategic reports from Lund University. The strategic reports are from 1995-2000, 2012-2016, and 2017-2026. The theory applied is Foucault’s pow-er/knowledge theory. The research question that guides this thesis is What signs of adaptation to rankings can be identified in t

This master’s thesis takes its cue from Polish sociologist Franciszek Czech (2019), who argued that the saturation of Polish magazines with conspiracy narratives suggests a deep polarization of the Polish society on a political level. Systemic and event conspiracy narratives frequently featured in media outlets both associated with the ruling Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (PiS) and its opposition Platfor

Now more than ever, climate change poses one of the greatest threats to our existence. Regardless of religion, economical wealth, culture or politics, no-one can escape the imminent consequences of climate change. There have been numerous efforts made by political leaders world-wide to prevent climate change and develop sustainable solutions. However, due to conflicting political wills and the com
