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
Over decades of linguistic research, the identity and ambiguity of a possible lexical category labeled ‘adjectives’ have been as lively debated as the possible universality of lexical categories as such. Some argue that adjectives can be found in every language, whereas others deny their existence completely. The only thing that remains clear, irrespective of which view is employed, is that the ex
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
The role of gender relations in shaping technological transitions is widely acknowledged but remains understudied. This study uses historical data to analyze the gendering of early 20th century American cars and its impact. Previous research has argued that early electric vehicles were construed as a women's car, contributing to its demise. Other work has questioned to what extent automotive prefe
At a geological time-scale, seas rise aloft and mountains crumble. We are currently in the middle of a debate on whether—in order to acknowledge the pervasive and geologically significant traces of human action on the planet—our present era should be labelled the “Anthropocene”, and if so, what would be the cut-off date for the commencement of that era. At the same moment, we are already contempla
This article discusses a concept that institutions from the OECD to the EU increasingly employ in their response to the ecological crisis: The bioeconomy, wherein materials for economic activity would be bio-based and renewable. As a present-day project, the bioeconomy translates the critique of (fossil) carbon into patterns of (material) resource use and (economic) resource allocation, not least
During mechanical ventilation (MV), the interplay between abdomen and thorax has been studied unilaterally focusing on the effect that an increased abdominal pressure would have on the thorax. Only a small cluster of studies offered a different perspective showing a lower inflammation and a better lymphatic clearance of edema in abdominal organs when spontaneous breathing was applied compared to M
We study the distribution of sequences of the form (qny)∞n=1, where (qn)∞n=1 is some increasing sequence of integers. In particular, we study the Lebesgue measure and find bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points γ ∈ [0, 1) which are well approximated by points in the sequence (qny)∞n=1. The bounds on Hausdorff dimension are valid for almost every y in the support of a measure of pos
From the perspective of the Swedish education system, rural knowledge does not seem to be particularly important. Many young people in rural areas have deep and important knowledge that is invisible in school and during school time, both to teachers and to the young people themselves. This paper examines knowledge used in agriculture and animal husbandry, a type of knowledge that is particular
This paper investigates the fundamental free-space antenna translation channel as an important step in understanding and developing the spherical waves as a generic tool for MIMO channel modeling. The model is demonstrated by quantifying the theoretical MIMO capacity associated with antennas exciting high order modes in the Fresnel and Fraunhofer regions.
Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a Lorentz space L8phi,q) to have a trivial conjugat space. Analogous results are derived for quasi-normed spaces
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
