Sound and radio can be used to estimate the distance between a transmitter and a sender by correlating the emitted and received signal. Alternatively by correlating two received signals it is possible to estimate distance difference. Such methods can be divided into methods that are robust to noise and reverberation, but give limited precision and sub-sample refinements that are sensitive to noiseSound and radio can be used to estimate the distance between a transmitter and a sender by correlating the emitted and received signal.

When corporations are faced with accusations of crime, they usually find it necessary to justify their actions to the public, the media and their shareholders. Corporate self-defense, aimed at protecting a corporation’s image and legitimacy, belongs to a broader category of offenders’ denials and neutralizations. The objective of this article is to compile and discuss literature that is of value fWhen corporations are faced with accusations of crime, they usually find it necessary to justify their actions to the public, the media and their shareholders.

In early 2026, the European Union (EU) adopted the Omnibus I proposal to simplify the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by reducing reporting burdens and enhancing competitiveness. However, it has been criticised for weakening sustainability ambitions and increasing uncertainty about future sustainability reporting. This thesis examines how sustainability professionals percei

Co-production, as a mechanism with collaborative and voluntary nature within the service-oriented logic framework, presents different characteristics in the event of system collapse. When the service infrastructure fails, if the authorities withdraw from the frontline, leaving a gap that disrupts the normal contracts of services. This study focuses on the winter disruption at Schiphol Airport in A

Vegetation fire is one of the naturally occurring disturbances within the Earth system, changing vegetation dynamics and modulating carbon storage in the terrestrial biosphere. While fires are essential to many ecosystems, fire dynamics have been increasingly shaped by human actions since the late eighteenth century. The main drivers behind those changes are climate change and direct human activit

This paper adds to the growing body of literature on digitally mediated preaching by using actor–network theory (ANT) in conjunction with Amanda Lagerkvist’s work on digital media as theoretical lenses to describe and discuss what we term “the paradox of (im)perfection”. This paradox refers to the tension between an ideal of perfection and an ideal of imperfection (or vulnerability) as experiencedThis paper adds to the growing body of literature on digitally mediated preaching by using actor–network theory (ANT) in conjunction with Amanda Lagerkvist’s work on digital media as theoretical lenses to describe and discuss what we term “the paradox of (im)perfection”.

AbstractEyestrain is a common issue when performing visually demanding work, often accompanied by neck and shoulder strain, as well as visual problems such as dim vision. The aim of this paper is to investigate the association between eyestrain and musculoskeletal strain, as well as the association between eyestrain and visual symptoms. Two regression analyses were conducted on subjective ratings Eyestrain is a common issue when performing visually demanding work, often accompanied by neck and shoulder strain, as well as visual problems such as dim vision.

Around the 150th anniversary in 1998, historical research showed new interest for the wave of revolutions that swept across Europe in 1848. This research focused on providing a new European frame of interpretation for the events in 1848, questioning the exclusive national historiographical traditions of European history, a field of study already formed by the works of Jean-Baptiste Duroselle in 19

Cryptocurrencies are on the rise, with new financial assets, new frameworks need to be developed. This thesis sets out to the examine the GARCH(1,1), the bivariate-BEKK(1,1), and the Standard stochastic volatility model’s volatility forecasting performance on BTC/USD, where the bivariate model is estimated on both BTC/USD and ETH/USD closing price data. Furthermore, three loss functions are used t

This paper reviews the literature on R&D and productivity to provide a guideline to readers by combining all the findings in one title. According to the results, empirical studies analyse R&D spending from different angles by considering the characteristic of such spending. The results show that return to basic research is higher than return to applied R&D. Furthermore, in order to est

Sweden was one of the first countries in the world to declare that it had a feminist government, following years of high rankings on global gender equality indexes and a relatively stable image of Sweden as a gender equality leader. However, the declaration has been accompanied by scholarly inquiry defying claims connected to Swedish feminist governance, often challenging its transformative capaci

Every third child in Germany has a migration background, which makes social negotiations on the participation of migrants and their descendants in this diverse society increasingly relevant. Therefore, the study examines how Migrant Organisations (MOs) and Post-Migrant Organisations (PMO) engage in contentious politics in the context of this increasing plurality. To do that, the already establishe

This thesis aims to investigate if Moody’s is more accurate than logistic regression and the Merton model in predicting default by firms issuing corporate debt after the financial crisis. This is achieved by comparing the Expected Default Probabilities (EDPs) in Moody’s migration table published in their annual default study reports against the calculated EDPs from logistic regression and the Mert

Self-compassion has not yet been studied in younger children. The aim of this study was to explore self-compassion in children between 10-13 years of age and examine how self-compassion is related to well-being and social perspective-taking. In addition we wanted to explore possible age or sex differences in self-compassion. The participants consisted of 228 children from two elementary schools in
