An essential input to monetary policymaking is inflation forecasting, and one important factor regarding inflation forecasting debated by researchers is the use of a global component. This thesis builds upon Ciccarelli and Mojon (2005, 2010) as well as Gillitzer and McCarthy (2019), who investigate the performance of a global component when forecasting domestic inflation. This paper examines the i

The analysis was made by doing a qualitative content analysis of images and text in order to illustrate the material’s underlying meaning. Theoretical

The Staffordshire hoard was found on 5 July 2009 outside Lichfield, close to Hammerwich. It is one of the biggest hoards that has been found in England. It consists of more than 3000 pieces and has been dated to the Anglo-Saxon period. This bachelor’s thesis in Archaeology examines some of the items in the Staffordshire hoard: two sword pommels, two pyramid- shaped sword fittings, two crosses and

This thesis is an initial attempt to investigate the relationship between premarital pregnancy and women’s career interruption in the Korean context. The case of marriage preceded by pregnancy has increased in South Korea in recent years. Previous studies have focused on the determinants of the premarital conception. However, little research has been done on the relationship between premarital con

Public participation during urban development is key for setting a project up for success and for supporting sustainable growth, but current detailed development plans available in paper-based 2D format are difficult for the public to understand. The literature has shown that the introduction of 3D visualizations can improve citizens’ understanding of a plan proposal; however, moving from static 2

The advantages of performing neutron-tagging measurements using a waveform digitizer are explored. An existing analog setup consisting of modular crate electronics at the Source-Testing Facility at the Division of Nuclear Physics in Lund, Sweden has been digitally replicated. Neutrons are detected using an organic liquid-scintillator detector while the corresponding 4.44 MeV gamma-rays are detecte

Trommespill er min forskning på å spille tromme på en avslappet og presis måte for å effektivt spille tromme. Det er ikke en forskning på generelt trommespill i orkester, jazz og andre sjangere, men heller rettet mot spesifikt trommesoloen jeg spiller på min eksamen: Mudra av Bob Becker. Dette solostykket går fort og er teknisk vanskelig. Kan jeg finne en teknikk som gjør at jeg kan spille det braDrumming is my research on being able to play drums in a relaxed matter while still being able to play my solos well. I have taken my drum piece: Mudra as an example. I play this at my exam concert. This piece is technically difficult. Can I learn a method of playing this piece well and still be relaxed? My method is to research into drummers who can play like I want and try to learn from them. I

I denna uppsats har jag undersökt och tillämpat två olika instuderingsmetoder och tagit reda på hur effektiva de är vid instudering av olika typer av musikstycken. Jag har även reflekterat över möjliga utvecklingsområden för de båda metoderna. Med den ena metoden utgår jag mer från musiken och dess karaktär och den andra mer utifrån ett tekniskt perspektiv. Jag har övat in fyra olika stycken, tillIn this essay I have analysed and applied two different methods of practice and found out how effective they are when studying different kinds of musical pieces. I have also reflected on how to improve the two methods. One of the methods centres around the music and it’s character and the other one around a more technical point of view. I have studied four different pieces and applied the two diff

This thesis uses data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey to assess to test for differences in life satisfaction between rural and urban inhabitants. Individual level data including various demographic and socio-economic variables is used to test for the relationship. Results suggest that life satisfaction in urban Indonesian areas is higher than that in rural regions. Furthermore, satisfaction

Medellivslängden för människor runt om i världen är högre än någonsin. Äldre personer löper högre risk för att drabbas av kroniska sjukdomar, inklusive kronisk njursjukdom. Patienter med dysfunktionella njurar behöver dialys. Njurarnas huvudfunktion är att rena blodet från restprodukter och överflödigt vatten. År 2018 hade Sverige 4101 dialyspatienter av vilka 1026 hade hemdialys. En dialyspatientThe average life expectancy for people around the world is higher than ever before. Older people are at higher risk of suffering from chronic diseases, including chronic kidney disease. Patients with dysfunctional kidneys need dialysis. The main function of the kidneys is to clean the blood from waste products and excess water. In 2018, Sweden had 4101 dialysis patients of which 1026 had home dial

During the last years, virtual 3D city models have been widely used in application fields such as urban planning, environment simulations, and disaster management. With the development of high-rise buildings and the increasing densely built-up areas, an increasing number of authorities and companies have shown interest in integrating 3D city models with the cadastre. This is because on one hand, t

Chile has been benefited from a commodity boom in the copper industry during the first decade of the 21st century. Does a mineral boom increase local labour opportunities? Can women get benefit from a resource boom? Can the mineral boom have indirect effects in non-mining sectors? The present paper attempts to explore and measure the impact of an exogenous increase in copper global prices between

En renare miljö eller påminnelse att fimpar också är skräp minskar mängden fimpar som slängs på marken. Nedskräpning är ett stort och allvarligt problem både på ett miljömässigt och på ett samhällsmässigt plan. Plast är enligt genomförda skräpmätningar den överlägset vanligaste skräpkategorin i våra parker, städer och på våra stränder. Cigarettfimpen toppar listan inom kategorin – runt 1 miljard Various research and initiatives are being done to decrease the amount of litter in our environment. The most common type of litter found in our parks, cities and on our beaches is plastic, where cigarette butts are one of the most common subcategories. To be able to take effective measures against such a hazardous problem as this, one must look to the source of it – in this case human littering b

In this thesis the prospect of using cereal oil as a natural emulsifier after enzymatic treatment was investigated. A lipase was used in both free and immobilized form. Hydrolysis reactions were carried out using two different oil in water (O/W) emulsions. Microscopy of emulsion formation was visualized, and droplet size was obtained using a particle size distribution analyzer (PSD). Lipid extract

The evolution of inequality in Latin America, particularly in Mexico, is a topic of growing interest among economists, economic historians and policy makers. For the Mexican case, this study empirically estimates, for the first time, the evolution of Mexican inequality before 1950. This thesis produces a new database and employs it to construct social tables for four benchmark years, 1895,1910,193

Vi står kanske inför en av vår tids största samhällsutmaningar då forskare menar att vi är på väg att möta den sjätte massutrotningen. Kontinuerligt rapporteras det om hur djurbestånd dör ut och om diverse klimatkatastrofer vilket till stor del beror på mänsklig aktivitet. Skolan är en av samhällets främsta institutioner som socialiserar barn och unga och spelar en viktig roll i en eventuell framt
