Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen innehåller ett inledningskapitel följt av fyra separata studier. Studierna behandlar olika aspekter av humankapital, begåvning och immigration. I den första studien, Ability and Rates of Return to Schooling ? making use of the Swedish Enlistment Battery Test, används det svenska mönstringstestet för att skatta avkastningen på utbildningen för individer medThis thesis consists of an introductory chapter followed by four separate papers. The papers deal with various aspects of human capital, ability and migration. Using the Swedish Military Enlistment test, the first paper, Ability and Rates of Return to Schooling ? making use of the Swedish Enlistment Battery Test, estimates the return to schooling for individuals belonging to different parts of th

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a potentially fatal vector-borne zoonotic disease, which has become an increasing public health problem in the north-western part of Iran. This work presents an environmental health modelling approach to map the potential of VL outbreaks in this part of the country. Radial basis functional link networks is used as a data-driven method for predictive mapping of VL in

I september 1931 tvingades Sverige överge guldmyntfoten. Landet bytte myntfot – från guld till papper – med stabilisering av prisnivån som officiellt mål. Det var första och enda gången ett land försökt sig på något sådant. Sverige anses därigenom ha föregripit den inflationsmålspolitik som sedan 1990-talet bedrivs i ett antal länder, däribland Sverige. I denna bok undersöks hur den nya penning-

This thesis investigates the performance dynamics of serial acquirers in the Swedish market, specifically focusing on their ability to realize cost synergies over time. Through an empirical analysis of Swedish firms engaging in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) between 2010 and 2019, we aimed to determine whether serial acquirers exhibit improved synergy realization in subsequent acquisitions com

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka förekomsten av pares på n. laryngeus superior hos patienter som genomgått en thyroidektomi. Studien syftade även till att undersöka om en dylik pares kan upptäckas vid flera olika pre- och postoperativa undersökningsmetoder samt hur patienterna upplever sin röst före och efter operation. Metod: I studien ingick 20 deltagare. Samtliga deltagare genomförde

The field of mass evacuation has existed for a long time. Already during the Roman Empire era evacuation problematic was considered. In modern times the field has gained more attention during the last couple of decades, especially for sports grounds and stadiums. Through analysis of some well-known historical crowd disasters and through a literature survey the aim has been to compile the most impo

Svensk populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Fjärranalys av skogsskövling längs med den trans-amzoniska motorvägen Skogsskövling är ett av de större miljöproblemen vi har idag. Speciellt snabb har skövlingen varit i Amazonas regnskog, där minst tjugo procent försvunnit de senaste 40 åren. Fjärranalys används för att uppskatta skogsskövling längs med den transamazoniska motorvägen (BR230). Analysen utDeforestation is one of the biggest environmental challenges today. Especially severe has the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest been where at least 20% has been cleared the last 40 years. A time series analysis of deforestation rates between 1984 and 2013 has been performed on several sites close to the Trans-Amazonian highway BR230 in the Amazon and Para states. This is done by applying a su

I denna uppsats undersöks hur musikkreatörer upplever de förändringar som skett i musikbranschen de senaste tio åren till följd av den tekniska utvecklingen i form av bland annat gratisteknologier och tjänster som Spotify samt fildelning. I undersökningen har kvalitativa metoder i form av intervjuer använts. Vi har utgått från ett antal teoretiska begrepp som exempelvis medielogik, mediekonvergens

A detailed sedimentological study was made on six section walls in the Tvärkroken gravel pit, Idre, west-central Sweden. Based on sediment characteristics, three sedimentary units, units 1-3, were identified. The lowest unit, unit 1, was formed by deposition from sediment-loaded underflows into a stagnant basin. A gradual decrease in water depth is indicated in the upper part of this unit. Post-de

Background Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer related deaths. For diagnosis, predicting the outcome of the disease, and for assessing potential new biomarkers, pathologists and researchers routinely analyze histological samples. Morphological and molecular information may be integrated by aligning microscopic histological images in a multiplex fashion. This process is usually

Antologin ger en bred bild av socialt arbete i civilsamhället, som både ”röst” och ”service”, och i olika grad av organiserade former. Här synliggörs både vad vi kallar ”Vi- för-dem”- organisationer som har hemlöshet, vård och arbetsträning på sin agenda, liksom ”Vi-för-oss”- organisationer såsom kvinnojourer och verksamheter som samlar människor med psykisk skörhet eller annan funktionsvariation.

Background: Plasma copeptin, a marker of vasopressin, is associated with renal function decline in the general population. Our aim was to study the links between elevated copeptin and future risk of kidney disease.Methods: Copeptin was measured in a sample of the Malmö Preventive Project (MPP) Reinvestigation (n = 5158) and in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Cardiovascular Cohort (MDC-CC) (n = 5162). Ac

Syftet med detta uppdrag har varit att utvärdera hur data på vinterförluster hos honungsbin i Sverige samlas in och analyseras, samt ge förslag på förbättringarav övervakning och analys.Denna rapport innehåller• En sammanställning av faktorer som kan påverka vinterförluster hos honungsbin under svenska förhållanden• En beskrivning av nuvarande sätt att rapportera och analysera vinterförluster i SvThis report evaluates current collection and use of data on winter loss in honey bees in Sweden and is a commission from the Swedish Professional BeekepersAssociation. It includes an overview of factors which may influence winter loss in honey bees in Sweden. In Sweden, data on winter loss is collected by twoinstances, the COLOSS survey and the Swedish Beekeepers Association (SBR). We identify sev

BACKGROUND: No practical tool quantitates the risk of circulatory-etiology death (CED) immediately after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients without ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. We developed and validated a prediction model to rapidly determine that risk and facilitate triage to individualized treatment pathways. METHODS: With the use of INTCAR (International Cardia

One of the biggest challenges in urban densifications is securing adequate daylight access. This study examines the potential of using semantic 3D city models as input to daylight simulations. It is focusing on investigating input data requirements to these simulations from a geodata, 3D city model specification and measuring guideline perspective. To achieve this, geodata simulation input require

Communication between cells located in different parts of an organism is often mediated by membrane-enveloped nanoparticles, such as extracellular vesicles (EVs). EV binding and cell uptake mechanisms depend on the heterogeneous composition of the EV membrane. From a colloidal perspective, the EV membrane interacts with other biological interfaces via both specific and non-specific interactions, w

afe and optimized utilization of waste-to-energy (WtE) fly ash (FA) requires a detailed understanding of the physicochemical properties of its metal constituents. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the chemical form of Zn in fine (<1 μm) and coarse (>1 μm) FA particles, hypothesized to originate from different formation mechanisms. Size-selective aerosol sampling was performed during
