Our ever-changing world has to a great extent created a need of efficient financial risk-management programs for financial institutions and corporations operating in a demanding international environment. These changes have however also increased the types of financial tools and derivatives used to handle the multifold macroeconomic exposures. Companies have therefore diversified opportunities to

EU har utfärdat ny lagstiftning angående deponering av avfall. Konsekvenserna av denna nya lagstiftning är att sammansättningen på avfallet som deponeras kommer att ändras drastiskt och det kommer även de kemiska och fysiska förhållandena i deponin. Fråga är hur detta kommer att påverka utsläppen från deponin. Eftersom väldigt låga halter nedbrytbart avfall tillåts deponeras antar lagstiftningen aNew legislation concerning the landfilling of waste has been issued from the European Union. The consequence of the new legislation is that the composition of the waste being landfilled will change drastically and so will the chemical and physical conditions in the landfill. The question is how this will affect the emissions from landfills. Since very low amounts of biodegradable waste are allowed

This paper deals with the disputable issue of the existence of Malthus’ Preventive Check in Chinese population. With the help of a newly established historical database (Demographic Database of Colonial Taiwan, DDCT), which currently including the individual level data regarding to the socio-demographic backgrounds of the registered population in fifteen townships in North and Western Taiwan, we t

Plant wide control problems in the activated sludge process have been revisited. The ultimate criteria for controlling a complete plant have been systematically addressed only infrequently. In principle, the effluent has to meet the standard at a minimal cost. Basically, the process is at the time driven by disturbances, mostly via the influent flow, but sometimes created within the plant. An esse

In 1994, the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) was adopted as part of the Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization (WTO). Pursuant to the TRIPS Agreement copyright protection of computer programs for the first time had received explicit recognition on the international level. Despite obligating all WTO Members to protect computer programs as lite

This book marks a pivotal moment in the intensifying dialogue between the philosophical approach of critical realism and the fields of feminist theory and gender research. During the last three decades, these fields have been decisively influenced by poststructuralist perspectives.

A series of experiments are carried out to exam the effect of multiple-contact miscibility on drainage using a rock-on-a-chip. The result shows the distinct behaviors depending on the composition and injection flow rate. The observations are compared with the classical parameter regime diagram for drainage displacement of R. Lenormand et al[1].

We unbox developments in artificial intelligence (AI) to estimate how exposure to these developments affect firm-level labour demand, using detailed register data from Denmark, Portugal and Sweden over two decades. Based on data on AI capabilities and occupational work content, we develop and validate a time-variant measure for occupational exposure to AI across subdomains of AI, such as language

Introduction: Wearable sensors measuring bodily movements used in free-living conditions may help predict falls in older persons. Assessing their use in this context is essential to identify potential challenges related to fall risk screening. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the feasibility of conducting a prospective study comparing self-rated and wearable sensor-based measures for the asse
