Abstract Title: Responsibility Laundering: FIFA and the Discursive Maintenance of Legitimacy Course: Managing People, Knowledge and Change Authors: Aimar Soto and Jesper Laan Supervisor: John Murray Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how global organisations maintain legitimacy when operating across multiple and conflicting normative environments. The study’s goal is to understa
This thesis examines whether the institutional monetary policy regime influences corporate risk-taking by comparing publicly listed firms operating under the European Central Bank (ECB) with firms in European countries that retain monetary sovereignty. While previous literature has established that monetary policy affects corporate investment and risk-taking through changes in financing conditions
Background and objective: Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most common cancer and a leading cause of death among males. In this systematic review we evaluated cohort studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the relationship between dietary patterns and PC risk, progression, mortality, and biomarkers. Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central was conducted th
BACKGROUND: Child abuse continues to pose a significant threat to children's health. The repercussions of abuse are profound, impacting the child's physical, social, and emotional well-being, with potential long-term effects that may extend into adulthood. To assist in identifying health concerns in children associated with exposure to physical abuse, a health questionnaire was developed to be use
BACKGROUND: Inadequate or excessive nociceptive control during general anesthesia can result in significant adverse outcomes. Using traditional clinical variables, such as heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and respiratory rate, to assess and manage nociceptive responses is often insufficient and could lead to overtreatment with both anesthetics and opioids. This study evaluated the feasibility
This thesis develops and evaluates a Random Forest (RF) machine learning classification framework for detecting clear-cut forest felling events using Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite data. While RF classification is widely applied in forest monitoring, its performance for operational clear-cut detection in Latvian semi-boreal forests remains insufficiently studied. This study aims to assess the

This section gives an overview of Lake Victoria, that is currently underutilized for cargo transportation by the 3 East African states of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, despite the great potential of this shared water body for multimodal transport and trade opportunities. In order to sustainably develop infrastructure on Lake Victoria, the three member states must adopt sustainable business models t
BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing general anesthesia are more frequently monitored for depth of anesthesia using processed electroencephalography. Opioid-free anesthesia is nowadays an accepted modality for general anesthesia, however it is unclear how to interpret data from processed electroencephalography when using a mixture of non-opioid anesthetic drugs. Our objective was to describe density sp
BACKGROUND: The REC-CAGEFREE trial showed that drug-coated balloons (DCB) did not achieve non-inferiority in the treatment of non-complex de novo lesion compared to a strategy of drug-eluting stents (DES). However, a prespecified subgroup analysis of arteries sized <3.0 mm revealed no difference in the device-oriented outcome compared to DES. The aim of present study was to validate that finding i
This research report is a compilation of essays written by guest researchers from Central Asia who spent four to twelve months at the Department of Sociology of Law, Lund University, and conducted research on various topics pertaining to legal cultures, governance and business environments in Central Asia. These guest research stays (secondments) took place in the framework of the EU-funded projec
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of patients received ambulatory treatment, highlighting the importance of primary health care (PHC). However, there is limited knowledge regarding PHC workload in Europe during this period. The utilization of COVID-19 PHC indicators could facilitate the efficient monitoring and coordination of the pandemic response. The objective of this study
In the emerging field of plasma-assisted ammonia (NH3) combustion, the evolution of key intermediate species has rarely been reported. This work establishes a simultaneous measurement system of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) for hydroxyl (OH) and quantitative two-photon-absorption LIF for atomic oxygen (O), to explore the OH and O dynamics in an NH3/air flame affected by a nanosecond (ns) pulsed
The effects of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) on anxiety in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are understudied. We identified clinical predictors of STN-DBS effects on anxiety in this study. In this prospective, open-label, multicentre study, we assessed patients with anxiety undergoing STN-DBS for PD preoperatively and at 6-month follow-up postoperatively. We assessed the Hospital An
Context. Gravitational waves from black-hole (BH) merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected based on most stellar evolution models-And also higher than known stellar-origin black holes in our Galaxy. It has been proposed that those high-mass BHs are the remnants of massive metal-poor stars. Aims. Gaia
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to provide novel comparative insights on the contributions of injury deaths to the changes in sex gaps in life expectancy (SGLE) and sex gaps in life disparity (SGLD) across Nordic countries.STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective demographic analysis of aggregated mortality data.METHODS: To compute life expectancy (LE)/life disparity (LD), annual data on age- and se
