The ability of the Merton model and the logistic regression to accurately forecast corporate defaults is evaluated. Additionally, the probability-of-default (PD) estimates obtained from these two models are compared with the corresponding rating class historic default rates presented by Moody’s. Data for 56 defaulted and 272 healthy US publicly traded organizations serves as the basis for this stu

We investigated fungal growth and community composition in buried meshbags, amended with apatite, biotite or hornblende, in Norway spruce (Picea abies) forests of varying nutrient status. Norway spruce needles and soil collected from forests overlying serpentinite had low levels of potassium and phosphorus, those from granite had low levels of magnesium, whereas those from amphibolite had comparab

AIMS: To evaluate the effect of adding insulin to sulphonylurea (SU) and the effect of SU withdrawal on glycaemic control in Type 2 diabetic patients who failed on treatment with SU alone.METHOD: One hundred and seventy-five patients were included in a placebo-controlled multicentre study. During phase I (4 months), premixed insulin was added to glibenclamide therapy; during phase II (1-4 months,

The essential cell-division gene ftsZ is transcribed in Escherichia coli from at least six promoters found within the coding regions of the upstream ddIB, ftsQ, and ftsA genes. The contribution of each one to the final yield of ftsZ transcription has been estimated using transcriptional lacZ fusions. The most proximal promoter, ftsZ2p, contributes less than 5% of the total transcription from the r

This paper deals with the presence of Sámi in central and southern Sweden in the seventeenth century. The Nordic countries have generally been believed to be ethnically homogeneous, with the** colonial subjects not being present in the center of these empires. If the multicultural aspects of early modern Nordic countries are at all discussed, Sámi and other ethnic groups are understood as peoples

This chapter analyses humour from an emotion sociological perspective, linking humour to power, status, and group solidarity. It draws from about 300 observed trials and interviews with 43 judges and 41 prosecutors from four Swedish districts courts. Humour is sometimes skilfully used as a strategy to ease tension, relieve boredom or to reprimand. It is initiated/allowed by the judge, but high-staThis chapter analyses humour from an emotion sociological perspective, linking humour to power, status, and group solidarity.

This thesis examines contemporary romance fiction with neurodivergent themes on BookTok as a cultural site where ideas about love, normality, and human value are negotiated and reproduced, positioning “neuro-romance” as an emerging subgenre within contemporary romance. Through a qualitative text analysis combining feminist counter-reading and narrative analysis, the thesis explores how neurodiverg

Title Improving food preparedness in Swedish municipalities from a supply chain perspective - a multiple case study Authors Ellen Persson & Vera Hansen Contribution This thesis has been a complete collaboration between the two authors.

27 maj 2025 13:00 till 17:00 | Föreläsning, Konsert Välkommen till en eftermiddag som utmanar traditionella ledarskapsmodeller och tar dig in i ett mer kreativt, insiktsfullt och dynamiskt universum. Här skärskådar vi vad verkligt ledarskap innebär – bortom manualer och standardiserade metoder – och utforskar hur konst, kultur och forskning formar framtidens ledare. Eventet hålls på engelska.

In a previous experimental study, a novel method for in vivo dosimetry has been investigated, based on radioluminescence (RL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). However, because of (fie large difference in atomic composition between the detector material and the breast tissue, relatively large energy dependence in low-energy X-ray beams can be expected. In the present work, the energy de
