Sex chromosomes were discovered more than 100 years ago. They have been studied intensely from a theoretical perspective since then, giving rise to a large body of testable predictions about their evolution from autosomes. A common feature of sex chromosomes is recombination suppression between the sex chromosome copies (X and Y in male heterogametic systems, or Z and W in female heterogametic sys

Vad innebär värden och ideal som exempelvis jämlikhet, trygghet och personlig autonomi i migrationspolitiska frågor? Bör välfärdsstaten och jämlikheten inom landet prioriteras, vilket skulle motivera en mer restriktiv migrationspolitik? Eller bör global utjämning av individers säkerhet och livskvalitet prioriteras genom en öppnare migration? Politiker och engagerade medborgare har nytta av att bek

A variable gain transimpedance amplifier (TIA) is presented featuring single-ended to differential conversion by means of negative feedback. The proposed topology also ensures stability when amplifier gain is varied. Furthermore, effective input capacitance of the TIA is reduced by using a positive capacitive feedback. The circuit is intended for intermediate frequency (IF) over fiber systems, but

Selecting requirements for a release of software is a difficult undertaking as people have trouble comparing requirements of different types and have natural biases towards short-terms gains over longer-term sustainability. Portfolio theory is proposed as a solution to this problem, as it provides a method for balancing investment options to maximize the likelihood of a given return. This approach

Trust is one of the key factors that determines success or failure of any software project. However, achieving and maintaining trust in distributed software projects, when team members are geographically, temporally and culturally distant from each other, is a remarkable challenge. This paper explores the dynamics of trust and best practices performed in software organizations to address trust-rel

This article considers some of the issues presented during a Swedish International Fiscal Association(IFA) branch seminar held in December 2020 arising from the implementation by the EU Member Statesof the contemplated OECD Pillar One and Pillar Two rules based on the Blueprint of October 2020.Additionally, the article addresses comments issued by the Biden administration on possible progress onth

This paper presents the results of systematically reviewing the current research literature on the use of agile practices and lean software development in global software engineering (GSE). The primary purpose is to highlight under which circumstances they have been applied efficiently. Some common terms related to agile practices (e.g. scrum, extreme programming) were considered in formulating th

Modern agricultural production typically requires large quantities of chemical pesticides, a potential source of both environmental and human harm. Previous social science research has suggested that environmental problems such as those associated with pesticide use may begin to decline at higher levels of economic development. Using fixed effects models, we examine whether this possible relations

We propose a novel method for variable selection in functional linear concurrent regression. Our research is motivated by a fisheries footprint study where the goal is to identify important time‐varying sociostructural drivers influencing patterns of seafood consumption, and hence the fisheries footprint, over time, as well as estimating their dynamic effects. We develop a variable‐selection metho
