Nationella domstolars skyldighet att inhämta förhandsavgörande från EU-domstolen har under lång tid varit föremål för kritik. Kritiken har främst bestått i att det vid en strikt tolkning av EU-domstolens domskäl i princip är omöjligt att hantera förhandsavgörandefrågan unionskonformt. Under december 2022 beslutade den svenska Högsta domstolen att riva upp ett lagakraftvunnet avgörande med hänvisniThe obligation of national courts to request preliminary rulings from the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has long been criticized, mainly on the grounds that a strict interpretation of the ECJ's case law makes it practically impossible to manage the question of preliminary rulings in a manner compatible with EU law. In December of 2022, the Swedish Supreme Court decided to overturn a final ju

With increasing environmental awareness, building materials and their impact on the environment are increasingly coming into focus. This study presents a framework for comparing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) through A1 - A5 stages from the perspective of Global Warming Potential (GWP) to assess the climate change potential of three facade systems of different building types (villas, medium-sized bui

The aim of this thesis is to examine the difference in expression of affective polarization in opinion pieces between traditional media and new media. Specifically through studying articles and posts made by elite actors as through parliament commissioners in the Swedish parliament. This is studied through the political field of immigration as it is a central field in the political dimension of cu

This paper examines the relationship between female representation on corporate boards and financial performance in Swedish publicly listed companies from 2015 to 2023, excluding the year 2018. This study explores whether a higher proportion of women on boards of directors correlates with improved financial outcomes, measured by Tobin's Q. The empirical strategy employs both pooled Ordinary Le

Addition of a 50 mM mixture of l-arginine and l-glutamic acid (RE) is extensively used to improve protein solubility and stability, although the origin of the effect is not well understood. We present Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) results showing that RE induces protein compaction by collapsing flexible loops on the protein core. This is suggested to be a

As indicated in several earlier chapters in this anthology, traffic safety data are of many different types and studied in a large number of different activities. Many professional studies make use of already existing data, such as accident data records from police, insurance companies and hospitals, as well as statistical data derived from such databases. Other data are collected for specific pur

Food is a major concern in popular culture and in literary studies at present and there are numerous novels, movies, and TV-shows that focus on food and its various functions – literary, cultural, and social. Food, which is a highly politicised subject, is one way in which cultural translation takes place as it is used to create an understanding of cultural transfer processes and their implication

In this study critical load functions and target load functions of nitrogen and sulphur deposition with respect to acidity and minimum base cation to aluminium ratio were calculated with the SAFE model using three different averaging strategies: (1) averaging based on current forest generation, (2) averaging based on next generation and (3) averaging based on the entire simulation period. From the

Weathering rates are of considerable importance in estimating the acidification sensitivity and recovery capacity of soil and are thus important in the assessment of the sustainability of forestry in a time of changing climate and growing demands for forestry products. In this study, we modelled rates of weathering in mineral soil at two forested sites in southern Sweden included in a monitoring n

Deep metabarcoding offers an efficient and reproducible approach to biodiversity monitoring, but noisy data and incomplete reference databases challenge accurate diversity estimation and taxonomic annotation. Here, we introduce a novel algorithm, NEEAT, for removing spurious operational taxonomic units (OTUs) originating from nuclear-embedded mitochondrial DNA sequences (NUMTs) or sequencing error

Gamma-ray observations of the astrophysical neutrino sources are fundamentally important for understanding the underlying neutrino production mechanism. We investigate the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) ability to detect the very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray counterparts to the neutrino-emitting Active Galaxies. The CTA performance under different configurations and array layouts is computed based

Layered lithium-rich transition metal oxides are promising cathode candidates for high-energy-density lithium batteries due to the redox contributions from transition metal cations and oxygen anions. However, their practical application is hindered by gradual capacity fading and voltage decay. Although oxygen loss and phase transformation are recognized as primary factors, the structural deteriora

Many types of microneedle (MN) arrays have been tested for delivery of vaccines to the skin. However, the effect of MN geometry/array design on antibody production is still unclear. Reports suggest that systemic immune responses may be affected by how MN arrays “mechanically” deliver vaccines, which can induce cell damage and act as an adjuvant. This includes parameters such as MN length/insertion

Background: Chronic breathlessness adversely impacts people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and their caregivers (family and friends), who may, in turn, experience significant burden due to their caregiving role. Sustained-release morphine may reduce chronic breathlessness in some patients, which may have an impact on caregivers’ perceived burden. Aim: To explore the impact on caregiver

This paper revisits the glazed redware Scanian jug, brought to the fore by Kulturen archaeologist Anders W. Mårtensson in 1973. Characterized by its faceted base and distinct handle, the jug stands out from its contemporaries. This brief paper presents new chemical data for the Scanian jug, its most common rim forms and a discussion on its area of production. So far, no medieval ceramic production

Stopover duration and fat accumulation were studied during autumn migration at two sites near Ottenby, Oland, SE Sweden in 1985 and 1986. Post juvenile moult was scored on juvenile birds. In several of the species fat class and body mass increased with day of season (thrush nightingale Luscinia luscinia, barred warbler Sylvia nisoria, and whitethroat S. communis), while in the lesser whitethroat S
