Chile has been benefited from a commodity boom in the copper industry during the first decade of the 21st century. Does a mineral boom increase local labour opportunities? Can women get benefit from a resource boom? Can the mineral boom have indirect effects in non-mining sectors? The present paper attempts to explore and measure the impact of an exogenous increase in copper global prices between

Soot, formed during incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons, is a challenging compound to study. It affects air quality, climate, and human health. Its structural and optical properties are not fully understood due to variations in particle size, structure, chemical composition, and degree of carbon hybridization. In this work, soot was generated using a MiniCAST 5201C soot generator, which produces
In the ocean, carbon export is driven by the biological carbon pump where organic matter is transported from the surface layer to the deep sea. The sinking particulate organic matter is mainly a product of phytoplankton aggregates and faecal pellets from zooplankton & fish, together also known as “marine snow”. Marine snow is continuously being degraded by microbial and zooplankton activities

Along these routes new trade settlements would appear, the emporia.

Det första syftet är att identifiera de rättsliga konsekvenserna avseende genomförandeförbudet enligt artikel 108.3 FEUF när det förfarande som föreskrivs i artikel 108 FEUF har följts, och medlemsstaten i enlighet därmed har genomfört åtgärden, när ett positivt godkännandebeslut från Europeiska kommissionen därefter ogiltigförklaras av EU-domstolarna. Uppsatsen drar slutsatsen att EU-domstolarnasThis thesis examines the intersection of EU procedural law and EU State aid law, focusing on the systemic friction between the enforcement of the Standstill obligation and the principles of legal certainty and the protection of legitimate expectations. The first purpose is to identify the legal implications regarding the Standstill obligation under Article 108(3) TFEU when the procedure set out i
This thesis examines how conduct generated through corporate organisational structures may be translated into individual criminal responsibility under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. It focuses on aiding, abetting or otherwise assisting the commission or attempted commission of international crimes under Article 25(3)(c). The question is how corporate involvement in internati
This article examines why some economies sustain large financial sectors without experiencing the negative effects on economic performance predicted by the finance-threshold literature. It analyzes South Korea and Taiwan during their economic transformations from the 1960s to early 2000s, combining descriptive statistics on financial depth (private credit-to-GDP) and economic shrinking (years of n
