This paper examines the trade effects of increased trade policy uncertainty following the Brexit referendum by viewing the referendum’s influence on UK exports of goods to EU27 during the time period 2012-2019. This is done to give insight of how trade policy uncertainty can impact real economic behaviour, even when no classical trade barriers are changed. Methodologically, this is approached by e

To move to lower modes in extreme ultra-violet lithography (EUVL) technology (and keep up with Moore’s law), new sources of soft X-ray radiation must be developed. It is clear from previous studies that Free Electron Lasers (FELs) can easily meet the in-band power requirements at these lower wavelength modes, however detailed studies for insertion devices (undulators) as a soft X-ray lithography (

The aim of this paper is to study what role sustainability commitments of the target company have on merger strategies by studying bid premiums determinants between the years 2000 and 2020.

Frågeställningarna som besvarats berör faktorerna bakom radikaliseringen i Tjetjenien, vilken plats islam har i förklaringar till radikaliseringen samt vilka likheter och skillnader det finns i olika orsaksförklaringarna. Radikaliseringens orsaksf

I denna uppsats har jag analyserat hur karaktärerna i tv-serien I Mumindalen framställs ur ett genusperspektiv. Att valet föll på tv-serien hade främst att göra med att jag såg hur barn bearbetar det de ser genom den fria leken och önskade därför undersöka närmare vad som egentligen förmedlas via tv-program för barn. Tv-serien bygger på Tove Janssons böcker och mitt urval begränsades till de avsni

Överdäckningar – En analys av dagens riskhanteringsproblematik inom denna allt vanligare stadsbyggnadsstrategi I takt med en ökande befolkningsmängd och urbanisering har överdäckningar på senare tid blivit en allt vanligare strategi inom fysisk planering. En överdäckning definieras i regel av en konstruktion som tunnlar in ett nytt eller befintligt väg- och/eller järnvägsstråk och på så sätt skThe concept of road- and railway overbuilding is an increasingly popular method to use in spatial planning to get rid of physical barriers and create exploitable areas for residential, commercial, and recreational development. Despite the many benefits the method entails, it also brings a lot of problems and challenges regarding risk management with the main issue being how to evaluate and manage

In the Nordic countries, an increasing part of the population consists of migrants from various backgrounds. Naturally, it is important to investigate what can be done in order for these migrants to integrate successfully. Previous research shows that some of the fundamentals of integration are trust and the sense of collective identity. Therefore, it is important to further investigate the compon

As the need to adapt to a changing climate and the political rhetoric in this regard are growing, Berlin’s Senate has issued strategic policies – complemented by an increase of funding. Berlin’s socio-cultural features and place-based factors seem predisposed for so-called “Nature-based Solutions” (NbS) that can support the achievement of adaptation efforts. This encouraging context seems to be co

The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the real imbalances that have arisen in the economy since the introduction of the euro are improving over time. By using panel data to test for a unit root in and measuring the half-life of eleven euro countries’ real exchange rates under different exchange rate systems from 1957 to 2019, we can investigate how the euro has affected the deviations fr

The stratospheric aerosol load after the eruption of Raikoke in 2019 have been analysed with satellite data from the CALIPSO satellite. The goal was to see how much the stratospheric aerosol load increased due to the Brewer Dobson circulation, and further, how this affected the stratospheric aerosol optical depth (AOD), and the corresponding radiative forcing (RF). This was done by performing a da

Att inkorporera barnkonventionen till lag har varit debatterat under ett flertal år i Sverige. Ett antal utredningar har gjorts genom åren där man kommit fram till att inkorporering inte är nödvändigt för att jobba i enlighet med konventionen. Trots motstånd beslutade riksdagen 2018att barnkonventionen skulle bli lag och år 2020 trädde lagen i kraft. Beslutet bemöttes både negativt och positivt fr
