The muon anomalous magnetic moment continues to attract attention due to the possible tension between the experimentally measured value and the theoretical Standard Model prediction. With the aim to reduce the uncertainty on the hadronic light-by-light contribution to the magnetic moment, we derive short-distance constraints in the Melnikov-Vainshtein regime which are useful for data-driven determ

AIM: To study the association between within-person changes in patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) and wish for joint surgery during participation in a digital first-line intervention comprising exercise and education for knee/hip osteoarthritis (OA).METHODS: Retrospective observational registry study. Participants enrolled between 01/06/2018 and 30/10/2021 with follow-up data at 3 months (n=13,961)

A method for including night-time refreezing of the top layer of a snowpack in the degree-day method for computing daily snowmelt rates is presented. It is found that during days of large diurnal temperature variations the daily melt is more determined by the day-time conditions than by the daily mean conditions. Applications are made to an open area and a forested area. The refreezing-degree-day

The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon of the human body which makes injuries of it very painful and incapacitating. A common factor of the pain are heterotopic ossifications, which are mineral deposits occurring inside the normal tendon tissue. Why and how heterotopic ossifications occur are somewhat unknown. To investigate this, many different methods of study have been trialed by scientists

Tropical cyclones influence processes within the carbon cycle on different time-scales. Forested ecosystems suffer windfall and long-term impacts from tropical cyclones, leading to the release of CO2 to the atmosphere. The coarse woody debris created by extreme wind speeds and landslides brought on by tropical cyclones can leave a forested ecosystem via riverine channels and end up in the ocean, w

This thesis studies the relationship between the magnitude of the dowry and the bride’s education and income. Dowry is defined the gifts transferred along with the bride from the bride’s natal family to the groom’s household at the time of marriage. Gifts are traditionally also given from the groom household to the bride, the bride who will belong to the groom household after marriage. India has a

Inspired by the methodology of Galí and Gertler (1999) and Lindé (2005) and the seemingly fierce debate over the most appropriate econometric approach to study inflation dynamics, the new-Keynesian hybrid Phillips curve has been conducted with Swedish sample data and estimated with the general method of moment (GMM) and the full information maximum likelihood (FIML) estimators. GMM generated estim

The issue of riba, or interest, is crucial for both Islamic and non-Islamic countries. Western economic systems use the interest rate to efficiently distribute financial resources for investment and/or consumption. In the entire economic system outside the Islamic countries, interest rates are practically a prerequisite, for the functioning of the economic system. Islamic economies, on the contrar

This paper looks for evidence of asymmetric effects of monetary policy on the real economy of the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. In order to do this, a “new Keynesian” model is used as a basis with the regressions performed in a VAR setting. The results indicate that there is no empirical support for asymmetric effects of monetary policy shocks on the real economy. In fact, there is

Since the European Union’s inception, creating a well functioning, competitive and integrated market has been at the heart of the Unions project. The four freedoms, free movement of persons, goods, services and capital, which led to the opening of the boarders, have been one of the main forces behind growth in Europe. Today, Europe has become the world’s biggest economy and the Single Market is it

In the Shadow of Monumentum... the War on Statues explores the last decade's violent protests on colonisation and institutional racism leading to the vandalisation, defacing and in some cases removal or toppling of public monuments. The study explores the chronological events surrounding 4 monuments depicting Edward Colston, Cecil Rhodes and Mary Thomas - “Queen” Mary. Including the persons de

This thesis investigates the relationship between automation and deindustrialisation in the context of Brazil, a developing country experiencing significant structural economic changes. While automation is often associated with productivity growth and economic advancement, its implications for employment, particularly in emerging economies, remain contested. Drawing on the Lewis 2.0 framework and
