This study examines the immediate impact of the U.S. steel and aluminum tariff announcement on February 10, 2025, on the stock prices of publicly listed firms in the United States and Japan. Employing a dynamic Difference-in-Differences (DiD) framework, we compare cumulative weekly stock returns of firms in the steel and aluminum sectors (treatment group) with those in other metals and mining sect
Within organizational families, listening between coworkers plays an essential role in enabling organizational success and the effective enactment of family dynamics. It allows information to circulate, collaboration to take place, and trusting relationships to develop. Yet, coworkers’ listening processes, agency and experiences in an organizational family continue to be overlooked by organization
Amid overlapping global crises, many individuals experience psychological distress, anxiety, hopelessness, and a diminished sense of agency. Scholars increasingly argue that this erosion of perceived significance may be as consequential as climate change, biodiversity loss, polarization, and political turmoil, as it stems from a growing disconnection or alienation from self, others, and nature at
Abstract: Influence of Carboxypeptidase B corona on polystyrene nanoparticles on the toxicity for Daphnia Magna Florian Grohmann Introduction: This project investigated the expression, purification and influence on the toxicity, of small polystyrene nanoparticles (53 nm) on Daphnia Magna, of Carboxypeptidase B. Background: Nanoparticles have become increasingly of interest for the science communi
What is the effect of foreign events on ideas and discourses at the national level? This paper argues that a foreign event may set in motion an ideational momentum that gives positive attention to certain ideas, strengthening the credibility of political actors that hold these ideas, and hurting the credibility of actors promoting competing ideas. Based on a regression discontinuity design and qua
Mammals express thirteen different isoforms of the membrane-bound water channel aquaporin in a tissue-dependent manner. From a medical point of view, two of the most studied isoforms are aquaporin (AQP0), also known as major intrinsic protein and aquaporin 2 (AQP2). AQP0 is exclusively expressed in the mammalian eye lens and responsible for the transport of water across lens fiber cell membranes t
A computational method is described and tested for prediction of ligand-binding poses between the human farnesoid X receptor and a set of 36 potential agonists, provided by the D3R Grand Challenge 2016. Using tools such as Molecular Docking, Molecular Dynamics, Reconnaissance metadynamics and cluster analysis, the method is an attempt to predict the binding pose without being biased by experimenta
Axis cameras can detect motion and track object, but lacks object classification. This often gives rise to false alarms, which are triggered by non-human activity. The cameras cannot tell the difference between a tree blowing in the wind, which is a non-human activity, and a person breaking an entry, which is a human activity. This becomes a problem as false alarms can be resource consuming for op
Since the building stock stands for significant part of the EU’s total energy use, energy renovations are needed in order to lower the negative environmental impacts. In Sweden, only 1 % of the total building stock is newly built i.e. the focus should be directed upon existing buildings. Moreover, most of the buildings in the “Million Program” from 1970´s are in need of renovations in order to kee
The U.S. decision to partner with the Kurdish militia YPG to combat ISIS in Syria has caused its longstanding ally Turkey to align with Russia and Iran, and risks doing permanent damage to the NATO-alliance, ostensibly to the detriment of U.S. national interests. Taken at face value, this seems to contradict standard notions in neo-realist theory about state behavior. Given this seeming paradox, a
Inför en digitaliserad, global ekonomi, vari nära hälften av multinationella företagsvinster går obeskattade, står vi på randen till en ny ordning för gränsöverskridande företagsbeskattning. Med sin tvåpelarlösning söker OECD lägga de första byggstenarna. En internationell minimiskatt, att krävas ut från stora multinationella gruppers slutliga föräldrar, föreslås att mota baseroderande skatteplaneFacing a digitalized global economy, where almost half of multinational corporate profits go untaxed, we find ourselves on the verge of tax revolution. With its two-pillar solution, the OECD seeks to lay the first building blocks of a new system for cross-border corporate income taxation. To counter avoidance, states are presented with an international top up minimum tax, to be charged at multinat
The future price of the FOREX rate is important for export-dependent countries and companies and the research regarding price prediction of FOREX is skewed towards the major currency pairs, leaving the smaller currency pairs to be unexplored. The study aimed to answer if the Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) or the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is the most suitable model for forecasting the rate of a s
En tredjedel av maten vi produceras slängs, mat som har tagit resurser och landyta i anspråk för att bli till. För att få bukt med det globala matsvinnet har FN satt ett hållbarhetsmål att halvera matsvinnet inom mathandel och hushåll till 2030. En faktor som kan kopplas till matsvinn är förpackningar. När de används korrekt förhindrar förpackningar matsvinn genom att ge skydd och ökad hållbarhet,Globally, about a third of the food produced is wasted. To address this issue, the United Nations has set a sustainability goal of reducing food waste in retail and household by 50\% to 2030. One factor that can be connected to the generation of food waste is packaging. When applied correctly, packaging prevents waste by providing protection and shelf life, but when packaging does not meet consume
Background Many companies today spend more than half of their sales turnover on purchased parts and services. One dollar saved in purchasing costs contributes straight to the bottom line of the company in theory. Besides from accounting, sourcing and purchasing activities contribute to risk management and value improvement. (Van Weele, 2014) Still, many practical challenges of implementing balance
Freedom of expression, including media freedom and pluralism, are at the core of the democratic processes. Media pluralism requires transparency, freedom and diversity in Europe’s media landscape. The broad perception and definition of the terms are based upon the willingness to charge media freedom and pluralism with expectations of very significant and sometimes even unachievable social and poli
By using panel data for 21 counties in Sweden from 2003 to 2013, the purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between tourism development and economic growth in this country, within the neoclassical growth framework. To address the objective of this study, the appropriate panel data methods are used, namely both static and dynamic panel approaches. The results show that tourism is a po
We have cloned the guinea pig neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y1 receptor and found it to be 92-93% identical to other cloned mammalian Y1 receptors. Porcine NPY and peptide YY (PYY) displayed affinities of 43 pM and 48 pM, respectively. NPY2-36 and NPY3-36 had 6- and 46-fold lower affinity, respectively, than intact NPY. Functional coupling was measured by using a microphysiometer. Human NPY and PYY were eq
