A secondary sexual character may act as an honest signal of the quality of the individual if the trait bears a cost and if its expression is phenotypically condition dependent. The cost of increasing the trait should be tolerable for individuals in good condition but not for those in a poor condition. The trait thus provides an honest signal of quality that enables the receiver to choose higher qu
Adaptive structures adapt to the changing circumstances in their environment using sensors and actuators, they may for example change their shape to be optimised for a specific load case when that load case is present. The building industry need to reduce its climate impact, low-carbon solutions are in demand. Structures must be designed so that the design load does not cause failure, due to stres
The purpose of this study is to empirically test whether earnings management (both accruals-based and real) has an impact on the cost of public debt (approximated by credit ratings and bond yields) issued on the European bond market. Using a cross-sectional approach, accruals-based and real earnings management are estimated. The estimates are then used as explanatory variables in both an ordered r
Quantifying how variable temperature regimes affect energy expenditure during development is crucial for understanding how future thermal regimes may impact early life survival and population persistence. Developmental cost theory (DCT) suggests that there is an optimal temperature (Topt) that minimises energy expenditure during development (the ‘cost of development‘). Exposure to fluctuating temp
Abstract in Undetermined This paper describes a way to modify the K-Best Sphere Detector, using the knowledge that the real and the imaginary part of complex number are always orthogonal. To ensure that this property is used, a modification to the Real Value Decomposition is proposed that will ensure that the orthogonality is seen also after the decomposition. The proposed method allows for equall
Background and aims: To estimate short- and long-term costs of inpatient hospitalization in Sweden for major diabetes mellitus-related events. Materials and methods: Costs were estimated using administrative hospital data from the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare, which is linked to the Swedish National Diabetes Register. Data were available for 179 749 patients with diabetes in Sweden
This thesis aims to shed light on the impact of the so-called Pay as You Save® (PAYS ®) or on-bill programmes for energy efficiency improvements in the building sector. These programmes are based on an innovative financing model that was developed to overcome several barriers to the up-take of energy efficiency measures by households and businesses. From the consumer’s side, these barriers include
The purpose of this project was to reduce the production cost of the drive unit from AB Ph. Nederman & Co product Flowline with 50 % to make it more competitive, and the result is this report as well as a fully operational prototype. During the process I have looked into all of the functions of the existing product and have tried to improve them. The function which I have put most time and eff
OBJECTIVES: Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. The condition and its treatment often lead to marked morbidities and, for some patients, premature death. Inferentially, HNC imposes a significant economic burden on society. This study aims to provide a comprehensive and detailed estimation of the cost of illness of HNC for Sweden in 2019.METHODS: This is a prevalen
