The European Commission’s Decisions addressing tax rulings which came into the public domain in November 2014 as constituting State Aid (contrary to Article 107 TFUE) after Lux-Leaks have generated some discussion. Of paramount interest in this thesis is the Commission’s declaration in the Belgium Excess Profits, Fiat and Starbucks Decisions that the European Union has its own ALP (hereinafter cal
Internationellt motsvaras svensk idé- och lärdomshistoria av flera olika forskningsinriktningar ”intellectual history”, ”cultural history” samt ”history of ideas” och ämnet har således en förhållandevis bred forskningsprofil. Här finns en äldrehistorisk inriktning liksom en sedan länge etablerad stark filosofihistorisk tradition och en senare inriktning mot begreppshistoria. Till detta kommer flerResearch in history of ideas and sciences at Lund University is broad. Our specialities include studies of early modernity, history of philosophy and a more recent emphasis on conceptual history. In addition to this, several researchers are showing an interest in the history of science, technology and medicine. These different orientations within the field of History of Ideas and Sciences at Lund
Thesis purpose: The purpose is to enhance the understanding of the influence inclusion has on Generation Y consumers when utilised in fashion brands. By isolating two areas of interest namely marginalised gender and size, we aim to provide insight into their effects on the attitude and purchase intention. Methodology: A deductive approach and therefore a quantitative research design is chosen. T

We collaborate with teachers and educational leaders in developmental projects. Our research in medical education concerns areas related to our practice such as Problem Based Learning (PBL), workplace learning and supervision, PhD student supervision and
Age-related decline in cardiac function can be prevented or postponed by lifelong endurance training. However, effects of normal ageing as well as of lifelong endurance exercise on longitudinal and radial contribution to stroke volume are unknown. The aim of this study was to determine resting longitudinal and radial pumping in elderly athletes, sedentary elderly and young sedentary subjects. Furt

Obesity is a complex disease with multiple well-defined risk factors. Nevertheless, susceptibility to obesity and its sequelae within obesogenic environments varies greatly from one person to the next, suggesting a role for gene x environment interactions in the etiology of the disorder. Epigenetic regulation of the human genome provides a putative mechanism by which specific environmental exposur
The latest years have seen the worldwide interest around wind power increasing significantly. Italy as well has joined this global movement. But does the Italian wind power industry have the capabilities for a substantial and sustainable future growth? This paper analyzes the Italian wind power sector using a slightly modified Porter’s diamond model in a comparative analysis with the Spanish one,
Our research uses advanced technology to generate neurons from novel cell sources with the aim to extensively define the subtype and function of the generated neurons and their potential for therapeutic use in the future. For this we are using reprogramming technology in animal models or human stem cell culture system, together with electrophysiology, RNA sequencing, tracing technologies and cell
Earlier studies have shown that when assessing explanations of psychological phenomena, there is a bias for explanations including references to neuroscience, even when these references contain logically irrelevant information (Fernandez-Duque, Evans, Christian & Hodges, 2015; M inahan & Siedlecki, 2016; Weisberg, Keil, Goodstein, Rawson and Gray, 2008; Weisberg, Taylor & Hopkins, 2015
In the philosophy of J. L. Schellenberg, “evolutionary religion” is a religious stance oriented towards the deep future. According to Schellenberg, the best form of evolutionary religion is non-doxastic faith in ultimism. I reject Schellenberg’s arguments for preferring ultimism and suggest that committing non-doxastically to traditional religion makes more sense from an evolutionary perspective.
Internet Metaphors and Norms. To what extent is digital “openness” also creating a modern “Panopticon”? I.e. to what extent is the conceptual imaginary of relevance for the legitimacy of modern data practices in terms of privacy? This paper argues that conceptual battles around what the Internet is and the digital development means are significant battles. The metaphorical descriptions of the inte
We investigated the risk associated with crossing the Sahara Desert for migrating birds by evaluating more than 90 journeys across this desert by four species of raptors (osprey Pandion haliaetus, honey buzzard Pernis apivorus, marsh harrier Circus aeruginosus and Eurasian hobby Falco subbuteo) recorded by satellite telemetry. Forty per cent of the crossings included events of aberrant behaviours,
