For a few years’ time, there have been those who say that American power is declining relatively to its counterparts on the major power arena. According to Power Cycle Theory the probability of major war is highest when a major power is close to a critical point. In this paper I am testing the proposition made by the power cycle theory, that the probability of a major war is higher in a critical p
This essay describes the will of states to cooperate in organizations so that they can respond towards relative power changes between them. The focus of the essay is Russia’s interests to cooperate in Central Asia in the organization Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). I use Kenneth Waltz theory about defensive realism and Robert Keohane and Joseph Nye’s theory about interdependence to descri
Since the seminal work of Archibugi and Michie (1995) on the globalization of innovation, several authors have attempted to understand the complex relationship between innovation and internationalization. However, most tend to focus on industrialized countries, just one mode of globalization of innovation and often one traditional indicator of innovation, such as patents or R&D investment, thu
Impulsive noise is one of the most challenging forms of interference in an underwater acoustic environment. In this paper, we present an underwater acoustic channel deconvolution method based on a sparse representation framework. The application of the method enables a channel impulse response reconstruction that is robust to impulsive noise. By exploiting the inherent structure in the channel res
Kvartal English Version ‘The West, and especially America, is principally responsible for the crisis which began in February 2014’ John J. Mearsheimer, 19th March 2022 Who is to blame for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? The simple answer is the man who ordered the invasion, Vladimir Putin. Moving up one level of analysis, one could reasonably cite Russian neo- imperialism, fueled by booming hydrocar

This thesis examines the acquisition of Japanese vocabulary by Swedish L1 speakers learning Japanese as a second language, and how well their proficiency, acquired through formal education in Sweden, aligns with the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) standards. The study also compares the recognition rates of different types of word classes such as nouns, adjectives, and verbs across variou
An optical system for digital light processing car headlamps was designed and optimized in this project. The specifications include five lens elements and a field of view of 15 degrees horizontally and 7.5 degrees vertically. The system consists of an illumination module and a projection lens assembly. A high-brightness LED source and a rectangular light integrator ensure uniform illumination on t
The distribution of 1.198 Malmö alleles was examined in 822 men from 16 indigenous populations and 188 women from 7 of the ethnic groups. Subjects were from several European countries, the Mediterranean, East Asia, and the USA (Anglo- and African-Americans). The frequencies of the rarer (Malmö B) allele were approximately equal across Europe, the highest frequencies (0.36) being in the French and
In order to develop reliable communications links for high speed railway (HSR) systems, accurate models for the propagation channel are required. The radio channel properties in HSR scenarios are different from those in cellular scenarios not only due to the high velocity, but also due to the special construction elements and the type of surroundings along the train lines. This paper focuses on th
We use Baker, Bloom, and Davis’s (2016) economic policy uncertainty indices in combination with the mixed data sampling (MIDAS) approach to investigate long-run stock market volatility and correlation, primarily for the US and UK. Long-run US–UK stock market correlation depends positively on US economic policy uncertainty shocks. The dependence is asymmetric, with only positive shocks - increasing
Governments increasingly rely on new information and communication technology to connect with citizens. An important aspect of this e-governance is to enhance openness to empower citizens. Nonetheless, it is debated whether the digitization of government has in fact led to increased transparency, or whether governments primarily use the online interfaces to enhance social control. From a critical

Scientific evidence shows that extractivism, as a development model reliant on the extraction of natural resources, has significant impacts on communities and ecosystems in the Global South, but also in the Global North. The members of the Extractivism Research Network share an interest in understanding how extractivism plays out in shaping development prospects both empirically and theoretically.
