Mapping Sustainable Textile Initiatives in the Nordic Countries
Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2023-502/ This report maps existing initiatives in the Nordic countries supporting the transition towards a sustainable and circular textile economy. The mapping acts as a knowledge base to create recommendations for new initiatives under The Nordic Textile Collaboration, where stakeholders across the Nordic fashion and textile industry can come together and shape the future. The Nordic Textile Collaboration is initiated by Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish authorities and funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers. The project addresses the significant environmental impacts associated with the production and consumption of textiles, with the aims of reducing unnecessary consumption, extending the lifetime of textiles, promoting circular business models, stimulating digitalization and traceability in the fashion and textile industry, supporting increased and improved collection, sorting, reuse and recycling of textiles.
Re-Inventing Labour Law Enforcement
Based on author's thesis (doctoral - Rosklide Universitet, 2016) under title: Reinventing tools for law enforcement: a socio-legal investigation of the promotion of workers' protection among Chinese firms in Prato, Italy.
Global Health Law and Policy
"Globalization has unleashed new health threats, connecting societies in shared vulnerability to common challenges, including infectious disease, non-communicable disease, environmental pollution, injuries, and inequitable poverty. The COVID-19 pandemic has made clear the cataclysmic health threats of a rapidly globalizing world and the limitations of domestic law and policy in addressing economic, social, and political determinants of health. No country acting on its own can stem major health hazards that go well beyond national borders. Where national laws cannot reach threats beyond national borders, global law is necessary to promote health and justice. If globalization has presented global challenges to disease prevention and health promotion, global health law offers the promise of bridging national boundaries to promote health and reduce health inequities"--
Enhancing Carbon Sequestration in Forests, Agricultural Lands and Wetlands in the Nordic Countries: Technical Measures and Policy Instruments
Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2021-537/ The project reviews a range of relevant land-use measures, their climate mitigation effects and the associated policy instruments, with a focus on Denmark, Finland and Sweden. It identifies alternative policy instruments that can be introduced to further augment carbon sequestration in the LULUCF sector in the Nordic countries. Key findings of the project are 1) Several land-use measures relevant for climate mitigation exist (e.g. measures on organic soils, afforestation) although the implementations are rarely explicitly driven by climate goals; 2) Policy instruments are currently limited and less diverse in their forms; 3) Alternative policy instruments include performance based incentive mechanisms, carbon rent approach, and market based instruments. Follow-up research is needed to support, incentivize and augment climate mitigation in the LULUCF sector in the Nordic region.

Den danske numismatiker Julius Wilcke beskriver den tid i Danmarks mønthistorie, hvor kampen mellem specier, kroner og kurant var afsluttet med sidstnævnte møntsorts sejr. ”Kurantmønten 1726-1788” udkom første gang i 1927.

FODSPOR I SNEEN
Hvad nu, hvis ... Stort set hvert eneste kontinent på Jorden har sine myter og historier om vældige abelignende væsener, de såkaldte primat-kryptider, som bebor – eller engang beboede – fjerne afkroge af vildmarken, langt borte fra civilisationen. I denne bog omtales nogle få eksempler: I Himalaya kalder sherpaerne væsenet for Yeti. I Pamirs og Tien Shans isverdener kalder nomaderne det for Almasti – og i Nordamerikas vildmark har indianerne i århundreder kendt det under navnet Sasquatch. Men hvad er myte, og hvad er virkelighed? Spørgsmålet er umuligt at besvare entydigt, og det er måske heller ikke det mest interessante. Det er til gengæld de mange fortællinger om disse mystiske eksistenser, som ikke defineres som mennesker – men ej heller som dyr.
Transnationalisation and Legal Actors
Transnational tendencies have led to a pluralistic legal environment in which emerging and established legal actors, regulatory levels and types of legal norms co-exist, compete and interact in complex ways. This challenges and changes not only how legal norms are created, applied and enforced but also when these actors, norms and processes are considered legitimate. The book investigates how states and non-state actors interact in transnational settings and pays attention to the understudied question of what effect transnational tendencies have on the legitimacy of legal actors, norms and processes. It seeks to confront three fundamental questions: Has legitimacy significantly changed? Who ...
Re-Inventing Labour Law Enforcement
This monograph investigates current issues in labour law enforcement from a socio-legal perspective. It analyses how local Italian enforcement actors promote the protection of workers in Prato – a city that in recent decades has seen a significant influx of Chinese migrants who run small workshops as part of the local clothing industry. Many of the Chinese firms in Prato fail to live up to core labour standards, such as maximum working hours, health and safety at work and payment of social security contributions. The book analyses the strategies and practices employed by three local enforcement actors (labour inspectors, labour unionists and a new type of labour law consultant) in their ef...
