Time Consistency of Fiscal and Monetary Policy: A Solution
No full textThis paper demonstrates how time consistency of the Ramsey policy–the optimal fiscal and monetary policy under commitment–can be achieved. Each government should leave its successor with a unique maturity structure for the nominal and indexed debt, such that the marginal benefit of a surprise inflation exactly balances the marginal cost. Unlike in earlier papers on the topic, the result holds for quite a general Ramsey policy, including time varying polices with positive inflation and positive nominal interest rates. We compare our results with those in Persson, Persson, and Svensson (1987), Calvo and Obstfeld (1990), and Alvarez, Kehoe, and Neumeyer (2004).time consistency; Ramsey policy; surprise inflation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
With Care and Contempt Our Palms are Crossed by Each Other Or Notes on the Work of Martha Ossowska Persson
No full textA catalogue essay interrogating the work of Martha Ossowska Persson and specifically her employ of watercolour as a media, by which to challenge gender-normativised understandindgs of that media by using it subversively to engage with concerns of attentiveness and coercion; of approval and disavowal; of independence and interdependence, of abuse and accommodation; of care and scrutiny; of exposure and absorption and the tensions of being pushed away whilst seeking to pull life closer
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Impersonal Style and the Form of Experience in W. G. Sebald's The Rings of Saturn
No full textThis article argues that W. G. Sebald’s prose fiction reverses the traditional positioning of the witness as a point of singularity, and that it instead theorizes a relationship to the act of witnessing that, while anchored in personal experience, is imbued at its core with impersonal form. Using The Rings of Saturn as my central example, I demonstrate that it is the tension between the immediacy of first-person experience and the characteristic distance of Sebald’s style that makes possible the narrator’s attunement to the “traces of destruction” that he encounters during his walk, and to which he bears witness both in and through his narrative. Sebald’s witnessing, then, is less a relation between past and present or witness and event than it is a critical orientation that produces the imperative to bear witness as a function of the very permeability of these categories.Peer reviewe

Contact mechanics and rubber friction for randomly rough surfaces with anisotropic statistical properties
No full textIn this paper we extend the theory of contact mechanics and rubber friction developed by one of us (B.N.J. Persson, J. Chem. Phys. 115, 3840 (2001)) to the case of surfaces with anisotropic surface roughness. As an application we calculate the viscoelastic contribution to the rubber friction. We show that the friction coefficient may depend significantly on the sliding direction, while the area of contact depends weakly on the sliding direction. We have carried out experiments for rubber blocks sliding on unidirectionally polished steel surfaces. The experimental data are in a good qualitative agreement with the theory
ATT LEVA MED REUMATOID ARTRIT OCH DESS PÅVERKAN PÅ DAGLIGT LIV
No full textLindkvist, R & Persson, E. Att leva med reumatoid artrit och dess påverkan på dagligt liv. En litteraturstudie. Examensarbete i omvårdnad 15 högskolepoäng. Malmö universitet: Fakulteten för Hälsa och samhälle, Institutionen för vårdvetenskap, 2020.
Bakgrund: reumatoid artrit, som förkortas RA, är en kronisk och inflammatorisk ledsjukdom. Sjukdomen som också kallas för ledgångsreumatism angriper de perifera lederna i kroppen. De mest berörda områdena i kroppen är lederna i händer och fötter men sjukdomen kan även yttra sig extraartikulärt vilket innebär att andra system och vävnader kan angripas av RA. En vanlig följdsjukdom till RA är kardiovaskulära sjukdomar som exempelvis stroke och hjärtinfarkt. Utan läkemedelsbehandling kan RA även leda till ledförstörelse. Sjuksköterskans uppgift i farmakologisk behandling är att dämpa smärtan och inflammationen enligt ordination. Personcentrerad omvårdnad där samspel mellan patient, sjuksköterska och andra personer som är viktiga i patientens liv är grundläggande i beslutfattande av vård. Modellen dagligt liv funktionellt hälsotillstånd av Carnevali finns som ett stöd för sjuksköterskan att identifiera omvårdnadsproblem och fastställa behov och resurser till individen för att bibehålla livskvalitet i det dagliga livet. Syfte: syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att undersöka hur personer med RA upplever att sjukdomen påverkar deras dagliga liv. Metod: litteraturstudien är skriven i kvalitativ ansats. Totalt valdes 11 artiklar efter relevans bedömningen. De 11 artiklarna gick vidare till kvalitetsbedömning som granskades av författarna som var oberoende av varandra. Resultat: Tre teman framgick efter författarnas tolkning av artiklarnas resultat. De tre teman som svarade på litteraturstudien syfte var: Fysisk påverkan på dagligt liv, psykisk påverkan på dagligt liv och social påverkan på dagligt liv. Konklusion: Det dagliga livet med RA påverkas av fysiska, psykiska och sociala aspekter. Dessa tre teman integrerar med varandra och bildar en helhet som påverkar individen som lever med RA i varierande grad. Nyckelord: dagligt liv, kvalitativ litteraturstudie, omvårdnad, påverkan, reumatoid artrit.Lindkvist, R & Persson, E. Living with rheumatoid arthritis and the impact on daily life. A literature review. Degree Project in nursing 15 credit points. Malmö University: Faculty of Health and Society, Department of Care Science, 2020.
Background: rheumatoid arthritis, abbreviated in RA, is a chronic and inflammatory joint disease. The disease, also called arthritis, attacks the peripheral joints of the body. The most affected areas of the body are the joints of the hands and feet but the disease can also manifest extra articular, which means that other systems and tissues can be attacked by RA. Cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction are more common when you have RA. Without drug treatment RA can also lead to joint destruction. As a nurse, the pharmacological treatment is important and alleviate the pain and inflammatory as prescribed. Interaction between patient, nurse and other related people is fundamental in making common decisions in care, also called person-centered care. The model daily life functional health status, of Carnevali, works as a support for the nurse to identify problems in nursing and determine needs and resources for the individual to maintain quality in daily life. Purpose: to investigate the experiences of people living with RA and the impact on daily life. Method: the literature review was written with a qualitative approach. A total of 11 articles were selected to the result and were qualified by two independent reviewers. Result: Three different themes were discovered of the articles results. The themes that answered the purpose of the literature review were: Physical impact on daily life, psychological impact on daily life and social impact on daily life. Conclusion: RAs impact on daily life has physical, psychological and social aspects. These three themes integrate with each other and result in a entirety which affects each individual with RA to a varying degree. Keywords: daily life, impact, nursing care, rheumatoid arthritis, qualitative literature review
