The state of the environment and human’s impact on the environment has been widely acknowledged and discussed over the past years. The EU realized there was a need for environmental regulations and laws in 1972 and in 1993 the environment became an official part of their politics. The aim of this paper has been to find out whether it is possible to both increase trade and at the same time decrease

According to most studies, the global democratic backsliding that started in 2006 cannot be linked to changes in the people's support for democracy. Instead, it is commonly asserted that political cultures around the world are heading in a more democratic direction. I challenge this claim. With combined data from the World Values Survey, the European Values Study, and Varieties of Democracy, I

The unnecessary and disproportionate use of pre-trial detention is a global issue that affects developed and developing countries alike. According to World Prison Brief, Cambodia has ranked 12th (among 217 countries) making it become a country with one of the highest percentages of pre-trial detainees: 71.8 percent to be exact. The excessive and unnecessary use of pre-trial detention in the Kingdo

Plenty of research has been made on strategic asset allocation, but the focus on foreign market exposure is sparse. This paper analyzes how the investor’s portfolio choice is affected when exposed to four foreign assets, one domestic asset, and the risk free interest rate. Two models are developed using dynamic programming for an investor with iso-elastic utility and lognormal asset returns. The p

A new trade agreement, the African Continental Free Trade Area, was signed in 2018 and will unite the African nations into one trade union. The agreement seeks to integrate the African markets in several ways, with two objectives being to reduce tariffs with 90 percent and improve the level of trade facilitation within the continent. This paper investigates whether tariffs or trade procedures repr

Då Sverige har gått från ett industrisamhälle till ett kunskapssamhälle, har även behovet av ett starkare skydd för näringsidkaren uppstått. Dagens kunskapssamhälle har medfört att kunskap och kompetens fått en allt viktigare betydelse i företagens verksamhet. Det har skett en förskjutning från kunskap bunden i realkapital och maskiner till kunskap bunden till personer och personal. De anställda fAs Sweden has gone from an industrial society to a knowledge based society, the need for an increased protection for the employer has developed. In this knowledge based society, the importance of knowledge and skills has increased in enterprises. There has been a shift from knowledge bound in real capital and machinery to knowledge attached to people and employees. The employees are getting more a

Adipic acid (AA) has been a valuable industry chemical over the last century, whose production process carbon footprint resides far away from today’s environment-friendly ideals. Therefore, a biological approach for adipic acid production under mild conditions has been studied in this thesis. Wild-type strains of Gluconobacter oxydans have been cultivated to obtain resting cells that were used for

A high informality incidence, measured as the share of informal employment out of total employment, is a common characteristic of most developing countries’ economies. In Mexico, where informal employment accounts for the majority of labour activity, this is argued to be a consequence of its unique social policy. The introduction of the social protection program for health in 2002, Seguro Popular,

Glyceryl monooleate (GMO) and other unsaturated long-chain monoglycerides show peculiar phase behaviour characterised by the presence of one or more cubic liquid-crystalline phases. In the present study, hydrolysis of cubic lipid-water phases formed by GMO were determined. Human pancreatic carboxyl ester lipase (CEL), colipase-dependent lipase with colipase, human duodenal contents and rat pancrea

BACKGROUND: Multiple medicine use among elderly persons is likely to be the result of treatment regimens developed over a long period of time. By learning more about how multiple medication use develops, the quality of prescribing may be improved across the adult lifespan. OBJECTIVE: To describe patterns of multiple medicine use in the general Swedish population and its association with sociodemog

In comparison to other insects, like honeybees, bumblebees are very effective pollinators. Even though landing is a crucial part of pollination, little is known about how bumblebees orchestrate the final, critical moments of landing. Here, we use high-speed recordings to capture the fine details of the landing behaviour of free-flying bumblebees (Bombus terrestris), while landing on a flat platfor

Neural interfaces hold great promise to become invaluable clinical and diagnostic tools in the near future. However, the biocompatibility and the long-term stability of the implanted interfaces are far from optimized. There are several factors that need to be addressed and standardized when improving the long-term success of an implanted electrode. We have chosen to focus on three key factors when

This essay is written in collaboration with the Environment Department in Malmö. The essay is a study in how the recycling of waste caused by visitors at major public events works. These events last for a shorter period of time and usually attract large numbers of visitors, thus large amounts of waste are produced during this short period. Previous investigations show that only a few major events

Background: Parents face mental health challenges following their child's cancer diagnosis. However, it is unknown whether parental mental illness following a childhood cancer diagnosis influences the child's mortality.Patients and methods: Using several nationwide registers in Sweden, we identified children diagnosed with cancer between ages 0 to 14 from 2005 to 2016. Parental mental illness was

Strenuous physical activity can negatively affect constitutive innate immune function (CIF), the always present first line of defence against pathogens. CIF is non-specific, and thus vital when encountering novel pathogens. A lowered CIF likely increases the risk of infection and disease. Migratory birds engage in truly extreme physical activity during their endurance flights, however, little is k

AbstractThe overall aim of this thesis was threefold; first, to explore resources associated with work-life balance (WLB), with a focus on the work and private lives of human service employees. Second, to develop a workplace health promotion (WHP) intervention with a WLB focus. Third, to explore the participants’ experiences of the developed WHP intervention done in the workplace. A mixed method a
