Labour market outcomes for immigrants in general is a well researched field, but the mechanisms behind labour market mismatches among immigrants post-migration is still in need of empirical research. Using a unique and newly compiled dataset on Swedish immigrants, also containing pre-migration occupational and educational information data, this study aims makes use of maximum likelihood models to
Using a newly digitised historical dataset on clean water technologies in Swedish cities, this study tries to find the causal effect (and the magnitude of this effect) of the introduction of clean water technology on mortality in urban areas. Using urban mortality data on a county level, and clean water access data on city level, both OLS, fixed effects, and difference-in-differences models are tr
In the 17th century, especially after the Thirty Years War, Sweden was engaged with demonstrating and presenting itself as the new great power it had become. Particularly the visual culture was a fine way to express the royal desires and ambitions, and what better way to show Sweden’s new age of greatness than through medals, the baroque business card.I strive to illustrate the significance of med
Background: Temperature is considered as a significant determinant of skeletal muscle function and also a predisposing factor for muscular mechanical performance. Yet, the effects of local cooling on neuromuscular function and performance during gait remain unexamined.Objectives: To investigate the effects of local cooling on lower leg muscles’ isometric maximal force production, electromyography
In modern electronics, device downscaling demands atomic precision control and Atomic Layer Etching (ALE) can provide this prime capability with minute device damage. ALE, also known as layer-by-layer etching, is a technique of removing atomically thin layers from the surface of materials in a controlled way.This technique is now very crucial for nanofabrication and semiconductor industry in order
Despite increased globalization since the 1980s in many sectors remained the textile and clothing trade regulated through countryspecific import quotas. In 2005, they were terminated by the Agreementon Textiles and Clothing (ATC). Subsequently it was expected that mostly China would gain in worldwide exports while preferentially treated countries and countries facing fewer restrictions would notic
While foreign direct investments (FDI) are promoted as a vehicle for economic development their environmental consequences are less estab-lished. This study tests the hypotheses that 1) FDI led to environmental deg-radation in form of increased greenhouse gas emissions during Sub-Saharan Africa´s recent growth spurt but that 2) this impact was felt to a lesser extent in countries with a higher qua
Den här uppsatsen låter sex unga journalister komma till tals med avseende på hur de tänker kring förhållandena på arbetsmarknaden. Syftet är att med hjälp av en kvalitativ intervjustudie belysa hur unga journalister tänker kring sin karriär, framtid och livet vid sidan av yrket.Arbetsgivarna inom mediebranschen tillhör dem som i störst utsträckning kringgår lagen om anställningsskydd (LAS). Det i
One of the larger changes in society that affected individual’s lives during the 20th century is the increase in divorce rates that happened in almost all industrialized countries. It went from being an uncommon feature reserved for the rich to a prominent part of family-life. The increase occurred against the backdrop of economic growth and the industrialization. This study constructs a data set
La valorisation des plantes indigènes et endémiques de Polynésie française ne doit pas faire oublier la nécessité de conserver ce patrimoine naturel déjà fortement menacé par les activités humaines. Comme le souligne François Ramade (1999 :210), « le rôle croissant joué par les substances extraites de plantes dans la recherche et le développement de l’industrie ph
In Sweden, the 1970s saw widespread public concerns about data privacy. The use of computers in the 1970 census sparked debate, and in 1973 Sweden's data privacy law, datalagen, came into force. In 1980, a parliamentary delegation was tasked with investigating further options for political action. In the years around 1980, computers, and how they should be used, was a topic of hot political and pu
The district heating sector in Sweden is today facing several challenges due to competition from other heating alternativesas well as decreasing heat demand in buildings. To increase its competitiveness, the district heating companieshave to find ways to keep their production costs at a more or less constant level. One way of doing this is to increasethe efficiency of the district heating systems.The district heating sector in Sweden is today facing several challenges due to competition from other heating alterna-tives as well as decreasing heat demand in buildings.
