The date is October 8th, 2022 in Herzogenaurach, Germany. You are a board member of Adidas, a world renowned sportswear brand - a brand which has seen an immense growth over the past decade, growth which has also translated into a record valuation for the company in the stock market. But today is not a day which calls for celebration. One of your key collaborators, a person which you could attribu
I en tid när vi ser ett ökande intresse för arbetsflexibilitet, ett större behov av lokalt producerad mat och ett växande intresse för natur och friluftsliv. Samt i ljuset av det, för första gången på överskådlig tid en ökande inflyttning till landsbygden. Med dagens digitala teknologi ges numera större förutsättningar att kunna starta upp nya verksamheter på distans som skulle kunna fungera minst
DNA transposons are a class of mobile genetic elements that can autonomously move from one genomic location to another. They are powerful drivers of genetic change and have played a significant role in the evolution of many genomes. One such transposable element, IS608 from Helicobacter pylori employs a unique mechanism of transposition as it transposes in a single-stranded DNA form and inserts sp
I denna uppsats har jag fortsatt den ndersökning av svenska inlärare av franska som påbörjades i min C-uppsats. Avsikten har varit att studera om de språkliga avvikelser från den franska normen som upptäcktes i den förra studien kvarstår även denna gång då studien inte längre gäller vokaldurationer utan istället det tonala förloppet och final förlängning. Svenska inlärares prosodiska konstruktion
Denna uppsats har till syfte att undersöka huruvida det, med hjälp av teknisk analys, föreligger större möjlighet att skapa lönsamma handelsstrategier för index än för enskilda aktier. Vi kommer även att belysa hur god avkastning sådana strategier kan generera i förhållande till en jämförelsestrategi där man köper och håller tillgången under hela perioden. Handelsstrategier baserade på dubbla löpa
In 2018, the Indian state of Kerala experienced devastating floods that killed 433 people and displaced 1.4 million. The floods are becoming more frequent since then due to climate change. In this research, we compared international frameworks on health and disaster with national and state documents. We used content analysis and applied Walt and Gilson's framework of health policy analysis to
This study aims to explore the complexities of ethical consumption and identify the factors shaping consumers’ sustainability decisions through online discussions. It seeks to understand how consumers articulate concerns, analyzing topics like the ethical consumption gap, governmentality, responsibilization etc. The research aims to drive positive change in both individual behaviors and societal
The globular protein γB-crystallin exhibits a complex phase behavior, where liquid-liquid phase separation characterized by a critical volume fraction ϕc = 0.154 and a critical temperature Tc = 291.8 K coexists with dynamical arrest on all length scales at volume fractions around ϕ ≈ 0.3-0.35, and an arrest line that extends well into the unstable region below the spinodal. However, although the s
The study reported in this paper examines foreign accent (FA) in adult simultaneous bilinguals (2L1ers). Specifically, we investigate how accent is affected if a first language is acquired as a minority (heritage) language as compared to a majority (dominant) language. We compare the perceived FA in both languages of 38 adult 2L1ers (German-French and German-Italian) to that of monolingual native
This thesis compares how Sweden and Finland’s contrasting exchange rate regimes shaped their export sector performance during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. While both are small, open Nordic economies, Sweden maintained a floating currency and independent monetary policy, whereas Finland adopted the euro and ceded monetary control to the European Central Bank. The study evaluates export revenue
In this paper, we introduce a generalized dynamical unbalanced optimal transport framework by incorporating limited control input and mass dissipation, addressing limitations in conventional optimal transport for control applications. We derive a convex dual of the problem using dual optimal control techniques developed before and during the 1990s, transforming the non-convex optimization into a m
Smart vehicles are emerging as a possible solution for multiple concerns in road traffic, such as mobility and safety. This work presents radio localization methods based on simultaneous direction of arrival (DOA), time-delay, and range estimation using the SAGE algorithm. The proposed methods do not rely on external sources of information, such as global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). The p
This thesis is a collection of four studies on pronominal anaphora resolution with a focus on first language (L1) attrition and prosody. In Study I, we explored the temporariness of attrition effects on anaphora resolution in L1 Italian speakers who moved to Sweden after puberty (i.e., late bilinguals). An experimental group of 20 late Italian-Swedish bilinguals and a control group of 21 Italian m
The resonant Auger decay spectra associated with doubly excited core-hole states near the N 1s threshold in the nitrogen molecule was measured. Electron-yield spectrum was obtained by setting a kinetic-energy window at 384 eV and scanning across the threshold region. At ground 410, 414, and 416 eV, photon energy, three dominant structures were observed. The increased signal-to-background ratio, in
The nuclear dynamics in the Nt 1s→π* in nitrous oxide was studied using the high resolution resonant Auger spectroscopy and ab initio quantum chemical calculations. For probing the nuclear motion of the system in the core-excited state, the frequency detuning technique was used. The results showed changes in vibrational structure for the Auger decay spectra and a strong influence of nuclear motion
The β decay of Hg208 into the one-proton hole, one neutron-particle Tl81208127 nucleus was investigated at CERN-ISOLDE. Shell-model calculations describe well the level scheme deduced, validating the proton-neutron interactions used, with implications for the whole of the N>126, Z
In degenerative adult onset ataxia (AOA), dystonic comorbidity is attributed to one disease continuum. However, in early adult onset ataxia (EOA), the prevalence and pathogenesis of dystonic comorbidity (EOAD+), are still unclear. In 80 EOA-patients, we determined the EOAD+-prevalence in association with MRI-abnormalities. Subsequently, we explored underlying biological pathways by genetic network
