To investigate the modulation of the immune response b

In this article, we study the ongoing redevelopment of post-war, modernist residential area Rosengård, located in Sweden’s third biggest city Malmö. We show how a planning and design strategy for this area has come to focus on a ‘compact city’ typology in line with Malmö’s strategy for creating a ‘near, dense, green and mixed city’. Such compact city typology emphasizes high density, urbanity, proIn this article, we study the ongoing redevelopment of post-war, modernist residential area Rosengård, located in Sweden’s third biggest city Malmö.

The phenomenon of increasing correlation between asset returns in economic downturns will be investigated with two different approaches and tried to be explained by different macroeconomic variables. The first approach, namely the classic method of measuring correlation with time series is contrasted with an extended method of cross-sectional correlation measurement proposed by Solnik (2000). The

In today's world, marked by frequent and diverse disruptions, supply chain resilience has become a key consideration in strategic planning. This is particularly true in the automotive industry, where lean practices, globalization, and complex supplier networks increase vulnerability. This thesis explores how three major automakers - Toyota, Volkswagen, and General Motors - navigated significan

The influence of Forest Structural Complexity (FSC) on evapotranspiration (ET) was investigated in a mixed forest of Southern Sweden where micrometeorological Eddy Covariance (EC) measurements were conducted for the years 2015 to 2022. For each year, the top 25% of Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD) were selected to emphasize the response of ET to the driest atmospheric conditions. FSC was quantified u

The final day of the conference opened with Albin Thörn Cleland’s presentation, “Hidden Choral Stimuli: The Role of Accent in Aristophanes’ Refrains”.

Despite the accuracy of machine learning (ML) techniques in predicting invalid bug reports, as shown in earlier research, and the importance of early identification of invalid bug reports in software maintenance, the adoption of ML techniques for this task in industrial practice is yet to be investigated.
