But in order to keep the security in a Community with no borders, the external border controls had to be strengthened. This was necessary to keep out drugs
Dark Matter is one of the biggest mysteries in physics of our time, with an overwhelming amount of evidence for its existence but lack of direct observation (at time of writing). The focus of this thesis is to reimplement an ATLAS analysis used for Dark Matter searches in the mono-H(bb) channel, and use that analysis in order to study the signal of a new particle called Dark Higgs. The Dark Higgs
In 2015, a coalition comprised of Saudi Arabia and its allies, conducted a military intervention in Yemen to protect the internationally recognized government.

The treatment of sewage sludge is often a neglected part of wastewater treatment operation in developing countries. It is generally perceived as an additional operational cost and its importance for an adequate sanitation system is not fully recognized. Therefore, the production of sewage sludge represents a risk of human health and the environment due to the potential of spreading pathogens. In M
The starting point and reoccurring theme of this work is the accommodation of the effective judicial protection of individuals in the European Union system of review of validity of its acts. The discussion of this issue was intense during the decade before the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty due to the Court of Justice’s judgments in the two famous cases Unión de Pequeños Agricultores and Jégo-Quéré
The endemic mesosaurid reptiles of the Whitehill-Irati sea in southern Africa and South America during the Permian were studied with preference for the Namibian material. To date three valid mesosaurid species have been described of which two occur on both continents. These mesosaurid aquatic reptiles were among the first evidence used to support the theory of continental drift at the beginning of
A recurring theme in debates on European Union politics is the lack of enthusiasm and involvement of European citizens in the decision-making and legislative procedures, which may appear complex and impermeable. While some scholars deny the existence of a democratic deficit, others fear that continued failure to bridge the gap between the political elite and the constituents will lead to an ever-d

Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) model with and without a structural break are used to identify whether the policy implemented facilitates the region to move closer to a single currency area.

Energy communities are emphasized by the EU as important for developing sustainable energy systems that include and engage many people. While many renewables are highly compatible with a more decentralized energy system, research indicates that participation in 'desirable' energy activities and energy decision-making is influenced by social and economic factors, including gender, economic status a
Reliable quantification of the sources and sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), including that of their trends and uncertainties, is essential to monitoring the progress in mitigating anthropogenic emissions under the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement. This study provides a consolidated synthesis of estimates for all anthropogenic and natural sources and sinks of CO2 for the European Un
