This article presents a critical edition and analysis of a short 16th-century medical treatise entitled Fī bayān aḥwāl al-qaḥwa wa-ḫāṣṣiyyatihā wa-manāfiʿihā, attributed to the Ottoman court physician Muḥammad Badr al-Dīn al-Qūṣūnī. The base manuscript, preserved in Leiden University Libraries as Or. 945:16 (fol. 58r), is collated against two later versions: Ragıb Paşa, K. No. 1482, ff. 56 r–56 v,
Fruit flies and other miniscule flying insects often cause a nuisance in the kitchen areas of our dwellings. To mitigate the invasion of indoor insect pests, behavioral modifications using spatial repellents containing natural products are emerging as alternatives to chemical insecticides especially around the kitchens and food storage areas. However, the absence of standardized testing methods fo
In this paper, we investigate how the lockdown-induced exposure to remote work affected the likelihood of switching to longer commutes using a longitudinal full-population register of Swedish employees. We find that employees with little experience of longer commutes were more likely to start commuting longer if they had occupations with high potential for remote work. Examining heterogeneity acro
We demonstrate the first fully vertical single-fin AlGaN FinFETs (Al = 2.5%) on ammonothermal n+-GaN substrates, featuring a gate length of Lg = 200 nm and excellent gate control. This work presents a systematic study of the impact of fin orientation along the a- and m-crystallographic planes on the electrical performance of AlGaN vertical FinFETs. We report that threshold voltage is maximized at
The causal link between potentially traumatic events and obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) remains unclear due to reliance on retrospective self-reports and limited control for familial factors. Here, in this Swedish population-based cohort study, we identified 3,340,945 individuals born between 1975 and 2008 and prospectively examined the associations of objectively recorded assault/victimizati
This chapter, based on over a decade of socio-legal research, details how legal inequality in Myanmar was built over decades, through both statutory weakening of personal status law and bureaucratic hurdles regarding everyday implementation and practice. The practice of personal status laws of minority communities is also impacted by restricted access to Myanmar citizenship following the introduct
This thesis is the result of a case study which has its starting point in the fact that mergers and acquisitions are characterized by a high level of risk and often fail to reach stated goals such as leverage of synergy, many times due to the inability of integrating the concerned organization’s information systems. Existing problem perspectives do not include what could be a factor contributing t
This study examines China’s future energy trend by analyzing how the energy demand in China has changed and how it will change by looking at several domestic factors, such as structural and policy changes, as well as international factors that affect the country’s demand for energy. The sector-specific energy consumption trend in the near future is also discussed in order to show what the main dri
Reducing the risk exposure in investment portfolios is a constant topic in financial literature. This thesis aims to discuss and compare the risk level in portfolios of only Eastern or only Western European market indices by studying the correlation within each one of the portfolios. The correlation is estimated with two different methods: the traditional time-series and Solnik and Roulet’s (2000)
This thesis is written from a feminist perspective examining female asylum-seekers in international and Swedish refugee law. The question for this thesis is whether the refugee instruments are gender-sensitive and give women and men equal access to protection. The axiom of feminism is that women are subordinate to men in society and that this relationship has to be changed. The aim of feminism is
The Russian federation has experienced significant changes during the last century. Tsarist Russia, the Soviet Union and today's democratic Russia are three entirely different societies, with different economic and legal realities. The transition from planned economy to market economy, from communism to democracy has not been easy and has demanded significant changes in the legal system. Civil
Objective: To limit the research time by developing a theoretical model, that can predict the lifetime of a wheel with the help of different input values. Apart from a theoretical model, also create a different type of test rig that can decrease the testing time, and still produce an accurate result similar to a real situation. Method: This Master’s Thesis was based on both an investigatory method

The objective of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of constructing temporary warehouse halls using glulam (glued laminated timber) frames, as well as to explore alternative solutions to PVC fabric for roofing and walls. The background is an increasing demand for temporary and flexible ware- house structures across several industries, along with a growing interest in environmentally fr
Situated in the ambiguous position as agents of both care and control, train hosts find themselves constantly engaging in balancing acts related to their professional role as frontline workers. This dynamic is especially relevant in cross-border regions where train hosts arguably assume the role of unofficial border agents. This thesis explores the professional practices and personal dispositions
This paper aims to comprehensively examine the impact of global climate change, particularly how climate change and the natural disasters it triggers affect the insurance sector in Asia and Europe and the stock market performance of reinsurance companies in both Asia and Europe. Using an appropriate event study methodology, the study investigates the impact of two natural disasters in China and tw
The thesis analyses four public spaces in Riga and Tallinn which have undergone architectural and therefore semiotic transformation between 2004 and 2024. The analysis is guided by a theoretical framework which combines concepts of (transnational) memory studies and urban semiotics. Together, these emphasise a distinction between the memory of transnational space, the local place, and the material
Legal abuse is an underrecognized form of domestic violence and coercive control in the legal system, with laws recognizing its proliferation only recently being sparsely enacted. At the same time, the conversation about coercive control as a form of domestic violence has been rising both domestically and internationally. This exploratory, qualitative study endeavors to understand if that rising c
Under the global carbon neutrality agenda, emission reduction in China’s heavy-duty transport sector is becoming urgent, though the transition faces multiple barriers. Despite China’s leading position in new energy heavy-duty trucks, gaps remain at the strategic and policy levels. This thesis, based on the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) and Policy Challenge theory, uses policy content analysis, hot
