EU-kommissionen har lagt fram ett förslag på nytt energiskattedirektiv som innebär att yrkesfisket kan komma att betala bränsleskatt. Detta medför i så fall ökade kostnader och lägre lönsamhet för yrkesfisket inom EU. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur fisket kan anpassa sig till en bränsleskatt genom att på olika sätt minska sin bränsleförbrukning.Våra resultat visar att fisket kan mins

During the past decade, many parliamentary democracies have experienced bargaining delays when forming governments. The previous literature has attributed protracted government formation processes to a high degree of preference uncertainty among the political parties and a high level of bargaining complexity. The article draws on such theories, but also adds a third theoretical mechanism, commitme

Introduction: How does threat motivate political choices? An extensive literature has noted the importance of threat in influencing political behavior. A growing literature in political psychology has used the concept of “mortality salience” to examine the role of existential threat in political decisions. Scholars have argued that inducing mortality salience by asking individuals to think about t

Yarrowia lipolytica is an alternative yeast for heterologous protein production. Based on auto-cloning vectors, a set of 18 chromogenic cloning vectors was developed, each containing one of the excisable auxotrophic selective markers URA3ex, LYS5ex, and LEU2ex, and one of six different promoters: the constitutive pTEF, the phase dependent hybrid pHp4d, and the erythritol-inducible promoters from p

The main aim of this article is to investigate the application of the Nudge theory within the field of sustainable mobility as a strategy to encourage more use of sustainable modes of transport. This line of research is of particular importance due to the high share of emissions in the transportation sector, which has been increasing over the years. Although there have been pro-environment policie

This paper aims to investigate the factors that affect the technology acceptance of retail apps and elaborates on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) through an in-depth, single case study on IKEA. The case study provides the research with the crucial aspect of the customer's perception of the app and extends the framework through the practical adoption of apps. The data were collected throu

This paper aims to compare and evaluate the performance of inflation forecasting performance for benchmark time series models and machine learning models. The process is performed for both a developed economy, the US, and an emerging economy, Mexico. The study examines how forecast performance compares between benchmark time series models and machine learning models, as well as how forecast perfor

LPJ-GUESS is an advanced DGVM including detailed forest demography and management, croplands, wetlands, specialised arctic processes, emissions of nonCO2 GHGs and a highly flexible land-use change scheme which tracks transitions between different land-uses. It is the vegetation component of the EC-Earth CMIP6 ESM, the RCA-GUESS regional ESM, and also has a European mode operating at tree species l

AbstractAim: The overall aim of the thesis was to examine the psychosocial effects and family reactions to participation in longitudinal studies with their children at high risk for type 1 diabetes. Additionally, we aimed to develop a shorter form for the children to measure their anxiety when thinking of their risk of developing type 1 diabetes, which could be used in The Environmental Determinan

Very little is known about what family life looked like for settlers in colonial South Africa during the 18th or 19th century, nor how events over these centuries might have affected demographic change. The primary reason for this lacuna is a shortage of adequate data. Historians and genealogists have, over the last century, worked to combine the rich administrative records that are available in t

This chapter focuses on contemporary urban food sharing beyond the everyday experiences of eating together with friends and family. Such food sharing is increasingly facilitated by smart, digital technologies (ICT for brevity) from Apps and platforms to websites and social media, that offer new ways to grow, cook, and eat together as well as exchange food with others. The chapter begins by mapping

This paper synthesises research evidence regarding enablers and barriers for children with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) in the inclusive early-years Swedish preschool context. Focusing on current norms, this chapter presents a review conducted using purposeful sampling. The Swedish preschool curriculum sets expectations for children with ASC, which can be challenging. It is therefore important

Gängkriminaliteten är ett omtalat ämne som det kontinuerligt har forskats om. Forskningen har utvecklat kunskap gällande varför individer blir gängkriminella och vilka faktorer som gör att gängkriminella är kvar i gänget. Däremot finns det mindre forskning om vilka insatser som är effektiva för att lämna gänget och varför. Den aktuella studien syftade till att sammanställa den internationella forsGang criminality is a much-discussed topic that is extensively researched. The knowledge gained from the research explains why individuals become gang criminals and which factors make gang criminals remain in the gang. However, there is less research on which interventions are effective for leaving the gang and why. The current study aimed to compile the international research literature on the in
