This article seeks to develop an understanding of how corporations manage their social and ethical responsibilities, whilst simultaneously facing allegations of crime. It draws on the case of TeliaSonera, a Swedish corporation prosecuted for committing bribery in Uzbekistan. The article begins by introducing the reader to this so-called ‘Uzbek affair’, before exploring how corporate governance has
For victims of corporate harm, accessing justice in the global landscape is fraught with challenges and limitations – but also contestation and conflict. This paper focuses on these issues by directing attention to the National Contact Points (NCPs), a nonjudicial grievance mechanism in this landscape. It explores the puzzle of why complainants, who portray the NCP as a mechanism that is unlikely
Biomassa har varit en central del av Sveriges strategi för att ersätta fossila bränslen de senaste decennierna. Samtidigt pekar flera studier på att efterfrågan på biomassa riskerar att bli större än den hållbara tillgången med en sådan strategi. Detta skapar betydande osäkerhet kring bioenergins framtida roll i energisystemet – både när det gäller var den kommer att behövas, hur konkurrensen med
Genomgång av det oklara käll- och forskningsläget rörande omständigheterna kring inspelningen av Johnny Bodes kult-LP "Bordellmammas visor". Publicerad som inlagetext i nyutgåva 2025.
Smart Firefighting is a concept that has emerged within the fire engineering and fire science disciplines in recent years. It can enable informed decision making and improved fire safety. However, its scope, definition, outcomes, and value to emergency management remain unclear. To investigate this, a scoping review and a bibliometric analysis were conducted, following the Preferred Reporting Item
En av de vanligaste frågorna som brukar ställas till astronomer är om det finns liv någon annanstans i universum. Vi har ännu inget enkelt svar. Framsteg mot ett svar på denna fråga görs lite i taget. Den här avhandlingen är ett av dessa steg.Min forskning är inriktad på atmosfärerna hos så kallade "ultra-hot Jupiters": planeter i Jupiters storlek som kretsar så nära sina stjärnor att de hettas upOne of the biggest questions people ask astronomers is whether life exists elsewhere in the universe. Unfortunately, we don’t yet have an answer. Instead, progress towards an answer comes in small, careful steps. This thesis is one of those steps.My research has focused on the atmospheres of "ultra-hot Jupiters": planets the size of Jupiter that orbit so close to their stars they are heated to tho
The purpose of the article is to present an overview of how convexity serves as a constraint on the semantics of natural language. I begin by presenting four question that a semantic theory should be able to answer. The semantic theory I propose is based on conceptual spaces, which are geometrical or topological structures provided with a betweenness relation. Previously, I have proposed the crite
There are a plethora of methods for solving the classical multi-label document classification problem. However, when it comes to deployment and usage in an industry setting, most if not all the contemporary approaches fail to address some of the vital aspects or requirements of an ideal solution: i) ability to operate on variable-length texts or rambling documents, ii) catastrophic forgetting prob
Rare earth elements (lanthanides) are critical materials for many applications, particularly those involved in new energy. Extracting these elements economically from low-concentration sources may be challenging. This study investigates the interaction of Ce and Gd with microalgae that have been triggered to form phosphate-rich granules. Lanthanides usually occur in nature as phosphates, and there
When exposed to high levels of phosphate after experiencing phosphate deficiency, microalgae can synthesize granules rich in intracellular phosphate. The understanding of the mechanism of production and nature of these granules remains incomplete. Here we studied phosphate distribution and chemistry in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Desmodesmus armatus using scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (
Environmental Building Certification (EBC) assessments, involving modelling, simulation, and grading calculation, are often time-consuming, prompting a need for streamlining. This investigation assesses existing Building Energy Modelling (BEM) workflows for Swedish context of EBC, focusing on extracting building geometry from Autodesk Revit with minimal information losses, and considering both low
Background: Surgical resection of post-chemotherapy residual masses for metastatic seminoma is discussed controversially with regard to oncological and functional outcome. Furthermore, the role of FDG-PET/CT to detect vital seminoma is still unclear. It is the aim of this study is to report the outcomes of patients with pure seminoma who underwent PC-RPLND. Methods: In this retrospective multi-ins
Today, the vast majority of more than half a million cuneiform inscriptions unearthed across the Middle East are housed in museums and collections in Europe and North America. Their study and publication is confined to books, journals, and electronic resources rendered in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Even the rapidly growing ecosystem of online catalogues and research platforms d
Background: Persistent circulating cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection during neoadjuvant treatment of early-breast cancer (EBC) indicates high-risk disease. Detection of ctDNA post-resection of EBC (molecular residual disease, MRD) indicates occult metastatic disease and impending disease relapse. For ctDNA to be integrated into EBC management, accessible and scalable diagnostic tools are requi
Denna avhandling undersöker antropocentriska frihetsbegrepp och utvecklar en förståelse av interspecies frihet som ett relationellt tillstånd som möjliggör för människor och andra djur att leva ihop utan dominans. Frihet har traditionellt uppfattats som ett uteslutande mänskligt begrepp, grundat i hierarkiska strukturer som legitimerar förtrycket av andra djur. Med utgångspunkt i kritiska djurstudThis dissertation interrogates anthropocentric conceptions of freedom and develops an account of interspecies freedom as a relational condition enabling humans and other animals to flourish without domination. Freedom is traditionally conceived as an exclusively human concept, grounded in hierarchical structures that legitimise the oppression of other animals. Drawing on critical animal studies, e
High-power proton linacs are envisaged as drivers for numerous applications, such as neutron spallation sources for condensed matter study, neutrino factories, muon colliders, hybrid systems for transmutation or energy production, production of rare isotope beams for nuclear physics studies, etc. These linear accelerators are intended to deliver proton beams of up to several MW and tens of MW powe
Scientific breakthroughs in the field of cell and gene therapy lay the groundwork for therapeutic innovation, but their translation and integration into routine care is delayed by systemic inefficiencies and limited cross-sector alignment. The Advanced Therapies model of Lund is a proactive and integrated approach designed to accelerate the development of advanced therapies from discovery to reimb
