Additive manufacturing (AM) makes it feasible to realise complex lattice structuresthat provide structural flexibility through engineered structural design rather thanrelying solely on material softness. Across sectors such as furniture, healthcare,protective equipment, and robotics, such flexibility is a core functional requirement,that influences comfort, fit, impact response, lightweighting, an
Using population-wide data on Swedish university researchers and teachers, we identify the effects of parenthood on academic careers. Leveraging staggered event-study models that compare mothers and fathers around first birth, we document widening gender gaps in publication output, wage income, promotion, and PhD completion. These gaps arise across all scientific fields. We further document substa
Cryo-scanning electron microscopy (CryoSEM) permits the preparation and detailed imaging of bulky samples while keeping them in a hydrated state. For plant biology, cryofractures give information on cell ultrastructure and tissue organisation within a much larger context that is the whole organ or organism. To date, a method to locate fluorescence reporters on the cryofracture has not been reporte
Background Early-onset depression contributes significantly to long-term disability and suicide, making high-quality healthcare for young people with depression a critical concern. Medical record review (MRR) is widely used to assess healthcare quality. However, its application to depression care for children and adolescents appears underexplored, with no consensus on conceptualising or measuring
Let Hd2 be the Drury–Arveson space, and let f∈Hd2 have bounded argument and no zeros in Bd. We show that f is cyclic in Hd2 if and only if logf belongs to the Pick-Smirnov class N+(Hd2). Furthermore, for non-vanishing functions f∈Hd2 with bounded argument and H∞-norm less than 1, cyclicity can also be tested via iterated logarithms. For example, we show that f is cyclic if and only if log(1+log(1∕
The Israel – Iran intelligence contest exemplifies hybrid conflict conducted below the threshold of open war. This study examines Israel’s penetration of Iran’s intelligence and security apparatus and the Islamic Republic’s counterintelligence (CI) response using open-source material within a dual-lens framework. Lens 1 traces Israeli operations from early assassinations and cyber sabotage to the
Geographical Indications (GIs) are collective property rights, which identify a good as originating from a specific geographical region. If the producers of GI products can signal to the consumers the specific qualities their products possess, qualities that are attributable to the land, then – due to the products ties to their region of production – GI products are considered to have potentials t
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate international specialisation and trade patterns in the Romanian automotive industry. This was done in view of the Romanian EU accession in 2007, both in relation to the original 15 EU members and in the global context. The two measures used are Balassa’s Revealed Comparative Advantage measurements and the Grubel-Lloyd measure for Intra-Industry Trade.
Syftet är att beskriva och analysera VBM och BSC samt diskutera möjligheten att integrera dessa. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ metod där teoretiska begrepp inom Value Based Management och Balanced Scorecard analyseras och jämförs med empiriska undersökningar i form av intervjuer. Kombinationen av VBM och BSC resulterar i ett lämpligt styrverktyg för många företag. Det är ingen perfekt kombinatio
The thesis main objective is to establish the determinants for granting executive stock options and to examine their impact on performance for firms listed on OMXS30. The analysis is based on accounting data gathered from annual reports and Thomson Datastream. The empirical results display that firms grant stock options to mitigate the principal-agent problem. Furthermore, risk proves to be positi
The crude assumption on log normal stock returns and constant volatility in the Black-Scholes model is a big constraint which constructs smile and skew inconsistent prices. The Heston model and its suggested approximation built on stochastic volatility are introduced and faced against the Black-Scholes model in hope of producing option prices where the smile and skew are taken into account.. As on
We investigate the strength of the Ultrafilter Lemma in comparison to the Axiom of Choice. In particular, we prove that a number of classical mathematical theorems are equivalent to the Ultrafilter Lemma over $\sf ZF$, and we study a few results which are typically only obtained in $\sf ZFC$ (as opposed to $\sf ZF$) but which can also be proven from the conjunction of $\sf ZF$ with the Ultrafilter
This text discusses the impact of economic liberalization in India in 1991. The aim of this study is to investigate how the 1991 reforms, which increased foreign investments and entrepreneurship, contributed to economic growth. The paper provides a detailed background of the socialist Indian scenario prior to 1991 and highlights the changes that occurred with the liberalization policies and their
In our research paper, we shed light on the various impacts of acculturation and changes in religious consumption in the lives of muslims, who have migrated from the east and are experiencing life in the west. We took into consideration the holy month Ramadan as a religious reference to our study where we examine muslims religious performance during this time. As Ramadan is considered the most spi
Purpose: The thesis aims to address the different roles incumbent firms can take in the emerging plant-based ecosystem and to contribute with new understandings related to these ecosystems. Theoretical framework: The theoretical foundation for the thesis is rooted in theories on systems thinking, ecosystems and with a discussion around the roles that are inherent in ecosystems. This is accompanie
