Lunds universitet har uppmanats att ge synpunkter på rubricerad remiss. Universitetet lämnar här följande kommentarer vilka har utarbetats vid Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet av docent Fredrik N G Andersson och professor emeritus Lars Jonung. Inflationsmålet infördes för över 25 år sedan. Villkoren för att bedriva penningpolitik har förändrats på ett omvälvande sätt under detta kvartssekel.
A solution to the quasistatically propagating mode III crack in an elastic perfectly plastic solid is obtained as the limit solution for vanishingly small linear strain hardening. A point above or below the crack plane will experience, first, a centered fan slip line field followed at the angle ±32.8° ahead of the crack tip by elastic unloading and, finally, from the angle ±179.7° to the crack sur
For a long time, the predominant method for detection of quick clay in Sweden has been to take undisturbed samples and to perform fall-cone tests on the clay in its undisturbed and remoulded state. In connection with a large stability investigation covering both sides of the Gota River, from the lake Vanern to the city of Gothenburg, the usefulness of CPTu and static pressure sounding for mapping
The work presented concerns validation of a specific analytical model for Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) at in-plane beam loading conditions. The original model (model A) has previously been presented in the literature and is also suggested to be used as a basis for design equations for the next version of Eurocode 5. An improved version (model B) of that original model (model A), regarding basic as
Tests were done measuring resistivity and time domain induced polarisation using standard multi-core cable spreads and a special layout with separate cable spreads for transmitting current and measuring potentials. For both types of cables spreads both normal and reciprocal measurements were done in order to estimate the measurement errors. The tests were done on a former landfill in Lund in Swede
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and its determinants in a systemic sclerosis (SSc) multinational inception cohort. We performed a meta-analysis of data from individual countries, and compared the meta-analysis to individual country results by pooling data from each of the countries.METHODS: SSc patients within 2 years of disease onset were recruited from 5 countries
Academic training, where senior scientists transfer their knowledge and skills to junior scientists through apprenticeship, plays a crucial role in the development of scientists. This study focuses on two aspects of academic training, autonomy and exploration, to investigate how different modes of training are incentivized and how they affect junior scientists’ performance and career prospects. Dr
METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis of the prospective EULAR Scleroderma Trial and Research database (EUSTAR) was performed. Patients fulfilling preliminary ACR 1980 classification criteria for SSc, with less than 3 years from the first non-Raynaud's symptom at first entry, were selected. A group of patients with less than 3 years from the first SSc symptom, including Raynaud's phenomenon, was als
This essay discusses the commemoration of the Mughal emperor Humayun (r. 1530–40, 1555–56) by his son Akbar (r. 1556–1605), focusing both on Akbar’s practice of visiting the tomb and the way in which these tomb-visits were dealt with by contemporaneous chroniclers. The article shows how Akbar’s chief ideologist, Abu’l Fazl, misrepresented Akbar’s history of visiting his father’s tomb, predating th
The Bahrāmī Safavids, a relatively unknown collateral branch of the Safavid dynasty, active in Iran from 1517 to 1593, played a crucial role in dynastic developments in Safavid Iran. This essay examines the dynastic developments of the Safavid rulers and their contemporaries to argue that they embarked on a process of dynastic centralization, presenting themselves increasingly as the only holder
