Railways have played a significant role in the development of national identity. In the context of the European Union, I argue that it could play a similar role in supranational identity building. Currently, the European railways resemble a patchwork of incompatible standards and working practices.

Banker har ett stort ansvar att motverka penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism. Trots det omfattande arbetet för att motverka penningtvätt, sker en stor andel ekonomiska brott där finansiella institut har en bidragande roll. Det kan bero på aktiva beslut hos banker för att bidra till ekonomisk vinning, men i många fall är det ett resultat av okunskap om hur företagen utnyttjas för kriminella Banks have a significant responsibility in counteracting money laundering and terrorist financing. Despite the comprehensive efforts in anti-money laundering activities, financial crimes are still commonplace and financial institutions have a contributing role. This involvement can be explained by banks making an active choice in participating for financial gains, but in many cases, banks are crim

Utöver medierepresentationer i Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter och Expressen har även tingsrätts- och hovrättsdomen fungerat som underlag, samt en bok skriven av fostermamman. Emp

In 2021, the EU announced the introduction of a carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) to address the carbon leakage problem, which hampers its efforts to mitigate climate change. One of the CBAM requirements is that if an export party can provide that it paid for used carbon domestically, the corresponding amount will be deducted from the EU importers. After the announcement, Russia, one of th

Development and analysis of a commercial hair mask Our degree project has been to develop and analyse a hair mask. We tried out different “recipes” for the hair mask in the lab, and then used different methods to evaluate our recipes to find out which one is the best. Like many other industries, the hair cosmetic industry is facing a change where customers are asking for a new type of environmenta

Dagens samhälle håller på att elektrifieras och mer förnybar energi behövs, speciellt i södra Sverige där förbrukningen av el är betydligt högre än produktionen. Även elpriserna håller på att förändras och är just nu på väldigt höga nivåer. Sysav är ett avfallsaktiebolag i Skåne med 16 anläggningar, däribland soptippar även kallade deponiner. Sysav vill bidra till den förnybara energiproduktionen Todays society is moving towards electrification. This means that more renewable energy is needed. In the southern parts of Sweden the energy consumption is far greater than the production and the electricity prices are rising. Sysav is a company that takes care of the waste and recycling. They have 16 facilities in the south of Skåne, including landfills. Sysav has a vision to contribute to the r

Den globala medelhavsnivån har stigit till följd av den pågående klimatförändringen, och denna stigning förutspås att fortsätta framöver. Det blir därför allt viktigare att ta klimatförändringen i beaktande vid beslutsfattning, speciellt vid beslut vars konsekvenser kan tänkas påverka eller påverkas av klimatförändringens effekter. Genom klimatkommunikation kan beslutsfattare få kunskap och hjälp The ongoing climate change has caused an increase in the global mean sea level, and this sea level rise is predicted to continue during the 21st century. The importance of including climate change in decision making is becoming more and more recognized and increasingly important for decisions yielding consequences on longer time scales. The field of climate change communication is currently expand

Forskningsfrågor: Vad redovisar företag för mål i hållbarhetsrapporten, och hur redovisas dessa? Varför redovisas just dessa mål? Samt hur har införandet av internationella initiativ, standarder och regleringar för harmonisering och jämförbarhet förändrat redovisningen av hållbarhetsmål över tid? Hur kan förändringarna förklaras? Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att bidra med förståelse kring hur f

Stad och landsbygd beskrivs ofta som raka motsatser och i den framställda dikotomin mellan stad och land skildras ofta större tätorter som vinnare mot en avfolkad landsbygd. Tätorter och landsbygder runt om i landet har olika geografiska, demografiska och sociala förutsättningar. Det går därför inte att säga att det sker en positiv utveckling för alla tätorter eller en negativ utveckling för hela Urban and rural are often seen as each other’s complete opposites, were larger urban settlements are often presented as the winners against depopulating rural areas. While this is not always true, there is in many places an ongoing deterioration of public transport in areas with lower population density where resources are allocated to urban areas with a larger demand. This and other climate measu

T cell lineage development from an early thymic progenitor involves programmed shutoff of progenitor gene expression, upregulation of T cell specification genes, and proliferation. This biological system has been deeply studied and a gene regulatory network (GRN) that can accurately describe the system has been presented. Such a GRN offers an excellent opportunity to study lineage commitment from
