In China, more food companies started to apply and use the green food label as their strategy tool which can be used to attract customers and gain good reputation. However, it is still not clear how the green food label works and improves the firm reputation standing in customer pe

This thesis investigates the implications of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) on the principle of sovereignty and economic regulation within the international legal framework. By employing a legal dogmatic method, the research systematically analyses primary and secondary legal sources to understand and explain the evolving nature of state sovereignty and extraterritori

The aim of this written thesis is to expand the toolbox for fast and high-quality work for film composers. Using autoethnography and a self-conducted sleep experiment, the author attempted to find out if biphasic sleep increased work efficiency. The author was unable to adapt biphasic sleep as a new tool and found that a combination of naps and the use of various self-organization methods such as

Galektiner är små proteiner som finns i vår kropp och de förekommer antingen intracellulärt och i cytoplasman eller extracellulärt. De binder till kolhydrater på cellytan med hög affinitet, speciellt de som innehåller galaktos och det avgör dess viktiga roll i de olika fysiologiska processerna i kroppen. De är involverade i modulering av cellulära processer såsom programmerad celldöd när cellen ärGalectins are glycan-binding proteins that can reprogram the function of many cell types. They are involved in different positive and negative physiological functions in the human body including inflammation and autophagy. Thus, they have been suggested as therapeutic targets for tumour progression and they have been proposed as biomarkers for diagnosis. Galectins bind to the carbohydrates on the

När offentliga verksamheter genomföra inköp av arbete, tjänster eller produkter är det viktigt att de görs på ett transparant, förutsägbart och ekonomiskt fördelaktigt sätt. Detta för att minimera risken för korruption och för att skattemässiga medel skall användas så effektivt som möjligt. Inköpen måste därför gå igenom en offentlig upphandlingsprocess, där alla potentiella leverantörer får en chCircular public procurement has the potential of supporting the transition towards a circular economy. Public purchases of IT are responsible for a significant amount of Sweden’s total public procurement emissions. However, IT product’s climate impact can also be greatly reduced through circular strategies. With the goal of inspiring and guiding public procurement officers and decision makers to p

The everyday encounter with humans in vulnerable and exposed life situations makes emotions a big part of social work. This part can become overwhelming and stressful with serious consequences such as occupational burnout when professionals lack emotional resilience. Emotional resilience can be trained and used as a preventional personal skill for social workers exposed to emotional labor. Therefo

In this thesis, I study the evolution of individual dark matter halos as I change their environments. Dark matter halos at present day are traced back to their constituent particles in the initial conditions and inserted, or "spliced", into environments of differing distance to a large filament. Splicing retains all initial information of the halos evolution, allowing to probe the non-li

This is a study that explores how digital sex workers create intimacy for their customers. It furthers not only the literature regarding sex work but also the research on digitally mediated relationships. I conducted semi-structured interviews with six women who have experience with digital-only sex work. Three of these interviews were also complemented with a body mapping session. The data was an

I takt med den omtalade våldsutvecklingen i Sverige och politikers diskussion kring trygghetsskapande syftar denna uppsats till att undersöka trygghetsbegreppets innebörder och utveckling. Uppsatsen bygger på en observation och analys av Sveriges fyra största partiers partiledare Ulf Kristersson, Magdalena Andersson, Jimmie Åkesson och Nooshie Dadgostars uttalanden på Instagram gällande gängkrimin

The establishment of Indonesian AID can be seen as Indonesia’s official statement to the world on its intent of playing a more prominent role as a donor of international development aid. However, looking at the available data, it seems that Indonesian AID is still deep in the early days of its establishment. Little seems to have gone into “enforcing” its role as donor, with “reorganizing” seeming

The annual plastic production was over 400 million tonnes in 2023 and it is expected to keep growing over the years. The increasing use of fossil-based materials and problems regarding the environmental impact of plastic waste motivate the transition towards a circular economy. Interest in 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has increased due to the possibility of being a biobased building block in the

Researchers of contemporary literature have noticed a surge in motherhood memoirs and literature that reflects on contemporary motherhood. Kate Zambreno’s three literary works – Book of Mutter (2017), Drifts (2020) and The Light Room (2023) – are examples of contemporary life-writing. In different but prominent and clear ways, these three works acknowledge and contemplate mothering, the act of wri

A central part for organizations in achieving intended strategies and successfully executing projects is project portfolio management (PPM). However, many companies fail to effectively manage projects related to strategy, and a little research has focused on the realization of PPM regarding organizational development. To gain further understanding of how PPM can contribute to a higher efficiency

Syfte: Att undersöka effekter av olika preventiva åtgärder för att förhindra kontrastmedelsinducerad njurskada i samband med administrering av jodkontrastmedel vid röntgenundersökningar. Metod: Icke-system

Ett flertal studier har undersökt personlighet och kognitiv förmåga i förhållande till livsutfall. Det är däremot färre longitudinella studier som undersökt dessa samband, vilket medför oklarhet i hur mycket individuella skillnader kan förklara livsutfall. Syftet med denna studie var att använda senaste europeiska tvillingdata för att undersöka personlighet och kognitiv förmåga som prediktorer förNumerous studies have examined personality and cognitive ability in relation to life outcomes. However, longitudinal studies examining these relationships are relatively scarce, leaving the extent to which individual differences can account for life outcomes still unclear. The focus of this study was to use the latest European twin data to study personality and cognitive ability as predictors for

The aim of this study is to identify perceptions, gender stereotypes and stigmatization surrounding female substance abusers on the internet forum Flashback. Sweden is often lauded as one of the most gender-equal countries in the world. Despite this, there are gender equality issues that can be traced to how men and women are treated differently in society. This also applies to perceptions of subs
