Title: The Impact of the Pandemic and War on the State of Global Supply Chains Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to outline the current state of global supply chains and global energy supply as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic as well as Russia-Ukraine war. Current energy and supply chain issues are explored and discussed based on existing theory on the topic. When the overall issues are cla
This paper examines youth engagement within the Global Landscapes Forum, a conference that took place in Paris, December 2015, and its contribution towards moving intergenerational equity forward. Youth are considered one of the main stakeholders when it comes to decision-making in long-term environmental issues as they are part of the current generation that are likely to face the implications of
The tax system is essential for financing our public welfare and the public sector. The tax system and its capacity to generate tax revenue typically reflect the structure of the economy and as the economy changes the tax system needs to adapt. This anthology brings together different perspectives on how digitalization changes or may change the conditions for how the tax ecosystem functions, from
Globally we are facing a complex web of grand challenges that are impacting the lived environment, our development pathways, and wider quality of life. Urban environments serve as a key context around which these grand challenges are not only experienced while also providing multiple opportunities to reduce environmental impacts and resource consumption; improve health outcomes; eradicate poverty;
The early form of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) emerged in the USA in the 1900s in order to manage interactions between water, land, eco- and social systems. By the end of the last century, IWRM has become a globally prominent policy concept. We concern ourselves with three questions, namely, a) “why did IWRM become a globally popular concept”?; b) “how did IWRM become a globally po
Popular Abstract in Swedish Framtida klimatförändringar påverkas till stor del på människans utsläpp av CO2, samt av klimat- och CO2-relaterade återkopplingar genom kolcykeln i både landbaserade ekosystem och hav. Landbaserade ekosystem tar för tillfället upp omkring 25% av de antropogena utsläppen av CO2 från förbränning av fossila bränslen och markanvändning, men att tillskriva vilka mekanismer The nature of future climate change will depend on anthropogenic emissions of CO2, as well as climate- and CO2-mediated feedbacks through carbon (C) cycling in both terrestrial ecosystems and oceans. Terrestrial ecosystems remove presently about 25% of the anthropogenic CO2 fossil-fuel and land-use change emissions, but to attribute which mechanisms cause this uptake, and the key regions where it
A multigene phylogenetic study was carried out to test current, mostly morphology-based hypotheses on Sterrhinae phylogeny with additional material included from further geographical areas and morphologically different lineages. A maximum likelihood analysis (11 molecular markers and 7665 bp) was conducted on 76 species and 41 genera using iq-tree software. The resulting phylogenetic hypothesis is

This article reports on case studies of eight Swedish based European Works Councils (EWCs) with a particular focus on impacts and outcomes. Three issues are explored: a) the benefits of EWCs from both employee and management perspectives; b) whether the EWCs have evolved as genuine forums for information, consultation and negotiation; and c) the effects of EWCs on industrial relations systems – sp
The color of lakes is an essential indicator of the local ecological state, and the corresponding changes can reflect the physical and biochemical processes of lakes. However, worldwide changes in lake color and their drivers remain largely unknown. Here, we analyze the long-term color distributions and changes of 67,579 lakes worldwide from 1984 to 2021 by utilizing 32 million consistent satellit
1. INTRODUCTION Geographers at the University of Lund have been active in research on desertification/ land degradation and environmental change monitoring of African drylands since the mid 1970’ies and of Asian drylands since the beginning of the 1990’ies. The results obtained so far do not confirm the concept of desertification as a mainly man made phenomena but indicate that the importance of c
The development of a software product in an organization involves various groups of stakeholders who may prioritize the qualities of the product differently. This paper presents an empirical study of 65 individuals in different roles and in different locations, including on shoring, outsourcing and off shoring, prioritizing 24 software quality aspects. Hierarchical cluster analysis is applied to t
Climate change has become one of the most serious challenges for human society in the 21st century. Due to the particularity of their own, occupational workers are more affected by climate change, which can cause disease, injury and even death. More importantly, climate change can indirectly lead to the reduction of work time and a decrease in labor productivity, which affects the social and econo
Using oil, gas, and coal to create platform chemicals on an enormous scale, the petrochemical industry constitutes a core part of the global energy order. Given prospects for demand growth for petrochemicals, the sector is set to become increasingly important to the fossil fuel interests. Starting from the perspective that internationalised networks are important to understand prospects for transf
The world of work is central to development, if one defines development as economic and social progress and wellbeing of individuals, families and societies. In the last decades of globalization the International Labour Organization has struggled to retain relevance and ensure “decent work” for all. The introduction of the 2019 ILO Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work sets up new guiding p
The paper examines how firms in three regional clusters in Norway dominated by shipbuilding, mechanical engineering and electronics industry, respectively exploit both place-specific local resources as well as external, world-class knowledge to strengthen their competitiveness. From these case-studies we make four points: (1) ideal-typical regional innovation systems, i.e., regional clusters "surr
