We evaluate the Swedish inflation targeting regime adopted in 1993-1995 using a novel approach based on a unique data set on the characteristics of collective wage agreements between 1908 and 2008. We find that the inflation targeting regime of 1995-2008 stands out as an exceptionally stable policy regime as judged by the willingness of wage contract-makers to repeatedly commit to three-year non-i

LTH har tidigare rapporterats vara den del av Lunds universitet som är svårast att vara på för homo- och bisexuella studenter. Syftet med den här undersökningen är att öka kunskapen om hur heteronormativiteten tar sig uttryck på LTH. I oktober 2011 mailade jag ut frågor som besvarades av 8 LTH-studenter, samtliga identifierar sig som homo-sexuella. Deras berättelser och erfarenheter ligger till gr

In making capacity estimates and cost calculations in the manufacturing industry, many products and production systems are often involved, making the data in their totality difficult to grasp. Introducing the concept of the characteristic part, which is a fabricated part seen as representative of all parts produced in terms of demand, setup time, cycle time, average batch size and total number of

De förenade målen C-92/09 och C-93/09, Volker und Markus Schecke, gäller uppgifter som jordbruksstöd till enskilda bönder som publicerats på internet. Målen avser en rad frågor från en tysk domstol som tagit en klart kritisk ställning till hur EU:s sekundärrätt har utformats i förhållande till skyddet för privatliv och skyddet för personuppgifter. EU-domstolen ansåg att kritiken (åtminstone delvis

Abstract in UndeterminedIn the humanitarian context, gender mediates access to aid. The gender of the beneficiary is not only intrinsically linked with her/his disaster vulnerability (Enarson, 2002), but also to their ability to physically access aid distribution points (Lutz and Gady, 2004) and even to be considered a beneficiary in the first place. There is, however, yet another factor mitigatin

The major objective of this thesis was to produce descriptions of the land vegetation-cover in Europe for selected time windows of the Holocene (6000, 3000, 500, 200, and 50 calendar years before present (BP=1950)) that can be used in climate modelling. Land vegetation is part of the climate system; its changes influence climate through biogeophysical and biogeochemical processes. Land use such as

Trellis decoding is widely used, in this present day of communication and data storage, in a wide variety of applications such as decoding convolution codes, baseband detection for wireless systems and also to detect recorded data. This is achieved by implementing the Viterbi algorithm. This paper presents various methodologies of reducing the computational complexity of the branch metric unit in
