Triples of Orthogonal Latin and Youden Rectangles For Small Orders
Journal of Combinatorial Designs, Volume 27, Issue 4, p. 229-250, doi.org/10.1002/jcd.21642 Abstract We have performed a complete enumeration of nonisotopic triples of mutually orthogonal Latin rectangle. Here we will present a census of such triples, classified by various properties, including the order of the autotopism group of the triple. As part of this, we have also achieved the first enumeration of pairwise orthogonal triples of Youden rectangles. We have also studied orthogonal triples of rectangles which are formed by extending mutually orthogonal triples with nontrivial autotopisms one row at a time, and requiring that the autotopism group is nontrivial in each step. This class includes a triple coming from the projective plane of order 8. Here we find a remarkably symmetrical pair of triples of rectangles, formed by juxtaposing two selected copies of complete sets of mutually orthogonal Latin squares of order 4.
Technology, National Identity and the State: Rise and Decline of a Small State’s Military-Industrial Complex
The following paper traces the emergence of a Swedish military-industrial complex through its heydays to its eventual decline, to identify factors which distinguish the Swedish case. The paper argues

Is Early Retirement Encourage by the Employer? Labor-Demand Effects of Age-Related Collective Fees
The objective of this paper is to examine how employers’ non-wage costs for their workforce affect voluntary early retirement, using the case of the Swedish private sector. The results show that a 1 p

Cohort Effects on Earning Profiles: Evidence from Sweden
This paper estimates cohort size effects on earning profiles and whether these are affected by an individual’s position in the Swedish Baby Boom and Baby Busts. Amongst other, it is found that higher
Predicaments in the Futures of Aging Democracies
Alternative demographic scenarios for Sweden are used to illustrate how even very small variations in the assumptions of demographic projections lead to radically different future population structure
