The aim of the paper is to (re-)evaluate the treatment of reduplicative expressions as compound words in nearly all previous work on English. Examples of reduplicative expressions are listed, out of context, and they are labelled as compound words, without providing proper motivations as to why it makes sense to treat them as compounds, in the sense of lexical items that are formed of other lexicaThe aim of the paper is to (re-)evaluate the treatment of reduplicative expressions as compound words in nearly all previous work on English.

In previous years, substantial research has focused on walkability, primarily examining how the built environment affects walking behavior. However, these studies have predominantly defined walkability through physical and social factors, with limited exploration of its spatial dimension. This article seeks to address this gap by examining the spatiality of walkability through Lefebvre’s spatial tIn previous years, substantial research has focused on walkability, primarily examining how the built environment affects walking behavior.

Background: Apnea of prematurity is a common problem in preterm infants that may have significant consequences on their development. Methylxanthines (aminophylline, theophylline, and caffeine) are effective in the treatment of apnea of prematurity. Doxapram is used as a respiratory stimulant in cases refractory to the methylxanthine treatment. Objectives: To evaluate the benefits and harms of doxa

The COVID-19 crisis intensified decade-long debates on the interaction between intellectual property rights (IPRs), competition law and access to affordable life-saving treatments and vaccines. Compulsory licensing of patented medicines is a tried-and-tested method to expand access, particularly in a situation of “national emergency or other circumstances of extreme urgency” within the meaning of

Abstract In this study we present new palaeointensity measurements on Iron Age (200 AD – 1840 AD) pottery from the southern Africa region, where there is only limited data available at present. Many sites only produce a single accepted palaeointensity result and we have therefore opted to focus on analysis at sample level as opposed to site level, which is more common in traditional archaeomagneti

We observe that, while predicting returns remain difficult and uncertain, volatility exhibit more persistence and predictability due to well-known patterns such as volatility clustering (Mandelbrot, 1967). We test whether short-horizon volatility forecasts can be used to time leverage in a passive index strategy so as to mitigate the growth penalty from volatility drag in leveraged exchange-traded

Swedish parents today raise their children in a welfare state, where childcare is both accessible and affordable, and often within dual-income households. At the same time, they have witnessed a challenged welfare state affected by cutbacks, privatizations, and the demands of an increasingly flexible working life.

This study examines how public transport passengers experience and use travel time and under what conditions they are particularly concerned about shorter travel time. Using a survey of Swedish public transport users and a follow-up focus group, we compare current patterns with a similar 2009 study. Findings indicate a slight decline in perceived value of travel time, coinciding with a marked redu

In the last decade, the idea of total defence – a whole-of-society approach integrating civilian and military capabilities – has gained renewed prominence in Europe, including within the European Union (EU). Concurrently, the concept of strategic autonomy – the EU’s ability to act independently – has emerged as a central feature in its security policy, driving ambitions for ‘a quantum leap forward

Den nya AI-boomen sänker kraftigt kostnaden för att bygga mjukvara, snabbar på imitationen och intensifierar konkurrensen inom Software as a Service (SaaS), vilket pressar betalningsviljan mot noll. Denna studie ställer två frågor: (1) vilka affärsmodellsinnovationer och utmaningar kännetecknar monetarisering av gratis digitala tjänster, och (2) hur kan dessa insikter tillämpas på ScanThisWine, etThe new AI-boom dramatically lowers the cost of building software, accelerates imitation, and intensifies competition in Software as a Service (SaaS), pushing willingness to pay towards zero. This study asks two questions: (1) which business model innovations and challenges characterise the monetisation of free digital services, and (2) how can these insights apply to ScanThisWine, a free e-label

Visselblåsning innebär att en person slår larm om missförhållanden inom en verksamhet. I svensk rätt regleras skyddet för visselblåsare i lagen (2021:890) om skydd för personer som rapporterar om missförhållanden. Lagen innehåller en särskild regel om bevisbörda som medför en bevislättnad för visselblåsaren. Uppsatsen undersöker (i) vilket skydd som tillhandahålls i visselblåsarlagen och på vilketWhistleblowing refers to situations in which an individual raises the alarm about wrongdoing within an organisation. In Swedish law, the protection af-forded to whistleblowers is regulated by the Whistleblower Protection Act (2021:890). The Act contains a specific rule on the burden of proof that pro-vides a lighter burden of proof for the whistleblower. This thesis examines (i) the scope of the p

Real estate transactions are characterised by significant economic values and an extensive regulatory framework, in which the strict formal requirements of the Swedish Land Code aim to ensure legal certainty and careful deliberation. At the same time, contract negotiations under Swedish law are, as a general rule, conducted at the parties’ own risk, meaning that costs and dispositions undertaken p

Den 1 juli 2018 ändrades våldtäktsbrottet i Sverige, så att det inte längre krävdes att den tilltalade använt våld, hot eller utnyttjande för att få målsä-gande att delta i samlaget. I stället drogs gränsen för våldtäkt vid att delta-gandet inte varit frivilligt. Frivillighet är i detta sammanhang inte samma sak som målsägandens vilja. I stället handlar det om hur offret har visat den tilltalade vOn the 1st of July 2018, the Swedish rape law changed. To be classified as rape, it was no longer necessary that the sex was the result of violence, threat or abuse by the perpetrator. Instead, it was considered rape if a per-son performed a sexual act on someone who did not engage voluntarily. It is, however, important to note, that engaging voluntarily, does not mean the same as wanting to have

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka det strukturella problem som uppstår i säkerhetsrådet när rådet hamnar i en rättslig återvändsgränd på grund av ett veto. Uppsatsen utgår från diskussioner kring soft laws påverkan samt användning inom folkrätten och huruvida det kan vara ett användbart instrument för att kringgå sådana rättsliga återvändsgränder. FN-stadgan konstruerades på ett sätt som möjThis essay aims to examine the structural problem that arises in the Security Council when the Council finds itself in a legal impasse due to a veto. The essay is based on discussions on the impact and use of soft law in international law and whether it can be a useful instrument to circumvent such legal impasses. The UN Charter was constructed in a way that allowed for this structural problem bec

Denna uppsats har haft som syfte att behandla frågorna om AI-genererade verk kan omfattas av upphovsrättsligt skydd enligt gällande svensk rätt, var gränsen för mänsklig medverkan i AI-skapade verk kan dras samt om upp-hovsrätten bör utvecklas för att möta denna tekniska utveckling. Utgångs-punkten har varit 1 kap. 1 § i upphovsrättslagen och det EU-harmoniserade originalitetskravet, enligt vilketThis thesis examines whether AI-generated works can be covered by copy-right protection under current Swedish law, where the limit for human partici-pation in AI-generated works should be drawn, and whether copyright law should be developed to meet this advancement. The basis of the thesis has been Chapter 1, Section 1 of the Swedish Copyright Act (Upphovsrättslagen) and the EU-harmonized original
