Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is crucial to reach global and regional climate targets. However, the efficiency of unilateral climate policies aimed at taxing emissions might be hampered by carbon leakage. One way to eliminate leakage is to implement a global carbon tax. In this article, we study the effects of a carbon tax in agriculture on GHG emissions by simulating five polReducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is crucial to reach global and regional climate targets.

The possibility to integrate sustainability considerations in the public procurement process has been debated over recent decades, resulting in several legislative changes. Collaboration between public and private sectors is emphasised as important in the development of sustainable public procurement but few studies focus on public-private collaboration related to sustainable public procurement.

Bildandet av blodceller, hematopoesen, utgår från ett litet antal av de så kallade hematopoetiska stamceller som sitter i vår benmärg. Dessa celler har förmågan att ge upphov till alla mogna blodcellstyper av de tre hematopoetiska linjerna, samtidigt som de genom celldelning bibehåller sin egna mängd. Det har uppskattats att vi endast har några tusen hematopoetiska stamceller, men trots deras rela

Episodic memories are formed by hippocampal binding of the "what" and "where" features of everyday events. The hippocampus minimizes interference between related similar episodic memories by pattern separation. Stress and psychopathology are associated with lowered pattern separation.

In this report, the effectiveness of a detector-activated water mist system, Q-fog, has been compared to traditional residential sprinklers. In total, eight tests were performed with a realistic fuel (bed with pillow and duvet) based on the test procedure described in LPS 1655. The bed was placed at different locations in the room and was ignited at the pillow and below the bed, also according to In this report, the effectiveness of a detector-activated water mist system, Q-fog, has been compared to traditional residential sprinklers.

Information flows can affect people’s apprehension of the pandemic and related behaviors. The aim is to explore how people access and assess COVID-19 information and whether sociodemographic factors are associated with these processes. Quantitative data from 928 persons from 29 countries who participated in an international web-based survey was analyzed with descriptive and analytic statistics.

The present meta-analysis investigated the relations between creative self-efficacy (CSE) and creativity measures and hypothesized that self-assessed questionnaires would have a different relation to self-efficacy beliefs compared to other creativity tests. The meta-analysis synthesized 60 effect sizes from 41 papers (overall N = 17226).

This volume presents a series of case studies that trace the ways in which audiences across Europe have attempted to return to Pompeii by emulating its interior decorations since the city’s rediscovery in the mid-eighteenth century. As such, it is about both the impact of Pompeian antiquity on the present and the reception in the present of that antique past, exploring the variety of ways in whichThis volume presents a series of case studies that trace the ways in which audiences across Europe have attempted to return to Pompeii by emulating its interior decorations since the city’s rediscovery in the mid-eighteenth century.

The oeuvre of the recently deceased Chilean writer Pedro Lemebel (1952–2014) can be described as an expression for systematically persecuted, repressed, censored minoritarian voices, both during the Chile of the dictatorship, that is during the 1970s and 1980s, as well as afterwards, in democratic Chile, that is from the 1990s onwards. These voices build discourses where gender, class or ethnic id

Studien utgör en del i ett tvärvetenskapligt forskningsprogram, ¯Effekthushållning i byggnader¯, genomfört vid Lunds Universitet. Den här studien har fokuserat energianvändning i bostäder ur ett kulturanalytiskt perspektiv. Detta har inneburit ett åskådliggörande av möten mellan bransch och brukare på den omreglerade elmarknaden. Här har vardagslivet varit en metodisk och analytisk utgångspunkt fö

Occupational exposure to various kinds of nanostructured aerosol particles such as soot and metal aggregates already exists. To understand the adverse human health effects of these particles, there is a need for systems that can Generate a stable output of aerosol particles, Char

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the level of trait anxiety and to which extent the equestrians reinvest to consciously control their movements, and if the result had an influence on performance. The selected participants were 30 elite equestrians, actively competing in dressage. All participants were competing on a both national and international level in thisSyftet med studien var att undersöka om det fanns ett samband mellan individens grad av trait anxiety och tendens att kontrollera sina rörelser hos elitryttare i dressyr, samt om utfallet hade en inverkan på prestation. Urvalet bestod av 30 stycken elitryttare som aktivt tävlade på nationell- och internationell nivå i den finmotoriska ridgrenen dressyr. Deltagarna besvarade en webbenkät som involv

Det huvudsakliga syftet med uppsatsen är att granska äktenskapet som en statligt reglerad samlevnadsform. Detta görs genom att granska äktenskapets historia, gällande rätt, äktenskapets funktioner och lagstiftarens överväganden vid reglering av intima relationer. Uppsatsen har också ett kritiskt anslagThis paper discusses marriage and its uncriticized role in Swedish family law.

Återställning av alvarlandskapet – en studie om Degerhamns kalkstensbrott När ett stenbrott avslutas börjar arbetet med att så gott som möjligt återskapa det landskapet som fanns innan brytningen. Min studie har undersökt hur detta ska gå till i ett kalkstensbrott i Degerhamn på södra Öland. Detta är en mycket viktig fråga då området på södra Öland internationellt sett är en mycket unik naturtypWhen a quarry closes measurements must be taken to recreate the landscape that originally was there. Old quarries are filled with water and are called artificial lakes. The aim of the study is to compare the water quality in three artificial lakes within a limestone quarry in Degerhamn, Öland with an alvar lake outside the quarry, in order to aid the restoration of the original landscape. The goal

The study is based on eleven interviews with real-estate agents from four different real-estate firms in the southern parts of Sweden. The main result of the study is that the real-estate agents experiences economical uncertainty which effects them in a negative way. The maj

The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of vertical brand extensions on consumer perceptions and brand equity. The aim of this study is to take a strategic brand management perspective in order to answer two research questions: How does a vertical brand extension affect the brand? How does a vertical brand extension affect consumer perceptions of the core brand? The main finding in thi

Bestämmelser om tvångslikvidation av aktiebolag vid kapitalbrist har sedan länge reglerats i svensk rätt. Bestämmelsernas övergripande syfte är att utgöra en gräns för hur långt en förlustbringande verksamhet får fortsätta innan verksamheten måste upphöra genom likvidation. På så sätt skyddas bolagsborgenärerna mot att bolagets hela kapital konsumeras innan avveckling av bolaget inleds. Som ett påProvisions regarding involuntary liquidation of companies, due to capital deficiency, have been enforced under Swedish regulation for a long period of time. The overall purpose of the regulation is to set a limit on the time period an unprofitable company may continue to trade before its operations must cease through liquidation. Thus, protecting the creditors of the company from a situation where

Det blir allt vanligare att människor flyttar mellan länder för att bo, studera, arbeta eller leva som pensionär. Till en persons hemvist knyts allt fler rättigheter och skyldigheter i samhället vilket skapar ett ökat behov för individen och staten att kunna fastställa var en person har sin hemvist. Idag finns ingen enhetlig tolkning av hemvistbegreppet. En persons hemvist kan därför variera mellaToday it is common for people to move across borders to live, study, work or retire. A person’s residence is linked to an increasing number of rights and obligations in society, which creates an increased need for both the individual and the state to determine where a person has its residence in different situations. Today there is no uniform interpretation of the concept. Where a person is consid
