While foreign direct investments (FDI) are promoted as a vehicle for economic development their environmental consequences are less estab-lished. This study tests the hypotheses that 1) FDI led to environmental deg-radation in form of increased greenhouse gas emissions during Sub-Saharan Africa´s recent growth spurt but that 2) this impact was felt to a lesser extent in countries with a higher qua

This article encourages the media, and ultimately the public, to look more critically at the neoliberal notion of employability, which is discussed from a variety of angles, but is put under little critical scrutiny today.

About one in ten persons is born with, or develops, a physical, sensory or mental impairment. When this stops a person from participating in normal life, it becomes a handicap. The aim of this Building Issue is to help create physical environments, particularly in public buildings, that support people with physical and sensory impairments, so that they do not become handicapped. This report identi

Nations are agreeing that the ongoing climate change needs to be addressed with serious policies. The EU is aiming to become climate neutral by 2050 and to achieve this, significant legislative proposals have been initiated. In 2021, the Commission presented a CBAM proposal that would come to heat the discussion on carbon pricing. The CBAM is not only affecting many third countries, such as Turkey

In this thesis, some methods for efficient paging for mobile systems have been investigated. Compared to the conventional method, the methods proposed here increase the mobile stations discovery rate while decreasing the signaling load between the mobile switching centers and the mobile stations. As the cell sizes shrinks, the probability that the mobile stations moves between the cells during the

A game theoretical analysis of international policy is of great interest from an economist’s point of view and game theory has widely been used when analysing international trade, tariffs etc. In this thesis I will use “Cheap-Talk games” to analyse if threats from the U.S. targeting North Korea are having any impact. Cheap talk games are an application of the perfect Bayesian equilibrium of “dynam

Mjukdelssarkom utgör en heterogen grupp av ovanliga tumörer och innefattar ett 50-tal olika subtyper med varierande klinisk bild och prognos. Två tredjedelar är höggradigt maligna tumörer och en tredjedel av patienterna avlider i tumörsjukdom. I Södra sjukvårdsregion är vården av patienter med sarkom centraliserad till SUS/Lund. Sarkomgruppen i Lund utreder och behandlar patienter med sarkom och Soft tissue sarcomas constitute a heterogeneous group of rare tumours with some 50 histopathologic types with different clinical characteristics and prognosis. Two thirds are highly malignant tumours and one third of the patients die due to metastatic disease. The care of sarcoma patients in the Southern Swedish health care region is centralised to the Lund Sarcoma Centre. We have a large data ba

The global pandemic has initially negatively influenced the financial markets all over the world. As a consequence, the volatility in the stock markets increased and investors have experienced great monetary losses. In addition, the volatility spillover has increased between different markets and assets, which additionally amplifies the negative influence by the pandemic. This motivates the search

Product repair plays an important role in the realisation of a circular economy (CE) and sustainable consumption, yet little is known about what repair entails for individual product owners or users, particularly in a realised CE. This paper proposes a comprehensive approach by conceptualising repair as a multi-stage, cyclical process, shaped by previous experiences and, in turn, impacting future

Abstract—This article have been written in cooperation with The Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI). The article proposes a method to calibrate hydrophone positions for improved underwater survailence in The Baltic Sea. The idea with the method is to use the sound of a powerboat and a novel beamforming algorithm for array element localisation (AEL). There are strategic military advatages to this
