The EU has for a long time been a credible member in the WTO, wherein trade partners need to comply with the EU´s regulations in order to import goods to the Single market. However, trade issues may arise from technical regulations, which could constitute non-tariff trade barriers. In the WTOs Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade, members raise such issues, in order to facilitate trade. Since

In this qualitative and poststructuralist policy analysis, the Swedish Crime policy is examined as it is expressed through three political documents from three different parties during the post-election period of October 2022-March 2024. Using Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, with its Lacanian influence on the subject, this paper investigates the political language used in the policy area dur

OBJECTIVE: Data on females managed with fenestrated or branched endovascular aortic arch repair (FB-Arch) are limited. This study aimed to present the 30 day and follow up outcomes of FB-Arch in female patients.METHODS: A retrospective analysis (1 January 2011 to 31 March 2024) among four European aortic centres was conducted according to STROBE guidelines. Consecutive female patients managed with

False lumen management of chronic aortic dissections has evolved during the past decade. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) continues to be the mainstay of endovascular dissection treatment and relies on the adequate sealing of the proximal entry tear. However, TEVAR alone often fails to achieve aortic remodeling due to persistent distal retrograde perfusion of the false lumen with contin

This study investigated the effects of organic concentration in wastewater on nutrient recovery in a 5-cell electrodialysis (ED) system with sacrificial magnesium (Mg) anode under different current densities and linear flow velocities. Municipal wastewaters without/with dosed alginate were used as feed solutions to simulate diverse organic concentrations. The results revealed that increasing organ

Synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymer microspheres using precipitation polymerization was first reported in 1999 in Lund. The synthetic approach attracted great interest for molecular imprinters worldwide due to its simplicity. Following the initial demonstration of feasibility for material synthesis, imprinted polymer microspheres were found to exhibit good colloidal stability qualifying for

ObjectivesStructural defects during fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR) can be difficult to identify only on two-dimensional imaging. This study aims to assess the potential additional value of routine intraoperative completion plain cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in identifying such defects during FEVAR.MethodsA retrospective review of all consecutive FEVARs performed at a tertia

Antibiotics are used to treat both humans and animals for both preventive and therapeutic purposes. The overreliance on and misuse of antibiotics has given rise to a stealth pandemic, known as antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Globally, they pose a significant threat to human, animal, and environmental health. Surveillance of antibiotic residues in the environment, especially in wastewater, for tack

Med bakgrund i FN generalförsamlings begäran om ett rådgivande yttrande från Internationella domstolen (ICJ) gällande staters ansvar i klimatfrågan, enligt resolution A/77/L.58, undersöker denna studie hur icke-statliga organisationer (NGO:er) framställer statligt ansvar för klimatrelaterade människorättskränkningar. Särskild vikt läggs vid rätten till liv samt rätten till ett rent, hälsosamt ochIn the light of UNs general assembly’s request for an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding state responsibility in the context of climate change, as outlined in resolution A/77/L.58, this study examines how non governmental organizations (NGOs) portray state responsibility for climate-related human rights violations. The analysis focuses on the right to life a

Sudan har sedan april 2023 präglats av ett brutalt inbördeskrig mellan Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) och Rapid Support Forces (RSF), vilket resulterat i en statlig kollaps och omfattande civil fördrivning. I detta sammanhang har konfliktrelaterat sexuellt våld (CRSV) blivit särskilt framträdande. Denna uppsats analyserar hur CRSV konstrueras i tre centrala internationella rapporter från FN:s högkommSince April 2023, Sudan has been engulfed in a brutal civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The conflict has triggered the collapse of state institutions and forced the displacement of millions. Amid this humanitarian crisis, conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) has emerged as a defining and deeply troubling feature. This thesis explores how CRSV

The theoretical background for the essay consists of Judith Butler's theories of performativity and queer theory as well as Claire Horisk's theory of dangerous jokes. The essay answers two questions formulated as

A constant decline in fish stocks have been observed globally for the better part of the last century. In Sweden, the consequence of this decline has been the 9000 year old trade of small-scale fishing slowly disappearing. The extinction of these local fisheries have consequences for not only the fishers themselves, but for their communities and surrounding environment. The responsible factors for

Syftet med uppsatsen “priset för säkerhet” har varit att undersöka hur remissinstanserna i förfarandet om säkerhetszonerna resonerar kring mänskliga rättigheter i sina remissvar för att få förståelse för vilka intressen de värdesätter. För att uppnå detta har en deskriptiv argumentationsanalys inspirerad av Arne Næss teknik pro et contra dicere genomförts på de remissvar som lämnades in för promemThe purpose of the thesis “The Price for Security” has been to examine how the referral bodies in the legislative process concerning security zones reason about human rights in the responses, in order to gain understanding of which interests they value. To achieve this, a descriptive analysis of arguments has been conducted based on the consultations responses submitted regarding the memorandum wi

Mot bakgrund av Finlands antagande av Lagen om temporära åtgärder för att bekämpa instrumentaliserad migration (2024), syftar denna uppsats till att undersöka hur säkerhetisering-relaterat språk kan användas för att legitimera lagen inom den finska politiska diskursen. Lagen presenterades som ett svar på Rysslands påstådda användning av migranter som ett verktyg i hybridpåverkan mot Finland. När mFinland’s adoption of the Act on Temporary Measures to Combat Instrumentalized Migration (2024:482) provides the background of this investigation. The legislation was introduced as a response to Russia’s alleged use of migrants as a tool of hybrid influence against Finland. When migration is reframed as a form of warfare, it risks reshaping both legislation and perceptions of asylum rights. How po

Denna uppsats undersöker hur fem icke-statliga organisationer (NGO) framställer händelserna kring Sea-Watch 3-fallet sommaren 2019. Räddningsfartyget hölls kvar till havs i över två veckor efter att ha undsatt migranter utanför Libyens kust, utan att någon stat erbjöd en säker hamn. Studien utgår från en kombination av två teoretiska ramverk: normmodellen och liminalitet. Normmodellen används för This thesis examines how five non govermental organisations (NGO) represent the events surrounding the Sea-Watch 3 case in the summer of 2019. The rescue vessel remained at sea for over two weeks after saving migrants off the coast of Libya, without any state offering a safe port of disembarkation. The study draws on a combination of two theoretical frameworks, the norm model and liminality. The n

Abstract 4-Alkenyl- and 4-acyloxazoles represent important substructures across a diverse array of bioactive molecules. Practical methods to synthesize these motifs are, therefore, of considerable interest. Here, we develop a novel domino process wherein a cycloisomerization is followed by a 1,2-rearrangement via an oxazolonium ion to yield 4-alkenyloxazoles from an abundant β-chloro-N-benzyl prop4-Alkenyl- and 4-acyloxazoles represent important substructures across a diverse array of bioactive molecules.
