Pulling the Trigger on Women’s Reproductive Rights: The Short-term Effects of Overturning Roe v. Wade on Women’s Mental Health and Labor Markets Outcomes

In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Dobbs in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overturning Roe v. Wade. The decision eliminated the almost 50-year-old constitutional right to abortion and automatically activated trigger laws imposing immediate abortion bans in 12 states. Previous research suggests that legalization of abortion leads to higher female labor force parti

Concrete implementation of t-out-of-n threshold lattice signatures

In preparation for quantum attacks on current cryptographic primitives, efforts are being made to find ways to construct new primitives. While quantum computers are not yet capable of breaking the keys used in modern parameter selection, efforts are still being made to establish new primitives not vulnerable to any known quantum attacks. These newly proposed solutions range from theoretical constr

Greening Bovisa: Striking the balance in urban revitalization Exploring citizens’ perspectives in Milan’s Bovisa district on green urban regeneration, gentrification, and the right to the city

The city of Milan stands today as a prominent model of sustainable urban development. Yet, beneath its allure lies a paradox: the quest for 'green' and 'smart' development has exacerbated privatization and fueled debates on green gentrification, social equity, and urban accessibility. This research explores the emerging impacts of large-scale green urbanization intervention in the

Show Me the Women: A Double Machine Learning approach to unravel the Bechdel test’s impact on box office performance

Despite societal discussions around feminist topics and increasing desire for stories centered on women, female characters in films still remain underrepresented. The Bechdel test, which evaluates female representation by requiring that two named female characters have a conversation about something other than a man, serves as a measure of this disparity. This study investigates the relationship b

Proportionalitetsprincipen och svenska arbetsmarknadskonflikter - En rättsvetenskaplig analys med fokus på proportionalitetsprincipen och dess inflytande för regleringen av sympatiåtgärder på den svenska arbetsmarknaden

Rätten att vidta stridsåtgärder är väletablerad inom den svenska arbetsrätten och utgör en betydande del av den svenska modellen. Detta utmärker sig från många andra länder, där rätten att vidta stridsåtgärder inte är lika vidsträckt. Stridsrätten har däremot varit ett omstritt ämne och frågan om huruvida rätten att vidta stridsåtgärder, i synnerhet sympatiåtgärder, bör begränsas har lyfts i olikaThe right to industrial action is well established within Swedish labour law and constitutes a significant part of the Swedish model. This distinguishes Sweden from many other countries, where the right of industrial action is not as extensive. However, the issue of the right to take industrial action, especially secondary actions, has been contentious, and the question of whether such rights shou

Compensation for latency in XR offloaded tasks using pose prediction

As Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) glasses continue to advance, becoming more compact and user-friendly, certain computationally demanding tasks are being offloaded to edge networks or the cloud. This shift, while enhancing the capabilities of AR/MR glasses, will introduce a new challenge—latency. Latency occurs when there is a need to transmit data to a remote processing unit, perfo
