Context. To use the data in the future Gaia catalogue it is important to have accurate estimates of the statistical uncertainties and correlations of the errors in the astrometric data given in the catalogue. Aims. In a previous paper we derived a mathematical model for computing the covariances of the astrometric data based on series expansions and a simplified attitude description. The aim of th

Purpose: To investigate the use of different modes of transport and long-term changes among stroke survivors with cognitive functional limitations (CFLs), and to study differences among sub-groups (decreased/ceased vs. unchanged and increased public transport use) regarding physical functional limitations (PFLs), CFLs, depression, and social activity outside home. Method: Survey of 79 individuals

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between maximum oxygen uptake (VO2PEAK) and body fat in young children on a population-based level. Methods: Participants were 586 children (311 boys and 275 girls) aged 6.8 +/- 0.4 years, recruited from a population-based cohort. VO2PEAK was measured by indirect calorimetry during a maximal exercise test. Percent body fat (BF%) wa

Background: Respiratory agents may be detected in the oropharynx of healthy individuals. The extent of this condition and the reasons behind it are largely unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the factors associated with the presence of respiratory agents in the oropharynx of adolescents healthy enough to attend school activities. Methods: On a single day in December, samples from

Environmental impacts from incineration, decentralised composting and centralised anaerobic digestion of solid organic household waste are compared using the EASEWASTE LCA-tool. The comparison is based on a full scale case study in southern Sweden and used input-data related to aspects such as source-separation behaviour, transport distances, etc. are site-specific. Results show that biological tr

This essay investigates the impact of income inequality on economic growth in developed countries. The link is primarily investigated through the possible influence of income inequality on the four growth channels savings, human capital, population growth and labor force productivity. A theoretical model, based on an extended version of the Romer model, is presented, where a higher degree of incom

This paper examines the broadband market in the Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland). We will show that all mentioned countries have had similar developments in the usage of this technology. An analysis of the market shares in each country will be performed in order to find the main companies in each country. This will be followed by a regression analysis to explain the pri

This project was done for the company Beijer Electronics Products AB and the task was given by the hardware development department of the company. The project was about developing a concept proposal for a new generation operator panels. This was done to inspire the product developers at Beijer Electronics with innovative ideas before the actual operator panel development. More in detail the object

Prior to the accomplishment of this research, the compatibility of the classic e-servicescape conceptual model in the context Taobao and TMall in China were rarely found among existing e-servicescape literatures due to the standardization taken by both online platforms towards the establishment of individual webshops. Meanwhile, the conceptualization of social factors as social dimension of e-serv

Purpose: The current thesis assignment aims to quantitatively verify systematic character of default risk and the statistical quality of the competing three- and four-factor asset pricing models. Method: The experimental design applied to this study is premised on the three-factor model of Fama and French enhanced by default risk factor. The study utilizes the factor mimicking portfolio technique

Syftet med denna studie är att granska fenomenet mediedrev. Fokus har legat på hur ett mediedrev är utformat och hur detta kan påverka den allmänna uppfattningen av en händelse. Studien har tagit avstamp i det specifika drevet mot Ola Lindholm, i vilket den folkkäre programledaren och chefredaktören blev offer för ett massivt drev efter att misstankar väckts om att han brukat kokain. Drevet result

Parternas tillgång till bevis i skiljeförfarande är ofta avgörande för tvistens utgång. I synnerhet är anskaffningen av skriftlig bevisning essentiell då den av skiljenämnden generellt tillmäts ett högre bevisvärde än övriga bevismedel. Det huvudsakliga syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om parter i ett skiljeförfarande som äger rum i Sverige kan anskaffa erforderlig bevisning utan att tidsåtgåThe parties’ access to evidence in arbitration is of major importance to the outcome of almost every dispute. The taking of documentary evidence is of particularly importance because of the high evidential value it is given by the arbitrators. The main purpose of the essay is to determine if the parties to arbitration in Sweden can gather adequate evidence without having to spend too much time and

The topic of this work is the correlation between the protection of tax base by transfer princing rules and EU Law requirements. In particular, the question that wil be dealt with in this paper is how the burdern of proof that the arm's length principle was (not) followed by the taxpayer should be allocated in EU Law Context? Firstly, the EU Law framwork that is relevant for transfer pricing r

In recent years, as Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning technologies have advanced, there has been increasing interest in the study of energy-efficient and flexible architectures for embedded systems. To bridge the performance gap between microprocessors and memory systems, Near-Data Processing (NDP) was introduced. Although some works have implemented NDP, few of them utilize the microp

Reaching the targets of the Paris Agreement requires acceleration of low-carbon energy transitions. At the same time, it is not fully understood why some technologies spread more rapidly and widely than others. This thesis advances our understanding of the diffusion of large-scale low-carbon technologies by bridging technology diffusion studies and political economy of transitions. Through combini
