The purpose of this paper is to perform a new study to add support for one of the three explanations of the Great Moderation; the explanation based on a change in monetary policy. The study focuses on the U.S., the U.K., and Australia during the period 1970 Q1-2013 Q3. The study is performed by exploring whether the Moderation (persistent decline in output volatility) was caused by volatility beha
The advent of the epoch known as the Anthropocene has been treated as a paradigm shift throughout the natural as well as parts of the social sciences. This shift entails mankind’s becoming of a geological force alongside others. Political theory and International Relations in particular have, however, been slow to pick this up. This thesis is an attempt to fill this gap. In this thesis I examine t
The inability of the Security Council to consistently apply The Responsibility to Protect has drawn criticism towards the council, accusing it of a western bias. If true, this could prove a serious dent in the UN’s ambition to maintain international peace and security according to the seventh chapter of the UN charter. The aim of this study is to compare and analyze different conflicts in order to
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly. It is beginning to appear in personal life, business sectors, society, and shows impacts on each these contexts. The purpose of this study is to increase our understanding of how narrow AI could potentially affect the way we will organise. To fulfil this purpose, the Four Frames was used to collect and analyse recent publications for insights over
We examined temporal and geographical distribution of Haemoproteus sp. and Plasmodium sp. parasites in Swedish willow warblers, Phylloscopus trochilus. Parasite lineages were detected with molecular methods in 556 birds from 41 sites distributed at distances up to 1,500 km. Two mitochondrial lineages of Haemoproteus sp. were detected, WW1 in 56 birds and WW2 in 75 birds, that differed by 5.2% sequ
A study on guided waves in a. layered half-space with large velocity contrasts and a decreasing velocity with depth is presented. Multiple mode dispersion curves are calculated in the complex wave number domain, taking into consideration the attenuation caused by leakage into the underlying half-space. The excitability of the modes by a vertical point force on the surface is also calculated. Resul
The basal metabolic rate (BMR) of Old World long-distance-migrant shorebirds has been found to vary along their migration route. On average, BMR is highest in the Arctic at the start of fall migration, intermediate at temperate latitudes, and lowest on the tropical wintering grounds. As a test of the generality of this pattern, we measured the BMR of one adult and 44 juvenile shorebirds of 10 spec
Denna uppsats ger en redogörelse för den forskning som stödjer ståndpunkten att UG inte är tillgänglig eller relevant när man lär sig ett andraspråk i vuxenålder. Uppsatsens teoretiska underlag grundas på the no-access view, som argumenterar att UG inte alls är tillgänglig för den vuxne L2-inläraren. I uppsatsens andra del förklaras UG och dess centrala koncept (poverty of the stimulus, principer
Som en reaktion på Rysslands fullskaliga invasion av Ukraina har EU och allierade G7-länder infört omfattande sanktioner riktade mot rysk olja och petroleumprodukter. För att kringgå dessa sanktioner har Ryssland i allt större utsträckning förlitat sig på en parallell flotta – en så kallad skuggflotta – som har kommit att spela en betydande roll i finansieringen av den ryska krigföringen. SkuggfloIn response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, EU and allied G7 countries implemented extensive sanctions regimes targeting Russian oil and petroleum products. To circumvent these sanctions, Russia has increasingly relied on a parallel fleet operating without Western ties – a shadow fleet – which has come to play an important role in funding the Russian war effort. Shadow fleet vessels em
This thesis examines and analyses how violence is portrayed in two literary works, Eoin McNamee's Resurrection man and Anna Burn's Milkman, both set in Northern Ireland during the 1970s. The analysis is based on a close reading of the novels and show how different categories of violence is portrayed. The thesis also discussed similarities and differences between how violence is portrayed i
The market has existed since the time people started trading. In the Czech Republic, and in Ostrava, the history of markets was influenced by a number of circumstances during the past which led into the present situation in the city. In 2015, the market hall in the center of Moravian Ostrava and Přívoz was closed and demolished and since then the 3rd largest city in the Czech Republic still does
Urban voids are not merely physical gaps on the city map. These are spaces that remain beyond programming, control, and conventional use. Often the result of economic downturns, industrial decline, or intentional neglect, such areas are frequently perceived as uncomfortable, unsafe, or unusable. Yet it is precisely their ambiguity that carries significant potential - the capacity to flexibly adap
Nurse turnover is a central driver of the growing care deficits that characterise contemporary capitalism. In Sweden, despite policy efforts to improve retention, nurse shortages persist – destabilising care provision and intensifying workplace strain. This article explores how turnover and employer responses in the Swedish healthcare sector reflect the contradictory dynamics of market culture. Dr
Hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy is a dominantly inherited disorder, characterized by dementia, paralysis, and death from cerebral hemorrhage in early adult life. A variant of the cysteine proteinase inhibitor, cystatin C, is deposited as amyloid in the tissues of the patients and their spinal-fluid level of cystatin C is abnormally low. The disease-associated Leu-68-->Gln mutant (L68Q) cy
