In the European Union’s (EU) Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), free allocation of emissions allowances to avoid carbon leakage has resulted in a distorted pricing signal and a failure to reduce emissions in the most polluting industries. A Border Carbon Adjustment (BCA), a mechanism which would apply a tariff to imported goods based on their embedded carbon content, has been suggested as a solution.

Vid ingrepp och undersökningar som kräver generell anestesi utförs endotrakeal intubation för att säkerställa patientens luftväg och ventilation. För en lyckad endotrakeal intubation krävs ett antal faktorer och bland dessa ingår en korrekt uppläggning och positionering av patienten för optimal visualisering av larynx. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att belysa aktuellt forskningsläge i avseende att opti

This thesis studies how Mary Shelley and Meredith Ann Pierce criticise Western patriarchal societies through the depiction of the creation of artificial life. The thesis discusses how Shelley and Pierce’s critique consequently includes a critique of Humanism, since the school of thought had a pivotal role in the formation of the civilizational model of these Western societies. Steeped in anthropoc

Bostadssituationen i Sverige har under de senaste åren utvecklats i en oroande riktning. Den rådande bostadsbristen påverkar alla samhällsgrupper men de som drabbas hårdast är de som redan står längst ifrån bostadsmarknaden. De senaste årens ökning av den strukturella hemlösheten i Sverige har även ökat arbetsbelastningen hos den redan överbelastade socialtjänsten när hushåll som egentligen inte hThe current housing shortage affects all social classes but those most affected are the ones already furthest away from the housing market. The homelessness caused by structural factors has increased in Sweden during the last couple of years. It has led to an increased workload for the Social Services. Today, there is no unambiguous definition of social housing connected to the legal framework in

Sverige präglas idag av en låg nyproduktion av bostäder trots att det finns en ökande och stark efterfrågan. Bostadsmarknaden domineras till stor del av ett fåtal större kommersiella byggherrar och de producerade bostäderna är tämligen homogena. Boverket konstaterar att det krävs nya sätt för att möta en ökande efterfrågan på variation från konsumenter på bostadsmarknaden. Under senare år har ettThe housing market in Sweden is characterized by a relatively low production of housing even though there is a great demand for it. The housing market is dominated by a few large commercial building companies and their products are quite homogeneous. The Swedish National Board of Housing (Boverket) has confirmed that new strategies are needed to address the increasing public demand for variation i

Inom byggbranschen ställs det högre och högre krav och fler mål sätts upp för att förbättra miljö- och hållbarhetsarbetet, detta då branschen idag står för en stor del av Sveriges miljöpåverkan. Den främsta anledningen till dess höga belastning på miljön är det genererade avfallet som branschen idag står för ca en tredjedel av det genererade avfallet i landet. En observation som gjorts är att mängHigher demands are being placed and more goals are set up to help improve the environmental and sustainability work in the construction industry. This in order to help minimize the impact on the environment from one of the industries with the highest impact in Sweden today. The main reason for the high strain on the environment is the generated waste, which the construction industry stands for abo

En av grundvalarna, på vilken den Europeiska unionen vilar, är att företag har rätt att etablera sig fritt över gränserna inom EU. Denna fördragsreglerade utgångspunkt innebär inte bara att direkta hinder mot etableringsfriheten i regel ska undvikas utan även att nationella regler, som indirekt får till följd att etableringsfriheten inskränks, måste viktas mot de överordnade EU-reglerna. I en seriOne of the core objectives of the European Union is the freedom to establish and provide services. This core objective does not only impede direct obstacles as regards the establishment and provision of services but also, indirect infringements of said right; i.e. the national rules in the member states must be weighted in comparison to the, in some instances, superior EU-law. In a series of case

Dynamic capabilities enable firms to systematically modify their resource base and build competitive advantage. As dynamic capabilities literature is diverging in definition and scope, this research work analyzes conceptual literature on dynamic capabilities regarding commonalities, differences, and development over time.

The global corporate landscape is changing, making way for a new type of organisational structure emphasising less traditional stakeholder values, particularly non-financial values regarding social and environmental concerns.

Bakgrund: Den högteknologiska miljön på en intensivvårdsavdelning (IVA) kan upplevas som obehaglig och skrämmande. En del patienter får påfrestande minnen som kan kvarstå i upp till fem år efter vårdtillfället. Att uppleva påfrestande minnen orsakar lidande samt innebär en försämrad livskvalitet för patienten. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva vilka påfrestande minnen som är mest förekommande hos pa

This comparative thesis investigates in what ways municipal detailed planning of three train station areas considered perceived safety. It further examines how strengths and weaknesses in each case’s perceived safety methodology can be understood through established planning models/concepts and existing academic research on Swedish perceived safety planning. Finally, the study concludes how future
