As specific examples the following pairs of currencies are analyzed: Swedish krona to U.S. dollar (SEK/USD), Swedish krona to Euro (SEK/EUR), Swedish krona to British pound (SEK/GBP), Swedish krona to Japanese Yen (SEK/JPY), Swedish krona to Danish krone (SEK/DKK) and Swedish

Purpose: We will understand and explain Dell’s value gap through an extended intellectual capital theory. This will be done by deriving the value to the different parts of the intellectual capital value scheme. We will also use value scheme to describe the ongoing strategy shift. Methodology: The qualitative method and an abductive reasoning have been employed during the progress. The interview me

This paper examines the Swedish right-wing party Christian Democrats' (Kristdemokraterna) view on privacy, as expressed in the well known and vibrant FRA-debate.

Twelve years ago, eleven European countries voluntarily abandoned their home currencies and joined the Euro. The founding fathers of the Euro believed that creation of the common currency would strengthen integration among the members and catalyze economic convergence progress within the common currency area. This study examines this issue in detail. I focus on labor productivity convergence and s

The topic of social equity in transport planning has been dealt with in particular by authors such as Martens (2012) and Martens and Golob (2012) using a social justice based approach. However, such an approach, whilst valuable and analytically rigorous (based as it is on accessibility modelling), does not consider a wide range of possible other social impacts of transport, as set out in a framewo

Identification of the perivascular compartment as the point of exchange between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and interstitial fluid mediating solute clearance in the brain, named the glymphatic system, has emerged as an important clearance pathway for neurotoxic peptides such as amyloid-beta. However, the foundational science of the glymphatic system is based on rodent studies. Here we investigated w

Functional magnetic resonance imaging has suggested the possibility that hypoglycemia could interfere with neurovascular coupling. Here we discuss the implications of a study by Nippert and colleagues showing that hypoglycemia does not impair neurovascular coupling.

On New Year's Eve 1947, the Danish Catholic priest Peter Schindler moved into the German Priests’ College at the Campo Santo Teutonico, the idyllic German cemetery in the Vatican. He remained there for twenty years, returning to Denmark only in 1964. By then, he was in poor health and passed away three years later.

Fruits and vegetables (F&V) waste in retail stores linked to consumer dissatisfaction has led to an increased interest in new preservation solutions to extend the shelf-life of fresh produce. In this study, the potential of controlled atmosphere (CA) combined with optimal temperature and relative humidity (RH) to extend the shelf-life of fruits and vegetables (F&V) in retail stores for shoReducing fruits & vegetables waste in retail stores with an innovative preservation solution Storing fruits and vegetables under controlled atmosphere and optimal temperature and humidity conditions could help improving consumer satisfaction and visual quality of fruits and vegetables in retail stores. The impact of an innovative solution on the shelf-life of fruits and vegetables and its env

In this thesis, I explore the labor policy design change in the framework of the EU integration process in Georgia. The thesis aims to understand the incentives for recent changes in the labor policy domain covering the years 2014 and 2024, in particular, whether changes were a product of external incentives stemming from EU integration goals or it was the result of internal political will aiming

1. Grassland is an important habitat for butterflies and many other pollinating insects. Over half of the 501 European butterflies use grasslands as one of their main habitats.2. The Grassland Butterfly Index has been adopted by the EU as a key measure of progress towards the target of halting biodiversity loss, restoring nature in agro-ecosystems and reversing the decline in pollinators by 2030,
