Sri Lanka has been a leading example among developing nations in the fight against poverty. Human development has been a priority of the Sri Lankan government, and many social indicators are today more in line with those of a developed country. Still poverty is a severe and widespread problem in the country. The economic growth has been under the country’s potential, and the unequal development ha
The trade relationship between the EU and the ACP countries are currently being renegotiated under the framework of European Partnership Agreements. These EPAs are not only concerned with traditional market access commitments but are also targeting the ‘Singapore issues’ and especially the area of government procurement. The reason for this is found in the economics of trade theory that illustrate

Uppsatsens syfte är att analysera hur barns beslutskompetens inom hälso- och sjukvård regleras i svensk rätt jämfört med Europeiska rådets biomedicinkonvention. Trots att Sverige har undertecknat konventionen har den ännu inte ratificerats, vilket gör det relevant att undersöka hur väl svensk rätt överensstämmer med dess regler och principer. Individens rätt till självbestämmande är central i bådThe purpose of this essay is to analyse how children’s decision-making capacity in healthcare is regulated in Swedish law compared to the Council of Europe’s Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine. Although Sweden has signed the convention, it has not yet been ratified, making it relevant to investigate how well Swedish law aligns with its rules and principles. The individual’s right to self-
Denna uppsats undersöker hur systemet för ersättning av rättegångskostnader i förvaltningsprocessen förhåller sig till rätten till en rättvis rättegång. Denna uppsats undersöker också vilka möjligheter som finns för att få ersättning för rättegångskostnader i förvaltningsprocessen genom en separat skadeståndsta-lan i allmän domstol. För att svara på frågeställningarna tillämpas rättsdogmatisk metoThis thesis examines the system for reimbursing legal costs in the administra-tive law proceedings and how it relates to the right to a fair trial. It also inves-tigates the possibilities for obtaining reimbursement of legal costs in adminis-trative proceedings through a separate damages claim in a general court. To address the research questions, a legal dogmatic method is applied, with a signif
The current, seemingly uninhibited, growth of AI technologies presents one of the most critical modern day quandaries. The magnitude of its potential to develop, necessitates a deeper look into the legal implications associated which this technology. This thesis aims to describe and analyse the obligations of complete data sets in Article 10 AIA and its relationship with article 5(c) GDPR, using t
The rising levels of greenhouse gas emissions, especially of carbon dioxide, imposes a significant threat to the world, requiring new decarbonisation technologies. This thesis explores integrating a Power to X system with an existing biogas plant utilizing waste from salmon fishery. Three pathways for upgrading biogas to methanol or methane were investigated: (P1) direct carbon dioxide to methanol
Test Case Prioritization and Selection (TCPS) methods aim to order or select tests to minimize test execution time without significantly reducing test coverage. In collaboration with a System Analysis Team at Arm, this project demonstrated machine learning-driven prioritization in an industrial Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline, using predictive models to optimize test execution. The team runs
Urban densification is increasingly promoted as a strategy for sustainable urban development, yet it poses significant challenges for access to daylight and sunlight, particularly in Nordic climates where natural light is limited for large parts of the year. In Sweden, ensuring adequate daylight in residential environments is both a regulatory requirement and a critical factor for occupant well-be
There exists a lack of laser-based remote sensing methods that give signals with high intensity and directionality. According to previous research, mirrorless lasing can meet these requirements; however, neither the dependence on the gain medium geometry nor the light-matter interaction responsible for the emission has been investigated in detail. This thesis project examined the sideways lasing e
Increasing cross-Atlantic tensions have raised concerns that the United States may leverage European digital dependencies for political gain. This has made the EU’s dependence on US cloud providers increasingly politically salient, as cloud infrastructure forms a central part of the European digital economy and may create vulnerabilities to geopolitical coercion. This thesis examines how the EU ba
Purpose:Rapid changes in diet, physical activity and food systems have contributed to rising obesity in developing countries. As national incomes increase, obesity often shifts from higher to lower socioeconomic groups, a process known as the obesity transition. Small Island Developing States (SIDSs) face particular risks because of limited health system capacity, geographic isolation and dependen
With approximately 94 percent of traffic accidents being caused by human error, improving driver behaviour has the potential to save lives. To encourage safer driving, Volvo Cars is developing a Safety Coach feature for their mobile application. However, pilot studies of a minimum viable product (MVP) indicated low user retention, suggesting the need for design elements that better support user en
This Master’s Thesis explored how traditional computer vision methods and deep learning methods could be used to estimate hardwood and softwood fibre distributions in paperboard. 11 mixtures ranging from 100% hardwood to 100% softwood with 10% increments were analysed. The study compared the usefulness of tomograms and radiographs for the given task. It was found that traditional methods did not
This thesis examines how PR staff at a diplomatic mission adapt institutional communication to social media in their everyday work, and which organisational, professional, and platform-related conditions facilitate or constrain this work. As diplomatic communication increasingly takes place through social media content, embassies must translate central directives into locally relevant and platform
This project examines whether a Taylor-based risk-factor mapping framework can accurately and efficiently estimate Value at Risk for option-heavy portfolios without the high computational cost of full revaluation. The method maps changes in portfolio value to a selected set of market risk factors, including equity spot returns, foreign exchange rates, interest-rate curves, and principal components
Marine microorganisms have the potential to disperse widely with few obvious barriers to gene flow. However, among microalgae, several studies have demonstrated that species can be highly genetically structured with limited gene flow among populations, despite hydrographic connectivity. Ecological differentiation and local adaptation have been suggested as drivers of such population structure. Her
Online hemodiafiltration (HDF) is a dialysis modality that can improve patient outcomes beyond those achieved with conventional high-flux hemodialysis (HD) in patients with kidney failure. The CONVINCE trial, the latest and the largest of a series of randomized trials comparing HDF with HD, demonstrated a 23% reduction in the risk of all-cause mortality with high-volume HDF compared to high-flux H
Introduction: Reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) is a central analytical technique in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical science, where it is essential to reliably detect, separate, quantify, and purify drugs, of which a majority contain basic groups. Background: Basic analytes often exhibit poor peak shape, for example tailing, due to mixed-mode interactions with the stationary phase.
Our thesis aimed to investigate how the Swedish district courts and appellate courts present arguments for visitation rights while safeguarding children's rights in custody cases involving instances of violence. The analysis and concluding discussion focused on three research questions: How do the district courts and appellate courts argue on visitation rights in custody cases involving instan
