This paper focuses on labor market policies across countries belonging to the social-democratic welfare state regime. Since 1980 Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden have undergone a number of reforms and modifications within labor market, which identify the shift from traditional politics of expansion towards what many refer to as welfare retrenchment or restructuring. This paper attempts to obser

Background: Since the last decades of the twentieth century there have been lots of companies who had moved their production processes from the origin country to another different country because of a lower cost of operations in the new location. These better conditions were due to fewer labor costs, fewer land prices, fewer transport costs and lower taxes, among others. However, nowadays reshorin

With increasing societal urgency to address sustainability challenges, funding agencies continue to announce new calls for proposals that address sustainable development. However, as researchers, it can be difficult to stay on top of all the latest funding calls. Thus, we have collected the most relevant funding opportunities and resources to support your next application. The Sustainability Forum

This research is inspired by the concerns of deterioration of the environment by human activities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) represent 90% of all businesses in the world. SMEs as organizational level members of societies are responsible for environmental sustainability as other society members for the damages of their business activities to the environment. The current study aims

Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) is a pivotal component of the carbon cycle and is sensitive to environmental disturbances. In the context of the Tibetan Plateau, its spatial and temporal variations in DIC concentrations and flux have substantial implications for regional and global carbon cycles, which, however, remains poorly understood. This study harmonized a large database of riverine DIC obs

In workplaces, a lot of knowledge is lost when colleagues change positions. What was once obvious to one person can be incomprehensible to the next. This problem has been encountered by Probation Labs Sweden AB with their biochemical instrument, Labbot. Labbot facilitates researchers in automating their protein analysis. It works like a multi-tool where users can perform one or several tasks in a

At its core, language is multimodal (Kendon, 1986; McNeill, 1994), and information presented through different channels of information, such as visually, in the shape of gestures, or verbally, in the shape of speech or signs, together facilitate online language processing (Kelly, Healey, Özyürek, & Holler, 2015; Kelly, Özyürek, & Maris, 2010). This thesis extends previous studies on multim

Reaching the targets of the Paris Agreement requires acceleration of low-carbon energy transitions. At the same time, it is not fully understood why some technologies spread more rapidly and widely than others. This thesis advances our understanding of the diffusion of large-scale low-carbon technologies by bridging technology diffusion studies and political economy of transitions. Through combini

Plastic pollution is a cross-national environmental and societal challenge that needs to be addressed from the point of view of global supply chains. The circular economy (CE) has emerged as an alternative paradigm to the traditional “take-make-waste” models of production and consumption to create a closed-loop system so that plastic is trapped in the economy and not in the environment. This resea

Background: The novel COVID-19 outbreak has been present for over a year and is a permanent companion impacting daily lives and hurting economics universal. Since the presence of the coronavirus has been directly impacting stock markets and its returns worldwide, an analysis of the impact on the COVID-19 outbreak is inevitable. Therefore, this paper examines the influence of the novel COVID-19 out

På den Indokinesiska halvön ligger Mekongflodens avrinningsområde. De senaste årtiondena har Kina, som innehar den nordligaste delen av flodbassängen, startat ett omfattande vattenkraftsprojekt på flodens huvudfåra. Åtta mycket stora dammar är planerade varav tre redan är byggda. Länderna som ligger nedströms från Kina, nämligen Laos, Kambodja och Vietnam har på senare tid också beslutat att bygga

This research evaluates the effect and reasons of popularity of an Australian and British Branch University in Malaysia. The intention of the case study-based research was to produce an analytical overview of the countries widespread University twinning programs at local higher education institutes. The socio-economic underpinnings of the Asian Financial Crisis upon the Education sector are analyz

Increasing global production fragmentation allows for outsourcing of emissions, which may undermine national climate policies. Researchers focusing on the gap between consumption-based and production-based emissions have concluded that developed countries are systematically outsourcing emissions to developing countries. However, asymmetries in emissions embodied in trade may emerge due to differen

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av fem stycken artiklar som analyserar och estimerar finansiella prisprocesser. Alla artiklarna handlar också om stokastiska volatilitetsprocesser som estimeras med Bayesiansk statistik och Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) metoder. Det första pappret utvecklar en modell för att mäta den amerikanska och de regionala europeiska aktiemarknadernas påverkThis dissertation consists of five papers concerned with the estimation and analysis of financial price processes. The first paper develops a stock price model and analyzes the impact of the US and the regional European stock markets on the local European countries’ stock markets. Among several things, we find that the dependencies among the stock markets do not increase during periods of distress

Farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) is an intermediate in cholesterol biosynthesis, and it has also been reported to activate platelet LPA (lysophosphatidic acid) receptors. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of extracellular FPP in platelet aggregation. Human platelets were studied with light transmission aggregometry, flow cytometry and [35S]GTPγS binding assays. As shown previously, FPP
