This document presents the methodological approach used in two papers about historical income taxes: “Income taxes and redistribution in the early twentieth century” (Torregrosa-Hetland and Sabaté, 2021) and “Income tax progressivity and inflation during the World Wars” (Torregrosa-Hetland and Sabaté, 2019). We first describe the general method and sources used to obtain synthetic distributions of
In order to provide Internet access to rural areas and places without a reliable economic electricity grid, self-sustainable drone-based cellular networks have recently been presented. However, the difficulties of power consumption and mission planning lead to the challenge of optimal sizing of the power supply for future cellular telecommunication networks. In order to deal with this challenge, t
Our overall understanding of long-term climate dynamics is largely based on proxy data generated from archives such as ice cores, ocean sediments, tree rings, speleothems, and corals, whereas reconstructions of long-term changes in vegetation and associated climate during the Holocene are largely based on paleoecological records from peat and lake sequences, primarily pollen and plant macrofossil
Purpose: Varicocele is a common problem among infertile men. Varicocele repair (VR) is frequently performed to improve semen parameters and the chances of pregnancy. However, there is a lack of consensus about the diagnosis, indications for VR and its outcomes. The aim of this study was to explore global practice patterns on the management of varicocele in the context of male infertility. Material
The paper highlights differences in approaches to teaching English as a second language for primary school children (grade 5) in Sweden and Vietnam. The paper will draw on data collected from classroom, teachers and curriculum on English teaching that reflect the policy of English teaching in the two countries,. Implications for national policies and classroom practices for teaching and learning o
Former research indicates that the crack width close to the bar can be a better indicator for the risk for reinforcement corrosion than, as current concrete codes impose, the crack width at the concrete surface. In this paper a finite-element model is used to increase the understanding of how the crack width varies at different levels from the reinforcement and how different mechanisms control thi
On April 6, 1994, one of the most brutal and effective ethnic cleansing the world has ever seen was to set off. For a hundred days forward, an estimated number of 800.000 people were killed by their neighbors. The French have been accused of knowing about the planning and recruitment to the genocide, they have even been accused of have taken a direct part in the killings. For a long time the Frenc
Förevarande arbete har som målsättning att utreda huruvida en förändring i dödsstraffsdebatten skedde under 1800-talet och 1900-talets första decennier intill dess avskaffande 1921. För att på ett bra sätt kunna företa en sådan granskning inleds uppsatsen med ett avsnitt som kortfattat beskriver den svenska historien för att därefter följas av ett avsnitt enbart rörande dödsstraffsdebatten och avThe goal of the following essay is to investigate any changes in the debate regarding the Swedish death penalty which took place during the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century until the death penalty was abolished in 1921. To be able to undertake such an investigation it’s my personal belief that one first must know the basics of Swedish history. Therefore the essay starts with a
The purpose of this Master’s Thesis is to create a model of a converting line factory. The model will be used to investigate factory performance when altering the order structure as well as other what-if scenarios. The model should also be easily adaptable so that it can be used to model other factories as well without the need to rebuild it from scratch. The main results of this study show that
Daphne Arbouz, Spaces of in-between, ‘hybridity’ self-identification and agency of change in personal narratives of non-belonging, Master’s thesis 30p. Lund University, 2011. Narratives of non-belonging and identity formations surrounding the concept of ‘hybridity’ in autobiographic material are discussed and interpreted. Conflicting views existing between ethnocentrically and multi-pluralistica
The purpose of this article is to examine how social workers may experience fear in their profession, how they and their organizations handle the fear and how the fear may affect their practice. To obtain the purpose, in-depth interviews were carried out with seven social workers from the southeastern part of Sweden. The experiences of fear were many and are summarized in four categories. Fear of
Background: Identifying individuals at high risk of excess weight gain may help targeting prevention efforts at those at risk of various metabolic diseases associated with weight gain. Our aim was to develop a risk score to identify these individuals and validate it in an external population. Methods: We used lifestyle and nutritional data from 53 degrees 758 individuals followed for a median of 5
This thesis discusses the Swedish drug policy and its principle of prohibition. In the world of today there is an ongoing discussion about prohibition and the concept of harm reduction. This thesis is an analysis of Swedish drug policy and an investigation as to whether the prohibition concept is in a state of decline.

The aim with this paper is to investigate how the Social Democratic Party (SAP) deals with the question of economic migrants, or more specifically how the problem is represented by the Social Democratic Party, and how this representation has developed over time. The SAP's theory became recently contested by a competing theory that was caused by the predicted future demographic development in S
The Single Molecule Spectroscopy Group at the department of Chemical Physics in the Chemical Centre of Lund University conducts research involving spectroscopy on single molecules of organic dyes. Fluorescence microscopy using a wide-field scheme has been used and such a scheme has many advantages such as full image capture at once when using a high sensitivity CCD or CMOS camera. Using different
