Women’s access to essential medicines is restricted by intersecting barriers such as economic dependence, reproductive health stigma, information gaps, and pharmaceutical R&D priorities that overlook their needs. Access to medicines is simultaneously shaped by international intellectual property law, particularly patent protection under the TRIPS Agreement, which has been criticised for restri
Vid köp av en bostadsrätt erhåller köparen en nyttjanderätt till en lägenhet eller ett småhus. I samband med förvärvet blir köparen medlem i bostadsrättsföreningen, men förvärvar inte äganderätten till den enskilda lägenheten eller småhuset. Bostadsrättsmedlemmar är exponerade mot en dubbel finansiell risk. Utöver egna bolån bär hushållet en indirekt skuldbörda via bostadsrättsföreningens lån, varWhen purchasing a tenant-owner flat in Sweden, the buyer acquires a right of use rather than direct ownership of the property. The association collectively holds the mortgage, exposing members to a dual financial risk, their own mortgage as well as an indirect debt burden through the association's loans, reflected in monthly fees. The capital structure decision, whether debt is held collective
Despite generous welfare and family policies, Sweden has a sizeable positive socioeconomic gradient in fertility; those with higher incomes have more children than those with lower incomes. While this positive socioeconomic gradient in fertility is not a new phenomenon in Sweden, a similar shift towards a positive fertility gradient is more recently seen in other high-income countries as well. Amo
Detta arbete undersöker hur den snabba utvecklingen av artificiell intelligens, med särskilt fokus på genererade bilder, påverkar bevisvärderingen och utred-ningsansvaret i svenska brottmål. Med utgångspunkt i principerna om fri be-visföring och fri bevisvärdering i 35 kap. 1 § rättegångsbalken analyseras hur domstolarna hanterar, eller bör hantera, invändningar från den tilltalade om att digital This thesis examines how the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, with a specific focus on generated imagery, impacts evidence and the duty to inve-stigate within Swedish criminal procedure. Grounded in the principles of free admissibility of evidence and the free evaluation of evidence under Chapter 35, Section 1 of the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure, the study analyzes how courts ev
Abstract – Introduction: Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) is associated with substantial impairment and high healthcare use, particularly among patients with chronic symptoms, psychiatric comorbidity, and poor response to standard interventions. Intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) is a promising emotion-focused approach, but evidence in treatment-resistant SSD remains limited. Methods
This thesis examines how Swedish legal and administrative frameworks governing LKAB’s mining operations have historically produced and reproduced the invisibility of Sámi land use, and how these patterns of exclusion continue to be mobilized within contemporary green transition justifications. Drawing on settler colonial theory and anopticism, the study argues that Sámi exclusion within Swedish re
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 produced one of the largest displacement movements in contemporary Europe, with millions of Ukrainians seeking protection across the European Union. While migration from Ukraine has often been understood through the lenses of safety, protection, and humanitarian need, wartime mobility can also become morally charged. Decisions to leave, stay
The 15-minute city concept has gained prominence in urban planning as a framework linking proximity, mobility, and quality of life at the intra-urban scale. An open question is whether this concept remains meaningful when applied to spatially connected urban regions or national urban systems. To address this issue, the new X-minute city concept allows proximity thresholds to vary with spatial cont
Continuous non-invasive monitoring of respiratory rate in laboratory mice can support research across drug efficacy, sleep, and stress and pain assessment. Established respiratory rate estimation methods exist but many conflict with the 3Rs principle through invasiveness, motion restriction, or animal stress. A cross-method comparison between two non-invasive systems on the same freely-moving anim
This study examines how school libraries at upper secondary school in Sweden work to promote reading motivation among students, and how Swedish language teachers and students make use of the school library as a resource. The study is conducted against the backdrop of declining voluntary reading among young people, as documented in international surveys such as PISA, and the forthcoming legislative
The Indonesian Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) market ranks among the world’s largest consumer markets, with one of the highest annual growth rates worldwide, and a consumer base of more than 200 million. Despite its size and potential, the market is notoriously challenging to navigate, as it contains a unique combination of strong local traditions, Islamic religious practices, and price sensiti
This study examines how consumers make sense of AI-generated fashion advertising and how this shapes brand-consumer relationships. Using a qualitative and interpretive approach, this study draws on twelve semi-structured interviews with students at Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM). The analysis is informed by Consumer–Brand Relationship theory (Fournier, 1998), Social Pre
This thesis examines whether the institutional monetary policy regime influences corporate risk-taking by comparing publicly listed firms operating under the European Central Bank (ECB) with firms in European countries that retain monetary sovereignty. While previous literature has established that monetary policy affects corporate investment and risk-taking through changes in financing conditions
“Tin-oxo cage” organometallic compounds are considered as photoresists for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photolithography. To gain insight into their electronic structure and reactivity to ionizing radiation, we trapped bare gas-phase n-butyltin-oxo cage dications [(BuSn)12O14(OH)6]2+ in an ion trap and investigated their fragmentation upon soft X-ray photoabsorption by means of mass spectrometry. In
Oral biofilms, comprising hundreds of bacteria and other microorganisms on oral mucosal and dental surfaces, play a central role in oral health and disease dynamics. Streptococcus oralis, a key constituent of these biofilms, contributes significantly to the formation of which, serving as an early colonizer and microcolony scaffold. The interaction between S. oralis and the orally predominant mucin
Thyroid cancer (TC) is substantially more common in women than in men, pointing to a possible role of sex steroid hormones. We investigated the association between circulating sex steroid hormones, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and the risk of differentiated TC in men and women within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and nutrition (EPIC) cohort. During follow-up, we identif
The introduction of atomic layer deposition (ALD), to the microelectronics industry has introduced a large number of new possible materials able to be deposited in layers with atomic thickness control. One such material is the high-κ oxide HfO2; thermally stable and ultrathin HfO2 films deposited by ALD are a significant contender to replace SiO2 as the gate oxide in capacitor applications. We pre
