Services trade is increasingly becoming more important in the international economy. However, barriers to trade in services remain more obstructive than those to trade in goods.

Hur miljövänlig är hanteringen av mobiltelefoner och datorer som upphandlas av kommuner? Kommuner är organisationer som använder stora volymer av IT-produkter såsom mobiltelefoner och datorer. Då produkterna har en stor miljöpåverkan vid både tillverkningsprocessen, under tiden de används och till sist som avfall kan kommuner genom upphandling och sin användning av tekniken minska miljöpåverkan. The aim of this study was to examine how municipalities take environmental aspects into account when it comes to procurement and use of computers and mobile phones. Furthermore, the aim was to identify what happens to the products after its usage. The main methods employed were one survey with municipalities and semi-structured interviews with suppliers, municipalities, and other actors. The resul

There is a growing interest in integrating indoor and outdoor spaces and our experiences on both sides. Nevertheless, despite being a constant topic in architectural research, there is little academic work that shows the role of furniture as great tools for creating that connection. This degree project aims to show the enormous potential of furniture to be a useful tool to connect indoor and outd

Instagramkontot Mansbebisar är en sådan feministisk grupp som endast finns till för kvinnor och som uppmärksammar problemen

We present a parton-level phenomenological study of triple-Higgs production at leading order in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 100 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 30 ab^-1. This study aims to estimate the prospects for measuring the signal hhh production observable at the Future Circular Collider. We explore interesting final states that could be used for this purpose

This essay examines the impact digitalization has on trade in services inside the European Union (EU). Furthermore, it investigates whether countries with discrepancies in the degree of digitalization have identified such trade effects to different scopes. Initially, the application method used in this study is the gravity model using panel data with a disaggregated dataset from The Organisation f

Förlust av biodiversitet är ett av de största globala miljöbetingade problemen idag. Arter står inför ökande och potentiellt synergistiska hot från markomvandling och överexploatering av naturresurser, från globala såväl som lokala socioekonomiska krafter. Populationerna av ryggradsdjur har mellan år 1970 och 2016 visat på en global genomsnittlig minskning på 68 procent. Större djur, s.k. megafaunThe critically endangered Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) has, due to previous hunting and habitat loss, diminished to a few non-viable and fragmented populations. Despite a relatively large amount of conservation efforts during the last 30 years, numbers are still declining. Accurate numbers today are unknown, since the species is rare. Information indicates that less than 100 indi

Förändringar i organisationers omvärld leder till ett behov av att ställa om och anpassa sig till de rådande omständigheterna. En sådan förändring har varit behovet av att i allt större utsträckning arbeta hemifrån till följd av de restriktioner vi har behövt förhålla oss till under stora delar av år 2020. En effektiv och genomtänkt onboardingprocess kan minska kostnader kopplade till rekrytering,
