This article explores the theoretical origins of modern Russian anti-and decolonial discourse. It has been demonstrated that the roots of Soviet anti-colonial policy are to be found in discussions about the interpretation of the right of nations to self-determination that began among the left at the end of the 19th century. The Leninist interpretation of this concept determined the Bolshevik polic
Improving the catalytic performance in the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin oils to produce liquid fuels, while meeting industrial requirements, is important for addressing current environmental challenges. In the present study, the promoting effects of noble metals (Pd, Pt, and Ir) on the performance of the Ni–Mo/CeLa/Al2O3 catalyst were investigated in the HDO of a lignin-derived pyrolysis oil
Lignin, often considered the most undervalued part of lignocellulose, holds significant potential as a renewable source of valuable chemicals and materials. This study explores new insights into lignin recovery from Norway spruce using two fractionation strategies: (1) hydrotropic extraction (HEX), and (2) steam pretreatment (SE) followed by HEX. The effects of varying sodium xylenesulfonate (SXS)
Catalytic activity is improved by reducing particle size, followed by atomic scale structural and chemical design, allowing physical and electronic confinement of chemical conversion centers. These concepts culminate in single-atom catalysts (SACs) where active precious metal atoms are isolated and anchored on the surface of supports and thus fully utilized for chemical conversion. In contrast, me
This poster explores sustainable water treatment using membrane technologies from a joint South Africa–Sweden perspective. While membrane processes such as MF, UF, NF, RO, and MBRs play a critical role in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6, their adoption remains uneven due to high capital and operational costs. In South Africa, membrane use is still rare, with only a few MBR installations a
Theories of predictive processing postulate that the brain continuously generates predictions about future linguistic input. Many different linguistic elements have been found to function as predictive cues. One such element is classifiers, i.e., morphemes that classify noun referents according to some semantic property. However, very few studies have so far investigated the predictive function of
Electrodialysis (ED) is a membrane-based separation process that exploits the selective migration of ions under the influence of an electrical driving force. It removes ionized species from liquid solutions using alternating cation- and anion-exchange membranes, arranged between two electrodes. When a direct current is applied, cations move toward the cathode and pass through cation exchange membr
Artificiell intelligens har under de senaste åren fått en allt större betydelse inom hälso- och sjukvården. En framväxande tillämpning är AI-verktyg för journalföring, som automatiserar delar av det administrativa arbetet genom att omvandla tal till text, strukturera anteckningar och i vissa fall föreslå diagnoser eller remisser. Verktygen kan effektivisera vårdpersonalens arbete, men väcker samtiIn recent years, artificial intelligence has gained increasing importance within the healthcare sector. One emerging application is AI medical scribes, which automate parts of administrative work by converting speech to text, structuring clinical notes, and in some cases suggesting diagnoses or referrals. These tools have the potential to improve the efficiency of healthcare professionals, but at
Specifikationsprincipen har under många år varit föremål för diskussion i doktrin och rättspraxis på upphovsrättens område. Principen, som gäller för tolkning av avtal om överlåtelse eller upplåtelse av upphovsrätt, kan definieras som att inget mer av upphovsrätten än vad som uttryckligen anges i avtalsvillkoren ska omfattas av avtalet och att oklara eller omfattande rättighetsöverlåtelser ska tolThe specification principle has for many years been a subject of discussion in legal doctrine and case law regarding copyright. The principle, which applies to the interpretation of contracts concerning the transfer or licensing of copyright, can be defined as meaning that no more of the copyright than what is expressly stated in the contract shall be covered by the agreement, and that unclear or
