The practices of private companies, and especially of multinational corporations, can cause significant adverse impacts on the environment. The concept of corporate social responsibility ...

The inclusion of the maritime transport sector in the recent reform of the EU ETS is a major step forward in its decarbonisation process. At the same time, there is the example of the aviation sector, whose experience in the EU ETS has been troubled and has not been able to function as planned from the beginning, largely due to strong opposition from the international community. This scenario brings ...

In this thesis, I shall compare the different regimes regulating mineral resource management and environmental protection in the Area and Antarctica, and how these two regimes affect the rights and obligations of developing States. In order to do this, I shall make use of a doctrinal legal research approach to describe each regime, and shall additionally make use of elements from comparative ...

Timing and quantity of sleep depend on a circadian (ca 24-h) rhythm and a specific sleep requirement. Sleep curtailment results in a homeostatic rebound of more and deeper sleep, the latter reflected in increased electroencephalographic (EEG) slow-wave activity (SWA) during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Circadian rhythms are synchronized by the light-dark cycle but persist under constant ...

When professionals leave the profession for which they were trained, it is reasonable to assume that society has a challenge. Important theoretical and practical expertise and knowledge leave the sector. Often, escape routes from a profession are also a signal that those who are professionally educated are not satisfied with the working conditions at their workplace - a signal of an identity crisis ...

Additionally, the social dynamics of the classroom community, where most bullying takes place, may remain after the termination of the active bullying of a pupil. This combination of personal trauma and contextual conditions in the classroom community creates a high risk of negative development. ...

The synthesis, identification and electrochemical behaviour iron(III) complexes containing different 2-hydroxybenzophenone ligands are reported. The first reduction of the tris(2-hydroxybenzophenone)iron(III) complexes follow the same trend as that of the free, uncoordinated ligands and bis(2-hydroxybenzophenone)copper(II) complexes. The first reduction of the iron(III) complexes occur at a potential ...

<p>Luftkvalitet brukes som betegnelse på konsentrasjonene av forurensende stoffer i luften. Lokalt har luftkvaliteten stor påvirkning på menneskers helse og økosystemets bæreevne. Gjennom EØS-retten er Norge underlagt direktiver som pålegger myndighetene å ha kunnskaper om luftkvaliteten i landets syv geografiske soner til enhver tid. Myndighetene er også pålagt å skaffe seg kunnskaper om virkningen ...

This thesis analyses the Swedish legislation relating to the licensed hunting of the wolf, under the lens of the Habitats Directive. This analysis is underpinned by the Environmental Law Method in order to internalize ecological knowledge in the legal discourse, since environmental law should be constructed on the full understanding of its object, that is, the environment. In this sense, two main ...
