Emulsifiers can influence fat crystallization through multiple mechanisms: by promoting or in-hibiting nucleation, modifying polymorphic transitions, or enhancing oil-binding capacity. In collaboration with Palsgaard A/S, this thesis aimed to evaluate the functional impact of selected emulsifiers from their portfolio on the thermal and textural stability of fat-based biscuit cream fillings. The go
Uppsatsen behandlar det rättsliga läget i Sverige för användningen av AI-system vars syfte är att utföra ansiktsigenkänning. Polismyndighetens användning av tekniken står i centrum för analysen.

Amid an escalating climate crisis, Germany faces growing political polarisation and declining support for climate policy. The mobility transition has emerged as a symbolic and emotionally charged ‘cultural battleground’, where debates around fossil-fuel dependency are deeply entangled with identities and power structures. This study examines the role of hegemonic masculinities in shaping socio-pol

However, it is currently facing implementation challenges at national level, and this increasing crisis of the principle in some Member States has affected not only the fundamental rights recognised at EU level, even resulting in the b
Denna avhandling undersöker två centrala frågor rörande verksamhetsövergångar enligt svensk och EU:s arbetsrätt: (1) Vilket kollektivavtal och vilka delar av kollektivavtalet blir gällande för förvärvaren när ett företag, en verksamhet eller en del av en verksamhet övergår från överlåtaren till förvärvaren genom en sådan övergång som omfattas av 6 b § LAS; och (2) vilken betydelse har kollektivavtThis thesis examines two central questions concerning business transfers under Swedish and EU labour law: (1) which collective agreement, and which parts of it, become binding for the transferee when a business, undertaking, or part thereof is transferred in accordance with Section 6 b of the Swedish Employment Protection Act (LAS); and (2) what role the collective agreement plays in determining w
This thesis examines whether the Fama & French three-factor model (1993) provides a better explanation of Swedish stock returns than the traditional Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Using data from firms listed on Nasdaq Stockholm between 2016 and 2024, six portfolios were formed based on firm size and price-to-book ratio. Monthly returns were calculated and regressed against both the marke
Bakgrund: Sociala medieanvändandet på mobilen har ökat och blivit en naturlig del av vardagen.
