This thesis examines legal tensions arising from the interaction between OECD/G20 IF Administrative Guidance and the Pillar Two Directive within the EU legal order. While the Pillar Two Directive remains locked into version of OECD/G20 IF Pillar Two rules as they stood in 2022, the OECD/G20 IF continues to develop its Pillar Two framework through subsequent Administrative Guidance.

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has a big impact on the national agricultural sector in the EU member states, but the policy can be contentious due to the economic, social and environmental challenges it faces. This essay is testing the hypothesis that these three divisions creates three frameworks under which a divergence in the environmental values can be perceived and comprehended. The cho
This paper examines the Swedish right-wing party Christian Democrats' (Kristdemokraterna) view on privacy, as expressed in the well known and vibrant FRA-debate.

The gradual normalization of double‐thinking over the centuries has given rise to social and political patterns of behavior and institutional arrangements which osc
Introduction: Regional and global brain volumes are of great interest in many different research projects, not least in Alzheimer’s research. The purpose of this project is to optimize the MPRAGE sequence for automatic and repeatable segmentation of human brain tissue. The volume is calculated for the whole brain, white matter (WM), grey matter (GM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Materials and met

Popular Abstract in English The potential of coconut proteins as food ingredients was studied with the aim of evaluating how plant proteins, in particular those from coconut, could find industrial applications and compete with proteins of animal origin based on meat, fish, milk or eggs. Three research directions were chosen for investigation, to evaluate how coconut proteins would perform in each At present, coconut proteins are discarded as a waste product by the coconut oil industry. If the range of applications of coconut proteins is to be expanded, their potential functionalities should be investigated. Emulsions and gels are of the greatest interest in food industry. Today the dry processing of copra at elevated temperatures is used to optimize the oil recovery. The functionalities o

Research shows that aid in many cases is given with a political strategy. Since aid is financed by taxpayers, we find it interesting and relevant to further investigate the political motives behind Swedish aid and if the focus of Swedish aid has differed across time and elected governments. The aim is to empirically investigate the role of the character of the recipient countries and the role of t
To cope with population growth and urbanization cities turn to urban densification. Simultaneously, children are expected to be an increasingly important target group in the implementation of densification strategies. The demographic development has had a particularly large impact on the age structure in the municipalities around bigger cities where there is a large proportion of children. In this

Europe’s transition towards a net-zero emission economy and society, needs to be designed in a fair and equitable manner. Despite the urgency for action, the term Just Transition has increasingly been turned into a catchphrase that is diffi-cult to grasp. In the EU’s multilevel governance structure, municipalities as im-plementers of EU policies play a crucial role in the transformation process. T
MODELING LAND-COVER USING BIO-CLIMATE VARIABLES Vegetation (land-cover) is an inherent part of the climate system (M.-J. Gaillard et al. 2010). Natural, primarily climate-driven, vegetation and ecosystem processes interact with human land-use to determine vegetation patterns, stand structure and their development through time (e.g. Vitousek et al., 1997). The resulting land surface properties feed
