This paper analyzes the impact of trade shocks on the female labor force. The EU enlargement of 2004 entailed a potential trade shock for Germany as trade barriers fell. With an increase in export opportunities and an increase in import competition, the enlargement could have an effect on the German labor market. The analysis is a quantitative approach of a panel data analysis and ranges between 1

This project aims to use the Tröger’s base molecule to synthesize a linearly heptakis-Tröger’s base. The furthest this project reached was the synthesis of the linearly fused tris-Tröger’s base analogue. To reach this compound, nine synthesis steps were preformed starting with an aniline analogue. The aniline was first halogenated and then condensed into the first Tröger’s base analogue. This was

Järn är en metall som finns i överflöd på vår jord. Den är säker, är ett av de mest använda grundämnena genom den mänskliga historien och finns naturligt inom varje människa. När den kombineras med andra atomer kallade ligander för att bilda ett så kallat komplex, kan den ifall den får lov att absorbera ljus, uppvisa fotokatalytiska egenskaper. Detta innebär att den omvandlar det inkommande ljusetIron is one of the most versatile transition metals on the planet, and it is the fourth most plentiful element in the crust on earth. It is among numerous things, endogenously, vital to the human organism, and exogenously, safe to handle. When combined with ligands to form a complex, it exhibits qualities that of catalysing light into viable energy, which can be harnessed to sustain different elec

The circular economy (CE) is argued as a possible model for dealing with value chain instabilities in global production networks. Since geographical proximity is central to unlocking circular potential, x-shoring (including concepts like reshoring, resourcing, or friendshoring) is arguably key to this process. Often, spatial restructurings of the CE are embraced without a critical examination of t

Artikel om de danska judarnas flykt över Öresund hösten 1943 ur ett regionalt, huvudsakligen skånskt, perspektiv.

Confronting the challenges of high transportation emissions, this thesis investigates development-based land value capture (DBLVC) as a pioneering and sustainable funding mechanism for private passenger rail initiatives in the U.S., particularly in contexts marked by a shortage of public financial support. This research centers on the Florida East Coast Industries' Brightline project, exemplif

Decarbonising the energy-intensive industries is a pressing issue for the EU to reach its climate target of climate neutrality by 2050. To tackle this challenge green industrial policy will be needed. A growing number of scholars argue that a mission-oriented and transformative approach to green industrial policy is needed to achieve climate neutrality objectives. Mission-oriented policy is a ‘tra

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and other electrical and electronic equipment exported for reuse from the EU to West Africa can contribute to a circular economy (CE) extending products’ use, but too often impact negatively on receiving countries. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes in the EU operate domestically and do not capture exports, thus EPR fees do not flow to receiving countries

This thesis examines the synergies of post-growth policies that aim to decrease environmental pressure at the legislative level of the European Union. Motivated by the urgent need to mitigate global warming and the limitations of the green growth paradigm, this thesis focuses on three specific post-growth policies: restriction of large resource extractions, reduction of caps on pollution, and proh

Arterial stiffness (AS) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are common in the older population. AS results in increased pulsatile pressure, elevated pulse pressure (PP), and is linked to hypertension. PP is a surrogate for AS. The kidney has low vascular resistance mechanisms, presumably making it vulnerable to the increased pulsatile pressure and hypertension associated with AS. The aims of this stu

Simulations are an indispensable tool in physics because they complement experiments, especially complex ones. Coherent multidimensional spectroscopy (CMDS) is such a complex experimental setup. In CMDS, the molecular system of interest interacts with two to four coherent laser pulses and the generated emission provides information about the energetic structure and the relaxation dynamics of the p

In this thesis, I attempt to categorize variable stars found with the OGLE telescope with the main aim being to find binaries containing white dwarfs. To do this, I combine light curve data from the OGLE telescope with data from the large Gaia EDR3 catalogue and a recently published 3-dimensional extinction map to gather the colour and absolute magnitude of the binary stars. Lastly, I use an artif

Detta projekt riktar sig till att undersöka om vi kan skapa en bild av en simulerad galax, göra mätningar på den som om ett värkligt teleskop hade sett den på natthimlen, och se om dessa mätningar stämmer överens med simulerade mätvärden. Med hjälp av given data så kommer vi återskapa en bild med hög upplösning som om du själv stod framför och tittade på galaxen. Sedan kommer vi dumma ner bilden sThe angular momentum of a galaxy is a very important concept when studying its kinematics. The two parameters that define the angular momentum are the rotational velocity of the galaxy and its dynamical mass. One of the problems with measuring the rotational velocity of a galaxy is that the galaxy may be observed at an angle. This impacts the radial velocity profile a telescope will measure. It wo

It is irrefutable that the material value chains of the modern economy need to become more circular to mitigate not only climate change but also biodiversity loss and pollution associated with increasing use of natural resources. Contributions to these impacts, known as the triple planetary crisis, occur at all stages of product value chains, from primary production to use stages and ineffective e

Two-particle angular correlations were measured in proton-proton collisions for pions π, kaons K and protons p. The meson results show the expected peak predicted by theory. However the proton results (for baryon-baryon and antibaryon-antibaryon pairs) an anti-correlation is observed. This observation is rooted in the baryon formation after the collision.

This paper analyses deuteron evaporation in comparison to the evaporation of a proton-neutron pair for different compound nuclei. The main reaction is the fusion-evaporation reaction of 40Ca on 24Mg target leading to the formation of the 64Ge∗ compound nucleus, along with other contamination reactions. The experimental dataset is obtained from Argonne National Laboratory. Projections on γ-γ matric

This thesis is ultimately concerned with a natural and optimal generalization of the familiar Bell state measurement on four basis states. Measurements in quantum mechanics are interactive processes, meaning the observer actively changes the state they extract information from. Different measurements differ in the degree of the disturbance induced, and in the amount and type of information gained.
