The thesis explores the interaction between patent rights for Standard Essential Patents(SEP) and competition law, particularly Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union(TFEU), within the context of the European Union(EU) , and compares this interaction with the relevant provisions in the proposed EU SEP regulation COM(2023)232. Three research questions will be discussed:
The steel industry is one of the most polluting industries globally. There exists an EU waste shipment proposal that aims to restrict the EU export of waste in order to raise safe, environmental standards and circularity within the EU. Under this proposal, steel scrap is defined as waste and since the EU is the largest exporter of steel scrap globally, this has implications for the EU steel indust
Knitting is a craft that has existed for many years giving it a rich history. The popularity of knitting has never been steady and has risen and fallen throughout the years, albeit now readily associated with older generations. It is safe to say that knitting is currently going through a revival in Denmark, especially young women have picked it up, seemingly taking the popularity of knitting to ne
Audio description (AD) serves as a vital means to make visual media accessible to non-sighted and visually impaired audiences. This study systematically investigates the impact of narrative specificity and voice quality on imageability and comprehension in both sighted and non-sighted populations. Twenty non-sighted participants, including congenitally blind individuals and those who lost their siAudio description (AD) serves as a vital means to make visual media accessible to non-sighted and visually impaired audiences.

Objectives Study the proportion of patients affected by involuntary childlessness who are denied fertility treatment and the reasons behind this in a publicly funded healthcare system. Design Survey study using prospectively collected information by healthcare professionals. Setting Two university-affiliated fertility clinics in Sweden. Participants Single women and couples in heterosexual and hom
Introduction: Digital options for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment are increasingly available with high patient satisfaction and acceptability. Little is, however, known about physical therapists’ (PT) perception of this treatment modality. Objective: To investigate PT’s experience of delivering digital treatment for hip and knee OA using a smart-phone application. Method: Nine PTs (mean age 36 years
Aim To present a systematic literature review (SLR) on efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of vaccination in adult patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD), aiming to provide a basis for updating the EULAR evidence-based recommendations. Methods An SLR was performed according to the standard operating procedures for EULAR-endorsed recommendations. Outcome was determined by
Background: Predicting future Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-related cognitive decline among individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an important task for healthcare. Structural brain imaging as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could potentially contribute when making such predictions. It is unclear if the predictive performance of MRI can be
This study builds on analyses of everyday professional practices to explore de-bordering and re-bordering processes in the field of gender-based violence (GBV). The concepts of de-bordering and re-bordering practices express the tensions arising from the conflictual roles taken on by civil society actors (CSAs) in their double vest of service delivery for the state and advocate for migrant women w
Mexico City’s water system is not sustainable. There is an unfair inequality gap in the quantity and quality of water access for its residents. Moreover, the groundwater aquifers in the city are being over-exploited and polluted. This has resulted in the sinking of the city, damage to the ecosystems, and the reduction of water access to Mexico City’s residents. As the policies are a direct instrum
Soil as a fundamental, conditionally renewable natural resource is increasingly under threat from unsustainable farming practices in a changing environment. In Hungary, expansive areas of land are susceptible to soil degradation, while only a small percentage of farmers currently applies soil conservation practices (SCPs). Degraded soils have an impact on food production, climate adaptation, clima
Objectives: Romania joined to European Union (EU) in 2007. Consequently, the number of EU citizens of Roma descent increased in Sweden as the movement of freedom was granted. This study attempts to understand the conceptualisation and reason for underreporting hate crimes in Malmö, Sweden. Methods: Qualitative data collection methods of semi-structured interview and participant observation were e
Background: Bilberries from Sweden, rich in polyphenols, have shown cholesterol-lowering effects in small studies, and the cholesterol-lowering properties of oats, with abundant beta-glucans and potentially bioactive phytochemicals, are well established. Both may provide cardiometabolic benefits following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but large studies of adequate statistical power and approp
BackgroundHigh quality primary care is expected to be the basis of many health care systems. Expectations on primary care are rising as societies age and the burden of chronic disease grows. To stimulate adherence to guidelines and quality improvement, audit and feedback to professionals is often used, but the effects vary. Even with carefully designed audit and feedback practices, barriers relate
BackgroundAdvanced Trauma Life Support® (ATLS®) is the most widely adopted form of trauma life support training worldwide, but there is no high-quality evidence that it can improve patient outcomes. The aim of this trial is to compare the effects of ATLS® training with standard care on outcomes in adult trauma patients.MethodsADVANCE TRAUMA is a batched stepped-wedge cluster randomised controlled
Many extensions of the Standard Model, including those with dark matter particles, propose new mediator particles that decay into hadrons. This paper presents a search for such low mass narrow resonances decaying into hadrons using 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data recorded with the ATLAS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The resonances are searched for in the invariant mass sp
Despite substantial progress in Remote Sensing (RS)-based estimation of Water Quality Parameters (WQPs) using Machine Learning (ML) models, there remains a lack of end-to-end software that automates the entire workflow. To address this gap, this paper introduces WQEye (v1), an open-source software offering a user-friendly interface comprising six modular components: (1) Data loader; (2) RS samplin
Technological developments now make it possible to employ many markers for many individuals in a phylogeographic setting, even for taxa with large and complex genomes such as salamanders. The banded newt (genus Ommatotriton) from the Near East has been proposed to contain three species (O. nesterovi, O. ophryticus and O. vittatus) with unclear phylogenetic relationships, apparently limited intersp
