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 aims: Heart transplantation is the preferred treatment for selected patients with end stage heart failure. Kidney function often declines after heart transplantation. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) slow the decline in eGFR in different populations. However, the effect of SGLT2i on kidney function in heart transplant recipients is unknown. Methods: The Dapaglifloz

This thesis takes its departure in the critical marketing scholarship where the scholars diverge into conflicting perspectives—the Market either being un-politicizing or de-politicizing. The aim of the research, therefore, was to contribute to the critical marketing stream of literature by reconciling these theoretical tensions. We conducted this research with an empirical case of a contemporary c

Global rising temperatures is impacting species interactions worldwide including those between host and parasites. A long-term study on a population of blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) linked increases in avian malaria parasites to rising temperatures. Understanding the consequences that these increases in avian malaria parasites are causing is vital. Therefore, data from the past 28 years on this

Efforts to regulate transnational corporations in the context of human rights are not new. They traced back to the early 1970s, when the United Nations first initiated attempts to study the impact of transnational corporations on the international development process and proposed a United Nations Code of Conduct on Transnational Corporations, an initiative that ultimately stalled. A renewed attemp

This thesis analyses the structural limitations of the prevailing entitlement-based framework of international human rights law (IHRL), particularly in pluralistic and multicultural societies, and evaluates whether integrating duties alongside existing rights, a duty-infused reconceptualization, can address those limitations or not? The study draws its primary motivation from a structural crisis i

Industrial pasteurisation is a heat-intensive process with significant potential for decarbonisation. This study investigates how open-source Modelica libraries can be adapted for industry, especially for food industry, and integrated to replace fossil-based thermal systems. Investigations are done to evaluate models of heat pumps, thermal energy storage, specifically the stratified tank, and sol

This thesis examines whether the transfer of a company containing accumulated retained earnings to a shareholder benefiting from a more favourable dividend tax regime can constitute a form of structural dividend stripping under EU law. Unlike traditional dividend stripping arrangements, such as cum-ex and cum-cum transactions, these structures rely on intra-group corporate restructurings through w

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

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

BACKGROUND:Detection of ischemia and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) directly after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) could enable earlier diagnosis and treatment. We evaluated whether post-EVT Sine Spin cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) on the Siemens ARTIS Icono biplane system at the end of the procedure can predict ischemia and ICH on subsequent follow-up computed tomography (FUCT) within 48 hou
