Energy-intensive processing industries (EPIs) such as iron and steel, aluminum, chemicals, cement, glass, and paper and pulp are responsible for a large share of global greenhouse gas emissions. To meet 2050 emission targets, a transition to low carbon, often radical innovations is required, but this process is going slow. Insights from sociotechnical and innovation systems perspectives are therefEnergy-intensive processing industries (EPIs) such as iron and steel, aluminum, chemicals, cement, glass, and paper and pulp are responsible for a large share of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Pro-poor public spending is an important tool used for promoting development and poverty reduction. Yet, it has been hard to find evidence that public spending actually translates into desired outcomes. Public financial management (PFM) systems have been pointed out as one vital factor affecting public spending efficiency, but this has yet not been confirmed in any empirical research. By using new
The European Security Strategy adopted by the European Council in 2003 states that forging strategic partnerships with key actors is a priority in EU foreign policy. In 2007 such a strategic partnership was established with Brazil, based on shared fundamental values and principles such as democracy, rule of law, promotion of human rights and basic freedoms and a market-based economy. Both partners
This essay provides an analysis of the relation between entrepreneurship, taxes and institutions. Based on endogenous growth theory, the entrepreneur, as a provider of innovations, is expected to have an essential impact on economic growth. For the modern welfare state this raises the question on how to optimally tax entrepreneurial activity in order to minimize distortion effects, while stimulati
Price stability has become an increasingly important target of policy makers. However, the debate on the effects of inflation and economic growth is by no means settled. It is generally agreed that inflation uncertainty harms growth, however, a common challenge in inflation-growth studies lies in the difficulty to separate the effects of inflation rates from inflation volatility. Using inflation r
Bacterial proteins that bind to the Fc part of IgG have found widespread use in immunology. A similar protein suitable for the isolation and detection of human IgA has not been described. Here, we show that a 50-residue synthetic peptide, designated streptococcal IgA-binding peptide (Sap) and derived from a streptococcal M protein, can be used for single-step affinity purification of human IgA. Hi
This paper aims to critically review scientific purports by neoclassical economics, in particular when it comes to international development politics. Strive for global unified economies conceptualized through the convergence theorem and its extensional implementation through Washington consensus is the main goal of liberal ideology.

This study aims to highlight the discursive structures present in Sweden's integration policy document.

This essay investigates Swedish labour law concerning the rules of priority and their relation to the parts of labour market. The study focuses on the requirements that both parts have to take in consideration regarding dismissals upon redundancy. From an employer’s point of view it is obligations according to the law, but also the privileges that a position of an employer provides. In relation to
Collaboration between academia and society has become a key priority for many higher education institutions (HEIs). In Sweden, this is partly driven by political calls to secure the long-term provision of knowledge, innovation and competitiveness. At the system and institutional level, responses to this are reflected in governance structures and strategic documents. However, those strategic respon
