The focus of this paper is on the relationship between U.S. interest rates and real GDP per capita growth in emerging markets. The analysis of the paper seeks to determine if the relationship is negative and non-linear in nature as postulated by the paper’s two hypotheses. Three panel data regressions using the same dependent variable, real GDP per capita growth rate, but different explanatory var

3AbstractThis study primarily aims at identifying whether the Swedish excise tax on certain electronic products have had an effect regarding the chemical content of such products since its implementation in mid-2017. The tax is meant to reduce the presence of dangerous flame retardants in the affected products, that otherwise risk harming the public or the environment. Potential negative effects o

Landslide susceptibility models (LSMs) are essential to mitigate the danger of landslides, and with a changing climate posing potential risks to model accuracy, it is vital to understand the role that precipitation plays within LSMs and the effect shifting climatic conditions may have on model accuracy. This study produced a logistic regression LSM in the Blue Ridge Mountain region of North Caroli

On 1 April 2015, the EU milk quotas were abolished after 30 years in force. The purpose of this paper is to assess the Intra-Union trade effects of the reform, using the gravity model of trade. In particular, the aim is to find out whether competitive Member States have started to export more dairy products as compared to the non-competitive Member States following the reform. In order to perfor

För den spirande miljömedvetenheten på 1960-talet måste det har tett sig uppenbart att den socialistiska rörelsen – på båda sidor om verkliga och ideologiska murar – prioriterade sysselsättning och växande (privat och offentligt) konsumtionsutrymme långt före ekologiska hållbarhetsfrågor, och trots att miljöpolitik nu har lagts till andra politikområden har den prioritetsordningen knappast ändrats

Issue of study: The Swedish dairy company Vattnadahl is currently going through extensive changes, battling new market demands and internal reorganizations. As a consequence, the organization is facing challenges related to its organizational identity. From a theoretical perspective, organizational identity consists of an internal and an external part that together dynamically construct the identi

Increased platelet destruction is central in the pathogenesis of immune thrombocytopenia. However, impaired platelet production is also relevant and its significance underlies the rationale for treatment with thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs). Previous studies have associated enhanced complement activation with increased disease severity. Additionally, treatment refractoriness has been de

Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute self-limiting inflammatory vasculitis affecting predominantly medium-sized arteries, particularly the coronary arteries. A number of recent studies conducted in different European countries have demonstrated alarmingly high coronary complications despite treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). These high complication rates now emphasize the n

Aims: A single cryoballoon (CB) application per vein for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) could save time and was therefore compared to the standard approach of two consecutive CB applications for acute and long-term efficacy and safety.Methods and results: Patients with symptomatic AF were randomized to a single CB application per vein guided by an Achieve®

Popular Abstract in Swedish (Summary in Swedish) Urininkontinens är ett stort folkhälsoproblem. Ungefär 10 % av kvinnor i 40-årsåldern är drabbade och andelen inkontinenta ökar med ökande ålder. Den vanligaste formen av urininkontinens är så kallad ansträngningsinkontinens med de typiska symptomen urinläckage vid hosta, tunga lyft och gymnastik. I uttalade fall kan dock läckage uppstå redan vid daThe etiology of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is unclear. By linking three nationwide medical registries we evaluated maternal and obstetric factors associated with later SUI surgery. Surgery for SUI was strongly associated with vaginal delivery, but not with pregnancy as such. Maternal conditions and interventions during delivery modified the association. Proper evaluation of treatment

Alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) have been implicated in pathological remodelling. We examined the capacity of AEC to produce extracellular matrix (ECM) and thereby directly contribute towards remodelling in chronic lung diseases. Cryopreserved type 2 AEC (AEC2) from healthy lungs and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) afflicted lungs were cultured in decellularized healthy human lung sli

Legitimacy has been a key concept in political philosophy since Plato’s Republic. In this degree project I examine the way in which Shakespeare portrays royal legitimacy in seven of his History plays: Richard II, Henry IV parts I-II, Henry V and Henry VI parts I-III. The objective is to examine the representation of two aspects of royal legitimacy and how they relate to each other: the inheritance

Abstract: Interest conflicts has been a major issue when it comes to urban planning especially when it comes to traffic planning. The purpose of this thesis is to identify these conflicts and why they appear in the planning process. The aim of the research is to evaluate what can be done in order to ensure that these conflicts does not affect the planning of sustainable cities in a dissatisfactory

Abstract The object which this paper will investigate is the icon theology of the former Swedish bishop in Linköping diocese Martin Lönnebo (bishop between the years 1980-1995). I will do this by first analyzing his icon theology as described in his books considering icons (see c. 1.5 Material och avgränsningar). After this analysis i will compare Lönnebo’s icon theology with two other priests in

In the past century, Sweden has seen vast developments in narrowing the gender earnings gap between men and women. Nevertheless the gap still remains, and has revealed patterns of stagnation in the recent decade. In the presence of a gender earnings gap there is an unequal distribution of economic power between men and women, which may lead to an inefficient resource allocation. Today there is a l
