It has been suggested that an intensified trade war between China and the US could reduce CO2 emissions associated with exports. We develop an export-greenfield-endogenous merger model, showing that significantly increased tariffs can enable domestic firms to undertake entry-deterring acquisitions. This forces foreign firms to remain exporters, which, in turn, leads to higher emissions. Strong com
In this paper, we investigate how the lockdown-induced exposure to remote work affected the likelihood of switching to longer commutes using a longitudinal full-population register of Swedish employees. We find that employees with little experience of longer commutes were more likely to start commuting longer if they had occupations with high potential for remote work. Examining heterogeneity acro
This paper presents a decision-analytic approach for evaluating risk reduction actions for structural systems under climate change. A decision-theoretic formulation is developed to quantify the value of actions, extended to address climate change scenario uncertainties. Scenario occurrence probabilities are derived from probabilistic effective radiative forcing exceedances to link climate model pr
Death is the prerequisite of life, life the prerequisite of death, just like chaos and order, light and shadow, joy and despair, love and grief, are each other's premises. When life breaks into pieces, despair may ensue, but darkness offers possibilities to tap into the light. The use of experiential somatic practices and creative expressions can reach deep and help illuminate conscious and uncons
Recent advances in instrumentation have sparked a transformative journey in materials science, providing insights into the intricate relationship between processing, structure and properties. Among them, cutting-edge in situ micro- and nanoscale mechanical characterization methods, equipped with exceptional spatial and temporal resolution, such as instrumented electron microscopy, X-ray imaging an
Protein aggregation is a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. A common feature of these disorders is the misfolding and aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) and amyloid-β (Aβ) proteins into amyloid structures, which disrupt cellular homoeostasis and drive disease progression. While Aβ typically forms extrace
“Right to repair” (R2R) has become an important policy objective in European Union (EU) policy and law. The main objective of R2R is to remove barriers that inhibit consumers from repairing the products they own. The EU has made use of different regulatory frameworks to enforce R2R, most notably product regulation to induce design changes and ensure that spare parts and software updates are availa
This chapter reviews the historical development of the regulation of waste and chemicals in both international law and European Union (EU) law after the 1972 Stockholm Conference as well as some of the subsequent trends and themes. It also highlights the relevant interactions between EU and international law on these issues. The chapter ends with a discussion of how the regulatory frameworks relat
Objective:To evaluate short- and long-term outcomes after modified Stage-I (mStage-I) palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS).MethodsThis retrospective single-centre study analyzed 128 patients with HLHS treated between 1993 and 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: Era-I (n=36), from 1993 to 2001, who underwent the classic Norwood procedure, and Era-II (n=92), from 2002 to 20
This article traces how Yazidi genocide recognition is reworked across juridico-political domains in Germany, drawing on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork conducted between August 2025 and February 2026 and analysis of criminal judgments and asylum decisions. It argues that recognition does not operate as a stable legal achievement but takes on shifting meanings as it moves across institutional s
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to examine whether a novel semi-automated dataset based on electronic health record documentation can be used for surveillance of central venous catheter-related mechanical complications (failed catheterisation, bleeding, cardiac arrhythmia, pneumothorax and nerve injury) within 24 hours of catheterisation.METHODS: The semi-automated dataset comprised a fully
OBJECTIVES: To investigate utilisation patterns of different types of healthcare in a pre-pandemic and pandemic period, respectively, among children with intellectual disabilities in comparison to their age peers in the general population.STUDY DESIGN: Based on 8 years of register data, we identified 1947 children with intellectual disabilities (ID cohort) and 145 998 children from the general pop
Fenomenet ultra-fast fashion har lett till att klädindustrins miljöpåverkan, och frågan om hur textilindustrin bättre kan regleras, diskuteras allt mer intensivt inom EU. Frankrike ligger i framkant och har redan antagit en lag riktad mot ultra-fast fashion, men även på EU-nivå har ett antal styrmedel börjat införas. Även om det är viktigt att EU:s medlemsländer kan behålla ett visst utrymme för e
