This contribution investigates the nexus of legal and economic dimensions in integrating sustainability enhancements into the assessment of anticompetitive agreements under Article 101(3) TFEU, particularly in light of the Commission’s recent Guidelines on Horizontal Cooperation. It is demonstrated that whilst the narrative of market failure at large, and the concept of sustainability failure spec

The Restricted Syndrome Decoding Problem (RSDP) is a variant of the well-known syndrome decoding problem. It has been recently turned into a post-quantum signature scheme named CROSS by Baldi et al.. It is a scheme highlighted for being computationally friendly and providing a compact signature and public key size. This paper investigates an Oracle-based definition of the RSDP that has already pro

Companies increasingly rely on web-based idea management systems (IMS) to source innovative ideas from their employees and external contributors. While existing research emphasizes the critical role of expert feedback in shaping ideators' subsequent contributions, there remains a limited understanding of how various types of feedback—and their interplay—affect future idea success. Grounded in feed

Mobile stroke units (MSUs), which are specialized ambulances equipped with a brain imaging device and staffed with trained healthcare personnel, have the potential to provide rapid on-site diagnosis and treatment for stroke patients. However, efficient access to prehospital stroke care requires optimizing the placement of MSUs. The MSU allocation problem has been previously solved using a traditio

Flyxensjön, som utgör källan till avrinningsområdet, har god vattenkvalitet. Men när floden rinner vidare och korsar flera torvmarker försämras vattenkvaliteten avsevärt, vilket understryker det akuta behovet av att undersöka påverkansfaktorerna i detta avrinningsområde. Denna studie undersöker de rumsliga och tidsmässiga variationerna i vattenkvaliteten längs Kåtån, från Flyxensjön till sjön KöseThe Lake Flyxen, as the headwater of the watershed, maintains good water quality. However, as the river flows downstream and intersects several peatlands, the water quality deteriorates significantly, highlighting the urgent need to investigate the influencing factors in this watershed. This study examines the spatial and temporal variations in water quality along the Kåtån River from Flyxen Lake

Open-source microscopes like the PlanktoScope have recently gained attention as affordable tools for studying plankton diversity. Compared to commercial systems, they are low-cost, modular, and suitable for both scientific research and citizen science projects. In this study, we assembled and tested the PlanktoScope v.2 system to evaluate its performance in identifying and quantifying freshwater a

This dissertation explores the socioeconomic impacts of mine closures in Canada, focusing on the vulnerabilities that arise within local economies and the political economy implications of industrial changes. Through a combination of historical, quantitative, and qualitative analyses, the research provides a comprehensive understanding of the effects of mine closures on employment, municipal finan

Background: Combined CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) and endocrine therapy significantly improve the outcome of patients with advanced estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. However, resistance to this treatment and disease progression remains a major clinical challenge. High expression of the receptor tyrosine kinase REarranged during Transfection (RET) has been associated with resistance to

A new microphysical treatment that includes aerosol–cloud interactions and secondary ice production (SIP) mechanisms is implemented in the convection scheme of the Community Atmosphere Model, version 6 (CAM6). The approach is to embed a 1D Lagrangian parcel model in the bulk convective plume of the existing deep convection parameterization. Aerosol activation, growth processes including collision/

Introduction: Knee pain increases the risk of developing chronic widespread pain (CWP) and knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The prevalence of CWP and KOA has increased, and there is a need for early prevention. Therefore, the aim was to examine the associations of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and lifestyle habits with chronic pain at a two-year follow-up in individuals with knee pain. Methods:

The advancement of disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) for Alzheimer's disease (AD), along with the approval of three amyloid-targeting therapies in the US and several other countries, represents a significant development in the treatment landscape, offering new hope for addressing this once untreatable chronic progressive disease. However, significant challenges persist that could impede the succ

In mathematical education it is crucial to have a good teaching plan and to execute it correctly. In particular, this is true in the field of numerical analysis. Every teacher has a different style of teaching. This thesis studies how the basic material of a particular topic in numerical analysis was developed in four different textbooks. We compare and evaluate this process in order to achieve a

The discovery of pervasive transcription in eukaryotic organisms reveals that majority of promoters produce divergent non-coding transcripts besides their annotated transcripts. A recent study proposed the activation of divergent transcription by SWI/SNF chromatin remodelers. Mutating SNF5 subunit of the complex resulted in decreased levels of divergent transcription. Based on this finding, genomi

Detta arbete undersöker processrättens roll på det migrationsrättsliga området, så som den kommer till uttryck genom ett antal migrationsprocessrättsliga särdrag. Centralt för undersökningen är hur avvägningen mellan de motstående intressena individens rättssäkerhet och processuell effektivitet har gjorts i migrationsprocessen. Den första särdraget som behandlas är den på det migrationsrättsliga This essay examines the role of procedural rules in the field of Swedish migration law, as this role is expressed through a number of procedural features that are special for migration law. The essay focuses on whether the procedural rules of Swedish migration law tend to prioritize the individual’s procedural safeguards or procedural efficiency. The first unique feature of the procedural rules o

Upphandlingar avbryts frekvent och lämnar leverantörer med onödiga deltagandekostnader och förlorade chanser till kontrakt. Denna uppsats syftar till att klargöra rättsläget vad gäller möjligheten till upphandlingsrättsligt skadestånd vid felaktigt avbrutna upphandlingar. I uppsatsen undersöks under vilka förutsättningar en upphandling får avbrytas, möjligheterna till ersättning vid en felaktigt aDuring a public procurement, it is not uncommon that contracting authorities make a withdrawal of the invitation to tender. Such cancellation of the procurement leaves suppliers, or service providers, with unnecessary costs and lost chances of receiving a contract. The ambition of this thesis is to clarify the possibility to receive compensation, within the regulation of public procurement, when a
