Recent energy tensions have added to the pressure that global warming has been exerting for an energy transition towards low-carbon energy sources such as renewable energy sources (RES). This study proposes a novel methodology to inspect the interactions between wind and solar energy development relative to other RES and a wide range of socioeconom...

One of the main indicators of human development is the integral indicator Human Development Index, which includes an assessment of the quality and standard of living of the population, and also takes into account the level of educational development of the population. The authors identified the development of network interaction between universitie...
From a macroeconomic viewpoint, development theories have ranged from those that privilege international cooperation to those that maintain that the alternative for overcoming poverty is sustainable economic growth. In the middle has been development economics, whose studies have moved away from fieldwork as a modality for empirical research. The p...
Bakgrund: Globala händelser som krig, pandemier och naturkatastrofer påverkar snabbt ekonomier världen över. De så kallade "Black swan events" beskriver oförutsägbara och ytterst ovanliga händelser som kan resultera i extrema konsekvenser. Under det senaste århundradet har kriser som världskrigen, den stora depressionen och finanskrisen 2007 format...
Well-being and human development are two concepts within the development debate that are often used as different but defined and operationalised in very similar ways. This has led to a diffuse differentiation between them, where it is unclear what we include in either concept, which can cause validity problems in e.g. research, as it is not clear w...
This capstone project focused on technology and internet use among university students. The focal issue is unhealthy use of technology and the internet, as in overuse on a daily basis. What is constituted as overuse of technology and internet use are reduction of physical activity and poor posture, eye strain, poor sleep habits, and anxiety. Given ...
The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic augmented the propensity for fake news globally. Today, over 90% of the global population depends on the internet for information. However, there is an enormous difference in fake news propensity in different countries. Thus, one must understand what factors influence the propensity for fake news during the COVID...
There are numerous signaling dynamics involved in gastrulation. Using biophysical modelling, we find that liquid-liquid phase separation significantly improves the processing of transcriptional factor β-catenin in the canonical WNT signaling cascade. Using a finite element method, we find that a nucleating region can facilitate a nearly two-fold in...
This article collects specific results regarding the role of evangelization and the formation of ex-cellent human beings, authentic Christians and true servants of society through the transversal educational proposal Proyecto de Vida-SEAB, implemented in all the institutions of the Educa-tional System of the Archdiocese of Bogota.
