This study analyzes why right-wing populism has achieved great success in France, unlike in Spain where right-wing populism lacks parliamentary representation. The analysis is theoretical and to some extent statistical and focuses on the economic, social, cultural and political structures of France and Spain, as well as the success of the French Right-wing Party, Front National. By comparing the d

Kvinnans rätt till arbete har inte varit självklar. Historiskt sett var idealet länge att kvinnan skulle vara en god hustru och mor som bidrog till hushål-lets funktion och barnens uppfostran. Med tiden började denna kvinnobild och situation dock förändras och vid 1800-talets mitt skedde ett flertal stora förändringar. Två av dessa var lagreformerna om kvinnlig näringsfrihet samt kvinnans rätt att

Right-wing populism has spread across the European continent during the 21th century, this paper examines if this also is the case on the social media platform Facebook. Through the use of multivariate ordinary linear regression models the thesis seeks to answer if right-wing populist parties and leaders in 12 western European countries generate more followers on their official Facebook accounts t

In myoelectric prosthesis design, there is often a trade-off between control robustness and range of executable movements. As a low movement error rate is necessary in any real application, this often results in a quite severe limitation on the dexterity of the user. One possible remedy for this could come from the use of multi-label machine learning methods, where complex hand movements can be ex

The debate about Daddy Months in the Swedish parental insurance as a method to increase gender equality is lively. Advocates for Daddy Months mean that making a part of the parental insurance only available to father’s, increases gender equality while opponents mean that they restrict individual autonomy. The biggest debate in today’s political philosophy is supposedly between communitarians and

Sedan 1950-talet har omfattningen av anståndsreglerna i skattelagstiftningen utökats och gjorts mindre och mindre restriktiva. Lagstiftaren har gång på gång uttalat en önskan om att utöka möjligheterna till anstånd för att bättre ta tillvara den enskildes intresse av att inte behöva betala felaktigt påförd skatt och gång på gång har reglerna visat sig tillämpas allt för restriktivt vilket i sin tuSince the 1950s, the scope of the tax regulations regarding postponed payment has been expanded and the regulations made less and less restrictive. The legislature has repeatedly expressed a desire to extend the possibility for the individual to be granted a postponed payment in order better to meet the interest of the tax payer not to have to pay undue taxes. Repeatedly the rules have proved too

Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper presents a numerical study on the reduction of vibrations in the ground. The influence of landscape shaping to reduce vibration levels induced by traffic is investi-gated by means of the finite element method with dynamic analyses. Both two-dimensional as well as three-dimensional finite element models are employed for the investigations. A har-monic point force

Anomaly detection is becoming a powerful and necessary component as wireless networks gain popularity. In this paper, we evaluate the efficacy of PCA based anomaly detection for wireless mesh networks. PCA was originally developed for wired networks. Our experiments show that it is possible to detect different types of anomalies in an interference prone wireless environment. However, the sensitivi

The adsorption of CO on Au(310) and Au(321) was studied using a combination of thermal desorption spectroscopy and high resolution core level photoemission spectroscopy. These vicinal Au surfaces both have 6-fold coordinated atoms at the step edges but have a different terrace structure. The CO adsorption behavior was found to be very similar for both surfaces. Three different desorption peaks due

A well crystallized sample of EuAti(2)Ge(2) was synthesized by arc-melting of the elements. The structure was refined on the basis of single crystal X-ray diffractometer data: ThCr2Si2 type, 14/mmm, a = 447.3(1), c = 1034.0(4) pm, wR2 = 0.0575, 148 F-2 values and 9 variables. The gold atoms have tetrahedral germanium coordination (261 pm Au-Ge). These AuGe4/4 tetrahedra share four common edges, le

Understanding design principles of biomolecular recognition is a key question of molecular biology. Yet the enormous complexity and diversity of biological molecules hamper the efforts to gain a predictive ability for the free energy of protein-protein, protein-DNA, and protein-RNA binding. Here, using a variant of the Derrida model, we predict that for a large class of biomolecular interactions,

The goal of this paper is to determine whether the photoplethysmography (PPG) can replace the ECG-based detection of heart rate turbulence. Using the PPG, classification of ventricular premature beats (VPBs) is accomplished with a linear classifier. The two conventional parameters turbulence onset and slope are studied together with a recently introduced parameter characterizing turbulence shape.
