This article distills the vast literature on Common Correlated Effects (CCE), initiated by the seminal contribution of Pesaran (2006), into five practical lessons. We provide a concise overview of the CCE framework and describe the reasons for its popularity in empirical (macro-) panel data research. The lessons we draw focus on aspects that have received substantial methodological attention, but
Alternative Economic Models (AEMs) are theoretical frameworks that, if implemented, could fundamentally transform economic systems by aligning financial objectives with sustainability goals. Conducting rigorous research on future-oriented AEMs and other complex sustainability systems presents challenges, particularly due to the exploration of largely unverifiable future possibilities. Qualitative
The article discusses the development and application of the so-called “stigma engagement strategy (SES)” in interviews with stigmatized study populations, drawing on an interview study with Swedish men who have paid for sex. SES is a qualitative methodological approach that utilizes external sources of stigmatizing narratives, such as newspaper articles and columns, as textual probes within inter
Introduction Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a major global healthcare challenge. This is, in part, due to the lack of treatment response and chronic course of MDD. Such a course of illness is often termed treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and is seen in over one-Third of people with MDD. Reasons for treatment resistance are not well established, nor is the definition of TRD. Duration and se
Developing and validating sensitive visual read algorithms for assessing Alzheimer disease-related tau in tau PET imaging is imperative, considering the implementation of the methodology in clinical practice and trials. Our aim was to compare 2 visual read algorithms for tau PET images to semiquantitative measurements and plasma phospho-tau 217 (p-tau217) status. Methods: In total, 1,654 participa
Biobased polyesters are emerging as sustainable alternatives for hot-melt adhesives (HMAs) owing to their tunable adhesion properties, facile processing, and versatile end-of-life options. Here, we report on the design of low-temperature (100 °C) HMAs, derived from oxygen-rich lignin-based copolyesters synthesized via copolymerization of a syringic acid-derived aromatic monomer with biobased aliph
Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka skönlitteraturens funktion i läromedel i svenska och huruvida kunskapskravets term centrala verk sammanfaller med kanoniserad litteratur. Specifikt har tre läromedel som säger sig täcka hela gymnasiekursen Svenska 1 undersökts: Svenska 1 helt enkelt (2018, NA-förlag), Språket och berättelsen 1 (2015, Gleerups) samt Formativ svenska 1 (2017, Liber). S
The paper analyzes the determinants of non-performing loans in 19 European banks in Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain based on quarterly data between 2006–2018. We implement a panel data model with interactive effects, which accounts for unobserved heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence. The estimation approach we employ uses an analytical and iterative bias correction based on the work of B
The reassignment method is a technique for improving the concentration of signals in spectrograms and other time-frequency representations (TFR). It achieves this by displacing the points in a TFR according to the reassignment vector for every point. By doing so, the reassignment method gives perfect concentration of infinite constant frequency sinusoids, impulses and linear chirps. A downside to
This thesis aims to investigate the different mechanisms that Chinese companies in green industries used to acquire technological capabilities and how they changed over time. The thesis also aims to examine how the geographical pattern in outbound Chinese greenfield foreign direct investment has changed over time. By examining the inbound and outbound greenfield foreign direct investment pattern i
Public participation during urban development is key for setting a project up for success and for supporting sustainable growth, but current detailed development plans available in paper-based 2D format are difficult for the public to understand. The literature has shown that the introduction of 3D visualizations can improve citizens’ understanding of a plan proposal; however, moving from static 2
There has been little empirical study of the relationship between remittance inflows and economic growth, especially with a focus in Asia and the Pacific (APAC) region. In this paper, this relationship for 23 APAC economies is examined. A panel data set of remittances and financial development indices for the period 1990 – 2017 is set up to explore the impact of financial development on remittance
Denna kvalitativa intervjustudie undersöker politiskt arbete utfört av personer som upplever attraktion till fler än ett kön, inom organisationer eller kontexter som arbetar för HBTQ-frågor. Studiens syfte är för det första att undersöka hur politiskt arbete förstås av personer som utför det. För det andra är syftet med studien att bidra till forskningen om personer som upplever attraktion till fl
I delar av Danmarks (Sjælland) grundvatten har det hittats nickel- och arsenikhalter över gränsvärdena bestämda av World Health Organization (WHO). Där har mineralet pyrit undersökts och visat sig innehålla dessa ämnen. Förhöjda halter av arsenik har även upptäckts i skånskt grundvatten av Sveriges geologiska undersökning (SGU). Kalkberggrunden i Danmark och Sverige, som har bildats på liknande säThe groundwater in parts of Danmark (Sjælland) is known to exceed the World Health Organizations limits for arsenic and nickel contents in drinking water according to the Danish Geological Survey (Flindt Jörgensen, 2005a; Flindt Jörgensen, 2005b; Stockmarr 2005). In groundwater in Scania the Swedish Geological Survey has found exceeding contents of arsenic. Therefore, this study investigated pyrit
The fire-bellied toad (Bombina bombina) is an amphibian that since its national classification as an endangered species in 2005 (NT- Near Threatened) has increased in population size and distribution. Today the population in Sweden is considered viable since 2010 (LC- Least Concern) and it is possible that constructed wetlands in Scania have had positive effects on the fire-bellied toad. The impor
In 2011 the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) released new data for the streamflow in the Columbia River. This extends the previous database record (1928-1999) to include the last nine years (1999-2008). Thomson Reuters Point Carbon are using this database to apply their proprietary hydrological HBV-type energy model in the Columbia River and therefore need a complete understanding of the
Whereas theoretical attacks on standardized crypto primitives rarely lead to actual practical attacks, the situation is different for side-channel attacks. Improvements in the performance of side-channel attacks are of utmost importance.In this paper, we propose a framework to be used in key-recovery side-channel attacks on CCA-secure post-quantum encryption schemes. The basic idea is to construc
Effective medical education relies on clearly defined learning objectives that foster deep and meaningful learning. This article presents a consensus-driven proposal for national learning objectives in dermatology and venereology within Sweden’s new medical programme qualifying for licensure. The primary aim is to harmonize educational standards across all medical faculties and to establish a comm
