The proliferation of plastic waste poses a significant contemporary challenge, driven by global population growth and the subsequent surge in plastic consumption. PE alone accounts for roughly 50-60% of the plastic waste stream. Its formidable resistance to enzymatic degradation, owing to its stable carbon-carbon (C-C) backbone and carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, further exacerbates the issue. This s

This thesis presents the derivation of the flavor structure of the Standard Model (SM) from the trinification model with an additional family symmetry. The trinification group is assumed to be broken in a single step to the electroweak gauge group. A low energy Effective Field Theory (EFT) is constructed and matched numerically at one loop level to the trinification model at high energies. The ana

The relationship between government spending and economic growth has captured scholars and policymakers over the years. Despite studies dating back to the early mid-1900s, establishing a clear causal relationship has yet to be discovered. This paper aims to contribute to the ongoing debate on the subject, with the ultimate goal of determining the effectiveness of fiscal policy. Employing a panel-V

This thesis investigates labor exploitation within China's food delivery industry, focusing on dominant platforms such as Meituan and Eleme amid the rapid growth of the digital economy. The study is motivated by concerns about the working conditions of delivery workers, who often lack formal contracts and protections, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation, especially through the use of algor

This thesis investigates how public archives in Sweden engage with ecological sustainability, with the purpose to provide an opportunity for reflection and discussion on the topic. My point in question is the disambiguation of the Swedish word “hållbarhet”. This is used both in reference to sustainability, meaning actions for improving environmental conditions, and to durability, which in the arch

This thesis contributes to leadership theory, specifically, full-range-leadership and VUCA, and the practical implications. Moreover, it addresses challenges that organizations may face when implementing these models in reality. We utilized an inductive research approach to identify insights within the leadership field in combination with a qualitative research method, grounded in interpretivism a

The increasing relevance given to climate change and sustainable growth has raised the need to analyse the linkage between the environment and the economy. This study investigates the causal relationship between economic growth, CO2 emissions, and renewable energy consumption. It specifically uses data from 1966 to 2022 from the Nordic countries, which, with their progressive environmental policie
