What are the roots of the gender patenting gap? How did the gap evolve since the ‘modern’ patenting system was established? Our knowledge of women’s contribution to innovative activities in the past is extremely sc

It is a well-known fact that when we in Korea find elaborate polite conjugations, that structure and determine everyday interaction, the Danes, on the other side of the Globe, have a habit of saying ‘you’ (‘du’) in almost every context. We are dealing with an Asian language ruled by a high level of honorific phrases and a Scandinavian language characterized by its more unpolished and straightforwa

This study deals with segmental articulations based on acceleration signals from EMA data. We test how well the one-to-one relationship between acceleration peaks and segment boundaries (as described within the framework of the Descriptive Approach to Segmental Articulations) works across different prosodic levels in Swedish, here: focused and unfocused position, with the assumption of a positive

This investigation builds on the conceptual framework, which has been developed from a systematic literature review on the topic of food sharing and enriched with topics from several

Inkomsterna är högre i städerna än på landsbygden. Samtidigt kan det vara dyrare att bo i städer och för den som bor på landsbygden kan resekostnader var höga. Detta väcker en viktig fråga: Är skillnaden mellan städer och landsbygd mindre när man tar hänsyn till skillnader i boende- och resekostnader, dvs. när man använder ett mått på levnadsstandard som även inkluderar kostnader?

Förändrade livsmedelspriser och odlingsförutsättningar gör att jordbrukets inkomster varierar över tiden. Kraftigt sjunkande inkomster kan innebära att jordbrukare lämnar sektorn.
