After authoritarian periods of human rights abuses by the state, trust in state institutions is likely to have eroded among most citizens. One way to try to re-establish this trust - which many researchers believe is essential to make democracy work - is to hold those responsible accountable in criminal trials. But to what extent do such trials affect public confidence, and how does the role of tr
This paper describes an accelerated finite element-boundary integral code with support for complex media. The code is implemented in Python using several open source packages, and uses Numba just-in-time compilation for improved performance. To accelerate the boundary integral part of the code, a multilevel implementation of the adaptive cross approximation is used. As a numerical example, scatter
Due to an increase in unverified information that reaches people, data literacy, i.e. the understanding of how to interact with, and interpret information, becomes increasingly important for informed citizenship and responsible decision-making in a democratic society. Central to data literacy is the ability to draw conclusions based on existing data, as well as to interpret and evaluate numerical

This paper concentrates on the experimental calibration of a rapid, non-destructive sensor to investigate the salinization process by measuring the dielectric properties of the soil to estimate both the soil water content (theta) and pore water electrical conductivity (sigma(p)) for different soil types. The proposed sensor depends on the frequency domain reflectometry (FDR) technique and is calle
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar om modeller för plana solfångare, transparent isolering och verkningsgradsfaktorer. En ekvation för energiutbytet från en glasad plan solfångare härleds genom att modellera verkningsgradsfaktorn, F´, som en summa av en konstant och en temperaturberoende del. Ett alternativt sätt att testa en plan solfångare, baserat på denna modell, föreslås. EThis thesis deals with models of flat plate collectors, transparent insulation and efficiency factors. An equation for the energy output from a glazed flat plate collector is derived by modelling the collector efficiency factor, F´ as the sum of a constant and a temperature dependent part. An alternative way of testing a flat plate collector, based on this model, is suggested. A complete set of a
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar tre centrala områden i finansiell ekonomi i allmänhet och portföljvalsteori i synnerhet: riskmåttet, estimeringsrisk och tidsdiversifiering. Avhandlingen består av fem kapitel varav ett är ett kort introduktionskapitel. De första två kapitlen behandlar ett alternativt mått på risk, lower partial moment (LPM). Detta alternativa mått behandlar eThis thesis is devoted to the analysis of three important issues in financial economics in general and portfolio selection in particular: the risk measure, estimation risk and time diversification. Besides a short introductory chapter the thesis consists of four empirical essays. In the second chapter, the effect of estimation risk on the efficient frontier in the lower partial moment framework is
Humans often seem to behave in ways that stand in contrast to their long-term preferences. Even though people want to save more and eat healthier, there is evidence suggesting as if the opposite happens. Savings rates have dropped significantly in the past decades. The prevalence of obesity, as well as the average body-mass-index, have risen considerably over the past decades. Time preference has
This essay is a comparative overview of translation theory in Japan and the West from a historical perspective, beginning with the considerations of Cicero and ending with the turn towards literal translation in Japan in the late 19th century. The aim is to find similarities in the development of, and attitudes toward, translation traditions between the West and Japan. The first part of the essay
The athletic shoe industry in Portland, Oregon is examined in this paper. We argue that Portland’s athletic shoe industry is representative of an industry cluster, and go on to examine the roles of technology diffusion, innovation, local competition, local demand and local factor conditions in the growth of this industry in the Portland area. In addition, we consider the industry’s integration of
Interviews where photographs taken by the respondent are used in order to stimulate the conversation and to gain rich empirical material are increasingly employed by researchers. The ubiquitous use of mobile cameras and digital platforms such as Instagram has made it easier for the researcher as well as for the interviewees to take and share photographs. The limitations of participatory visual met
A literature review and statistical analysis of the potential of agricultural residual waste as building materials in South Sweden was carried out. This data showed that there is a clear capacity for the use of mainly straw-generating crops as building materials in the region.
Walter Benjamin’s complex notion of time, permeating much of his historical, political, and cultural-critical thought, has been the subject of considerable discussion. In particular, the interaction between the two opposing categories of historical time and messianic time poses a great difficulty: how do messianic moments of cessation act within the homogeneous continuum of history? To propose one
What happens if we are forced to stay at home over weeks or months? If we are not allowed to see our friends and family members in person?This sounds like a cruel “social experiment,” yet, the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic confronts us with exactly this unimaginable scenario.
This special issue deals with temporalities in migration law with particular emphasis on the European context. At the crossroads of several legal fields, including public law, human rights law, EU law and public international law, the topic is cutting-edge in migration law. The articles collected were originally presented at a conference organized at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam in June 2023 an
The end-Permian mass extinction greatly affected the sedimentary record, but the sedimentary response was not limited to the Permian-Triassic boundary interval. This transformation extended to sedimentation that spanned the entire Early Triassic. Calcimicrobialites play an important role throughout this time interval, and at least four main events of anomalous carbonate deposition can be shown. A
