The relationship between government spending and economic growth has captured scholars and policymakers over the years. Despite studies dating back to the early mid-1900s, establishing a clear causal relationship has yet to be discovered. This paper aims to contribute to the ongoing debate on the subject, with the ultimate goal of determining the effectiveness of fiscal policy. Employing a panel-V

Popular Abstract in Swedish När en familjemedlem drabbas av en demenssjukdom påverkas även de övriga familjemedlemmarna på något sätt. Allt mer vård och omsorg flyttar in i hemmen och de närståendes roll och funktion blir mycket centrala. Syftet med denna doktorsavhandling var att undersöka hur närstående till demenssjuka personer mår, och att planera, genomföra och undersöka effekten av en 5-vec

Cross-sectional studies have reported strong correlations between plasma levels of complement C3, insulin, and glucose. This prospective study explored whether elevated levels of C3, C4, and other inflammation-sensitive plasma proteins (ISPs; fibrinogen, orosomucoid, α1-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and ceruloplasmin) are associated with the development of diabetes. Plasma proteins were measured in 2,

At present, coconut proteins are discarded as a waste product by the coconut oil industry. If the range of applications of coconut proteins is to be expanded, their potential functionalities should be investigated. Emulsions and gels are of the greatest interest in food industry. Today the dry processing of copra at elevated temperatures is used to optimize the oil recovery. The functionalities o

This paper aims at identifying the general determinants of the catching-up process. A tentative theory of catch-up, which takes several conventional determinants into account, is deliberately set up on the basis of previous research in this area. The comparative analysis of Singapore and Malaysia provides empirical evidences for testing those determinants. This study mainly focuses on the role of

Background: Living with undiagnosed symptomatic coeliac disease is connected with deteriorated health, and persons with coeliac disease often wait a long time for their diagnosis. A mass screening would lower the delay, but its cost-effectiveness is still unclear. Our aim was to determine the cost-effectiveness of a coeliac disease mass screening at 12 years of age, taking a life course perspectiv

The intramedullary skeletal kinetic distractor (ISKD) is one of the relatively recent methods developed to overcome the complications of conventional bone lengthening methods, such as external fixators. These complications include pain, muscle transfixation, pin-tract infection, reduced joint motion, and prolonged fixation time. However, ISKD-specific complications such as uncontrollable lengtheni

The increased interest in predatory bacteria due to their ability to kill antibiotic resistant bacteria has also highlighted their inherent plethora of hydrolytic enzymes, and their potential as natural sources of novel therapeutic agents and biotechnological tools. Here, we have identified and characterized a novel protease from the predatory bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus: BspE (Bdellovibr

This paper presents a selection of epigraphic documents dispersed over three quarry faces (C11–C13) in the Main Quarry (Q34) at Gebel el-Silsila’s east bank, dating from the reign of the Emperor Augustus. The aim is to describe and decipher the various marks and depictions, and to translate the Demotic and Greek texts, in order to determine for what structure the stone from the quarry was intended
