Over recent years Genuine Savings (GS) has emerged as an indicator for weak sustainability and predictor of socio-economic well-being. This paper presents the first long-term GS estimates for Norway, covering the period from 1865 until 2019. The preliminary results indicate unsustainable development throughout most of the period leading up to the Second World War and sustainable development ever s
Objective: To determine the role of inflammatory biomarkers at 2 years post–anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury to predict radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–defined knee OA at 5 years postinjury, with a secondary aim of estimating the concordance of inflammatory biomarkers assessed by MRI and synovial fluid (SF) analysis. Methods: We studied 113 patient
Using a highly comprehensive new data set on Swedish researchers, we investigate the effects of inter-university mobility on researcher productivity. Our study suggests substantial gains from mobility on scientific output. The empirical analysis addresses selection using inverse probability treatment censoring weights. We find that mobility induces a long-lasting increase in a researcher's publica
Experimental Evolution: From hermaphrodite to two sexes! When one hears the word evolution most of us think of Charles Darwin and his theory of natural selection. He once said, ”It is not the strongest of species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change”. We will get back to that, but a very important thing here is that the timeframe he is talking about is mil
Money illusion was for a long time believed by most economists to be non-existent, despite previous large support for it, because it did not fit the neo-classical model of the rational individual. Using a survey to test students’ understanding of inflation as proxy for money illusion, this thesis aims to establish the existence of money illusion and develop an understanding of why some students ex
Det straffrättsliga orsaksbegreppet har främst diskuterats i rättsvetenskaplig doktrin, eftersom det saknas en legaldefinition och mängden rättspraxis kring begreppet är begränsad i Sverige. År 2024 kom dock ett avgörande, NJA 2024 s. 36, där Högsta domstolen för första gången uttryckligen diskuterade orsaksbegreppet. Rättsfallet handlade om alternativ kausalitet i form av alternativa dödsorsakThe concept of causation in criminal law has been discussed mainly in legal doctrine, since there is no legal definition, and the amount of case law regard ing the concept is limited, in Sweden. In 2024, a decision was made, NJA 2024 s. 36, where the Swedish Supreme Court explicitly discussed the con cept of causation for the first time. The case was about alternative causality in the terms of
Following trends in local and global environments, it is obvious that many companies are faced with difficulties to survive in this competitive environment. Business Model Innovation (BMI) is the key to the firm’s long-term success. The case study of BTC d.d., has been made to give an example how firms should be aware of their weaknesses and strengths in order to constantly innovate their business
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze whether the associations between perceived environmental and individual characteristics and perceived walking limitations in older people differ between those with intact and those with poorer lower extremity performance.METHOD: Persons aged 75 to 90 (N= 834) participated in interviews and performance tests in their homes. Standard questionnaires wer
The interest in economic evaluation of alternative strategies for haemophilia treatment has increased through the years. Few studies have actually been undertaken, however, and most of them have been simple cost-minimization or cost-effectiveness analyses. From the perspective of the binational project 'Treatment strategies for severe haemophilia - prophylaxis vs. on-demand', the present paper dis
Why do conspiracists like QAnon believe this stuff? Perhaps studies of the anthropology of belief can help us. Short version appeared in Focaal blog, August 2021. This version has extended bibliography on conspiracy theory research.
In the brain, focal ischemia results in a local region of cell death and disruption of both local and remote functional neuronal networks. Tissue reorganization following stroke can be limited by factors such as extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules that prevent neuronal growth and synaptic plasticity. The brain's ECM plays a crucial role in network formation, development, and regeneration of the c
BACKGROUND: Although patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) should stop smoking, some do not. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, we evaluated the effect of the inhaled glucocorticoid budesonide in patients with mild COPD who continued smoking. After a six-month run-in period, we randomly assigned 1277 subjects (mean age, 52 years; mean forced expiratory volume in one
Existing oculoplastic reconstructive surgical techniques are based on empirical knowledge and were established long before perfusion monitoring was possible. It is believed that an avascular graft should always be placed on a vascular bed or flap and also that the viable length of a flap depends on the width of its pedicle. The actual role of the length, width and thickness of a random flap in its
Viral triggers at the intestinal mucosa can have multiple global effects on intestinal integrity, causing elevated intestinal barrier strength and relative protection from subsequent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) induction in various models. As viruses can interfere with the intestinal immune system both directly and indirectly through commensal bacteria, cause-effect relationships are difficul

Action plan to prevent conflicts Faculty Of f ice Action plan to prevent and manage conflicts between supervisors and doctoral students INTRODUCTION During research studies, differences of opinion often arise between supervisors and doctoral students. They can sometimes develop into conflicts which, in the worst cases, become aggravated and have negative consequences on the doctoral student, the s
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
