This paper investigates if there is hysteresis in unemployment rates for 8 OECD countries. Univariate unit root tests (ADF and KPSS tests) are performed as an initial analysis of the unemployment rates. These tests suggest that the hysteresis hypothesis is true. Since traditional unit root test have low power against fractionally integrated alternatives, the Sowell’s (1992) exact maximum likeliho

Stanford, ett mindre samhälle 150 km väst om Kapstaden, har under de senaste åren sett en ökad turism och utveckling, vilket har medfört ett ökat behov av färskvatten. I dagsläget används en naturlig källa som täkt för kommunens vattenbehov, men källans hållbara vattenavgivningsförmåga på 33 000 m3/månad är otillräcklig och en kompletterande täkt är nödvändig. Stanfordakvifären består av två formaThis study focuses on the Stanford Aquifer which is located in the Overberg region in the Western Cape of South Africa. The ’Eye’, a captured spring, is used as source for potable water for the local municipality and extraction have in recent years exceeded the sustainable yield of 33 000 m3/month and a supplementary source is therefore needed.

These two concepts exist in a gray area of international law and they receive neither combatant status nor civilian status. Due there exist a discussion of the need to obtain civil status. By deve
Zirkon (ZrSiO4) och baddeleyit (ZrO2) är två vanliga zirkoniuminnehållande mineral som båda är viktiga för U-Pb-geokronologi. Zirkon är stabilt under kiselmättade förhållanden medan baddeleyit under kiselmättade förhållanden torde reagera med det tillgängliga kislet och bilda zirkon. Trots detta har baddeleyit observerats som interna domäner i zirkon i kiselmättade bergarter från exempelvis sydväsZircon (ZrSiO4) and baddeleyite (ZrO2) are two common zirconium bearing minerals which are important for U-Pb geochronology. Zircon is stable at silica saturated conditions, while baddeleyite should react with the free silica to form zircon under the same conditions. Yet, baddeleyite have been observed as intergrowths within zircon grains in silica saturated rocks, e.g. from southern West Greenlan
Övergödningen är ett av de största hoten mot Östersjöns miljö. Den orsakar inte bara algblomning under sommarhalvåret utan även syrebrist (hypoxi). Utbredningen av syrefria bottnar i Östersjön har ökat fyrfaldigt sedan 1960-talet till följd av ökade utsläpp av näringsämnen, så som fosfor och kväve. Undersökningar av långa sedimentkärnor i Östersjön visar dock att dagens syrebrist inte är unik utanThe Baltic Sea is suffering from bad ecosystem health due to strong impacts of anthropogenic activities. Since 1960, the hypoxic (< 2mg/l dissolved oxygen) area has expanded to c. 49 000 km2, resulting in an amplified eutrophication, which severely threats the ecosystem of the Baltic Sea. The long-term trend in basin-wide hypoxia in the Baltic Sea is not fully understood. This study explores the t
