Bivariate extreme value distributions can be used to model dependence of observations from random variables in extreme levels. There is no finite dimensional parametric family for these distributions, but they can be characterized by a certain one-dimensional function which is known as Pickands dependence function. In many applications the general approach is to estimate the dependence function wi

How do contracting capabilities affect contractual preferences and economic institutions? According to the learning to contract literature, contractual parties over time learn to discover more efficient ways of governing exchange relationships, thereby reducing transaction costs when governance structures are gradually better aligned with transaction attributes. However, the introduction of learni

Under what conditions do firms in buyer-supplier relationships learn to contract? The development of contracting capabilities is typically understood as a function of experiential learning from past contracts. However, learning to contract is also likely affected by the organizational and institutional conditions under which contracts are entered. Based on five inductive case studies of buyer-supp

How do organizations learn to contract in public procurement? Previous research on learning to contract highlights the importance of contracting capabilities for successfully managing buyer-supplier relationships. According to this research, the design of supplier contracts should be aligned with the attributes of the transaction, which require specialized knowledge that is typically dispersed acr

Haemophilia A (HA) is a hereditary bleeding disorder, characterised by deficiency of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). Repeated joint bleeds can lead to permanent joint damage. FVIII replacement therapy has a high cost and can reduce but not completely prevent bleeding. This thesis aims to promote personalised treatment and optimised outcomes through a clinical and pharmacokinetic characterisation.

The deliberation that precedes or runs alongside the remaking of cities, buildings and landscapes seem almost by default to generate situations with unsatisfied stakehold-ers, neglected citizen groups or completely ignored voices. What does it mean to find, listen and respond to those concerned by alteration of built environments? Here, in this paper, citizen participation, its ideological and pol

Located in southernmost Sweden, Malmö is part of the quickly developing urban landscape that defnes that part of the country, and it is in close proximity to the Danish border. Like many other coastal and border regions around the globe, this Scandinavian region experiences continuous population profle changes related to migration and is also facing rising sea levels; these conditions demand renew

In this paper, a view will be given on the establishment of large scale science facilities in Lund, Sweden, recognizing some of the recent political changes of this region around the end of 20th century and start of the 21st. During this time the well-renowned social democratic welfare politics in Sweden gave way to a more pragmatic third way politics with clear marks of a neoliberalist housing ma

This study describes long-term observer-reported cognitive decline among Danish OHCA survivors, including differences in years since the event, and investigates characteristics and self-reported outcomes associated with observer-reported cognitive decline.MethodsAdults who survived an OHCA from 2AimLong-term cognitive decline after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is still poorly understood.

Samtiden präglas av sociala mediers flöden med allt från kakrecept till konspirationsteorier, algoritmernas enorma makt och samtidigt osynlighet, och en framväxande generativ AI:s kapacitet att sprida lögner, påhittade bilder och videor. Kan källkritik, en metod som en gång utvecklats inom historievetenskapen, vara lösningen på de många utmaningar som samhället står inför? I boken Källkritik: männ

Background Evidence-based medicine recognizes that clinical expertise gained through experience is essential to good medical practice. However, it is not known what beliefs clinicians hold about how personal clinical experience and scientific knowledge contribute to their clinical decision making and how those beliefs vary between professions, which themselves vary along relevant characteristics, Background: Evidence-based medicine recognizes that clinical expertise gained through experience is essential to good medical practice.

States have discretion what concrete measures to undertake to fulfil their primary positive obligations under the ECHR. If a violation of these obligations is found, states also have discretion how to execute the judgment to comply with their secondary obligations. Yet, when the Court reasons to reach a conclusion whether there has been a violation, it necessarily specifies possible concrete measu
