What are the roots of the gender patenting gap? How did the gap evolve since the ‘modern’ patenting system was established? Our knowledge of women’s contribution to innovative activities in the past is extremely sc

It is a well-known fact that when we in Korea find elaborate polite conjugations, that structure and determine everyday interaction, the Danes, on the other side of the Globe, have a habit of saying ‘you’ (‘du’) in almost every context. We are dealing with an Asian language ruled by a high level of honorific phrases and a Scandinavian language characterized by its more unpolished and straightforwa

Playing outdoors in nature with peers has been attributed most importance for children's healthy development but is increasingly marginalized because of the attractiveness of screen-based play. Careful merging of digital technology into outdoor play environments rich on nature elements could potentially help bridge digital play with more traditional play activities outdoors. A systematic compariso

The evolutionary biologist Julian Huxley (1887–1975) attempted to promote a “religion for the future,” which he would come to refer to as Transhumanism. It was Huxley’s firm belief that mankind needed a unifying system of thought that could motivate action and change. Transhumanism was also an attempt to unite a more traditional humanistic view of the human as containing some form of core essence The evolutionary biologist Julian Huxley (1887–1975) attempted to promote a “religion for the future,” which he would come to refer to as Transhumanism.

This study deals with segmental articulations based on acceleration signals from EMA data. We test how well the one-to-one relationship between acceleration peaks and segment boundaries (as described within the framework of the Descriptive Approach to Segmental Articulations) works across different prosodic levels in Swedish, here: focused and unfocused position, with the assumption of a positive

This investigation builds on the conceptual framework, which has been developed from a systematic literature review on the topic of food sharing and enriched with topics from several

Inkomsterna är högre i städerna än på landsbygden. Samtidigt kan det vara dyrare att bo i städer och för den som bor på landsbygden kan resekostnader var höga. Detta väcker en viktig fråga: Är skillnaden mellan städer och landsbygd mindre när man tar hänsyn till skillnader i boende- och resekostnader, dvs. när man använder ett mått på levnadsstandard som även inkluderar kostnader?

Förändrade livsmedelspriser och odlingsförutsättningar gör att jordbrukets inkomster varierar över tiden. Kraftigt sjunkande inkomster kan innebära att jordbrukare lämnar sektorn. Vid en allvarlig kris som riskerar att slå ut lönsamma företag och hota matproduktionen kan staten behöva gå in och ge stöd.I denna rapport diskuterar vi under vilka förutsättningar staten bör ge stöd och när jordbruket

En skillnad i lönsamhet mellan företag på landsbygden och företag i staden har uppkommit sedan början av 2000-talet. Ökad regional ojämlikhet bland företagen rimmar illa med målen för Sveriges nationella strategi för hållbar regional utveckling. Men vad beror lönsamhetsgapet mellan stad och land på? Vi finner att:Lönsamhetsgapet beror på att skattesystemet gynnar högkvalificerade företag som framf
