This paper examines the relationship between ultra-low interest rates and the amount of zombie firms using panel data for Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland over the period 2007-2020 in a multivariable regression model. Specifically, the questions addressed are: is there a relationship between the interest rate and the amount of zombie firms? Could it be concluded that the amount of zombie firms

Abstract: China’s development today no doubt has had the country placed in the centre of the stage. However, the past turns out to be the opposite if we look back. While the other major countries stepped into the industrial era it seems like China was still napping with its daydreams. In this paper we dig deeply into the political, economic and social aspects of the country at the time and we thin

Recent event-related potential (ERP) studies in language comprehension converge in finding anticipatory negativities preceding words or word segments that can be pre-activated based on either sentence contexts or phonological cues. We review these findings from different paradigms in the light of evidence from other cognitive domains in which slow negative potentials have long been associated withRecent event-related potential (ERP) studies in language comprehension converge in finding anticipatory negativities preceding words or word segments that can be pre-activated based on either sentence contexts or phonological cues.

To receive support from social services in one’s own home is a major life course transition for the client in need of help. But this is also a life changing transition for cohabitating partners, whose home is transformed to a workplace where staff come and go. Partners' perspectives have received a lot of attention in social work, but almost exclusively based on their relationship with the primary

This article compares Swedish social workers, teachers, and journalists’ experiences of workplace violence. It addresses similarities and differences between the three professional groups in terms of who exposed them to workplace violence, what it was about, and what triggered it. The article is based on an online survey study, and the findings suggest that consumer-related violence from target gr

Nanowires offer unprecedented flexibility as nanoscale building blocks for future optoelectronic devices, especially with respect to nanowire solar cells and light-emitting diodes. A relatively new concept is that of charge carrier diffusion-induced light-emitting diodes, for which nanowires offer an interesting architecture by use of particle-assisted core-branch growth. The branches should be hoNanowires offer unprecedented flexibility as nanoscale building blocks for future optoelectronic devices, especially with respect to nanowire solar cells and light-emitting diodes.

Statsmakterna kräver nu att verksamheterna vid Sveriges universitet och högskolor ska genomsyras av ett hållbarhetsperspektiv. Riksdagen har nu beslutat att dessa verksamheter ska ”främja en hållbar utveckling”. I regeringens Budgetproposition 2005/06:1 återfanns förslag till lag om ändring i högskolelagen. Där föreskrevs att 1 kap. 5 § högskolelagen (1992:1434) skall ha följande lydelse: Högskol

The purpose of this investigation is to explore and highlight the role of the Third World within a human rights framework during the era of decolonization. More specifically the investigation analyzes in what ways states from the Third World used human rights to argue for the abolishment of colonialism within the context of debates in the 15th session of the UN General Assembly in 1960 and in rela

The Käppala WWTP data is modelled by using WEST software to evaluate how the storm water affects the treatment plant process and to use the flow data from Ryaverket WWTP to the Käppala WWTP model in order to model. The flow estimation method which gives best results for the flow data over a long period on the low flow occurrence is 95 percentile flow estimation method. This method was used to dete

Buildings such as castles and palaces were or of utmost importance for the display of social rank and the production of legitimacy for the Scandinavian elites. The palace could be a specific building inside a castle, integrated into a fortified structure, or unfortified.

This thesis investigates how employment as a concept is used in the discussions about integration policy. With the supposition that employment is regarded as one of the most important factors of integration, it studies the arguments that endorse this supposition in texts on integration policies. Using the discourse theory of Laclau and Mouffe, I discern three different discourses that can explain

Seven women with obesity were treated with CBT based strategies for weight loss and weight loss maintenance respectively. Methods included psychological strategies for weight loss developed by Judith Beck. The intervention consisted of ten group sessions. Results were measured by differences in percentage weight loss and BMI, and scores obtained through TFEQ-21 (Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire).

The argument for war is consistently coupled with an elicit call for humanitarian assistance and development intervention. In a world where pre-emptive military ventures are an accepted practice, this powerful argument for “doing good” in the world by saving those “victimized” abroad is particularly problematic. This thesis intends to investigate the hegemonic position of development discourse thr

A Linear e+e- collider, either ILC or CLIC will be the next platform for high energy physics study to complement the LHC. Results discovered by LHC may need precision measurements before we can get full understanding of the physics. International collaborations are in the process to prepare both for the accelerator and for the experimental setup. Time projection chambers as the main central track

This study is designed to analyze the sociolinguistic situation in China with regard to the extent to which the English language has become audible and visible within modern, and present-day, Chinese society. This critical examination is from a sociolinguistic and culturally analytical standpoint, and employs theories and concepts from the field of sociolinguistics to assess the phenomenon of the

The sum of a random number of independent and identically distributed random vectors has a distribution which is not analytically tractable, in the general case. The problem has been addressed by means of asymptotic approximations embedding the number of summands in a stochastically increasing sequence. Another approach relies on fitting flexible and tractable parametric, multivariate distributionThe sum of a random number of independent and identically distributed random vectors has a distribution which is not analytically tractable, in the general case.

Device location is a practical problem in indoor wireless deployments. Without knowing where devices are positioned in a building, technicians struggle to locate failing equipment, understand coverage issues, and perform maintenance on devices. To facilitate technicians, they often get elevated access to the intranetwork, which not only gives them access to everything, but they still fail to know
