Open Source Software (OSS) has become an increasingly important knowledge asset in modern economies. However, the economic impact of OSS on countries’ GDP is ambivalent due to its public good character. Using a cross-country panel from 2000 to 2018, including 25 of the largest EU countries plus the USA, Japan, Korea, Canada, China, Norway, and Switzerland, matching OSS commits to GitHub to macroec

In this perspective article, we call for more engagement with the unexplored politics of residual emissions. Residual emissions are those emissions that remain at the point of net zero, despite abatement efforts. Unlike carbon dioxide removal, which has been the focus of a lively research and policy debate, the notion of residual emissions remains relatively unexplored so far. With the mainstreami

En god hälsa är grundläggande för barns och ungas utveckling, och en förutsättning för socialt och ekonomiskt deltagande under livet. Således innebär bördan av psykisk ohälsa stora utmaningar för både individ och samhälle. Det har rapporterats att den psykiska ohälsan ökar i Sverige dels bland den yngre befolkningen, dels i vissa grupper av den vuxna befolkningen. Det finns svårigheter med att mätThe purpose of this thesis is to improve the understanding of factors related to mental ill-health, and itsdistribution, in the Swedish population. The thesis consists of four studies. In study I, we find thatbetween the years 1994 and 2011, the probability of receiving a psychiatric inpatient diagnosisincreased by 12.6 percent, while the relative and absolute income-related inequalities in diagno

This report presents showcases of active teaching and learning in spatial data infrastructure education in the SPIDER partner universities. It includes detailed descriptions of the practices that have been implemented, as well as the results of the evaluation of the practices from an active teaching learning perspective.

This report looks at different methods of active teaching and learning and the application of these methods at the partner universities of the SPIDER project. Different methods of on-campus and online teaching are presented and reports on experiences in their application at the partner universities are discussed. In combination with the results from Intellectual Output (IO) 4, this results in best

Det kan inte ha undgått någon att USA drabbats av en mental växthuseffekt. Den politiska hettan är besvärande, debattklimatet minner om rötmånad och giftalgerna sipprar ut i omvärlden. Mot den bakgrunden är det intressant att följa den amerikanska högerns långsiktiga utveckling för att få perspektiv på hur det har kunnat gå så illa. Det finns förvisso redan en sån litteratur, även på svenska. Jag

Det tyska dramat upphör aldrig att fascinera. Forskare publicerar en strid ström av nya böcker om samspelet mellan kejsare och kansler. Och en hel del annat. Benny Carlson vandrar med stora män på riskfyllda vägar.

This work considers the topology optimization of hyperelastic structures for maximum stiffness (minimum compliance) subject to constraints on their volume and maximum stress. In contrast to almost all previous works, we subject the structures to nonproportional loading, wherein the maximum stress does not necessarily occur at the final load step. As such, the stress is constrained at each load ste

In Sweden, Denmark and Norway, activation policies are used to speed up refugee’s entry into the labour market. Previous research on activation policy documents has shown that refugees are ethnicised in the framing, development, and design of activation, but research on activation practices are lacking on how activation practices targeting refugees are organized and conducted, and why that is. Thi

Background: Anemia is a severe public health problem affecting more than half of children under five years of age in low-, middle- and high-income countries. We aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with anemia among children under five years of age in northern Tanzania. Methods: This was a community-based cross-sectional study conducted in Rombo district, Kilimanjaro region, no

Benthic nitrogen fixation has been estimated to contribute 15 Tg N year(-1) to the marine nitrogen budget. With benthic marine nitrogen fixation being largely overlooked in more recent surveys, a refocus on benthic diazotrophy was considered important. Variations in nitrogenase activity (acetylene reduction-gas chromatography) in a tropical lagoon in the western Indian Ocean (Zanzibar, Tanzania) w
