Recognising the macroeconomic importance of private consumption, this thesis aims at examining possible forces that drive changes the level of households’ consumption. I do so by analysing the relationship of housing wealth, financial wealth, and consumption of households in Sweden in the short and long run. Using an M-TAR approach I find evidence for cointegration of these variables. Housing weal
In a population-based study on cobalamin status and incident fractures in elderly men (n = 790) with an average follow-up of 5.9 years, we found that low levels of metabolically active and total cobalamins predict incident fractures, independently of body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density (BMD), plasma total homocysteine (tHcy), and cystatin C. Cobalamin deficiency in elderlies may affect bon
We consider the phase coherent transport of a quasi-one-dimensional beam of Bose-Einstein condensed particles through a disordered potential of length L. Among the possible different types of flow we identified [T. Paul, P. Schlagheck, P. Leboeuf, and N. Pavloff, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 210602 (2007)], we focus here on the supersonic stationary regime where Anderson localization exists. We generalize
Driving comfort is subjective; every driver has their set of preferences on how a car should behave. As the ability to control and suppress unwanted disturbances has increased with increased technological abilities, the demands on driving comfort in modern cars also rise. To account for these new demands, the testing and evaluation of the driving comfort becomes increasingly important for car manu
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) at in-plane beam loading conditions present a very complex stress state and many failure modes need to be considered in design. The work presented here aims at finding improvements of a specific analytical model for stress analysis and strength verification that has been suggested in literature and which is also suggested as a basis for design equations for the next ve
Background: Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), e.g. relaxation parameter mapping, may be sensitive to structural and compositional tissue changes, and could potentially be used to non-invasively detect and monitor early meniscus degeneration related to knee osteoarthritis. Objective: To investigate MR relaxation times as potential biomarkers for meniscus degeneration through comparison
I samband med digitaliseringen och den ökade användningen av sociala medier har allt fler myndigheter och myndighetsanställda börjat använda sig av sociala medier. De flesta myndigheter har officiella konton på sociala medier där myndighetsföreträdare publicerar inlägg med information för sin arbetsgivares räkning. Även vissa myndighetsanställda, såsom lärare och poliser, har konton på sociala medDue to digitalization and the increased use of social media, more and more authorities and public employees have started to use social media. Most authorities have official accounts on social media where authority representatives publish information on behalf of their employer. Even some public employees, such as teachers and police officers, have accounts on social media with, in some cases, seve
Bakgrund: Avdelningen International Manufacturing (IM) vid Volvo Group Trucks Operations (Volvo) i Göteborg är ansvarig för försörjning och leverans till Volvos internationella produktion. Detta genomförs genom en knock-downprocess, där färdigställda lastbilar skickas i kit för att sedan bli monterade på plats, vid den lokala fabriken. Denna försörjningskedja kräver annan anpassning och hanterar mBackground: The International Manufacturing division (IM) at Volvo Group Trucks Operations (Volvo) in Gothenburg handles the supply of Volvo’s international manufacturing efforts. This is done using knock-down manufacturing where complete trucks are sent in pieces to be assembled at location. IM’s supply chain is nonconforming in both processes and volumes, compared to the central Volvo organizati
Aims and objectives. To present data on Swedish ICU nurses’ attitudes to brain death and organ donation and to test a questionnaire designed to explore these issues in terms of validity and reliability.Background. Previous studies have identified various barriers to organ donation. The single most important factor was the attitude of ICU staff.Design. A 34‐item instrument was developed to explore
This research systematically mapped the relationship between political ideology and receptivity to pseudo-profound bullshit—that is, obscure sentences constructed to impress others rather than convey truth. Among Swedish adults (N = 985), bullshit receptivity was (a) robustly positively associated with socially conservative (vs. liberal) self-placement, resistance to change, and particularly bindi
We evaluated the joint associations between a new 313-variant PRS (PRS313) and questionnaire-based breast cancer risk factors for women of European ancestry, using 72,284 cases and 80,354 controls from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium. Interactions were evaluated using standard logistic regression, and a newly developed case-only method, for breast cancer risk overall and by estrogen recep

In this work we study the problem of constructing precoders for spatially multiplexed multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) channels with close to optimal minimum Euclidean distance. In order to exploit the full potential of such designs, an ML detector must be used. Our design takes the decoding complexity into account and constrain it to a reasonable level. For our simplest case, the ML detector
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling analyseras olika typer av stabilitets fenomen. Först studeras det kvasi-statiska uppförandet av en elastisk struktur som lastas med en växande last. Beteenden vid laster som är högre än bucklingslasten studeras med en vägföljande metod där gränspunkter (limit-points) och bifurkationspunkter kan bestämmas med god noggrannhet och jämviktslösningarna kanIn this thesis different kinds of stability phenomena are analysed. Firstly the quasi-static behaviour of an elastic structure is studied for increasing loading. The post-buckling behaviour is studied numerically with a path-following method where limit points and bifurcation points can be determined with good accuracy and the solutions may be followed out on the secondary branches. Secondly, an a
Transaction costs (TCs) must be taken into account when assessing the performance of policy instruments that create markets for the diffusion and commercialization of low-carbon technologies (LCTs). However, there are no comprehensive studies on the development and application of transaction cost analysis to LCTs. In this meta-analysis, a wide-ranging evaluation of TCs associated with energy effic
Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is one of our most common cancer syndromes and an increasing number of individuals live in families with verified hereditary cancer. We conducted an interview study to explore experiences from and perceived impact on life after genetic testing for HNPCC. Three major themes emerged: reactions and emotions, family relations and implications for life
We examined the spatial and temporal (hourly) variation of aqueous concentrations of mercury in a gold miner's river to determine factors that control transport, retention, and export of mercury. The mercury flux was estimated to account for episodic inputs of mercury through mining tailings, variations in flow rate, and the partitioning of mercury between dissolved and particulate phases. Water s
Wax production is essential for the survivability of Barley (Hordeum vulgare) plants. They use it to fend off bacteria, viruses and helps rinse the cuticular surface from dirt. Much research has been done regarding the genetic regulation and the cer-cqu genes are proven to account for the biosynthesis of wax. A point mutation has been induced within the cer-u region which gives rise to waxless pla
With the RB3-LAND setup at GSI we have measured exclusive relative-energy spectra of the Coulomb dissociation of C18 at a projectile energy around 425A MeV on a lead target, which are needed to determine the radiative neutron-capture cross sections of C17 into the ground state of C18. Those data have been used to constrain theoretical calculations for transitions populating excited states in C18.
