School districts in the US and around the world are increasingly moving away from traditional neighborhood school assignment, in which pupils attend closest schools to their homes. Instead, they allow families to choose from schools within district boundaries. This creates a market with parental demand over publicly-supplied school seats. More frequently than ever, this market for school seats is

Medans världens fossila bränslereserver sinar har utvinningen av fossilgas genom hydraulisk spräckning, allmänt känt som fracking, vunnit mark internationellt. Parallellt med detta uppenbarar sig klimatförändringarnas katastrofala effekter och tiden är knapp för att ställa om global energiproduktion innan medeltemperaturen når så kallade ”tipping points”. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utforska dAs the world is running out on conventional fossil fuel reserves the extraction of fossil gas through hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, has gained further ground internationally. In parallel, the escalating and disastrous effects of climate change are evident and time is running out to adjust energy production systems in order to avoid tipping points of global temperature levels.

This paper focuses on pricing of basket Credit Default Swaps. The credit market instruments such as CDSs and CDOs are introduced. The concepts of trading these derivatives in basket CDSs divided into tranches is also of big importance. Dierent pricing models are presented and compared. Those are Semi-Analytic Valuation model with a Copula approach used together with the methods compound and base c

Differential migration by sex, where one sex migrates further than the other, occurs in many bird species. How this pattern evolves is however little understood. The first aim of this study was to investigate the extent of differential migration in the common ringed plover Charadrius hiaticula, breeding in southeast Sweden, and test three main hypotheses (the social dominance, body size and arriva

Vägar till Reform: Hur Transport Hittade Sin Väg in i EU:s Koldioxidmarknad EU:s utsläppshandelssystem har länge undvikit att inkludera vägtransport, trots att den står för en betydande del av Europas koldioxidutsläpp. Detta är förvånande, eftersom klimatkrisen kräver insatser från alla sektorer. Mitt masterarbete undersöker varför vägtransporten ursprungligen exkluderades, vilka utmaningar det This thesis examines why road transport was initially excluded from the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and what factors contributed to its later inclusion in the EU ETS 2. This thesis will examine how environmental, economic, and political factors contributed to the shift in policy through the lens of the theories of liberal Intergovernmentalism (LI) and neofunctionalism. The research uses a

Rewetting is widely promoted as a climate mitigation strategy to preserve soil carbon in drained wetlands, although rewetting may enhance methane production and corresponding emissions. The increase in methane emissions following rewetting might be underestimated without considering near-surface methane oxidation under a fluctuating water table. Here, we refined the methane module in Lund-Potsdam-

Politiska organisationer anställer ofta, och i allt högre utsträckning, utredare och andra kunskapsarbetare för att producera kunskap och politiska förslag, och den svenska fackliga centralorganisationen LO har sedan 1930-talet anställt nationalekonomer och andra samhällsvetare. Genom analys- och presentationsmetoder som liknar den akademiska samhällsvetenskapen, och genom interaktion med talesperPolitical organisations routinely, and increasingly, employ researchers to make knowledge claims and suggest political action. Swedish blue-collar trade union organisation LO has done so since the 1930s, employing economists and other social scientists drawing in part on methods of analysis and presentation similar to academic social science, and in part on interaction with spokespersons for trade

During moult, stressors such as malaria and related haemosporidian parasites (e.g. Plasmodium and Haemoproteus) could affect the growth rate and quality of feathers, which in turn may compromise future reproduction and survival. Recent advances in molecular methods to study parasites have revealed that co-infections with multiple parasites are frequent in bird-malaria parasite systems. However, th

Det är i början av sommaren och solen steker, asfalten ångar av värmen. Med snabba steg springer barnen in under den stora eken och i skuggan är det svalt och skönt. Träd och buskar hjälper till att hålla temperaturen nere på gården samtidigt som det ger skugga över både gården och huset. Barnen fortsätter in bakom trädet, här finns små stigar och buskar där de brukar leka. Gården är stor, det gårIncreased average temperatures, rising sea levels and heat waves are some examples of the consequences of climate change. Cities are particularly vulnerable to climate-related events due to their structure and lack of green and blue spaces causing negative impacts on both the environment and public health. Children are one of the most sensitive groups to heat waves and they spend plenty of time in

Numerous species adopt inducible defence strategies; that is, they have phenotypically plastic traits that decrease the risk of capture and consumption by potential predators. The benefits of expressing alternative phenotypes in high- vs. low-risk environments are well documented. However, inducible anti-predator traits are also expected to incur costs, as they are not expressed when predators are

Body size variation is an enigma. We do not understand why species achieve the sizes they do, and this means we also do not understand the circumstances under which gigantism or dwarfism is selected. We develop size-structured integral projection models to explore evolution of body size and life history speed. We make few assumptions and keep models simple: all functions remain constant across mod
