This article should serve as an introduction to a relatively new topic in ethnological studies requiring very specific methods as it involves both offline and online research as well as material objects and immaterial practices. How do we embark on an interdisciplinary venture such as this, and be sure to produce qualitative research of high standard? How should gaming mothers best be studied? In

The marginal pricing power and individual impact of proxies used in international asset pricing and financial integration studies is not well researched. In this study I look at the most widely used proxies; i.e. World Index Return, change in Eurodollar rate, change in spread between 10-year U.S. T-bond and 3-month U.S. T-bill, and change in spread between Baa and Aaa rated bonds; and ascertain wh

Listening in public diplomacy is a rather new topic in academic discussions. Early public diplomacy scholarship was dominated, and in large degree continues to be dominated, by a focus on crafting messages and influencing. The more recent focus on relationship management and collaborative public diplomacy allowed for discussions about another role for listening. Yet, as some scholars pointed out,

Increasing global production fragmentation allows for outsourcing of emissions, which may undermine national climate policies. Researchers focusing on the gap between consumption-based and production-based emissions have concluded that developed countries are systematically outsourcing emissions to developing countries. However, asymmetries in emissions embodied in trade may emerge due to differen

Problemformulering: Internationalisering, högre volatilitet på efterfrågan och snabbare försörjningskedjor är faktorer som gör den globala kedjan mer komplex. Därför strävar organisationer efter en bättre bild av deras försörjningskedja realtidsprestanda. Därför behövs en lösning som möjliggör en bättre förståelse av komplexiteten och gör kedjan mer effektiv. Värt att nämna är att bättre synlighetProblem Definition: Internationalisation, higher demand volatility, and faster Supply Chain (SC) speed are factors that are making the global SC more complex. Therefore, organisations strive for a better picture of their SC real-time performance. Hence, a need for a solution that allows a better understanding of the complexity and makes the chain more efficient is required. It is worth mentioning

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can accurately measure left ventricular (LV) mass, and several measures related to LV wall thickness exist. We hypothesized that prognosis can be used to select an optimal measure of wall thickness for characterizing LV hypertrophy. Subjects having undergone CMR were studied (cardiac patients, n = 2543; healthy volunteers, n = 100). A new measure, global wal

The future overall trends of desalination cost are estimated using least-square fitting method based on Excel, and four major impact factors, named technology, feed water, energy sources and capacity, are discussed and prospected. Five different types of desalination technology are presented and bench-marked for long-term use. RO and MSF are dominant technologies. Six different input water sources

Spatially and temporally explicit canopy water content (CWC) data are important for monitoring vegetation status, and constitute essential information for studying ecosystem-climate interactions. Despite many efforts there is currently no operational CWC product available to users. In the context of the Satellite Application Facility for Land Surface Analysis (LSA-SAF), we have developed an algoriSpatially and temporally explicit canopy water content (CWC) data are important for monitoring vegetationstatus, and constitute essential information for studying ecosystem-climate interactions.

Cell culture techniques are strongly connected with modern scientific laboratories and production facilities. Thus, choosing the most suitable medium for the cells involved is vital, not only directly to optimise cell viability but also indirectly to maximise the reliability of the experiments performed with the cells. Fetal bovine or calf serum (FBS or FCS, respectively) is the most commonly used

In this paper we consider the estimation of the weights of optimal portfolios from the Bayesian point of view under the assumption that the conditional distributions of the logarithmic returns are normal. Using the standard priors for the mean vector and the covariance matrix, we derive the posterior distributions for the weights of the global minimum variance portfolio. Moreover, we reparameteriz
