Electronic identity verification: personal data protection challenges and risks
2020
This work highlights the clash of GDPR, eIDAS Regulation and PSD2 Directive, as well as tackles challenges of implementation in practice, specifically the challenges of securing personal data whilst ensuring an electronic identity. A comparative analysis on practical case studies which are concerned with electronic identity verification, electronic identity establishment and use electronic identity verification in the process of providing services is carried out in order to understand how such businesses tackle personal data challenges, how successfully and to what manner. The work concludes with findings of legal uncertainty between all three regulatory acts, as they lack unified definitio…
Application of the Article 28 (3) of the General Data Protection Regulation in contemporary Software as a Service (“SaaS”) business.
2019
For the purposes of this thesis, regulatory requirements associated with the Data Processing Agreement (DPA) are subject to interpretation in the context of SaaS delivery models widely adopted by prominent SaaS providers. In addition, the author argues that, multiple parties processing personal data leads to problems in determining the correct processing role. Thereby, parties may struggle in meeting the requirements of Article 28 (3) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Failure to ensure that processing is covered by the proper DPA is regarded as an infringement of the GDPR. For that reason, the thesis seeks to stress out complications associated with structuring DPA’s and pro…
Challenges of free data flow between the EU and US: can EU-US privacy shield ensure co-operation?
2020
The following thesis aims to provide an insight into the way US and EU data protection regulations compare to each other and how those can harmonized in the future with an idea to make it easier to understand how cross-country business might operate in this environment and whether there could be any harmonization opportunities to provide less burden on businesses in trying to comply with different laws across Atlantics. The research question of the thesis therefore is “Is current framework for data transfers between EU-US relevant and stable for future challenges in data protection field?” and “If not, then how two legal systems can be better harmonized based on the analysis of both of them…
Data as an asset in an insolvency procedure
2021
When a business becomes insolvent, assets that has selling value prevails within the insolvency process. Understanding if personal data can be classified as an asset and whether it can be sold when facing insolvency proceedings is determined in this Thesis. General Data Protection Regulation safeguards personal data of the EU data subjects including processing of such data. This regulation protects the EU data subjects also outside of the EU or EEA. Processing that includes sale of personal data is made possible if full compliance with the Regulation is applied. Legal basis for such processing that is required for the processing to be legal includes legal obligation arising from insolvency.…

Synthetic Polyclonal-Derived CDR Peptides as an Innovative Strategy in Glaucoma Therapy
2019
The pathogenesis of glaucoma is strongly associated with the occurrence of autoimmune-mediated loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and additionally, recent evidence shows that specific antibody-derived signature peptides are significantly differentially expressed in sera of primary-open angle glaucoma patients (POAG) compared to healthy controls. Synthetically antibody-derived peptides can modulate various effector functions of the immune system and act as antimicrobial or antiviral molecules. In an ex vivo adolescent glaucoma model, this study, for the first time, demonstrates that polyclonal-derived complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) can significantly increase the survival rate …
Brothers in arms: proBDNF/BDNF and sAPPα/Aβ-signaling and their common interplay with ADAM10, TrkB, p75NTR, sortilin, and sorLA in the progression of…
2021
Abstract Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an important modulator for a variety of functions in the central nervous system (CNS). A wealth of evidence, such as reduced mRNA and protein level in the brain, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and blood samples of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients implicates a crucial role of BDNF in the progression of this disease. Especially, processing and subcellular localization of BDNF and its receptors TrkB and p75 are critical determinants for survival and death in neuronal cells. Similarly, the amyloid precursor protein (APP), a key player in Alzheimer’s disease, and its cleavage fragments sAPPα and Aβ are known for their respective roles in neuropro…
The Arabidopsis heavy metal P-type ATPase HMA5 interacts with metallochaperones and functions in copper detoxification of roots
2005
*† ‡ § Summary Since copper (Cu) is essential in key physiological oxidation reactions, organisms have developed strategies for handling Cu while avoiding its potentially toxic effects. Among the tools that have evolved to cope with Cu is a network of Cu homeostasis factors such as Cu-transporting P-type ATPases that play a key role in transmembrane Cu transport. In this work we present the functional characterization of an Arabidopsis Cutransporting P-type ATPase, denoted heavy metal ATPase 5 (HMA5), and its interaction with Arabidopsis metallochaperones. HMA5 is primarily expressed in roots, and is strongly and specifically induced by Cu in whole plants. We have identified and characteriz…
Corrosion and wear resistance of coatings produced on AZ31 Mg alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation in silicate-based K2TiF6 containing solution: Ef…
2022
Abstract In this research, plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings were prepared on AZ31 Mg alloy in a silicate-based solution containing K2TiF6 using bipolar and soft sparking waveforms with 10, 20, and 30% cathodic duty cycles. The coatings displayed a net-like surface morphology consisted of irregular micro-pores, micro-cracks, fused oxide particles, and a sintered structure. Due to the incorporation of TiO2 colloidal particles and the cathodic pulse repair effect, most of the micro-pores were sealed. Long-term corrosion performance of the coatings was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy during immersion in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution up to 14 days. The coating grown by t…
Mobile Phone Data Statistics as Proxy Indicator for Regional Economic Activity Assessment
2019
The mobile data analysis is an authoritative source of information for problems solving in the fields of human activity recognition, population dynamics, tourism, transport planning, traffics measuring, public administration and other activities and could be the source for valuable information as a proxy indicator. One of the obstacles to user data from mobile operators is compliance to the General Data Protection Regulation, so the development of data analytics approach that protects personal data without a necessity to identify mobility of particular persons was developed, that still provides economically relevant data. In the present research, the method for the economic activity assessm…
