In January of 2018, the EU commission presented a new strategy on how the EU will handle plastics in a circular economy. The strategy raises many of the issues the EU face with plastics and plastic waste today, presents several goals for 2030 in this field - such as a >50% recycling rate of plastic waste - and recommends measures the nations could take to improve their management of plastics and p

The concept of the “Security-Development Nexus” illustrates a friction between two wellestablished norms that constitutes the EU's normative identity in external relations. A normative conflict where EU's vision of forming a strategic and collective international security policy has threatened its commitment to international development policy and its agenda to combat global poverty. EU&

The aim of the thesis is a multidisciplinary approach to how traditional handicrafts interplay with social relations, such as gender, on several geographical scales. The study is an ethnographic fieldwork in Uttarakhand, India, at an organization working with weaving. The material is interviews, observations and field notes. The interviews were conducted with women working as weavers at the main c

Financial distress is costly for a company and affects many stakeholders. Although models of distress and default have been constructed and developed by researchers for a long time, a model adapted to the unique characteristics of the Swedish market is still missing. This study has two major purposes: (1) to construct a model of distress on the Swedish market, and (2) to use this model to investig

This study considers the nexus between trade, productivity and misallocation. Drawing on the influential model by Melitz (2003) in which firm heterogeneity is exploited to derive aggregate productivity gains from trade liberalizations, the intermediating role of dismissal regulation in producing these gains are examined. The source of the post-liberalization increase in aggregate productivity is a

The main purpose of this study is to assess the impact of environmental conditions on paper-based flexible laminates tendency to curl. Any deviation in flatness may indeed affect materials processability. Two different paper-based flexible laminates are considered: a widely processed heat-sealable yogurt lid (paper / metallized polyethylene terephthalate / heat-sealing lacquer) and a prototype lam

The freedom of establishment is an expression of the Internal Market. On the one hand, the EU tries to strengthen the Internal Market, but on the other hand, Member States have a fear to lose their national control, making them eager to restrict the free movements granted by the Internal Market doctrine.

It also analyzes different control variables that were aimed at capturing economic concerns, age and convenience in BEV adop

Silicon double crystal monochromators are standard in modern synchrotron hard X-ray beamlines. Their role is reducing a polychromatic photon beam to a small range of wavelengths, typically within a bandwidth of 0.01-0.1%. These monochromators work through the principle of Bragg diffraction where the crystal lattice spacing, photon energy and incident angle determines the reflectivity of the crystal.
