Emission trading schemes (ETS) have emerged as a popular climate policy measure and are increasingly advocated as policy instruments to support the transition to a green economy. Using complementary analytical methods, this research investigated the institutional developments and complexities of the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS). It focuses on (1) institutional experience and admin

Popular Abstract in Swedish Turismindustrin är numera en av världens absolut största industrier. Den är av central betydelse för ekonomisk utveckling och arbetstillfällen i ett stort antal länder. Det finns dock en baksida: turism leder ofta till exploatering av miljön, och bidrar i många fall till sociala och kulturella problem. Dagens turismindustri är inte förenlig med hållbar utveckling och deTourism has become a leading industry in the world and continues to grow rapidly, contributing essentially to economic growth and employment in many countries. Tourism as it looks today poses serious threats to the environment and considerable social and cultural challenges. The problem addressed by this research lies in the weakness of current concepts and practices in pursuit of sustainable tour

Popular Abstract in Swedish Huvudtanken i svensk välfärdspolitik är att genom generella åtgärder skapa ett samhälle tillgängligt för alla medborgare. Det är därför viktigt att undvika segregering och särlösningar och i stället höja normalverksamhetens standard. Fritidshemmets mål och uppgifter är desamma för alla barn och kvaliteten i verksamheten ska vara så hög att alla barns behov tillgodoses. The main idea behind the Swedish welfare state is to create a society accessible to all citizens by using to general measures. It is, therefore, important to avoid segregation and special solutions, and instead increase the standard of normal activities. The objectives and tasks of day centres for school-age children are the same for all children and the quality of the operations should be of a st

The formation of micro-droplets due to a pulsative micro-jet (width of 40 mu m) is studied using the 3D Navier-Stokes equations for multi-phase flows using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) and Volume of Solid (VOS) models. The droplet formation is studied for different transient velocity conditions and mass rates. The numerical results show reasonable agreement with both analytical theory and experimenta

In this article we take the classic meaning of exemplum as a point of departure to show how examples are marked and used in oral discourse on 'others'. The empirical material is a transcribed focus group interview with Swedish students talking about a trip to Warsaw. Examples may be marked in explicit ways but also in implicit ways. Some examples seem recognizable by their allusive nature, others

This paper presents a practical risk analysis method for critical, large-scale IT systems in an organisation. The method is based on reliability block diagram modelling and was adapted to fit the requirements of governmental organisations and to reduce the effort required to capture complex failure behaviour. Through the use of different failure categories the risk analysis can be simplified, the

Cutaneous Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types have been associated with non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), including a previous nested case-control study using HPV serology with bacterially derived fusion proteins with the major HPV capsid protein L1 (GST-L1). However, HPV serology using conformationally intact pseudovirions has been shown to correlate better with natural infection. Prospective studies

This thesis deals with the enforcement of intellectual property rights as an abuse of dominance. In particular after refusal to license a patent, which is essential for a standardized technology. Seeking for injunction relief may in some circumstances violate applicable competition law. The analysis will provide a hint, whereas patent holder who is dominating in particular market can or should be

The purpose of this study is to examine how social service handles incorrect information about them that is spreading on social media. This study is based on a qualitative method. In order to achieve the purpose of this work, the focus has been on the unit of child protection services and seven social workers have been interviewed. The study shows that social workers only handle incorrect informat

Current trends show that the number of people affected by natural disasters is likely to increase in coming decades. Today, more than half the world's population lives in cities and the number is expected to rise in the future. To make cities safe is therefore vital. Making Cities Resilient is an ongoing global campaign in the area of disaster risk reduction and aims to build resilient cities

Rapporten behandlar arbetsmiljön vid termisk ogräsbekämpning. Metoden innebär att ogräset hettas upp med hjälp av gaslågor. Både stora fordonsburna och mindre handdrivna används. Det som från arbetsmiljösynpunkt är speciellt med metoden är de risker som är förknippade med gasolanvändningen. De allvarligaste problemen med de aggregat som studerats har varit heta och oskyddade plåtar, heta avgaser o

In temperate regions, many vector-borne parasites maximise their transmission prospects by adjusting reproduction to seasonal cycles of host susceptibility and vector availability. Nevertheless, in these regions there are areas where environmental conditions are favourable throughout the year, so that parasites could benefit from a year-round transmission strategy. We analysed how different transm
