Regelverk på nationell och internationell nivå som syftar till att uppmuntra och underlätta internationella investeringar och handel möjliggör idag för multinationella företag att verka transnationellt genom användning av filialer och dotterbolag. När det kommer till företagsbeskattning har avsaknaden av ett globalt och universellt skattesystem för att reglera internationella skattefrågor dock möjDomestic and international regulations aiming to facilitate international trade and investment today enable multinational corporations (MNCs) to operate transnationally through the use of branches or subsidiary companies. Within the field of corporate taxation, the lack of a global and universal tax system regulating international tax matters however allows MNCs to exploit gaps and loopholes withi
In modern history, Sweden has experienced two major financial crises: the early 1990s and the global financial crisis in 2008. During the last decades, there has been an increased global focus on regulating and supervising banks, where Basel III is the leading framework. Today, one of the most debated issues within the global economy is Covid-19. It is uncertain how the pandemic will affect countr
Less than a decade ago, Swedish law demanded that a person who wanted to change their legal gender had to be without any ability to reproduce. This demand led to many trans people being forcibly sterilized. Even though the demand is now removed from law, lingering effects continues to affect trans people in their reproductive journey. This study examines barriers faced by trans people in three sta

Background: Globalization has contributed to that most companies today are competing on an international market, which has increased the emphasis on international human resource management. Due to the shortage of empirical studies on international human resource management practices the multinational "Best International Human Resource Management Practices Project" was conducted and parti
Transport in and through biological membranes that consist of lipid bilayers has a crucial role in many applications in the food or pharmaceutical industries. How to deliver an enzyme through the membranes without damaging the enzymatic activity or the "shelf-life" of the enzyme has been of large interest since 1970 [29-30]. In this work, we have shown that a thin lipid sponge phase (L3)
Most of classic psychedelic literature indicate its potential benefit to society and the environment during a time of rapid environmental degradation and climate change– hinting its potential role to sustainability and socio-ecological transformation. There is virtually no study drawing the explicit interlinkages of classic psychedelic research to sustainability science but it is observed that the
Reducing emissions in the basic materials sector, which account for 25% of the global greenhouse gas emissions is a pressing climate mitigation task. Investments into decarbonising this sector are critical and therefore raising capital though climate finance is gaining attention. Green bonds are a new asset class that incorporate sustainability criteria into bonds. Despite the increasing use of gr
Even as the public awareness and concern about climate change are increasing, and the younger generations are urging for political action, support for more costly and ambitious mitigation policies is not given. The low-cost hypothesis theory provides an explanation for why our concern about climate change fails to translate into supporting policies when the personal cost is high. However, research
Many people are struggling with eco-anxiety, a chronic fear of environmental doom. Currently, eco-anxiety is managed through face-to-face psychotherapy, but with a lack of eco-anxiety psychology specialists, mobile mental-health applications bring new possibilities. In this thesis, current psychological eco-anxiety management responses (EMRs) are thematically analysed through the lens of Integral
By utilising a narrative analysis, this qualitative study takes a historical perspective on the impact of political unrest and political violence on Thailand’s economic development from 1970 to 2020. The study identifies the key state actors in Thailand’s political sphere as well as their relation to each other. Furthermore, the study classifies five ‘eras’ in the reviewed period and identifies di
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning De båda polerna har naturliga variationer med istäckets utbredning. Arktis och Antarktis har väl anpassad biota som klarar av det stränga klimatet och som är beroende av isens säsongsvariationer med att frysa och smälta. Isen spelar även en stor roll vid klimatvariationer och förändringar. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka vilken isbildning som är mest The polar areas have natural variations in the ice extent. The Arctic and Antarctic environment have well-adapted biota that can handle climate and that are dependent on the seasonal variations of freezing and melting of the ice. The ice also plays a major role in climate changes and climate variability. The aim of this report is to determine the type of ice formation that is most common for the p
