England har i dagsläget beslutat att ej anta den förslagna EU- förordningen om behörighet, tillämplig lag, erkännande och verkställighet av domar och officiella handlingar i samband med arv och om inrättandet av ett europeiskt arvsintyg. England deltar dock i de pågående förhandlingarna mellan medlemsstaterna rörande förordningen och en ratificering är fortfarande möjlig. Enligt England omfattar hTo date England has decided not to opt into the proposed EU Regulation on jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition and enforcement of decisions and authentic instruments in matters of succession and the creation of a European Certificate. However, with an eventual opt in England fully engages with the ongoing negotiations on the proposed Regulation between the Member States. From the English view

In the past two decades the European banking industry has undergone an intense process of reshaping, fostered by a junction of reasons. Consolidation of the industry has been increasing at an accelerating pace. However, continental literature in the field is still not thorough or conclusive. While European banking M&As have been up to now judged as creating more value than their US counterpart

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate if portfolios whose composition is based on fundamental values (FVs) outperform a market value (MV)-weighted benchmark portfolio in terms of mean-variance efficiency on the Swedish stock market. We also seek to answer if an investment strategy, which focuses on the difference in composition between these two weighting methods, can further enhance th

Newly developed Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving offer support to the driver in his/her driving task. Besides driver comfort, these systems are expected to give significant safety improvements. However, the expected positive safety effects only will be achieved if the driver uses the system in the way it was intended to be used, he/she follows its recommendations and

As a queen, a woman in the pre-modern period could interact with the learned society in several ways, either as a learned woman, or - like Hedwig Eleonora - by patronizing and participating actively in the intellectual culture of her time as a donor, an employer, and a foundress of learned institutions. In doing this, she sometimes accentuated her personal sympathies, be they in history, theology,

The substantiality of the Out of Africa hypothesis was addressed in the light of recent genomic analysis of extant humans (Homo sapiens sapiens, Hss) and progress in Neanderthal palaeontology. The examination lent no support to the commonly assumed Out of Africa scenario but favoured instead a Eurasian divergence between Neanderthals and Hss (the Askur/Embla hypothesis) and an Out of Asia/Eurasia

This paper investigates the relationship between finance and environmentalsustainability. The first part summarises a few crucial methodological and foundational issues underlying meaning and implications of financialisation, sustainability and their mutual relation. The second part focuses on a particularly significant case study: the unsustainability of the existing energy system based on carbon

Background: Recently it was suggested to use aluminium chloride hexahydrate in petrolatum at 10% to detect aluminium contact allergy. Patch testing with aluminium chloride hexahydrate at 20% did not demonstrate a higher number of positive test reactions. It was speculated that the constricting effect of aluminium salts might impair skin penetration. Objectives: The purpose of the present study is

PurposeQuantitative MRI (qMRI) yields reproducible “maps” of physiological and/or biophysical tissue parameters. These spatially resolved metrics are mainly used in clinical imaging research for cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. The field of qMRI has considerable expanded during the past two decades. Rather than focusing on particular methods, this talk highlights general concepts of accur

In the last half of the twelfth century, canon law established the rule that a marriage could be declared invalid if the consent had been given through force or fear. This ruling was a natural consequence of the insistence on free consent as the only requirement for a valid marriage. It did, however, entail a number of both practical and theoretical problems. It could be difficult to prove force a

Alongside harm avoidance, incompleteness and disgust have been proposed as important emotion-related motivators underlying the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The aim of the present study was to investigate the validity of self-report and interview-based measures of these constructs in youth with OCD (N=100) and anxiety disorders (N=96). All participants completed self-report meas

In certain cases analytical derivation of physicsbased models of robots is difficult or even impossible. A potential workaround is the approximation of robot models fromsensor data-streams employing machine learning approaches.In this paper, the inverse dynamics models are learned byemploying a learning algorithm, introduced in [1], which isbased on reservoir computing in conjunction with self-org

Educational software based on teachable agents has repeatedly proven to have positive effects on students’ learning outcomes. The strongest effects have been shown for low-performers. A number of mechanisms have been proposed to explore this outcome, in particular mechanisms that involve attributions of social agency to teachable agents. Our study examined whether an expression of high versus low
