Quality Matters: The Dynamics Between Income Inequality, Carbon Emissions, and Good Governance

Considering a panel data of 23 countries from different income levels, this research aims to understand the role of governmental quality in mediating the effects of income inequality on CO2 emissions in the period between 1990 and 2020. Using system-GMM, results indicate that good governance is indeed a crucial factor in establishing the direction of the relationship between income inequality and

Svenska avfallsabonnemang - En studie om utformning av avfallsabonnemang och prissättning som incitament

Ny avfallslagstiftning tvingar kommunerna att se över sina avfallsabonnemang I dagsläget bestämmer varje kommun själv hur många källsorterade avfallsfraktioner de vill hämta upp hos hushållen samt huruvida matavfall ska sorteras ut separat eller slängas blandat med restavfall. Ny avfallslagstiftning från EU och regeringen tvingar kommunerna att se över sina avfallsabonnemang så att de lever upp tRecycling reduces the need for new raw materials and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the new waste legislation from the EU and the Swedish government imposes higher recycling requirements on Swedish municipalities. Starting from January 1, 2024, it will be mandatory for all EU member states to separately collect food waste through curbside collection. The Swedish government has also decided

Potassium in the Galactic Bulge - as traced by microlensed dwarf & sub-giant stars

Sökandet av förståelsen kring hur jorden, solsystemet, galaxen och universum fungerar har under de senaste hundratals åren varit ständiga frågor som vi människor grubblat över. Frågor som vad materia är, vart det kommer ifrån och hur det ter sig var under en lång tid obesvarade frågor. Idag vet vi att många grundämnen skapas genom den fusion som sker inuti stjärnkroppar, och resterande grundämnen During this report the potassium (K) trend in the Galactic Bulge, with respect to metallicity and various α-elements, has been computed and evaluated by a method of line synthesis on the 7698.96 ̊A KI line (7699 KI), where Non-Local-Thermal-Equilibrium (NLTE) effects have been considered. Specifically, the α-elements of interest are calcium (Ca), titanium (Ti), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg) and oxy

Utvärdera en alternativ I/O-modul till ABB:s styrsystem

Examensarbetet har utförts på Höganäs AB där stor del av verksamheten drivs av ABB:s styrsystem. Eftersom ABB:s I/O-moduler har lång leveranstid för tillfället men också ett högt inköpspris så sökte företaget alternativ. Det skulle vara lönsamt att testa och analysera alternativ då priserna kan reduceras men också en nödlösning när I/O-moduler går sönder i verksamheten, eller när något nytt behöve

Bil, gång, cykel eller buss? En studie av lösningar för att skifta från bil till hållbara färdmedel i Järfälla kommun.

Som sanden i timglaset rinner tiden iväg för att stoppa de globala klimatförändringarna, med ödesdigra konsekvenser för nuvarande och kommande generationer. En av de största utmaningarna är att minska utsläppen från transporter som utgör en tredjedel av de svenska växthusgasutsläppen. Privatbilismen är en av de största klimatbovarna där andelen resor fortsätter öka trots vidtagna samhällsåtgärder.Achieving a transport emission reduction in line with global reduction targets is considered as one of the greatest environmental challenges societies are facing today. As car use continues to increase, there is a need to better understand what influences individuals' choice of transportation and how to bring about behavioural change where fewer choose to travel by car. This study addresses th

Safeguarding Financial Integrity and Privacy in the EU's Internal Market: Balancing Anti-Money Laundering Obligations against Fundamental Rights to Privacy

Uppsatsen undersöker EU:s åtgärder mot penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism (AML-direktiven) och dess förenlighet med rätten till privatliv och dataskyddsregler.

Constructing Subalgebras of K[x] Using the Minimal Polynomial

In this report we will be working with subalgebras A of finite codimension in K[x]. It is known that such subalgebras can be expressed using a set of linear conditions evaluated at a finite set of points called the spectrum elements of A. These conditions are of one of two types, equality conditions or α-derivations, which in turn consists of the values and the values of the derivations of the ele
