Investor sentiment is an important research object in behavioral finance, and its analysis has been one of the hot topics in stock market research recently. As an abstract concept, investor sentiment needs to be visualized by the construction of the investor sentiment index. In 2006, Baker and Wurgler proposed the Baker & Wurgler (BW) index, which can reflect investor sentiment in the American
Reppe, a starch factory within the concern of Lantmännen is mainly producing starch from wheat but also gets gluten as a product in the process. Currently, the wheat gluten is primarily used to improve the properties of flour for bread-making and as an additive in the baking industry. But there is an interest to explore new uses of the product. To make this possible, the solubility of gluten has t
This essay aims to investigate how Amnesty International handles the so called peace versus justice dilemma in post-conflict societies. This is done by studying a number of Amnesty publications published between 1996 and 2000, concerning various aspects of justice within the peacebuilding-process in Sierra Leone. More concretely, what is studied is whether Amnesty tends to prefer judicial (trials)
ECDS, Environment Climate Data Sweden, is a commitment that SMHI rendered the Science Council of Sweden. Their purpose is to assist with search, documentation and publication of data regarding environment and climate. ECDS oer services for data stored in their database. One such service that very useful is THREDDS, Thematic Realtilme Enviromental Distributed Data Service, which is a tool to make s

Catalysts are used to produce a large fraction of the materials we use in our modern society. Avery famous example is the highly efficient catalysts that are used to fix nitrogen from the air intoartificial fertilizer salts. Without this catalytic process, it is difficult to imagine that we could feedthe current population of earth. Artificial fertilizers are, however, not the only product that usCobalt oxides are known to be active catalysts for a number of chemical reactions, but very little is known about the atomic scale processesresponsible for the activity. The research presented in this thesis is focused on obtaining an atomic scale understanding of the chemistry of wellcharacterizedcobalt oxide model catalyst surfaces consisting of pristine and defective CoO and Co3O4 thin films wi
Ring width (TRW) chronologies from Siberian (Pinus sibirica) and Scots (Pinus sylvestris) pine trees were sampled at Mukhrino – a large mire complex in central-western Siberia – to evaluate the impacts of hydroclimatic variabil- ity on tree growth over the last three centuries. For this purpose, we compared climate-growth correlation pro- files from trees growing on peat soils with those growing oRing width (TRW) chronologies from Siberian (Pinus sibirica) and Scots (Pinus sylvestris) pine trees were sampled at Mukhrino - a large mire complex in central-western Siberia - to evaluate the impacts of hydroclimatic variability on tree growth over the last three centuries.

Since Ethiopia has a high number of recorded adverse birth outcomes, the city of Adama was subjected to a study (Flanagan et al., 2022) that gathered data from 2085 pregnancies. This thesis utilizes that data to investigate the usage of machine learning in environmental epidemiology. Using the classification methods logistic regression, random forest, support vector classifier, and k-nearest neigh

This paper concerns Sec. 23 the Codetermination at Work Act, and the necessary conditions for when a collective agreement is considered to exist and the relevance of contract of law when it is applied. The idea is to point at areas within contract of law that becomes particularly important at the application. The paper begins with a chapter that, in short terms, describes the background within co
The aim of this master thesis is to explore which meanings that can be ascribed to knowledge organization in the field of library- and information science. This I do through studying two works that deal with this subject, namely Everything is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder by David Weinberger from 2007 and Organization of Information by Arlene G. Taylor and Daniel N. Jourdrey
This thesis is essentially a political jurisprudential case study of two labor disputes and their judicial aftermaths. The two cases studied are the highly publicized Laval and Viking cases, and the theoretical model employed is Alec Stone Sweet's model on judicialization and the construction of governance. The paper is made up of six sections. After the introductory section, I introduce the r
BACKGROUND: Sabellarids, also known as honeycomb or sandcastle worms, when building their tubes, produce chemical signals (free fatty acids) that are responsible for larval settlement and the formation of three-dimensional aggregations. The larval palps and the dorsal hump (becoming the median organ in adults) are presumed to participate in such a substrate selection during settlement. Notably, th
We study the radial migration of stars as a function of orbital action as well as the structural properties of a large suite of N-body simulations of isolated disc galaxies. Our goal is to establish a relationship between the radial migration efficiency of stars and their vertical action. We aim to describe how that relationship depends on the relative gravitational dominance between the disc and
Developments in sequencing technologies and the sequencing of an ever-increasing number of genomes have revolutionised studies of biodiversity and organismal evolution. This accumulation of data has been paralleled by the creation of numerous public biological databases through which the scientific community can mine the sequences and annotations of genomes, transcriptomes, and proteomes of multip
Contemporary music practitioners have recently begun using the concept of curatorial practice borrowed the visual arts to describe both artistic experimentation with formats, as well as institutions’ experimentation with both programming and their own organizational functioning. This article surveys a number of these initiatives across Europe, identifies four interrelated approaches to curatorial
The idea of a Nordic community, even though it was a reality in the past and is still a quite tangible idea in the present – because all Nordic countries have striking similarities – is often obscured by the more recent idea that the nation always comes first, and for quite some time now the Nordic countries have been anxious to set themselves apart from their closest neighbour in particular.In th
A growing empirical and theoretical literature has investigated to what extent socioeconomic inequalities are influenced by the outcomes and characteristics of ancestors prior to the parental generation. This study contributes by examining multigenerational associations of adulthood earnings and occupational status in the entire Swedish population of boys and girls born 1968–1976, amounting to alm
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), including acute myocardial infarction (AMI), are a leading cause ofmorbidity and mortality worldwide. Accurate risk evaluation in patients presenting with chest pain isessential for optimizing emergency department (ED) resource allocation and patient outcomes. Currentclinical decision support tools rely on structured risk scores and biomarker measurements, such as hi
