In 1880 Serhiy A. Podolynsky (1850–1891) described the human economy as a metabolic flow of energy and was later praised for it by ecologist Vladimir Vernadsky, whereas his work encountered strong criticism by Friedrich Engels. However, the notes taken by Karl Marx were rather neutral in tone. In this article, we use primary sources in Ukrainian and Russian, including Vernadsky’s diaries and corre

Additive manufacturing (AM) makes it feasible to realise complex lattice structuresthat provide structural flexibility through engineered structural design rather thanrelying solely on material softness. Across sectors such as furniture, healthcare,protective equipment, and robotics, such flexibility is a core functional requirement,that influences comfort, fit, impact response, lightweighting, an

Using population-wide data on Swedish university researchers and teachers, we identify the effects of parenthood on academic careers. Leveraging staggered event-study models that compare mothers and fathers around first birth, we document widening gender gaps in publication output, wage income, promotion, and PhD completion. These gaps arise across all scientific fields. We further document substa

Cryo-scanning electron microscopy (CryoSEM) permits the preparation and detailed imaging of bulky samples while keeping them in a hydrated state. For plant biology, cryofractures give information on cell ultrastructure and tissue organisation within a much larger context that is the whole organ or organism. To date, a method to locate fluorescence reporters on the cryofracture has not been reporte

Background Early-onset depression contributes significantly to long-term disability and suicide, making high-quality healthcare for young people with depression a critical concern. Medical record review (MRR) is widely used to assess healthcare quality. However, its application to depression care for children and adolescents appears underexplored, with no consensus on conceptualising or measuring

Let Hd2 be the Drury–Arveson space, and let f∈Hd2 have bounded argument and no zeros in Bd. We show that f is cyclic in Hd2 if and only if logf belongs to the Pick-Smirnov class N+(Hd2). Furthermore, for non-vanishing functions f∈Hd2 with bounded argument and H∞-norm less than 1, cyclicity can also be tested via iterated logarithms. For example, we show that f is cyclic if and only if log(1+log(1∕

The Israel – Iran intelligence contest exemplifies hybrid conflict conducted below the threshold of open war. This study examines Israel’s penetration of Iran’s intelligence and security apparatus and the Islamic Republic’s counterintelligence (CI) response using open-source material within a dual-lens framework. Lens 1 traces Israeli operations from early assassinations and cyber sabotage to the

Geographical Indications (GIs) are collective property rights, which identify a good as originating from a specific geographical region. If the producers of GI products can signal to the consumers the specific qualities their products possess, qualities that are attributable to the land, then – due to the products ties to their region of production – GI products are considered to have potentials t

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate international specialisation and trade patterns in the Romanian automotive industry. This was done in view of the Romanian EU accession in 2007, both in relation to the original 15 EU members and in the global context. The two measures used are Balassa’s Revealed Comparative Advantage measurements and the Grubel-Lloyd measure for Intra-Industry Trade.

Syftet är att beskriva och analysera VBM och BSC samt diskutera möjligheten att integrera dessa. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ metod där teoretiska begrepp inom Value Based Management och Balanced Scorecard analyseras och jämförs med empiriska undersökningar i form av intervjuer. Kombinationen av VBM och BSC resulterar i ett lämpligt styrverktyg för många företag. Det är ingen perfekt kombinatio

Charged-particle fragmentation functions for jets azimuthally balanced by a high-transverse-momentum, prompt, isolated photon are measured in 25 pb-1 of pp and 0.49 nb-1 of Pb+Pb collision data at 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The measurements are compared to predictions of Monte Carlo generators and to measurements of inclusively selected

This paper investigates flight-to-safety from stocks to bonds in six European markets. We use quantile regressions to identify flight-to-safety episodes. The conditional risk-return trade-off on the stock markets is negative. Flight-to-safety episodes strengthen the negative trade-off. The effects of flight-to-safety episodes on the trade-off are qualitatively similar for own country flight-to-saf
