Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Målsättningen med detta projekt var att undersöka vilka trädslag som dominerar vid naturlig föryngring samt vilka faktorer som påverkar föryngringsresultatet. Bakgrunden till projektet är en önskan från Skogstyrelsen i Höör att få en bättre uppfattning om hur situationen ser ut i skogarna då allt fler skogsägare väljer naturlig föryngring på sina marker. Syftet This is a study of natural regeneration of trees in central Scania. Our goals with the study were to investigate what species of tree that dominates natural regeneration and which factors affect if a clear-cut forest will have a successful regeneration. The factors we studied in relation to plant density was climate, soil water, soil preparation, time for soil preparation, size of the clear-cut ar

This paper analyses the effectiveness of different methods to estimate Value-at-Risk (VaR) of VN-index, proxy of a Vietnamese bank’s portfolio. Both parametric and non-parametric approaches are employed to estimate daily VaRs for two sets of data, one of those sets is 8 months behind the other. We find that non-parametric methods are more reliable than parametric methods when employed to estimate

This paper deals with the distinction between law and fact. In the article ‘The myth of the law-fact distinction’ (Allen and Pardo, 2003a), Ronald Allen and Michael Pardo argue that there is no ontological, epistemological or analytical distinction between law and fact. Instead, they claim that the distinction ought to be understood pragmatically, by considering whether the judge or jury is in the

Digital twins, which are a new concept in industrial control systems (ICS), play a key role in realizing the vision of a smart factory, and they can have different effective use cases. With digital twins, we have virtual replicas of physical systems so that they precisely mirror the internal behavior of the physical systems. Hence, synchronization is necessary to keep the states of digital twins i

The raison d’être of the humanities is widely held to reside in its unique ability to generate critical thinking and critical thinkers. But what is “critical thinking?” Is it a generalized mode of reasoning or a form of political critique? How does it relate to discipline-specific practices of scholarly pursuit? How does it relate to discourses of “post-truth” and “alternative facts”? How is it be

 While greater incentives and new funding models for antibiotic drug develooment are needed, it is unclear whether a system dependent on endlessly churning out new and ever more expensive medicines will be  economically feasible and scientifically possible in the long term. Greater priority should therefore be given to implementing more permanent solutions that are not limited to slowing resistanc

A numerical study was conducted to investigate the mechanism of laminar flow and heat transfer enhancement in an interrupted microchannel heat sink (IMCHS) with different shaped ribs at Reynolds number ranging from 100 to 900. The global flow features, heat transfer and friction for IMCHS with no ribs, rectangle ribs, triangle ribs and trapezoid ribs are detailed compared. The results show that th

We implement the Grain-128AEAD stream cipher in hardware, using a 65 nm library. By exploring different optimization techniques, both at RTL level but also during synthesis, we first target high throughput, then low power. We reach over 33 GB/s targeting a high-speed design, at expense of power and area. We also show that, when targeting low power, the design only requires 0.23 $${\upmu }$$W runni

Advances in computer-assisted linguistic research have been greatly influential in reshaping linguistic research. With the increasing availability of interconnected datasets created and curated by researchers, more and more interwoven questions can now be investigated. Such advances, however, are bringing high requirements in terms of rigorousness for preparing and curating datasets. Here we prese

Protein was recovered from five varieties and a mixed blend of cold-pressed rapeseed press cake by leaching and precipitation in a water-based process, and the protein recovery yield varied from 26–41% depending on variety. Exposure for heat during protein recovery severely reduced the rapeseed proteins’ ability to stabilize the oil–water interface of emulsion droplets. Protein extract from Lyside

This study explores the experiences and reflections of staff in intellectual disability (ID) services concerning ageing with ID. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 24 staff members in group homes and daily activity centres. The findings showed that the staff were uncertain about the signs of ageing in people with intellectual disabilities; they compared the life conditions of these people

This Handbook aims to provide practical guidance on good treaty practice. It presents a range of examples from the practice of several States and international organisations and explains the actions that need to be taken to create a new treaty, bring it into force, operate it, amend it and wind it up, on both the international and the domestic plane. It also explores what constitutes good treaty p

Previous studies have shown that measurements of beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) and bottlenose dolphin (Tur-siops truncatus) echolocation signals at off-axis angles may be well modeled using a Gaussian bell function or a chirped Gaussian function as envelope. In this paper, we apply a novel technique, the matched window reassignment, for investigation of a range of models of dolphin echoloca
