När High Court of Justice avkunnade dom i målet Bell v Tavistock konstaterade domstolen att barn under 16 års ålder som lider av könsdysfori högst troligen inte kan ge ett giltigt samtycke till pubertetsbromsande hormonbehandling eller könskonträr hormonbehandling. Världen fick då ta del av berättelsen om en ung flicka som genomgått identitetsbekräftande vård och sedan ångrat sitt beslut. Denna upWhen the High Court of Justice ruled in Bell v Tavistock that children under the age of 16 suffering from gender dysphoria most likely could not consent to being treated with puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones, the verdict told the story of a young girl who underwent gender-affirming treatment and later came to regret her decision. This essay studied the decision-making capacity of children an

Research on norm internalization and local ownership in peace processes has not often been combined in peace and conflict studies. This paper sets out to see on the one hand, to what degree liberal democratic norms has spread in Liberia since the ending of the civil war, and on the other hand, if the peace process, –characterized by hybridity – could explain the norm internalization process. Throu

In the ever evolving and ambiguous environment of VAT treatment of sales of shares, the underlying purpose test has arisen as a new form of controversy. While it seems to be a viable method for establishing in specific circumstances a strong enough direct and immediate link to guarantee deduction also for costs incurred in relation to an exempt or out-of-scope share disposal, the test’s nature and

This thesis aims to understand the implications of the People’s House in the village of Vanneberga, focusing on the years around its establishment in the early 20th century. Located in the southern Swedish province of Skåne, the house was founded in a rural area much dominated by the landed estate of Trolle-Ljungby. The building association that created the house comprised people from the area of

The thesis employs a number of tools originating from the field of Modern Portfolio Theory to assess the appropriate weight of Bitcoin in addition to several assets commonly found in the All-Weather Portfolio. Utilizing Sharpe Ratio optimization, the thesis compares two main portfolios to determine if the inclusion of Bitcoin can improve the performance and risk-return ratio of an optimized All We

Sustainability transition initiatives are crucial in tackling global sustainability challenges but evaluations of their impacts are to a large extent lacking. This is a problem as it leads to uncertainty of their actual contributions which is a hindrance for public and political support. Due to the complex nature of STIs it has proven very difficult to make comparable assessments as most studies e

Abstract In modern anti-money laundering operations, data analysis plays a vital role. One method of detecting fraudulent data is Benford’s law, which predicts the distribution of the first significant digits in logarithmically distributed data. Deviation from Benford’s law in data where it should be present might indicate manipulated data. We investigate the Chi2 and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests’ pr

This project is an examination on the relevance of the compositional principles used in the École des Beaux-Arts, mainly during its prime in the 19th century. The relevance of the principles will be tested through the design of an extension to the Helsingborg City Library. The work is divided into three sections. The first section is an examination on the École des Beaux-Arts. I will examine the a

Acoustic trapping in microfluidic devices has emerged over the last decades as a promising novel cell handling technique. The unique properties exhibited by fluids at the microscale offer many advantages compared to the conventional methods. Here we investigate how effective a multinodal acoustic trapping device is for several essential cell handling procedures such as cell enrichment and staining

This thesis aims to contribute to the understanding of the current knowledge status and potential uses and the diffusion of blockchain-based technologies within the digital advertising field. This research is built upon the theoretical frameworks provided by an adjusted Technology Acceptance Model 2 (TAM 2) and the Disruptive Innovation Theory. The findings of this study enlights marketers with d

The purpose of this study is to compare the different short-term interest rate models, and to identify the better model within multiple countries. We selected three different types of data from the United States, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand. We compare the models with the historical data within these three countries, and figure out whether different countries could have their own best mode

Statistical arbitrage is widely used in the quantitative based trading strategies. In this paper, we mainly use Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (O-U) process model and the GARCH model to estimate the parameters and verify trading signals for the statistical arbitrage. In addition, a new model is created through the combination of O-U model and GARCH model. To estimate the models, HuangXia Bank and Industrial B

Several problems concern about energy are frequently discussed in recent decades, such as the shortage of traditional energy resource, the increase of energy price and the destruction of living environment by energy conversion. To solve these problems, sustainable development of energy become a preferential task all around the world. Under current circumstances, applying energy saving measures and

In today’s society people are influenced by technological developments. Technology changed the consumer’s behavior, but also the way companies evolved over time. Nowadays, technology is accessible for everyone, which leads to fast changing environments with a lot of competition. There are limited studies that focus on teams of new ventures in comparison to the lone entrepreneur. However, there are

Menstruation is a normal body function and a sign of reproductive health. Although it is a fundamental human right for girls and women to have the ability to properly manage their menstruation, it is a long-neglected issue in low-income countries. Pilot studies have provided optimism for the menstrual cup’s potential to improve the quality of life for Ugandan girls and women. Several actors are in
