In 1920, the working day in Swedish industry and services was cut from 10 to 8 hours without wages being cut correspondingly. This change resulted in a dramatic wage push, with real wages increasing by about 50 percent in the years from 1919 to the deflation of 1921–22. This paper studies the consequences of this wage push for real wages, unemployment, profits and investments. Since agriculture wa

A successful previous project E-GIS (Leonardo da Vinci programme) was implemented during 2002-2006. The objectives were to establish co-operation between European Universities and GIS users and to develop modularised courses intended for flexible learning. Ten partners from six European countries (BU, LT, NO, NL, PT, SE) participated. During the project a study program, 100 % Internet based, corre

Rapporten presenterar resultat från ett forskningsprojekt ”Mäta resfria möten” (MRM), som bedrivs av Internationella miljöinstitutet (IIIEE) vid Lunds universitet i 2011-2014 med finansiering från Energimyndigheten och Trafikverket, och syftar till att utveckla ett ramverk, indikatorer och metoder för utvärdering, uppföljning och redovisning av resfria möten (RM), deras användning och effekter på

Konflikten om Nagorno-Karabach, bergiga Karabach, som i våra dagar associeras med perioden för Sovjetunionens sönderfall vid slutet av 1980-talet, är egentligen betydligt äldre och kan spåras tillbaka till åren efter första världskriget. Den moderna konflikten startade 1988 då den lokala sovjeten i den autonoma enklaven Nagorno-Karabach den 20 februari 1988, med siffrorna 110 mot 17, röstade för e

This report summarizes 28 case studies addressing the common interest for indicators in case studies in Nordic and Baltic countries and is distributed to different building types – Benchmarking systems and indicators (4 case studies) – Offices (7 case studies) – Housing (8 case studies) – School and nursery (5 case studies) – Shopping centres (3 case studies) – Hospital (1 case studies) There are

A numerical model of nearshore waves, currents and sediment transport was developed. The wave conditions were calculated by the Modified-EBED model and the surface roller was modeled following the approach of Daily and Brown (1995) with an enhancement of the energy flux term in the alongshore direction. Nearshore currents and wave setup were determined by the depth-averaged momentum equations toge

On impermanence themes in the song writing and multiple musical and lyrical personas of Bob Dylan - a retrospective overview

The adsorption at solid/liquid interfaces of b-lactoglobulin (b-lg) A and B have been studied by in situ ellipsometry and related to the properties of these proteins in solution. At low temperatures (4-25°C) the adsorption of the b-lgs was found to be highly related to their self-association behaviour in solution. The adsorption isotherms at 25°C, both on methylated and hydrophilic silica, showed

A group of worldwide virtual reality and health-care researchers have decided to combine their efforts in a multidisciplinary project titled VETERAN – virtual environments in the diagnosis, prevention and intervention of age-related diseases. The main goal of the VETERAN project is the tuning and testing of different virtual environments, designed to address the cognitive/functional impairments th
