This study proposes a new approach to decompose trade flows between their supply- and demand-driven components as an alternative to the instrumental variable approach used in the literature. With the data obtained from this new approach, I run a cross-country analysis of Chinese imports on domestic labour markets across several margins. I find that Chinese manufacturing imports of final goods have

Assessing the risk of future femur fracture is an important step in preventing this serious and common injury. The current methods to predict the fracture risk are typically based on bone mineral density measurement, used as a surrogate for femoral strength. An alternative to this which has been shown to give more accurate information on the strength of a femur is subject specific finite element a

Using the methodology introduced by Campbell et al. (2001), we decompose and evaluate the historical volatility patterns of the Swedish stock market in the time period 1985 - 2012. The volatility at all component levels, including idiosyncratic risk, appear to be fairly stable throughout the sample, with the exception of temporary dramatic increases during periods of economic distress. As opposed

Web 2.0 is a debatable term and draws much argument. In spite of one’s opinion towards the term, Web 2.0 tools such as blogs, wikis, podcasts and RSS feeds are enormously used in learning environments. In this sense, the overall purpose of this research was to investigate potential of using different Web 2.0 tools in collaborative learning as well as their advantage. Four interviews have been cond

Kritiskt tänkande i värdefrågor VT14.pptx DEL 3 Fyra vanliga induktiva resonemang Alla induktiva generaliseringar har följande form: (P1): Z procent av de F som har observerats har egenskapen G. (C): Det är därför sannolikt att Z procent av alla F har G. EXEMPEL: Hälften av de jag pratat med i klassen har lämnat in hemuppgiften, därför är det troligt att halva klassen lämnade in hemuppgiften. 1. I

We have characterized the dissolved state of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in cold alkali [2.0 M NaOH(aq)] solutions using a combination of small angle X-ray (SAXS) and static light scattering (SLS), (Formula presented.)H NMR, NMR self-diffusion, and rheology experiments. NMR and SAXS data demonstrate that the cellulose is fully molecularly dissolved. SLS, however, shows the presence of large c

The speed of growth for startups has never been faster, and this growth comes with ethical challenges for society as the startups bring their innovation to the masses without considering the full implications of their business. With the aim to better understand the ethical decision making process of the entrepreneur and how to improve it, we identified two gaps in entrepreneurial ethics research t

In recent work on international comparisons of income-related inequalities in health, the concentration index has been used as a measure of health inequality. A drawback of this measure is that it is sensitive to whether it is estimated with respect to health or morbidity. An alternative would be to use the generalized concentration index that is based on absolute rather than relative health diffe

This paper investigates the L2 acquisition of clausal syntax in post-puberty learners of German and Swedish regarding V2, VP headedness and verb particle constructions. The learner data are tested against L2 theories according to which lower structural projections (VP) are acquired before higher functional projections (IP, CP), VP syntax is unproblematic (invulnerable), but where grammatical opera

This thesis considers the ecological and evolutionary significance of seed and bud dormancy. First, I present theoretical support to the idea that seed dormancy may evolve as a strategy to reduce sib competition in temporally homogeneous environments. In this thesis, I also analyze two different processes that may give rise to parent-offspring conflicts in angiosperms, viz. seed germination and se

The present article represents a quite literal take on the theme of the special issue of Australian Feminist Law Journal in which it appears by discussing the public park as a garden of justice: on the one hand a concrete, geographical setting in which law and morality become manifest, on the other hand the site of a more intangible space which is constituted by the struggles between different spa

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT, type II) is an immune-mediated disorder due to antibodies formed against heparin platelet factor 4 complexes, usually appearing at days 5 to 14 after initiation of heparin. It is important to recognize HIT because heparin prophylaxis or treatment paradoxically associates with new venous and/or arterial thrombosis. Early clinical suspicion and diagnosis togeth

Structure-borne vibration and low-frequency re-radiated noise from internal and external sources cause annoyance for inhabitants in dwellings. A key parameter in the prediction of vibration and noise levels is the modal parameters of the floors in a building, since vibration and sound levels increase when natural frequencies of the floor coincide with the excitation frequencies of a source, e.g. m

Multiple-pilot injection strategies with both moderate and short time separations (dwells) are investigated in a light-duty diesel engine. Both conventional and optical engine experiments are performed. By implementing triple-pilot injection strategies with short dwells between the individual injections, combustion noise can be significantly reduced. The sound pressure level was reduced by nearly

När vi människor försöker röra på oss skickas elektriska impulser genom nervsystemet från hjärnan ner till de muskler som är inblandade i den tilltänkta rörelsen. Att kunna mäta sådana nervimpulser hade varit av värde för en rad tillämpningar—information hade då kunnat överföras direkt från nervsystemet utan att gå via långsamma, mekaniska gränssnitt så som tangentbord och pekskärmar. OlyckligtvisElectrical activity produced by muscles during voluntary movement is a reflection of the firing patterns of relevant motor neurons and, by extension, the latent motor intent driving the movement. Once transduced via electromyography (EMG) and converted into digital form, this activity can be processed to provide an estimate of the original motor intent and is as such a feasible basis for non-invas
