This paper seeks to provide insights into the effects of carbon border tariffs and to offer guidance for policymakers. The focus is directed towards the steel sector - a major contributor to carbon dioxide emissions, where production practices vary significantly among countries, leading to differences in pollution levels. Our primary focus is on the proposed carbon border tariff by the United Stat

For many years, Articles 31-33 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) have been considered a reFlection of the international law that governs the interpretation of treaties. This essay identifies two different ways of conceiving of this law: it can be regarded either as a tool for the justification of meaning or a tool for its discovery. The essay clarifies the relationship th

The energy intensive industry, producing basic materials, is responsible for 25 to 30% of today's global greenhouse gas emissions. The future supply of GHG neutral basic materials (e.g. steel, cement, aluminium, plastics, etc.) is a necessity for building a sustainable modern society. Deep decarbonisation of the energy intensive industries is technically possible but will require a major systemic The energy intensive industry, producing basic materials, is responsible for 25 to 30% of today's global greenhouse gas emissions.

This study will examine how relative solmization can be used to teach children and young people how to sing and read sheet music. Data collection was done using four methods; case study, observation, qualitative interview and stimulated recall. The literature chapter of this study accounts for the differences between absolute and relative solmization, and then describes relative solmization based

Multimedia has become one of the cornerstones of our 21st century society and, when combined with mobility, has enabled a tremendous evolution of our society. However, joining these two concepts introduces many technical challenges. These range from having sufficient performance for handling multimedia content to having the battery stamina for acceptable mobile usage. When taking a projection of w

Introduction: The main route of excretion of activity for most administered radiopharmaceuticals is via the urinary bladder and it is important to estimate the absorbed dose to the mucosal surface of the bladder wall, especially when radiopharmaceuticals are given for therapeutic purposes. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate how the absorbed dose varies with changes in the parameters, wh

The world is facing complex sustainability challenges, and the quest for a more sustainable world is characterized by uncertainty, both regarding goals and means. It is argued that this uncertainty requires a social learning process, where people collectively find shared problem perception and directions for sustainable solutions. The Swedish 4H farms have a great potential of being a platform for

Abstract in UndeterminedIntroduction: Care-planning meetings represent a common method of needs assessment and decision-making practices in elderly care. Older people's influence is an important and required aspect of these practices. This study's objective was to describe and analyse older people's influence on care-planning meetings at home and in hospital. Methods: Ten care-planning meetings we

Fighting poverty is the overall goal of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). Africa has highest percent of poor people in the world and in order to achieve the MDGs poverty and development trends must take a new turn in almost all African countries. The overall objective with this study is to analyse and discuss why financial markets work inefficiently in developing countries and hence fail to
