För finansiella institutioner vars affärsmodell bygger på att låna ut pengar är det högst relevant att på ett så säkert sätt som möjligt kunna avgöra om en potentiell kund är lönsam eller inte, det vill säga om det är troligt att denne betalar tillbaka sin skuld i det fall han eller hon beviljas ett lån. För att skatta sannolikheten att en kund hamnar i fallissemang och för att diskriminera mellan

Many things have been written about Shakespeare’s comedies The Taming of the Shrew and Much Ado About Nothing yet few scholars have looked at the father-daughter relationships in any detail. This essay explores the father-daughter roles in these two plays and looks at the spectrum of contrasting relationships Shakespeare presents us with. The father roles in both plays are similar, but the daughte

Eutrophication is one of the biggest threats to aquatic ecosystems. As nutrient load increases in marine environments in the Öresund and Baltic Sea and dead zones grow, Swedish municipalities further their efforts in limiting the amount of nutrients delivered into those environments. Since the majority of nutrients enter aquatic systems through surface flow as a result of nutrient leakage, a relia

Cosmopolitan theory has long argued that the world is becoming increasingly interconnected. Through borderless phenomena such as climate change, and through globalizing processes such as cross-border mobility and the global market, we are becoming increasingly aware of their social and political impact as global news and debates fill our social media channels. To this end, cosmopolitan theory argu

Temporary agency work is an ongoing trend that has been growing largely in the recent years. It is defined by a triangular relationship between temporary agency workers (TAWs), temporary agency, and clients. Furthermore, it is associated with low status and low-skilled job tasks.

Despite a small population, Australia is globally relevant as the largest per capita emitter of greenhouse gases in the OECD and the world’s largest exporter of coal. Australia is also uniquely positioned amongst developed nations as being both acutely exposed to climate change impacts and being without coherent energy and emissions policies. This study reassesses Australia’s emissions profile uti

Research on developing economies has largely ignored the possibilities for shifting the center of attention towards well-being instead of economic growth. Due to the deficiency of research on well-being, especially with regard to ICT, this study approaches the current research gap and attempts to integrate recent literature by proposing a combination of frameworks and indicators. Kenya is not only

To allow further device scalability within the data storage industry there needs to be continued research of new technologies. One promising technology is the Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM), based on magnetoresistive elements, which is non-volatile; consume low power and have fast read and write operations. To make the technology scalable, the bit (the smallest element in the MRAM) needs to
