Medical, neurological, and substance use disorders constitute a major disease burden worldwide, but especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where more than 80% of affected persons are unable to receive evidence-supported treatments despite these being widely available in theory. This persistent mental health treatment gap in LMICs is traceable to the very nature of such nations: low

Wood used in outdoor construction is consistently subjected to wetting by precipitation. High levels of moisture content, especially if sustained over long periods, promote fungal decay and structural degradation. Predicting temporal variation of moisture content in wood exposed to rain is essential for durability assessment, and simple fit-for-purpose numerical approaches have been developed for

The taxation of the digital economy has become a relevant subject, as business models and value creation chains of all sectors have been transformed bringing challenges to the international tax system and parameters for the allocation of taxing rights between source and residence jurisdictions. In view of these changes, the European Commission has published two proposals for directives on the taxa

A second order expansion of the eigenvalues of a parameter perturbation of Hermitian matrices is derived using matrix decomposition methods. The method developed is then applied to give a novel proof of a second order approximation of the eigenvalues of a global perturbation of Hermitian matrices first described by M. Carlsson. The result generalizes an approximation given by G.W Stewart which tre

Why are certain categories of people more likely than others to regard climate change as ‘fake news’? This thesis aims to replicate and expand on two earlier articles from McCright and Dunlap (2011) and Krange et al. (2019) who show that conservative white men are more likely to be climate change deniers in the US and Norway, respectively. This phenomenon is called the cool dude-effect. Theories a

Köparens undersökningsplikt vid företagsöverlåtelser skiljer sig väsentligt från andra typer av förvärv. Köplagen (KöpL) är, trots vissa brister, den mest rimliga lagen att tillämpa för att hantera frågor i samband med företagsförvärv. Felbegreppet är svårtolkat när det gäller överlåtna aktier i ett förvärvat bolag men det mest centrala för själva undersökningsplikten är; säljarens handlande, främThe buyer’s obligation to scrutinize a corporate acquisition differs significantly from other types of acquisitions. The Swedish Sales of Goods Act (KöpL) is, despite certain shortcomings, the most reasonable law to deal with issues regarding corporate acquisitions. The concept of error is difficult to interpret when it comes to shares in an acquired company but the most crucial aspect regarding t

The essay is a comparative study between the Swedish regulation of spousal maintenance after divorce and the corresponding French regulation of prestation compensatoire which directly translates to provision of compensation. The regulations differ, particularly, because French law includes a ground for refusal related to the issue of fault in the divorce. To explain the difference, the significanc

Min rättsvetenskapliga uppsats behandlar den svenska bestämmelsen om utvidgat förverkande i 36 kap. 1 b § BrB. I händelse av att en gärningsperson begår ett av de i 36 kap. 1 b § BrB nämnda förverkandeutlösande brott, kan staten genom beviskravet klart mera sannolikt komma åt vinster från brottslig verksamhet som inte härrör från det förverkandeutlösande brottet i sig. Det finns ingen yttre tidsgr

The Svalbard Seed Vault serves as a backup against accidental loss of genetic crop diversity within the existing global conservation system. Addressing this objective, this thesis repeats the 2013 assessment of the Seed Vault’s completeness relative to the global conservation system as performed by Westengen et al (2013, 1). It is shown that gaps have continued to exist in Svalbard’s collection. S

The human immune system responds to a wide variety of pathogens and microorganisms to defend the body. Investigating the cell types and molecular markers of the immune system are critical for the understanding of diseases and finding treatments. Antigen presenting cells (APCs) are sentinels of the immune system that sample the surrounding environment and educate the components of the adaptive immu

Reglerna om rättskraft är mycket omdiskuterade i den civilprocessrättsliga doktrinen. Rättskraften är inte absolut, utan begränsas bland annat tidsmässigt av factum superveniens/facta supervenientia. Facta supervenientia är omständigheter som inte kunde åberopas i en första process och som utan hinder av den förra domens rättskraft får lov att åberopas i en ny process. Syftet med uppsatsen är att The rules on legal force are much debated in the doctrine of civil procedure law. The legal force is not absolute. The legal force is limited, among other things, in terms of time by factum superveniens/facta supervenientia. Facta supervenientia are circumstances that could not be referred to in a first pro-cess and which, without being hindered by the legal force of the previous judgement, are al

There is a need for more efficient measures to ensure responsible migration in host countries. Sports are recognised as a key measure to promote integration. This thesis’s purpose is to increase the understanding of the impacts football clubs have on integration for youth girls with foreign backgrounds in Stockholm, Sweden. This is done by exploring social relations’ role in integration and examin

This study focused on the experience of self-initiated Korean expatriated in Sweden. The purpose of this research was to examine and analyse the process of learning and adjustment to the new environment and specifically work-life balance. The theoretical framework was composed by cognitive adjustment theory and Berry’s acculturation model. The method that was used was qualitative research build on

This thesis aims to look into how some social workers in Sweden view their work with youths having sex for compensation with regards to the feminist ideas that the law on buying sex expresses. Swedish studies have shown that most of the youths having sex for compensation started when they were 13-14 years old. Previous literature and studies state that youths having sex for compensation often have

Smoked ham is commonly eaten in Sweden. However, smoked ham consists of a lot of salt (NaCl) which is an important component in the brine. Since a high salt consumption increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, it is of great interest to decrease salt and other sodium-binding compounds in various food products, especially in smoked ham. Nevertheless, this is a challenge because the salt and o

Mobile money is a digital financial innovation enabling electronic payments and transfers through mobile phones. It has proven to be a convenient, safe and cheap way for money exchange in developing countries where access to traditional banking services is limited. This thesis aims to explore why Small and Medium Enterprises in Zambia do not adopt mobile money in an otherwise well-developed region

This paper aims at investigating the determinants of female farmers access to Agrarian Extension Services in Ethiopia, where extension services represent a critical tool for the development of the agrarian sector. Despite the country’s efforts to develop a gender-responsive extension system, several bottlenecks are negatively driving down women’s access to these services. By reviewing previous

Dark matter has an important role in our Universe, especially in galaxy formation and evolution, but there are many theoretical models that attempt to describe it and to find out which one, if any, are correct we must test them. Testing a theoretical model of this nature at a galactic scale must and has been done using computational methods through simulations, but this has revealed more complicat

With fossil fuel-dependencies affecting energy generation, and renewables being contextually limited by intermittency and dispatchability issues, this work explores European Pressurized-water Reactors (EPRs) as a nuclear-based climate mitigation measure in France and in the EU. Through its conceptual framework, this paper evaluates the technical potential of EPRs through the gate-keeping effect of
