Large-scale restoration projects are being increasingly used to address land degradation and global climate change. While these initiatives are promising, an overemphasis on tree planting may contribute to ecological degradation and carbon loss. This thesis critically examines the AFR100 initiative in southern Africa through literature analysis and expert interviews. By integrating perspectives fr
Den här uppsatsen undersöker den svenska implementeringen av andelsbytesmekanismen för privatpersoner, som återfinns i artikel 8 i Fusions-Direktivet, hädanefter FD. Uppsatsen undersöker även hur Sverige har valt att skydda sin beskattningsrätt när aktieägaren emigrerar till en annan EU MS medan hen äger aktier erhållna via ett andelsbyte. Syftet bakom undersökningen är att utreda huruvida om den This thesis examines the Swedish implementation of the exchange of shares mechanism for individuals, found in article 8 of the Tax Merger Directive, henceforth TMD, and how Sweden has chosen to safeguard its taxation right when the shareholder holding exchanged shares emigrates to another EU MS. The purpose behind this is to examine if the Swedish im-plementation, given the more recent case-law fr
Title: ”Others don’t have a clue about what it’s like for those who are different” A study about growing up with a mentally retarded sibling. Authors: Irén Palm och Liselotte Christensen Purpose: The purpose of the essay is to enlighten what it can be like growing up with a mentally retarded sibling. We want to know the kind of support a sibling needs to get from its family, surroundings and pro

Pritam Kumarsingh A Case Study to develop and test GIS/SDSS methods to assess the production capacity of a Cocoa Site in Trinidad and Tobago Trinidad and Tobago has achieved world-wide affirmation for its unique fine and flavour cocoa (Theobroma cacao). This classification of cocoa commands price premiums on the global market. However, the industry has declined over years. Investors and farmers
Background: To determine if an alternating regimen of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors imatinib and regorafenib improved outcomes in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Methods: ALTGIST (NCT02365441) was a randomized phase II study of standard treatment of imatinib (Arm A) compared with an experimental alternating regimen of imatinib and regorafenib (Arm B). Primary outcome was b
A search for neutral long-lived particles (LLPs) decaying in the ATLAS hadronic calorimeter using 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV delivered by the LHC is presented. The analysis is composed of three channels. The first targets pair-produced LLPs, where at least one LLP is produced with sufficiently low boost that its decay products can be resolved as separate jets. The second an
Biological neural network functionality depends on the vast number of connections between nodes, which can be challenging to implement artificially. One radical solution is to replace physical wiring with broadcasting of signals between the artificial neurons. We explore an implementation of this concept by light emitting/receiving III-V semiconductor nanowire neurons in a quasi-2D waveguide. They
Context. Globular clusters exhibit star-to-star chemical variations that are traceable through both photometric and spectroscopic data. While UV photometry and light-elements such as Na and O are commonly used for this purpose, the optical V versus (V-I) color magnitude diagram (CMD) is often assumed to be relatively unaffected by such inhomogeneities and is used to derive basic cluster parameters
Barn och unga lever i en värld där de riskerar att möta svårigheter som kan påverka deras hälsa och utveckling negativt. Interventioner för att stärka barns motståndskraft behövs för att skydda mot negativa konsekvenser rotade i utmaningar under uppväxten. Traumamedveten omsorg (TMO) är en psykoedukativ intervention, som ges till vuxna i barnets närmiljö. Tidigare forskning har undersökt TMO utifrIn today’s society, children and adolescents face adversities that can impair their mental health and psychological development. Interventions that aim to strengthen children’s resilience are crucial in order to protect children from detrimental outcomes. Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) is a psychoeducational intervention, which is administered to adults in children’s environments. Previous research ha
Forskningsfrågor: Hur använder sig Svenska Spel och Betsson AB av CSR och finns det någon skillnad i CSR-arbetet mellan ett privatägt och statligt ägt spelbolag? Leder företagens CSR-arbete till ökad lojalitet bland kunder och ökad legitimitet för företagen? Syfte: Undersöka hur Svenska Spel och Betsson AB använder CSR i sitt arbete, samt om detta bidrar till ökad lojalitet bland kunder och ökad Research questions: How do Svenska Spel and Betsson AB utilize CSR, and is there any difference in CSR practices between privately-owned and state-owned gambling companies? Does the companies' CSR efforts lead to increased customer loyalty and enhanced legitimacy for the companies? Purpose: To investigate how Svenska Spel and Betsson AB utilize CSR, and whether this contributes to increased c
Replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind, is crucial to mitigating climate change. The ambitious federal targets on offshore wind set by the United States’s (US) Biden Administration will, however, increasingly impact the 129 million citizens living within local communities in coastal regions. Achieving social acceptance is therefore critical to reaching the US’
Detta arbete behandlar beskattningstidpunkten för derivatinstrument som säkrar skulder i utländsk valuta, enligt svensk rätt. Detta är intressant eftersom svenska företag i en globaliserad ekonomi exponeras mot valutarisker. Det råder dock osäkerheter om när säkringsderivatet ska beskattas. Uppsatsen analyserar därför hur den rättsliga regleringen i IL påverkar beskattningstidpunkten av värdeföränThis thesis examines the timing of taxation of derivatives hedging foreign-currency liabilities under Swedish law. The issue is interesting given the currency risk exposure of Swedish enterprises in a globalized economy, yet uncertainty persists as to when hedging derivatives are recognized as taxable income. The study analyses how the Swedish income tax law governs the recognition of value change
This study explores how Thai women in Sweden, working in the massage and wellness sector and members of the ThaiWISE initiative, navigate social stigma and negotiates their identities in the context of migration. Drawing on five semi-structured interviews, the study examines how these women manage the persistent association between Thai femininity and sex work, despite working in safe and regulate
This study presents a mineralogical, textural and structural assessment of the Cambrian Faludden Sandstone Member (Borgholm Formation) and Lower Silurian mudstone (unspecified formation), for their potential use as reservoir and caprock, respectively, for deep carbon storage in the Swedish sector of the Baltic Sea subsurface. The study was performed on two drillcores from the island of Gotland, No
Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are complex biological products that present specific scientific and regulatory challenges during clinical development. This thesis aimed to analyse consolidated Part I considerations raised during assessment of investigational ATMP clinical trial applications (CTAs) under the Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR) to identify recurring scientific and regulato
