In cancer cells, when two different genes are rearranged and joined, a fusion gene results and can act as a tumour driver. While many programs to predict fusion transcripts based on RNA-sequencing data do exist, the predictions contain many false positives without underlying genomic rearrangements. With the release of a new fusion validation pipeline to address this shortcoming, we have created a

Background: In the Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial (MBTST), digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) increased the detection rate of breast cancer compared to currently used digital mammography (DM). This study evaluated the cost effectiveness of DBT versus DM in Sweden using data from MBTST. Materials and method: A health economic model was used to compare a breast cancer screening programme

In recent years, the European Union (EU) has tackled the issue of free and fair competition in digital markets by enacting a regulatory framework within a specific legislation called “The Digital Markets Act” (DMA). This recently adopted regulation lays out rules and obligations binding on digital “gatekeepers”, that is undertakings operating on digital markets that provide “core platform services

The current, seemingly uninhibited, growth of AI technologies presents one of the most critical modern day quandaries. The magnitude of its potential to develop, necessitates a deeper look into the legal implications associated which this technology. This thesis aims to describe and analyse the obligations of complete data sets in Article 10 AIA and its relationship with article 5(c) GDPR, using t

With the rapid development of Digital Rights Management (DRM), Technological Protection Measures (TPM) and Rights Management Information (RMI) as components of DRM have become essential tools for safeguarding copyright. The WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) were the first international agreements to establish protections for TPM and RMI. Subsequentl

The development of the European Union’s (EU) sustainability legislation has significantly influenced its external trade policy, especially through the Trade and Sustainable Development (TSD) chapters in Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). The enforceability of these chapters has evolved from a cooperative, dialogue-based model to one that increasingly allows sanctions and legal consequences. This thesis

With Artificial Intelligence (AI) relying heavily on vast datasets, including publicly available personal online data and increasing amounts of fines for data breaches the individuals demand for control over personal data increases. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the efficacy of the GDPR in granting data subjects control over their personal data when they are used to train AI. Therefore,

The widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) across energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics is accelerating, yet the safety challenges associated with thermal runaway (TR) events remain incompletely understood. This report presents a structured review of current knowledge regarding flammable and toxic gas emissions from LIBs during TR, the consequences for fiThe widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) across energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics is accelerating, yet the safety challenges associated with thermal runaway (TR) events remain incompletely understood. This report presents a structured review of current knowledge regarding flammable and toxic gas emissions from LIBs during TR, the consequences for fi

This thesis examines the legal constraints imposed by EU and EEA law on the design and implementation of sector-specific resource taxation, using the aquaculture regimes of Iceland and Norway as reference models. Focusing on direct taxation, the analysis assesses compatibility with internal market freedoms and the State aid prohibition under Articles 28, 49, 63, and 107 TFEU and their EEA counterp

On 15 April 2025, the Conseil d’État (French Supreme Tax Court), for the first time, referred preliminary questions to the CJEU to determine whether the Marks & Spencer exception can apply within the French tax consolidation regime. This unprecedented referral follows years of internal divergences over the scope of a case law principle that is both central and controversial: the right, under c

This thesis examines the differing tax treatment of carried interest in Europe, focusing on Germany, the United Kingdom, and Sweden. Carried interest is a special profit-sharing mechanism commonly used in private equity funds, whereby the executives are awarded a capital disproportional share of the profits. Due to its dual nature, blending elements of both capital gains and service compensation,

This paper addresses the critical gap in understanding the justice implications of renewable energy transitions, particularly concerning the agency of different actor groups, including marginalised and local communities. Given the urgency of transitioning to renewables to mitigate climate risks, it highlights the need for more human centric approaches to ensure equitable outcomes. In this context,

This paper examines how organisational boundaries shape the relationship between collaboration and research performance in universities. Using meso-level co-authorship networks and matched registry data from 83 German universities between 2006 and 2019, this study advances the understanding of how organisational structures condition collaborative knowledge production and its research performance o

Fire safety design for complex buildings often relies on the Performance-based Design approach which assesses the margin of safety by comparing Available Safe Egress Time with Required Safe Egress Time. However, most current modelling tools often operate independently or at most with one-way coupling. This potentially reduces the accuracy of fire safety assessments by failing to capture dynamic in

The article contributes to the research of platformisation of everyday life and children’s television use by exploring how 0-3-year-olds’ television viewing on screen media is embedded in daily social practices of families in Sweden. The article examines the research questions: 1) What social practices are organised around young children’s television viewing on screen media? 2) How can these telev

The modern food industry faces the challenge of catering to diverse consumer preferences while maintaining efficiency and profitability. Rapid shifts in consumer trends, emerging technologies, and evolving regulations make it difficult for companies to keep pace, often resulting in inefficiencies and lost opportunities. The vast amount of data generated across production, supply chains, and market

Critical debates on research and knowledge security commonly evoke the concept of ‘securitization’ when highlighting dangers to scientific openness in a context of increased attention to national security, but often fail to recognize the multifaceted nature of critical approaches to security. Drawing on a broad literature in Critical Security Studies (CSS) and turning to current debates on researc
