This paper investigates the impact of hosting refugees on long-run economic growth for 15 European nations between 1985-2014. It does so by implementing asylum- applications as a proxy for refugee flows and introducing the variable to the augmented Solow-Swan model. A dynamic panel model is then estimated using OLS, Fixed Effects and Generalised Methods of Moments (GMM) estimation methods. These m

Penalty shootouts have become paradigmatic for research on anticipatory skills and decision making. The present study examines the dynamics of goal side selection when viewing realistic images depicting a penalty kick scenario. A sample of participants (n=40) was drawn from a population of students from Lund University. Participants viewed realistic images of a goalkeeper, soccer goal, and ball pl

The current trend around vehicle automation can be likened to a technological race to achieve the maximum amount of automation possible, aiming for complete ‘Automated Drive’ (AD). The development on the way to a full AD experience includes a range of supporting functions like blind spot warning or collision aid, to advanced driver assistance systems like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Pilot As

Play has a crucial role in children’s development. (Jeffery, 2012) While children playing, they see through the world which children experience their world and the world of others. Yet despite of fact that play is beneficial to children, the opportunity of interaction and parental engagement are limited nowadays in the digital era(Aleeya, 2019).

Inclusion in the digital society can lead to improved communication and access to information which increases informed decision making and productivity for individuals and businesses. In turn, this has a positive effect on the socio-economic development of a country. Worldwide, more women than men lack the knowledge of, and access to, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) such as comput

Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is performed in order to detect freezing of gait (FOG) in gait acceleration data. The data is collected from 10 healthy test persons, imitating Parkinson's disease (PD) gait, with the cellphone application Medoclinic. Feature spaces are constructed and reduced with principal component analysis (PCA), on which LDA is performed. The best performing model constr

Today’s flow of technological advancements is putting pressure on organisations to maintain a digital transformation to stay competitive in their industries. According to previous research, digitally mature organisations have significantly higher profitability and revenue growth compared to lower-maturity organizations. This study aims to describe the main challenges and solutions met by managers

The focus on sustainability has increased in our society during the last years and more firms are conducting CSR reports than ever before. Some claim that firms CSR efforts are only window dressing while other claims that sustainability leads to greater profitability for firms. Previous research is ambiguous when it comes to explain how and if sustainability efforts lead to higher profitability. S

On the basis of the recommendation of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision to transition from Value-at-Risk (VaR) to Expected Shortfall (ES) in determining market risk capital, this paper attempts to investigate whether a Recurrent Neural Network provides more accurate VaR and ES predictions of the EUR/USD exchange rate compared to the conventional GARCH(1,1) model. A number of previous stud

The European spruce bark beetle is considered as one of the most destructive forest insects to Norway spruce trees in Europe. Climate change may increase the frequency and intensity of bark beetle outbreaks. It is therefore of vital importance to detect the bark beetle outbreaks and take it under control to prevent further damages. Remote sensing techniques may provide a cost-efficient solution to

Många avloppsreningsverk har inte den reningen som krävs för att fånga upp läkemedelsrester vilket leder till att resterna hamnar i miljön. Hittills har läkemedelsresterna inte varit ett så stort problem, men på grund av ett mer frekvent användande av läkemedel blir det allt vanligare att högre koncentrationer av läkemedelsrester återfinns i akvatiska miljöer. Några av dom som återkommer högst i uPharmaceutical residues are becoming more appearing in aquatic systems and it is affecting aquatic organisms. A literature analysis was made to determine if biochar can adsorb pharmaceutical residues and if it is more effective than the already established filter material active carbon. This study shows that biochar has good promises to be able to act as a filter to adsorb pharmaceutical residues.

While society becomes increasingly visualised, and research has argued for visuals being inherently strategic, strategic communication research lacks a visual perspective. To address this problem, this study investigates how challenger brands communicate visually and how the visuals’ meaning adds to the challenger narrative. Challenger brands are chosen as an example because of their determined mi
