Effective and deterrent methods of combating VAT fraud are crucial for the undisturbed functioning of EU internal market, provision of sound legal framework for taxpayers and protection of the integrity of the fiscal systems of the Member States. Artificial intelligence, algorithms and other technological developments involving big data analysis provide potent tools, which can assist tax administr

This paper studies the effects of skilled migration on innovation –proxied by patent citations- in European industries between 1994 and 2005, using the French and the UK Labour Force Surveys and the German Microcensus. Highly-educated migrants have a positive effect on innovation, but the effect differs across industries. It is stronger in industries with low levels of overeducation, high levels o

Background: Information is scarce on long-term changes in energy intake (EI), dietary energy density (DED), and body composition in adolescents undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Objectives: To investigate long-term changes in EI, DED, and body composition in adolescents after LRYGB. Setting: University hospitals, multicenter study, Sweden. Methods: Eighty-five adolescents (6

Standardization research is a fairly new and is a still-evolving field of research, with possibly major practical ramifications. This article presents a summary of the authors' subjective views of the most pressing research topics in the field. These include, among others, standards (e.g. incorporation of ethical issues), the potential impact of standards, the corporate management of standardizati

Based on reflections on childhood experiences, my autobiography starts out from completing professional training as an occupational therapist. After academic studies in gerontology, I pursued PhD education in public health, with a specific interest in housing and health issues related to aging and disability. My early scientific work was concentrated to methodology development based on the notion

Skolarbete på särskilda ungdomshem har seglat upp på dagordningen de senaste åren. Det är ingen överdrift att säga att skolans status har stärkts. I riktlinjer från 2014 anger Statens institutionsstyrelse att 'skola och utbildning ska vara i fokus'. Lärare och behandlingsassistenter ska bilda team kring den unge och arbeta tillsammans. Samtidigt är det heller ingen överdrift att säga att skolan ha

Indoor lighting is known to affect people’s wellbeing, mood and behaviour. The rapid development of new energy-efficient lamp technologies has enabled new lighting applications in home environments. To investigate the prospects of introducing a personalised light emitting diode (LED)-based home lighting technology, a mixed-methods research study was carried out, applying the goal-framing theory. T

1.INTRODUCTIONBefore the phase-out of incandescent lamps in the EU, interior lighting was responsible for approximately 20% of average household electricity use in Sweden. To save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a major societal goal is to switch from light sources with low lm/W to ones with higher luminous efficacy and to reduce wasteful energy behaviour, while still meeting end user

The aim was to evaluate an early prototype of a personalised home lighting system comprising body-worn loggers, a mobile phone, and LED-based lighting with variable intensity and colour temperature. A convenience sample (N = 28, 50% female) wore the devices for 24 hours in the field and were given a demonstration of the lighting system components in a full-scale model of a studio apartment.

1. Motivation, specific objectiveTo evaluate the first prototype of a home lighting system, we used a full-scale model of a studio apartment in the laboratory of the School of Architecture at Lund University. The personalised home lighting system is based on LEDs, wearable sensors and a mobile phone app to produce lighting tailored to the individual’s needs. Drawing on participant interviews (n =

Based on transcribed spoken data, this study explores therapists’ and clients’ uses of what-if constructions in therapy and counseling sessions. It seeks to establish how these constructions are used, whether there are usage differences between these two groups of speakers, and, if so, how such differences can be explained. The study concludes that both therapists and clients use what if, but they

Ett instrument för mätning av masskoncentrationer av sot med hjälp av ljusabsorptionsteknik finns på Dalaplan i Malmö sedan april 2015. I denna rapport sammanfattas de viktigaste resultaten från detta instrument under ett helt år. Källtilldelning av sot kan göras genom att dela upp den totala ljusabsorptionen i ljusabsorption för trafik och vedeldning. Resultaten visar att Dalaplan helt domineras

Purpose: Chronic wounds are a major public health challenge, but little is known about the true burden with studies reporting different estimates because of disparities in study designs and measurement methods. This hampers efficient resource allocation, planning, and improvement of wound care. Methods: Our study aimed to pool prevalence estimates from a global perspective by systematically carryi

Removal of cyprinid fish is a widely used biomanipulation tool to transform turbid shallow eutrophic lakes in north temperate regions into a clear water state. We here evaluate the removal of cyprinids from streams as a supplement to lake fishing. Since cyprinids often aggregate in high densities in lake inlet/outlet streams during winter migration, removal of fish in this space-confined habitat m
