With the present thesis I aim to explore what accounts for fluctuations in capital formation and profitability in Sweden and the UK since 1950. Do expectations rule investments which in turn determine profits, or is it rather profitability that rule expectations and thus investment behaviour? Applying a finite distributed-lag model on a variety of variables, profits emerge as a reliable key factor
The ligand-binding domain (LBD) of PPARγ was studied in complex with the full agonist rosiglitazone in double- and triple-resonance NMR spectrom- etry experiments. The long-term aim was to better understand the structure and dynamics of the complex, and therefore how the transcription factor func- tions in vivo. The protein LBD was expressed in E. coli and complexed with rosiglitazone, and backbon
Agricultural development is widely seen as crucial for poverty reduction and food security. However, the contribution of agricultural interventions to these goals has been mixed. This study evaluates how such interventions influence the livelihood strategies of Ugandan smallholder farmers. By combining insights from the Sustainable Livelihoods and Dynamic Livelihood Strategies Frameworks, a theore
Traditional football analytics largely evaluates players through on-ball events such as shots, passes and dribbles, leaving the much longer periods of off-ball play poorly measured. This thesis develops a spatial framework for evaluating individual player contributions in crossing situations, where a cross is defined as an aerial or driven delivery from a wide area into the central penalty zone.

We identified volatiles from the floral headspace of Yucca filamentosa using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry and analyzed floral scent composition and variation among populations pollinated by different yucca moth species. Twenty-one scent compounds were repeatedly identified and most could be categorized into two major classes: (1) homoterpenes derived from the sesquiterpene alcohol nero

Due to its history, Germany holds a vast number of industrial sites that have long been abandoned and thus, have fallen into oblivion. Albeit their indisputable qualities, they also bear obstacles which entails that greenfield development projects are still dominating Germany’s urban planning processes and the construction industries, thus causing a severe land consumption each day.
