The EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) is a cornerstone of the union’s strategy to mitigate climate change and innovation is integral to emissions reduction, as well as an aim of the policy. To study if the EU ETS is associated with increased innovation, the Swedish Pulp and Paper Industry (PPI) poses an interesting case. Not only is Sweden itself a leading innovator, but its PPI have rapidly reduc

The purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of how the perception of stress for HR-professionals within staffing- and recruitment, might differentiate when working more or less from home. An additional ambition was to develop an understanding of how the work characteristics, job-demand, control and support, could have an impact on the above association. To examine this, an explorator

The existence and staffing of reference desks in academic libraries has been a topic of debate for at least 30 years. As digital library services have grown in significance, some argue that the physical desk no longer serves the needs and wishes of patrons. The use of the academic librarian behind the desk has also been questioned – studies have shown a gain in efficiency when letting student work

Titel: Validering av en handledsburen aktivitetsmätare och en självskattningskala för beräkning av VO2max. Bakgrund: Fysisk aktivitet och god aerob kapacitet är kopplat till god hälsa och lägre risk för livsstilsrelaterade sjukdomar. I dagsläget anses maximalt arbetsprov med ergospirometri och gasanalys för bestämning av VO2max (VO2max-test) vara det mest exakta sättet att mäta aerob kapacitet. Su

As information technology develops in the past decade, the digital society has affected every aspect of the social structure. The legal system faces the challenge in implementing the legal norms, yet the evolved architecture of technology in the digital society makes it difficult for the law to perform its function. One of the fields of challenge is legal protection of personal data. Legislat

One of the main contributors in the immune system are T cells. The exact molecular mechanisms behind T cell activation are not yet fully understood but it starts through the contact between the T cell and an infected cell. In order to study such interaction, supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) are used to mimic cell membranes and to reduce its complexity but still retaining the fundamental property of

System on Chip (SoC) designs contain a variety of Intellectual Property (IP) cores, including digital signal processing blocks, media and graphics processing units, as well as processing core units that employ multiple-port memories to enhance performance and bandwidth. These memories allow parallel read/write operations from the same memory blocks from different ports. Due to the enormous number

Sanctions have been in place for many, many years and are, so to speak, an internal tool for influencing foreign policy. Sanctions are intended, as part of other foreign policy activities, to influence the policies or activities of another state or group of people that are considered to be a threat to international peace and security. This thesis examines how wartime sanctions on individuals work,

The field of trans studies is a growing, yet still small field within the Nordic context. There is a big gap in research regarding non-binary* lives, and research aimed at the intersection between age and gender identities beyond or between the gender binary is close to non-existent in Sweden. The aim of this study is to investigate experiences of not having a language to describe and communicate

Detaljhandelslandskapet har under de senaste åren förändras på grund av digitaliseringens utveckling och då fysiska butiker står inför stora utmaningar kan motiverad personal ses som en allt viktigare resurs. H&M är en viktig aktör för den svenska detaljhandelsbranschen och denna studie syftar därför till att undersöka hur butiksanställda på H&Ms butiker upplever sina förutsättningar för a

Background: Food access is an important aspect of health promotion for the elderly. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between distance to the nearest food store and diet variety in rural community-dwelling elderly Japanese. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 1,103 elderly participants surveyed by mail in rural areas of Japan. Diversity of food intake was

BACKGROUND Ibrutinib, a Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor, may have clinical benefit when administered in combination with bendamustine and rituximab and followed by rituximab maintenance therapy in older patients with untreated mantle-cell lymphoma. METHODS We randomly assigned patients 65 years of age or older to receive ibrutinib (560 mg, administered orally once daily until disease progressio

Verksamhet, människa och omvärld är den första boken på svenska om den kulturhistoriska verksamhetsteorin för de som arbetar med människor i social utsatthet. Centralt i teorin är att koppla ihop människan och hennes omvärld med begreppet verksamhet. Därigenom framkommer nya teoretiska perspektiv samt en helhetssyn på sociala problem som våld, gäng, sexuella övergrepp, missbruk, kriminalitet, mobb
