This paper presents annual estimates of total and per-capita GDP at 1910 prices for the regions of Imperial Austria from the origin of the Dual Monarchy (1867) to the eve of WWI (1913). The time paths of regional GDP are estimated from the yield of the tax on the transfer of real and financial property which is itself very highly correlated with the Schulze (2007) estimates of regional GDP for cen

The proteolytic caspase cascade plays a central role in the signaling and execution steps of apoptosis. This study investigated the activation of different caspases in apoptosis induced by MAL (a folding variant of human alpha-lactalbumin) isolated from human milk. Our results show that the caspase-3-like enzymes, and to a lesser extent the caspase-6-like enzymes, were activated in Jurkat and A549

Surface roughness is one of the main challenges for the growing industry of additive manufacturing. Not only are surfaces rougher than on components produced by conventional means, but there is also a great variation within a single component as well. In this thesis, we have studied the surface roughness of AM components using focused variant microscope and X-ray computer tomography. This is used

The vast majority of contemporary literature and research disregards the impact of entrepreneurship within a tourist destination for overcoming seasonality.

In Northern Ireland, it took two years for an agreement to be reached. Furthermore, both post-war Bosnia and N

Studien avsåg undersöka hur kontext påverkade eventsegmentering och minnesbaserad, temporal bedömning. Vidare undersöktes samband mellan psykiskt mående och förmåga till eventsegmentering. Ett datoriserat minnestest användes för att utforska hur kontext påverkade upplevelsen av temporal närhet mellan två objekt. Objekten hade tidigare presenterats med antingen samma kontext, två olika kontexter elThe study intended to examine how context influenced event segmentation and memory based, temporal estimation. Furthermore the study explored correlation between mental illness and event segmentation. A computerized memory test was conducted to investigate how the contexts influenced the estimation of temporal proximity between two objects. The objects were presented with either same context, two

The evidence pointing to a fundamental link between abundance in natural resources and unsustainable development processes in developing countries has caught attention lately, one aspect of this being the „resource curse‟. This paper aims to demonstrate the extent to which the resource abundance can explain the unsustainable economic development process of Kazakhstan. It aims to answer the overarc

As a result of rapid changes in international trade, a country’s emission responsibility goes beyond national borders, which should be adequately captured in their carbon footprint. This study discusses that the two conventional accounting measures

Academia is vertically gender segregated, where women are underrepresented in senior positions in all fields (Allbright, 2019; Curtis, 2011; European Commission, 2016; Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ), 2017).
