Objectives: Cognitive aging has been extensively investigated using both univariate and multivariate analyses. Sophisticated multivariate approaches such as graph theory could potentially capture unknown complex associations between multiple cognitive variables. The aim of this study was to assess whether cognition is organized into a structure that could be called the “cognitive connectome,” and
This chapter critically analyses SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth) and its targets from the perspective of degrowth, and suggests how the economy and work could be reoriented towards socio-ecological transformation. First, it problematizes the goal of perpetual economic growth, which is not compatible with ecological sustainability because of the impossibility of decoupling GDP growth from m
The growth of social science and sociology during modernity has always been characterized by a will to create predictability for human actions, under the modern conditions of liberty seen as contingent, unpredictable and unstable. To gain systematic knowledge became a way to solve, counteract or radicalize tensions in society, and thus outweighing the risks of contingency. Furthermore, this develo
Leadership in foreign policy has been a much debated and contested issue in the history of European integration. Two key challenges of leadership have been the distance to the European publics and the absence of a coherent voice in the world. The aim of this paper is to examine leadership in the context of the mediatization of politics, specifically in the field of foreign policy. We argue that th
Global demand for transportation biofuels has increased significantly stimulated by policy interventions seeking GHG emission reductions, improved security of supply and rural development opportunities. However the impact on an increasing use of biofuels on land use and cover has become a global concern. While policy interventions have led to increased use of biofuels, certification is often regar
Att tala om energipolitik är ingen helt enkel uppgift. Beroende på vilkadimensioner av energifrågan som sätts i fokus kan diskussionerna handla omsåväl tillväxtpolitik, miljömål, tekniska innovationer – och säkerhet. För attnärma sig begreppet energisäkerhet krävs en förståelse av å ena sidanenergisystemet, vad det är som ska säkras, och å andra sidan säkerhetspolitik,vilka strategier som fungerar
A Large Intelligent Surface (LIS) is a recently proposed concept, especially suitable for high speed indoor communications and industrial internet of things (IoT) applications. Basing the LIS on smaller panels has clear advantages in terms of flexibility and mass production of its elements. In this paper we consider a panel-based LIS and we study the interplay of the panel size, the number of base
BACKGROUND: Atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) reflects longitudinal left ventricular (LV) systolic function, and wall thickening (WT) regional radial LV function. The temporal evolution of these measures after STEMI with CMR has not been evaluated. We aimed to investigate how AVPD and WT are affected globally and regionally from the sub-acute to the chronic phase after ST-elevation myocar
The dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems are shaped by the coupled cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, and these cycles are strongly dependent on the availability of water and energy. These interactions shape future terrestrial biosphere responses to global change. Here, we present a new terrestrial ecosystem model, QUINCY (QUantifying Interactions between terrestrial Nutrient CYcles and the
Simulations of future tropospheric composition often include substantial increases in biogenic isoprene emissions arising from the Arrhenius-like leaf emission response and warmer surface temperatures, and from enhanced vegetation productivity in response to temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentration. However, a number of recent laboratory and field data have suggested a direct inhibition of le
Globalization has both contributed to a large increase of Chinese MNCs and affected the way culture is transferred around the globe. Particularly, this gives rise to the phenomenon of different cultural influences in the subsidiaries of Chinese MNCs. This thesis therefore aims at contributing to the understanding of how managers at Scandinavian subsidiaries of the Chinese multinational company Len
Purpose:Rapid changes in diet, physical activity and food systems have contributed to rising obesity in developing countries. As national incomes increase, obesity often shifts from higher to lower socioeconomic groups, a process known as the obesity transition. Small Island Developing States (SIDSs) face particular risks because of limited health system capacity, geographic isolation and dependen
Shared micromobility has been recognized as a promising contributor to sustainable urban transportation systems. Owing to their convenience and efficiency, shared e-scooters have gained widespread adoption globally and emerged as a rapidly growing mobility option. Understanding the relationship between subjective human perception of urban landscape and e-scooter usage intensity is crucial, as it c
Parallel tempering (PT) is a classical Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for sampling from challenging distributions. It employs a sequence of distributions interpolating between a simple reference distribution and a complex target distribution to aid sampling at the target. Non-reversible parallel tempering (NRPT) is a variant of PT that has been shown to outperform standard, reversible variants
Titel: Investor relations - En studie av de svenska börsföretagens IR-funktioner, deras möjligheter att utveckla relationer till kapitalmarknaden, samt hur informations- och kommunikationstekniken har påverkat och kan påverka deras arbete. Författare: Mike Burko, Kerstin Mühlow och Martin Persson Handledare: Jörgen Carlsson och Ingmar Tufvesson Syfte: Resultatet av undersökningen syftar till att g
Today’s society is deep rooted in a clothing oppression. Even though many coun-tries acknowledge and justifies the freedom of opinion and expression, civilization itself seems to develop this oppression. Where there are no binding laws deciding for what the citizen are allowed to wear, the society is soon there to correct an occurrence of insolence. Women tend to be specifically exposed to this di
INTRODUCTION: Cognitive impairment is common in parkinsonian disorders, but its extent among older adults with subtle motor abnormalities without a diagnosed movement disorder remains unclear. We examined cognitive decline, domain-specific cognitive function and incident dementia in older adults with subthreshold parkinsonism and parkinsonism (primary analysis). Sensitivity analyses were repeated
