Climate and Trade Policies in a Post-2012 World is a collection of short forward-thinking articles by leading experts on the relationship between trade and climate change policies. The idea for developing this publication was conceived at the “International Workshop on Post-2012 Climate and Trade Policies”, jointly organized in September 2008 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and
Philosophers of science have often favoured reductive approaches to how-possibly explanation. This article identifies three varieties of how-possibly explanation and, in so doing, helps to show that this form of explanation is a rich and interesting phenomenon in its own right. The first variety approaches “How is it possible that X?” by showing that, despite appearances, X is not ruled out by wha
Background: In the COMET study, carvedilol improved survival compared to metoprolol tartrate in 3029 patients with NYHA II-IV heart failure and EF <35%, followed for an average of 58 months. Aims: To evaluate whether the effect on overall mortality was specific for a particular mode of death. This may help to identify the mechanism of the observed difference. Methods: Of the 1112 total deaths, 972

This second edition of the infrared microwindow atlas contains a collection of spectral mi- crowindows commonly used or recently suggested for ground-based, high resolution, infrared solar absoption spectroscopy. These solar observations are aimed at quantifying the abun- dance of trace species in the terrestrial atmosphere. A microwindow is a narrow spectral interval that allows to observe a spec
Koldioxidavgift & utdelning – för att det är rätt, relativt lätt eller för sidoeffekterna? Att lägga en avgift på fossila bränslen för att påskynda energiomställningen och sedan varje månad dela ut alla dess intäkter till allmänheten för att göra det hela tilltalande – kan det vara något? Denna studie visar att förespråkarna för en sådan policy noggrant bör skräddarsy sin kommunikation och ge‘Fee & dividend’ (F&D) would incentivize the energy transition by levying an annually rising fee on fossil fuels. Simultaneously, all revenues would be given straight back to citizens, protecting a majority against price increases on products and services. Proponents say that this translates into broad popular support and makes the policy the most feasible option for realizing adequate car
Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to explore how the ownership transfer from a developed country to a developing country influences consumers’ perception of the brand. Design/methodology/approach: After the extensive review of the literature about the concept of country of origin and brand image, three premium automobile brand acquisition cases (Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo) were investigated.

The research methods used are experiments that examine five different exercises for improvising within an ensemble context and how they may be developed by the use of digital tools. The experiments have been conducted by us, the writers of this study, and they have been supe
The construction and operation of buildings is resource and energy intensive. As a sector buildings are responsible for roughly a quarter of all greenhouse gasses globally and represent a key intervention point in the fight against climate change. Energy and green building certification schemes are an example of tools that can be used in the design and construction high-performance buildings to he
Syftet med denna undersökning är att mot bakgrund av nationella handlingsplaner och riktlinjer för funktionsnedsattas inkludering undersöka hur dessa överensstämmer med musik- och kulturskolors verksamhet. Med musik- och kulturskolan i fokus syftar också denna undersökning till att kritiskt granska inkluderingsarbetet i den reguljära verksamheten vid utvalda musik- och kulturskolor. Även musikpedaTitle: Inclusion of pupils with functional deficits in music and cultural schools The major aims of the study are to investigate the extent to which the activities of music and cultural schools that many children in Sweden can attend in their free time are consistent with the plans and guiding principles adopted in Sweden for primary and secondary school education, to examine critically the inclus
This thesis investigates the role of the Human Resource (HR) departments in the success or failure of the Merger or Acquisition (M&A) process. Through M&As, companies aim to gain strategic advantages by obtaining another company’s core competences, buying their biggest competitor or building a stronger organization by merging with another. In contrast of the high quantity of M&As condu
Mantena Sverige AB is responsible for providing maintenance to Skånetrafiken’s trains. The maintenance is done in their depot located outside of Helsingborg. Previously all sourcing and inventory control of spare parts used for repairs has been done by the company who built the trains and who has a warehouse located in the same building as Mantena’s depot. However, Mantena is currently in the proc
The aim of this thesis was to analyse and compare how two Swedish parliamentary parties, the Left Party and the Sweden Democrats, have discursively problematized and depicted narcotics through the parties' political motions between the years 2010/11 to 2020/21. This was achieved by collecting all political motions regarding narcotics from each political party during this time span and finally
The aim of this study is to explore the relationship of recent Turkish immigrants with the city of Berlin through the lens of media and communication, and to identify the identity dynamics in this relationship. The relationship with, and links of immigrants to their countries of origin is a common subject in diaspora studies, human geography, and media and communication studies. However, more rese
Purpose: A stagnant Cuban economy, state owned and operated businesses, as well as a general public desire for change to happen in the country, present themselves as a matter that should be addressed. The opening up of the private economic sector within a communist regime proves as an interesting topic, and allows for an architectural interpretation to be made. Assignment: Given the economic an
Thesis purpose: By investigating how market driving strategy applies to the context of smaller companies we intend to be able to extend the existing knowledge about market orientation and market driving strategy, and provide practitioners with insights on strategic planning and working with brand identity. We hope that this in turn can help more SMEs survive and be long term profitable. Methodol
Expertutlåtanden som bevismedel har blivit ett allt vanligare fenomen i den svenska rättegången. Rättsläkare, forensiker och andra experter uttalar sig om komplexa förhållanden i hopp om att upplysa domare om vilken betydelse en omständighet har. Det är inte alltid en lätt uppgift och mycket kan gå fel på vägen. Syftet med denna undersökning är att kvalitetssäkra vissa aspekter av den rättsmediciExpert witnesses are an increasingly more common phenomena in the Swedish trial. Forensic physicians, forensic scientists and other experts give their opinions on complex matters in the hope that it will help the fact-finder understand certain circumstances. It is a difficult task and a lot can go wrong along the way. The purpose of this investigation is to improve the quality of certain aspects
Under de senaste årtiondena har bin, såsom humlor, minskat i både antal arter och populationsmängder. Detta är ett stort problem för vårt samhälle då både jordbruket och naturliga ekosystem till stor del är beroende av dessa pollinatörer. Det är speciellt problematiskt att humlor minskar då de har förmågan att utföra en speciell sorts pollinering (buzz-pollination) som några av våra vanligaste gröThe decline of bees, such as bumblebees, over the last decades raises concerns as they are key pollinators in both agricultural and natural ecosystems. One proposed cause for the decline of wild bees is competition for food resources with managed honeybees. Detrimental effects of competition can result where co-existing species exhibit a high degree of shared resource use (i.e., niche overlap). Th
Risk perception and risk tolerance are key elements of decision-making and flight safety. During flight operations, an accident may occur if a pilot underestimates risk level or overestimates their capacity (risk tolerance). Despite the numerous research studies conducted previously on risk perception and risk tolerance, there has been limited investigation into the "evolution" of these
