Popular Abstract in English Every year globally, an estimated 1.7 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer, while over half a million are killed by this disease. The principal cause of death is metastasis, which is the spreading of the cancer cells from the breast to other vital organs like the brain, liver or lungs, resulting in organ failure and subsequently death. Even though the past decMetastasis is a complex process that remains a major challenge in the clinical management of cancer, because most cancer-related deaths are attributed to disseminated disease rather than the primary tumor. Despite the significant advances in the prediction of prognosis, and therapeutic management of primary breast cancers, coupled with the substantial improvement in our understanding of the molecu

I internets digitala tidsålder är mer information och material tillgängligt för fler personer än någonsin tidigare. Detta innebär nya möjligheter för produktion av kreativt material, men det kommer också med stora svårigheter när det gäller verkställighet av upphovsrätt. Som lösning på detta har EU antagit direktivet om upphovsrätt på den digitala inre marknaden (DSM-direktivet). I praktiken kräveIn the digital age of the internet, more content is available to more people than ever before. While this provides an unprecedented opportunity for people to produce creative material for entertainment, it also comes with great difficulties regarding enforcement of copyright. In a response to this, the EU has adopted the Digital Single Market Directive (DSM Directive). In practice, the Directive r

I slutet av 2019 presenterade Kommissionen meddelandet om den gröna given – EU:s nya tillväxtstrategi för att nå klimatneutralitet 2050. Den nya strategin fick till följd att Kommissionen tog initiativ till en revision av TEN-E. Ett av TEN-E:s syften är att underlätta genomförandet av PCI vilka antas enligt särskilda urvalskriterier i artikel 4 TEN-E. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda hur dessa urvalIn 2019, the European commission presented the Green Deal - the EU's new growth strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The new strategy led the Commission to initiate a review of the legislation regarding TEN-E. One of the purposes of TEN-E is to adopt PCI projects. The purpose of the essay is to examine how these selection criteria may change due to the Green Deal by addressing two

Det kommersiella värdet av personuppgifter och behandling av dessa är av stort värde för aktörer i den digitala ekonomin. Den ökade insamlingen och behandlingen av personuppgifter utgör risker och utmaningar, inte bara för att skydda EU: s medborgares integritet och personuppgifter, men också för den fria konkurrensen på den inre marknaden. Nya aktörer kan behöva ha tillgång till personuppgifter fThe commercial value of personal data and the processing of these is of great value for players in the digital economy. The increased collection and processing of personal data poses risks and challenges not only to the protection of EU citizens’ privacy and personal data, but also to the competitive environment on the internal market. New entrants may need access to personal data in order to comp

Konflikten i den Syriska Arabiska Republiken började för mer än tio år sedan och ingen lösning är i sikte. Konflikten anses vara den mest dokumenterade konflikten någonsin. Trots att konflikten har pågått under en lång tid saknas det straffrättsligt ansvar för de begångna brotten. Det har gjorts försök, att genom användandet av international straffrätt hänvisa konflikten till den Internationella BThe conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic is ongoing since more than ten years, and there is no end in sight. The conflict is deemed to be the most documented conflict of all time. Despite the longevity of the conflict, there has been a lack of criminal accountability for the crimes committed. The international community has through the use of international criminal law attempted to refer the confl

In this paper we propose minimal solvers for relative pose estimation for two views of the projected silhouettes of two 3D cylinders. Using such line features instead of the standard point feature correspondences means more stable information (i.e. more stable to lighting condition, seasons, changes in environment etc.). Such features also lead to more compact and semantically interpretable repres

Based on fieldwork in a sensory science laboratory in Sweden, this paper brings the social aspects of conducting an analytical sensory panel together with consumers’ understandings of the everyday consumption context and existing practices. As part of an interdisciplinary project investigating seaweed as a new food in a Swedish context, this paper explores how seaweed as a new resource is made edi

We present novel approaches involving generative adversarial networks and diffusion models in order to synthesize high-quality, live, and spoof fingerprint images while preserving features such as uniqueness and diversity. We generate live fingerprints from noise with a variety of methods, and we use image translation techniques to translate live fingerprint images to spoof. To generate different

Industrial symbiosis is a collaborative approach that aims to enhance resource efficiency and sustainability by facilitating exchanges between industries and other societal actors. Traditionally, industrial symbiosis focused on optimizing physical resource flows, such as excess energy, waste materials, and by-products. However, over time, the concept has expanded to also include, for example, coll

Popular Abstract in Swedish Eftersom gamla träd har blivit mycket ovanligare de senaste 200 åren, både i skogslandskapet och på ängs- och hagmarker, har djur som lever i gamla träd blivit mycket sällsyntare och många arter är utrotningshotade. I gamla ekar bildas ofta mulm i stammarnas håligheter. Mulmen består av murket trämjöl och i den lever en rik och specialiserad fauna som framför allt utgörMany species associated with old trees are threatened, as this habitat has decreased severely in Europe during the last 200 years. In old oaks, hollows with wood mould often form in the trunks and these harbour a specialized fauna mainly consisting of beetles, flies and pseudoscorpions. This thesis contains the first quantitative examination of the habitat requirements and population ecology of sp

Popular Abstract in English In the age where there is a great demand of energy, raise in the prices of fossil fuels and increase of environmental concerns because of the greenhouse gas emissions, biogas production through anaerobic digestion, of different organic materials, provides a full or partial solution. There is a large number of cheap substrates as organic waste materials that can be utiliThe anaerobic digestion process results in the production of biogas from a large diversity of organic residues, which can be used as an alternate source of energy generation and for waste management. However, the biogas production technology is not exploited efficiently due to the characteristics of raw materials, poor methane yields, process instability, limited raw materials and lack of knowledg

The WHO has ranked environmental hazardous exposures in the living and working environment among the top risk factors for chronic disease mortality. Worldwide, about 40 million people die each year from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) including cancer, diabetes, and chronic cardiovascular, neurological and lung diseases. The exposure to ambient pollution in the living and working environment is ex

The purpose of the paper is to investigate both the Swedish position and the position of ECJ regarding Swedish CFC-legislation towards third countries. It will be investigated if the Swedish position is compatible with ECJ's interpretation of the fundamental freedoms and Sweden's international obligations regarding tax treaties.
