Lateralization is the functional specialization to use one brain hemisphere to carry out certain cognitive tasks. Lateralization is widespread across numerous taxa and gives the organism the possibility to increase neural capacity without increasing brain size. The degree and direction of lateralization varies within populations, suggesting that there also are disadvantages to being lateralized. H

Inverters synthesizing output voltages consisting of two levels, commonly known as two-level inverters, have dominated the global market for a long time. Today, further emphasis is being put on inverter efficiency and power quality. One way of improving these aspects is to use an inverter synthesizing a staircase voltage waveform consisting of three or more levels. Such inverters are known as mult

I syfte att öka konkurrenskraften för byggande i limträ finns det intresse av att utveckla ett nytt standardiserat koncept för hallbyggnader. Ett effektivt sätt för att bygga hallbyggnader är att utföra dessa med fackverkstakstolar. Det största konkurrerande materialet är stål. En stor ekonomisk osäkerhet för limträkonstruktioner är knutpunkterna. Det huvudsakliga syftet med det här arbetet är att

The paper investigates the development potential of this innovative cooperation strategy for Africa based on the theoretical foundation of an unbalanced growth-strategy, offering a new perspective of understanding the role of SEZs as a devel

Sociologen Wuokko Knockes forskning från 1986 påvisade hur kvinnor med utländsk bakgrund diskriminerades på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Det rådde arbetskraftsbrist inom industrin under denna period vilket bidrog till att invandrarkvinnor ofta blev hänvisade till denna sektor, och där blev tilldelade de mest lågvärderade, tyngsta och enformigaste arbetsuppgifterna, och inom den offentliga sektorn

This study explores methods for mitigating procyclicality due to calculations of minimum capital requirements to cover credit risk. The basis for calculations are provided by the Basel Committee in the Basel accords and the main concern is that they could strengthen the amplitude of economic cycle fluctuations. Our study constructs a portfolio that aims to replicate the Swedish market for corporat

All cops are bastards, at least according to some youths in Malmö. Research shows that there is an overall trust in the Swedish Police amongst citizens, including youths.
