That sovereignty is losing its importance within international politics is a commonly occurring claim. When adopted by realists it is used as describing the end of an era where predictions of state behaviour were easily made. When concluded by liberalists, it is seen as marking the transit to a new era where the view on an international system as defined by cooperation due to common interests. Thi

Executive aggrandizement is the incremental and intentional dismantling of constitutional checks and balances on executive power. One particular manifestation of this phenomenon, studied within political science for more than 100 years, is the lawful expropriation by executives of the theoretically exclusive lawmaking power of legislatures, an aggrandizement in conflict with the prescriptions of M

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) has been scrutinised in a large variety of fields and from a wide variety of perspectives. Yet, each new published article proves there is more to be uncovered of the novel and its characters. Still, there exists a discrepancy in the attention afforded to its narrators, as the character of Victor Frankenstein is overshadowed by that of the Creature. This phenomen

Climate change is an escalating global issue, with various parts of the world being impacted differently depending on their geographic placement, development status and financial resources. Over the last couple of decades, the intensified climate change impacts have made the climate a subject to be securitized. This happens when a securitizing actor, like a state representative, articulates the cl

This volume charts the history of transnational and transatlantic fascism in East Central and Southeastern Europe, a lesser-known phenomenon that occurred throughout the twentieth century into the present.Organizations and individuals in this part of the continent, under the influences of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, conceptualized their own forms of fascism in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s.

I dagens snabbt föränderliga samhälle har teknologins inflytande djupt förvandlat olika aspekter av människors liv och medför både stora möjligheter och kritiska säkerhetsutmaningar. För att minska riskerna för dataintrång, skadliga attacker och övergripande cybersäkerhetshot vidtar företag proaktiva åtgärder genom att erbjuda utbildning och träning till sina anställda inom områdena cybersäkerhet In today's rapidly evolving society, the pervasive influence of technology has profoundly transformed various aspects of human life, presenting both unprecedented opportunities and critical security challenges. To mitigate the risks of data breaches, malicious attacks, and overall cyber threats, companies have taken proactive measures by providing education and training to their employees in t

This thesis investigates general equality concerns regarding the current ECOFIN Pillar 2 Directive proposal from 12th of March 2022. More precisely, the author will analysis, if the Directive proposal infringes Article 20 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights through (1) directly connecting a EUR 750 threshold to its scope of application and (2) excluding specific types of entities from its scope o

The present study centers on the experiences of female Bangladeshi migrants who have relocated to Sweden in recent years. I have endeavored to depict the process of their migration from Bangladesh and afterward integration into the Swedish labor market as an immigrant. In Bangladesh Regardless of professional status, women are expected to do housework. Bangladesh's prevalent religious values a

Nowadays it is becoming more and more common for children, young and older, to have some type of mental health problems, but the question is how does this affect the person's life? The purpose of this paper is to get a more specific understanding of mental health problems regarding children. The paper aims to show how mental health affects children, after a diagnosis and/or a turning point in

The credit spread puzzle has long been a well-researched topic within the literature of fixed income securities, focusing on the factors contributing to credit risk to explain credit spreads. This study provides a new perspective on the subject by specifically examining corporate bonds issued by Swedish real estate companies during the years 2019 to 2023. It is investigated whether explanatory var

Thylakoids are the photosynthetic membranes of the chloroplasts in green leaves. Thylakoids have been found to promote satiety when added to food, both in animal experimental models and in human. The thylakoids act through inhibition of lipase-colipase catalysed hydrolysis of triacylglycerol, which is the main dietary fat component. The mechanism for inhibition is either a binding of thylakoids to

The cepstrum of a random process is useful in many applications. The cepstrum is usually estimated from the periodogram. To reduce the mean square error (MSE) of the estimator, the periodogram may be smoothed with a kernel function. We present an explicit expression for a kernel function which is approximatively MSE optimal for cepstrum estimation. A penalty term has to be added to the minimizatio

We propose simple estimation of the location parameter for a density that is unbounded at the mode. The estimator maximizes a modified likelihood in which the singular term in the full likelihood is left out, whenever the parameter value approaches a neighborhood of the singularity location. The consistency and super-efficiency of this maximum leave-one-out likelihood estimator is shown through a

We have estimated the activation energy for aromatic oxidation by compound I in cytochrome P450 for a diverse set of 17 substrates using state-of-the-art density functional theory (B3LYP) with large basis sets. The activation energies vary from 60 to 87 kJ/mol. We then test if these results can be reproduced by computationally less demanding methods. The best methods (a B3LYP calculation of the ac

Organometal halide (OMH) perovskites have attracted lots of attention over the last several years due to their very promising performance as the materials for solar cells and light-emitting devices. Photophysical processes in these hybrid organic inorganic semiconductors are still heavily debated. To know precise absorption spectra is absolutely necessary for quantitative understanding of the fund

Protein dynamics on the micro- to millisecond time scale is increasingly found to be critical for biological function, as demonstrated by numerous NMR relaxation dispersion studies. Methyl groups are excellent probes of protein interactions and dynamics because of their favorable NMR relaxation properties, which lead to sharp signals in the H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra. Out of the six different methyl
