The aim of this paper is to evaluate potential leading indicators of a recession in Sweden. To answer the question potential leading indicators are first identified with previous findings in literature and with the current state of the Swedish financial system as background. Then these variables will be included in a probit regression at different forecasting horizons. The horizons are one, two an
The human right violations in Kurdish cities in 90s is the focus point of the Kurdish documentary cinema. Although there are several documentary studies on trauma, little attention has been given to experiences of audiences. The aim of this study is to explore the ways in which the audience engages with the documentary in the context of The Well (Bîr, dir. Veysi Altay, 2018), which is one of the i
Strategic decisions on how a company should invest resources is naturally a crucial decision, but for startups this decision is even more important as each small decision will have major repercussions on the longevity of a startup. This study seeks to deepen the understanding of the perceived sustainability of a startup by a customer - since this is a growing customer decision criteria - and h
The aim of the following study is to examine the legal status in Sweden in relation to Onlyfans as well as examining social norms surrounding the platform. The questions at issue regard Onlyfans and the content that creators sell there, in relation to the social norms regarding prostitution. This study also reviews how the content on Onlyfans could be interpreted as selling sexual services in acco

Context. Hot Jupiters (HJs) with close-by planetary companions are rare, with only a handful of them having been discovered so far. This could be due to their suggested dynamical histories, which lead to the possible ejection of other planets. TOI-2109 b is special in this regard because it is the HJ with the closest relative separation from its host star, being separated by less than 2.3 stellar
Production of risks has emerged as one dominating process of contemporary society, and consciousness towards risk is increasing continuously. Travelling being a common practice in today’s society suggests that also participation in travel entails increasing risk, and that risk perceptions are inevitable part of the tourism experience. Therefore, the study aims at finding out what kind of risk perc
To date, the use of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in ecological-model species for validating genotype to phenotype connections has focused primarily on visual phenotypes using G0 mutations, coupled with analyses of resulting mosaic phenotypes. However, studies of physiological phenotypes necessitate germline mutations in order to assess non-visible phenotypic effects, and thus, dedicated efforts to devel
AIM: To study the association between within-person changes in patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) and wish for joint surgery during participation in a digital first-line intervention comprising exercise and education for knee/hip osteoarthritis (OA).METHODS: Retrospective observational registry study. Participants enrolled between 01/06/2018 and 30/10/2021 with follow-up data at 3 months (n=13,961)
A 27-47-GHz differential cascode power amplifier for millimeter-wave 5G new radio applications is presented. The PA is a three-stage design using inductively coupled impedance transformers with 31-dB nominal power gain. A device periphery ratio of 1:2:6 is adopted for predriver, driver, and final stage, respectively. A gain equalization technique was used in the interstage transformers to obtain t
Objectives: Risky alcohol use before surgery is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications and longer hospital stays. Preoperative alcohol interventions can improve surgical outcomes but are not commonly integrated into routine care. This study sought to better understand patient's and provider's perceptions of alcohol-related surgical health and healthcare practices and illu
In Part I, an electrification scheme was described and a simulation of an observed cold-based storm from the U.S. Great Plains was validated with electrical observations. Most charge in the storm was separated by rebounding collisions of secondary ice originating from prior graupel-snow collisions. In this Part II, sensitivity tests are performed with the control simulation (Part I) and influences
BackgroundThe goal of the Fifth Annual Baylor College of Medicine & DNAnexus Structural Variation Hackathon was to push forward the research on structural variants (SVs) by rapidly developing and deploying open-source software. The event took place in-person and virtually in August 2023, when 49 scientists from 14 countries and 8 U.S. states collaboratively worked on projects to address critic
Objective: Late night spontaneous growth hormone (GH) pulses may influence the pituitary GH response to provocation tests. We evaluated GH response during arginine-insulin-tolerance test (AITT) after a GH peak during a short spontaneous nocturnal profile (SSNP) in children with short stature or low growth velocity. Design: Using SSNP and subsequent AITT, we examined 257 children 4–18 years old (13
Global biogeochemical cycles and their interactions are an important parts of climate research. Investigations during the last decades emphasize the key role of diatoms – siliceous phytoplankton – in the silicon (Si) cycle as they are important carbon sequesters in both marine and lacustrine environments. Terrestrial Si cycling and especially fluxes across the vegetation-soil interface are highly
Huntington disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded cytosine–adenine–guanine triplet repeat in the huntingtin gene. The current diagnosis is based on the presence of typical motor signs in combination with a positive gene test. The motor onset of the disease is usually between 30 and 50 years of age, and the disease then progresses over around 20 more years. No
This thesis presents an object-oriented technique for rewriting abstract syntax trees in order to simplify compilation. The technique, Rewritable Reference Attributed Grammars (ReRAGs), is completely declarative and supports both rewrites and computations by means of attributes. We have implemented ReRAGs in our aspect-oriented compiler compiler tool JastAdd II. We present the ReRAG formalism, its
Inom beredskapen mot radiologiska och nukleära olyckor och katastrofer spelar strålningsmätningar en avgörande roll för att ta reda på vad som har hänt och hur farligt det är för människa, djur och natur och på vilket sätt det påverkar miljö och samhällsfunktioner. I Sverige och många andra länder i världen har allmänheten en rättighet att få reda på vad som hänt och vad de utsätts för i ett eventThis thesis describes investigations made on mobile and stationary gammaspectrometry made both under laboratory conditions and in situ. The objective hasbeen to identify and quantify radionuclides in the form of point sources,contamination and widespread deposition in situations where the measurementgeometry is not known beforehand. Both scintillators and semiconductor detectors ofsimilar size wer
