The municipalities in Sweden are the result of a reform executed between the years 1962-1974 in which smaller municipalities were merged with others, to create larger more economically sustainable units. Today the debate, in wheather the municipalities are able to perform their duties towards their citizens, has been revived. The standard for municipal service is set by the more affluent municipal
It is commonly believed that the academic sector does not generate enough value for society. This value is often measured in terms of new firms, patents and products, leading to policy responses which aim to enhance ‘commercialisation’ by academics. However, others maintain that academic research generates benefits in many ways, some of which are difficult to measure, and that policy must look bey
Three primary hypotheses currently prevail for correlations between heterozygosity at a set of molecular markers and fitness in natural populations. First, multilocus heterozygosity- fitness correlations might result from selection acting directly on the scored loci, such as at particular allozyme loci. Second, significant levels of linkage disequilibrium, as in recently bottlenecked-and-expanded
Mass spectrometry is a fundamental tool for discovery and analysis in the life sciences. With the rapid advances in mass spectrometry technology and methods, it has become imperative to provide a standard output format for mass spectrometry data that will facilitate data sharing and analysis. Initially, the efforts to develop a standard format for mass spectrometry data resulted in multiple format
Föreningsfriheten är en viktig del av den västerländska demokratin. Genom denna frihet har medborgare i föreningar möjlighet att samarbeta för att göra gemensam sak av intressen och låta dessa påverka utvecklingen av samhället på en ideell grund. Statens intresse i föreningslivet är åtminstone tveeggat.

The state's interest in associations is at least double-edged. The question of regulating non-profit organisations has been discussed by political parties in Sweden sin
Inflation targeting is a common monetary policy regime. Inflation targets are often flexible in the sense that the central bank allows inflation to temporarily deviate from the target to avoid causing unnecessary volatility in the real economy. In this paper, we propose modeling the degree of flexibility using an autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average (ARFIMA) model. Assuming that tInflation targeting is a common monetary policy regime.
