Field trials in three European countries, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden were carried out in order to investigate the effects of an in-car speed limiter. The trials were carried out on urban and rural roads including motorways. A so-called unobtrusive instrumented car was used, where all the measuring equipment was hidden. All the speed limit categories in the respective countries, ranging from
Von Economo neurons (VEN) are bipolar neurons located in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the frontoinsular cortex (FI), areas affected early in behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), in which VEN may constitute a selectively vulnerable cellular population. Aim A previous study has shown a selective loss of VEN in FTD above other neurons in the ACC of FTD. The aim of this stud
För att kunna jämföra värdering av onoterade bolag med marknadsvärden värderas 38 st bolag strax efter att de noterats. Vi antar att värdering strax efter notering är en god approximation av värden för bolag strax före notering. Relativ värdering med P/E-, P/B- och P/S-multiplarna används för bolag i fastighets- och läkemedelsbranschen. Vid värdering av fastighetsbolag med P/B-multipeln är det sta38 firms have been valued soon after they have gone public to be able to be compared with market values. We assume that valuation soon after going public is a good approximation of value of firms just before going public. Relative valuation using P/E, P/B and P/S multiples are being used on firms in the real estate and pharmaceutical industries. Valuing real estate firms with the P/B multiple lead
Different approaches have been used to test capital structure theories empirically. In this paper the statement that Myers and Majluf (1984) discussed, that a low risk debt issue should affect the firm value less than a high risk equity issue, is explored and tested by applying an event study approach similar to the one Eckbo (1986) carried out on different kinds of debt issuances. There are also
The subculture of heavy metal has often been perceived as a counterculture to the leading mainstream cultural expressions and paradigms. In the light of globalization the heavy metal culture has spread to far off places around the world from its origin in the West. The Georgian heavy metal culture began developing in the last two decades since the fall of the Soviet Union, when new influences and
SAAB Training & Simulation AB develops training solutions for military and civil use. One of these solutions, ATC Training, is intended to be a comprehensive solution where all parts in Air Traffic Control are represented. The simulator is currently not fully developed, and therefore not ready to be delivered, but there is no functionality for simulation of Area Control Center. Therefore there
This thesis examines the nature of the capitalist mode of production and begins with the contention that it necessarily produces unjust outcomes do to its economic mandates and corresponding organization of social relationships. More specifically, this thesis will investigate the processes through which the capitalistic mode of production reproduces itself. An understanding of these processes allo
Oskarshamn 3 has undergone a power uprate from 110% to 129.1% of original reactor thermal output in recent ended project PULS (Power Uprate with Licensed Safety). The main objective of this thesis have been to identify deviations in the power plant, explaining the differences in power output between designed and achieved power output after PULS. The investigation has been conducted with the use of
Background: A fundamental goal in chemical biology is the elucidation of on- and off-target effects of drugs and biocides. To this aim chemogenetic screens that quantify drug induced changes in cellular fitness, typically taken as changes in composite growth, is commonly applied. Results: Using the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae we here report that resolving cellular growth dynamics into
Eliminating fast neutrons (lambda < 0.5 angstrom) by removing direct line of sight between the source and the target sample is a well established technique. This can be done with little loss of transmission for a straight neutron guide by horizontal curving. With an elliptic guide shape, however, curving the guide would result in a breakdown of the geometrical focusing mechanism inherent to the el
Political institutions are keen to use the best available scientific knowledge in decision-making. For environmental policy, relevant scientific evidence can be complex and extensive, so expert judgment is frequently relied upon, without clear links to the evidence itself. We propose a new transparent process for incorporating research evidence into policy decisions, involving independent synopsis
Use of utilities, such as steam and cooling water, is very common at industrial sites. Utilities are often shared between several production areas, and a disturbance in the supply of a utility is therefore likely to affect a large part of the production site, and cause great loss of revenue. In order to minimize the loss of revenue due to disturbances in utilities, the optimal supply of utilities
Generativ AI är ett nytt fenomen som nu finns i allmänhetens händer. Användningen av AI har redan börjat ersätta mänskliga anställda i många branscher och tidigare forskning visar att generativ AI har stora förmågor i kreativa och kommunikativa sammanhang. Syftet med denna studie var att avslöja hur generativ AI kan konkurrera med varumärkens traditionella metoder för att skapa innehåll på socialaGenerative AI is a novel phenomenon, now within the hands of the public. The utilisation of AI has already started replacing human employees in many industries and previous research shows that generative AI have great abilities in creative and communicative contexts. The purpose of this study was to unveil how generative AI may compete with brands' traditional methods of social media content c
Climate change is the biggest challenge of our time. The climate is changing dramatically because of human activity and the construction and property sector plays a key role in reducing climate emissions and building a sustainable future. Although the development of climate-smart solutions in the construction and real estate sector has come a long way, the spread of green buildings has encountered
This study’s purpose was to examine how 3 female managers subjectively thought about and related to femininity in relation to their leadership role. The emphasis was put on how the respondent viewed perceptions about leadership as a socially constructed concept, upon gender norms and a traditionally masculine leadership stereotype, and if, and how, they themselves consider this to have affected th
Marine copepods are the most abundant type of zooplankton of the ocean in terms of biomass. They imprint their surrounding waters with a unique signature of chemical compounds, out of which copepodamides stand out. These polar lipids are recognized by some phytoplanktonic species, who induce defensive traits in response, including bioluminescence and toxin production, colony size plasticity or str
Port state control plays a central role in maritime safety and protection of marine environment and it becomes more significant in protection of seafarers’ rights. This thesis integrates discussion and consideration of different legal aspect of PSC in order to present a comprehensive view on it. First, the legal foundation of port state jurisdiction is examined. It is explored through its elements
Introduction: Regional and global brain volumes are of great interest in many different research projects, not least in Alzheimer’s research. The purpose of this project is to optimize the MPRAGE sequence for automatic and repeatable segmentation of human brain tissue. The volume is calculated for the whole brain, white matter (WM), grey matter (GM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Materials and met
Cancer är idag det näst vanligaste dödsorsaken i världen, där 30% av alla cancerfall bland kvinnor är bröstcancer. En vanlig behandling är bröstbevarande operation, där en bit av bröstet kirurgiskt tas bort. Operationer är både dyrt och har en betydande inverkan på kroppen och för vissa kvinnor krävs en omoperation efter den första operationen. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka möjli