Inom ramarna för den övergripande debatten om hållbar utveckling har det aktiebolagsrättsliga vinstsyftet kommit att ifrågasättas. Kritiker menar att det i lag presumerade vinstkravet riskerar medföra att bolag eftersätter hållbarhets-arbete till förmån för vinstmaximering. Denna risk har uppmärksammats i den engelska lagstiftningen, som i och med ikraftträdandet av Companies Act 2006 föreskriver Within the framework of the overall debate on sustainable development, the profit motive under company law has been called into question. Critics argue that the profit requirement presumed by law risks leading companies to ne-glect sustainability work in favour of profit maximisation. This risk has been recognised in English legislation, which, with the entry into force of the Com-panies Act 2006,
Den svenska försäkringsrättsliga regleringen syftar i stor utsträckning till att skydda svagare avtalsparter och säkerställa att försäkrade får det skydd som de betalar för. Det kan emellertid vara svårt för en försäkringstagare att veta vad som krävs för att denne ska kunna ta sin försäkring i anspråk. Enligt 8 kap. 19 § FAL ska en försäkringstagare – som är näringsidkare – anmäla att försäkringsThe Swedish regulation of insurance law is largely intended to protect weaker contracting parties and to ensure that insured persons receive the protection for which they pay. It may, however, be difficult for a policyholder to know what is required in order to invoke the insurance cover. Pursuant to Chapter 8, Section 19 of the Insurance Contracts Act (FAL), a poli-cyholder who is a business oper
I denna uppsats undersöks hur EU-arbetsrättens olika arbetstagarbegrepp definieras, vilken räckvidd de har samt hur dessa begrepp kan komma att utvecklas i framtiden. Arbetstagarbegreppen i både primärrätten och sekundärrätten undersöks. Undersökningen genomförs med den rättsdogmatiska metoden och den EU-rättsliga metoden. Artikel 45 FEUF var den första bestämmelsen med ett arbetstagarbegrepp i This thesis examines how the various concepts of ‘worker’ in EU labour law are defined, what their scopes are, and how these concepts may change in the future. The concepts of ‘worker’ in both primary and secondary law are examined. The examination is carried out using the legal dogmatic method and the EU legal method. Article 45 TFEU was the first regulation in the EU to contain a concept of ‘wo
Bakgrund: Trots omfattande reformer inom psykiatrin och ambitioner om att erbjuda stöd i vardagen, visar forskning att ensamhet, brist på meningsfulla aktiviteter och att begränsad självständighet fortfarande är ett vanligt inslag i vardagen på socialpsykiatriska boenden Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur personal som arbetar på ett socialpsykiatriboende beskriver ett idealiskt bBackground: Despite extensive reforms in psychiatry and ambitions to provide support in daily life, loneliness, lack of meaningful activities, and limited independence are common features of everyday life in social psychiatric housing. Aim: To investigate how staff working in social psychiatric housing describe an ideal residence that promotes activity and participation. Method: The study was cond
Den här uppsatsen fokuserar på folksånger från Epirus som handlar om xenitia. Ordet xenitia innebär exil eller migration till en främmande plats och det främmandeskap som upplevs på den nya platsen. Epirus är en geografisk region i västra Grekland och anses vara födelseplatsen för folksången. Epirus var förslavad under det osmanska riket i över fyrahundra år och invånarna i regionen tvingades ofta
Today, youth crime is a topic that recurs daily in the news and politics; the subject arouses motions both within the professional community and among private individuals. The purpose of this study was to shed light on how social workers reason and work with young people aged 15 and above who are in criminal environments. We also shed light on how motivation can contribute to young people acceptin
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with reduced cardiac output, which is correlated with increased symptomatic burden and declined quality of life. Predicting haemodynamic effects of AF remains challenging because of the complex interplay of multiple contributing mechanisms. Computational modelling offers a valuable tool for simulating haemodynamics. However, existing models are lacking the ca
The textile industry generates vast wastewater containing synthetic dyes and polymeric additives like poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which pose serious environmental challenges. Conventional treatment methods struggle to remove these contaminants while enabling resource recovery. PVA, widely used as a textile sizing agent, increases treatment complexity, while reactive dyes like Reactive Yellow 145 ar
