The purpose of this thesis is to first evaluate how the EU´s FD is implemented and understood on a national level in Sweden. This is done to highlight the process and division of power, together with the national implementation strategies demarcation across different actors in Sweden.

Change in surface area of semi-natural grassland in the Osby municipality, Scania and potential consequences for plant diversity

During the past, land use has changed and still is. It has been recognized that land use changes affect biodiversity all over the world. In Sweden semi-natural grasslands are a habitat with high biodiversity. The topic of this thesis is how land use change has affected the habitat of semi-natural grasslands in the area around Osby, Scania. For that purpose, semi-natural grasslands in a historical

A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study of the Protein Stability of Reteplase in Formulation with Various Excipients during Freeze-Drying Processing

The purpose of this project was to investigate protein stabilization by formulation excipients during the process of freeze-drying using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation. A recombinant therapeutic protein, Reteplase, was used as a model and the study focused on a comparative analysis of two excipients, arginine and tranexamic acid (TXA), as included in commercially available formulations of Rete

The risky reality to legally exist - A critical analysis on the notion of legal identity in International Human Rights Law

Omkring 20 procent av alla människor världen över (1,5 miljarder) har inte ett officiellt, juridiskt dokument som bevis på sin identitet. Detta påverkar till exempel deras rösträtt, att öppna ett bankkonto, få formell anställning eller söka juridisk ersättning. Deras brist på bevis på juridisk existens exkluderar dem alltså från att delta på samtliga nivåer i samhället. Denna omfattande problematiAround 20% of all people worldwide (1.5 billion) do not have an official and legally recognized document as proof of their identity. This affect, for example, their right to vote, to open a bank account, obtain formal employment or seek legal compensation. In other words, their lack of proof for their legal existence excludes them from participating in society on all various levels. This was ackno

Social utsatthet i prostitution/sexarbete och behovet av stödinsatser - En diskursanalys av brukarorganisationerna Fuckförbundet och #intedinhora

Since the legal reform and adoption of the new sex purchase act in 1999, the efficiency of governmental actions and continuance of social vulnerability among prostitutes/sex workers in Sweden have been recurring topics in public debate. Conflicting views on what the problem actually is and how it might best be dealt with, create a divide between those who advocate a liberal feminist perspective, a

Typiska och icke-typiska barn: Hur betydelsen av barns ålder och mognad framställs i kunskapsstöd till socialtjänsten

Swedish legislation states conjunction between age and maturity and children’s right to participate in child protection cases. However, there are no age limitations for participation and neither do the legal sources provide distinctive support in professional assessment of sufficient maturity. The aim is to examine how the significance of children’s age and maturity is described in knowledge suppo

Vikten av det psykologiska: en undersökning av psykisk ohälsa och ätrelaterade bekymmer hos ungdomar med obesitas som bedöms för viktminskningskirurgi på Enhet Barnövervikt

Prevalensen av obesitas hos ungdomar är ett snabbt växande problem i Sverige, och är kopplat till betydande negativa psykologiska konsekvenser för många. Enhet Barnövervikt i Malmö, som behandlar ungdomar med obesitas, har önskat undersöka den psykiska ohälsan och ätrelaterade bekymmer hos patienter som bedöms för viktminskningskirurgi för att utöka sin kunskap. Deras huvudsakliga frågeställningarThe prevalence of obesity in adolescents is increasing rapidly in Sweden, and is associated with psychological consequences. The Childhood Obesity Unit in Malmö, which treats adolescents with obesity, wished to examine the mental health and eating pathology of patients presenting for assessment for bariatric surgery. Their primary research questions regarded the reported levels of these two areas

Informationsasymmetri på den svenska bilförsäkringsmarknaden

Denna uppsats undersöker informationsasymmetri på den svenska bilförsäkringsmarknaden. Genom att använda kunddata från Länsförsäkringar Upp- sala analyserar studien korrelationen mellan täckning och risk. Två logit- modeller estimerar effekten av att en ökad grad av försäkring leder till större sannolikhet för skadeanmälan. Tillsammans med dessa estimeringar kontrollerar vi för att olika försäkrin

Validation of a 3D culture model for toxicity studies in malignant and non-cancerous cells

Cancer is a widespread and commonly fatal disease in constant need of new treatments. Traditionally, new pharmaceuticals have been tested in 2D models. This is not ideal, as 2D environments do not reflect the in vivo milieu of the cells. Instead, it has been increasingly suggested to implement 3D models, which are thought to be more predictive of in vivo responses to treatment. It has been shown t

In September 2020, it was decided that the museum would no longer be financed by the Swedish government and the d

Employing the little group symmetry within the spinor-helicity formalism to constrain scattering amplitudes

This thesis aims to describe the little group scaling and how it simplifies the calculation of scattering amplitudes. The little group has the defining property that it leaves a particular four-momentum invariant, which is used to describe how the internal structure of a particle is transformed under the little group. An important part in the study of little group scaling is the spinor-helicity fo

20 år av ekologisk kompensation – hur gick det sen? Utvärdering av kompensationsåtgärder i Lomma kommun

Den globala urbana ytan har mer än fördubblats de senaste 30 åren, vilket är en stor bidragande orsak till utarmningen av den biologiska mångfalden eftersom växter och djurs livsmiljöer ofta förstörs eller förminskas vid exploatering. För att vända denna trend – men utan att bromsa samhällsutvecklingen – lyfts ekologisk kompensation fram som ett viktigt verktyg, vilket blivit alltmer populärt inomBiodiversity offsetting, an increasingly popular tool in Swedish municipality planning, aims to counterbalance biodiversity impacts from development projects as the last step of the mitigation hierarchy. However, previous studies of the outcomes are scarce and ambiguous which calls for continued evaluation. This study aims to examine offsetting measures in Lomma municipality. Planned measures in f
