This paper investigates the impact of economic policy uncertainty on the Britishinterwar economy. A new index constructed from contemporary newspapersindicates that this was a period of great uncertainty. Time series and narrativeevidence suggests that this uncertainty reduced output, raised unemployment andcontributed to macroeconomic volatility.

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are less physically active and more sedentary than other children which implies risk factors for their physical and mental health. Physical activity on prescription (PAP) is an effective intervention to promote a lifestyle change towards increased physical activity in adults in general. Knowledge is lacking about the use of PAP in children with CP. Therefore, the

We aimed to estimate and compare within-day energy balance (WDEB) in athletes with eumenorrhea and menstrual dysfunction (MD) with similar 24-hour energy availability/energy balance (EA/EB). Furthermore, to investigate whether within-day energy deficiency is associated with resting metabolic rate (RMR), body-composition, S-cortisol, estradiol, T3 , and fasting blood glucose. We reanalyzed 7-day di

Aims/hypothesis: Obesity is associated with glucose intolerance and insulin resistance and is closely linked to the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes. In mouse models of diet-induced obesity (DIO) and type 2 diabetes, an increased fat intake results in adipose tissue expansion and the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. The innate immune system not only plays a crucial role in obesity-a

Neurological disorders are among the main clinical problems affecting preterm children and often result in the development of communication and learning disabilities later in life. Several factors are of importance for brain development, however the role of immunoglobulins (passive immunity transfer) has not yet been investigated. Piglets are born agammaglobulinemic, as a result of the lack of tra

In this paper, scattering of electromagnetic waves by discrete, randomly distributed objects inside a (finite thickness or semi-infinite) slab is addressed.In general, the non-intersecting scattering objects can be of arbitrary form, material and shape with a number density of $n_0$ (number of scatterers per volume).The main aim of this paper is to calculate the coherent reflection and transmissio

In this eye-tracking and drawing study, we investigate the perceptual grounding of different types of spatial dimensions such as DENSE–SPARSE and TOP–BOTTOM, focusing both on the participants’ experiences of the opposite regions, e.g., O1: DENSE; O2: SPARSE, and the region that is experienced as intermediate, e.g., INT: NEITHER DENSE NOR SPARSE. Six spatial dimensions expected to have three differ

Entreprenörskap och egenföretagande framställs idag som betydelsefulla faktorer avseende både tillväxt, sysselsättnings- och integrationsproblem. I en ny kunskapsöversikt presenteras och diskuteras kunskap om invandring och företagande ur ett internationellt och svenskt perspektiv. Översikten redogör för om det finns något särskilt som karaktäriserar utlandsföddas företagande exempelvis vad gäller

Complex-valued dynamics can be used for modeling rotationally invariant two-input two-output systems and bandpass systems when they are considered in the baseband. In a few instances, control design has been done in the complex domain, which facilitated analysis and synthesis. While previous work has been application specific, we will discuss more generally how complex valued dynamics arise, basic

Two-dimensional electron gases with strong spin-orbit coupling covered by a superconducting layer offer a flexible and potentially scalable platform for Majorana networks. We predict Majorana bound states (MBSs) to appear for experimentally achievable parameters and realistic gate potentials in two designs: either underneath a narrow stripe of a superconducting layer (S stripes) or where a narrow
