This thesis is an empirical and theoretical exploration of the surprising finding that people often may fail to notice dramatic mismatches between what they want and what they get, a phenomenon my collaborators and I have named choice blindness. The thesis consists of four co-authored papers, dealing with different aspects of the phenomenon. Paper one presents an initial set of studies using a co
Increased platelet destruction is central in the pathogenesis of immune thrombocytopenia. However, impaired platelet production is also relevant and its significance underlies the rationale for treatment with thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs). Previous studies have associated enhanced complement activation with increased disease severity. Additionally, treatment refractoriness has been de
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the occurrence of strategic error in using key performance indicators (KPIs) in innovation Design/methodology/approach: This case study was conducted at the innovation department of an organization in the process industry that operates production sites and sales organisations worldwide. Observations and interviews werTo date, measuring innovation has not been an exact science. As in many areas of organizational life, errors in measuring innovation are a recurring fact. Innovation researchers and practitioners alike have become increasingly interested in understanding the occurrence of organizational errors and how these errors affect innovation and its measurement. This empirical study aims to address this und
Background/Aims: Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is becoming clinical routine for management of neuroendocrine tumours. The number of PRRT cycles is correlated with treatment effect but theoretically limited by off-target radiation damage to kidneys and bone marrow. New imaging biomarkers for assessment of PRRT tissue damage would enable evaluation of novel renal and bone marrow prote
Incretin-based therapy is associated with low risk of hypoglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) possibly due to its glucose-dependency in stimulating insulin secretion and a sustained glucagon response during hypoglycemia. This is of special relevance when it is combined with insulin or given to elderly patients since both insulin therapy and high age are associated with impaired glucagon co
Background: Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a complex congenital heart disease that requires early diagnosis as well as advanced surgical repair and postoperative support. We sought herein to study the impact of surgical timing on early postoperative morbidity.Methods: We reviewed all patients with TGA corrected at our institution via arterial switch operation (ASO) between June 2001 Background: Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a complex congenital heart disease that requires early diagnosis as well as advanced surgical repair and postoperative support.

This book illuminates the personal experience of being at the centre of a media scandal. It contributes new perspectives to the field, where both moral and media transgressions are exposed. By using ethnological and phenomenological perspectives upon an extensive empirical material, from a Swedish context, the existential level of this phenomenon can be highlighted.

Policies on preventing radicalization and recruitment to violent Islamist organizations have been widely criticized for reinforcing negative stereotypes of Muslims as a group. Sweden has stood out by international comparison by announcing an approach built on inclusion and participation, especially with regard to Muslim civil society. But what does it mean to make a policy process inclusive and pa
During the Late Iron Age, a large variety of dogs and the earliest evidence of dog leashes appear in Scandinavia. This study is based on an analysis of the dogs in the Nabberör boat grave on the island of Öland in relation to dogs from other burials and settlements.Breeding and care of the dogs have been analysed through the integrated life stories of individual dogs, based on age, sex and health

In this paper, I discuss resistance against antisemitism in relation to the overall antiracist struggle. Inspired by postcolonial theory and critical race studies, and by locating notions of “Swedishness” at the core of the analysis, I show that antisemitism can be understood as a form of structural racism entangled with other racisms.

This paper empirically examines the relationship between fuel prices and patenting activity in environment-friendly technologies in the auto industry across the OECD countries for the period 1994-2011. Overall, the results suggest that tax-inclusive fuel price affects innovative activity in environment-friendly technologies. More specifically, the analysis shows that the technologies aiming to red
Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att undersöka den processuella gången som följer då poliser begår våldsbrott i tjänst. Förfarandet innebär processer i flera instanser vilket leder till en rad problem, inte minst ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv. Målet har varit att undersöka förfarandet så som det ser ut idag, att identifiera eventuella problem och att söka lösningar på dessa. Polisens aThe aim of this master thesis has been to examine the court proceedings when policemen commit violent crimes at work. The procedure involves processes in multiple instances causing a range of problems. The goal has been to investigate the procedure as it is today, to identify potential problems and to seek solutions to these problems. The police has a complex role in society and their work assig
Denna uppsats har sökt fastställa gällande rätt i frågan om när en angripen person som tidigast kan luta sig på nödvärn i sina försvarsåtgärder. Både Sveriges och Norges rättsliga lösningar på problemet har behandlats. Metoderna som har använts har varit rättsdogmatisk metod och komparativ metod. Enligt svensk rätt tillfaller nödvärnsrätt den som befinner sig under ett ”överhängande brottsligt anThe subject of this essay has been to determine the content of established law, concerning at what time an attacked person is entitled to self-defence at the earliest. Both Sweden and Norway’s legal solutions have been studied, using a legal dogmatic method, and a comparative legal method. The right to self-defence is, according to Swedish law, ensured to a person subject to an ”imminent criminal
På senare år har det skett en bred förskjutning i synen på barn- och föräldrarätt. Ett starkare barnrättsperspektiv har etablerats inom svensk rätt och politik. Flera ändringar har gjorts i föräldrabalken. En av dessa ändringar återfinns i 6 kap. 19 § tredje stycket föräldrabalken. I proposition 2020/21:150 föreslog den dåvarande regeringen en lagstadgad tidsgräns på fyra månader när det kommer tiIn recent years, there has been a broad shift in the view of children’s and parental rights. A stronger children’s rights perspective has been established within Swedish law and politics. Several amendments have been made to the Children and Parents Code. One of these amendments can be found in Chapter 6, Section 19, third paragraph of the Children and Parents Code (sw. föräldrabalken (1949:381)).
Euklidisk geometri var den första ge- ometrin som man stötte på i grundskolan, allt från trianglar till cirklar. Samtidigt fick man lära sig att inget av dessa objekt finns i verk- ligheten. Det var inte förrän Benoı̂t Mandelbrot (1924-2010) insåg att många naturfenomen är så oregelbundna och komplexa att de inte kan beskrivas med euklidisk geometri. I detta sam- manhang verkar Mandelbrots citat vLet $\dim_H(\mathcal{J}_\epsilon)$ and $\dim_H(\mathcal{J}_{i\epsilon})$ denote the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set of the polynomials $f_\epsilon(z) = z^2 -2 -\epsilon$ and $f_{i\epsilon}(z) = z^2 -2 +i\epsilon$ receptively for small $\epsilon>0$. This thesis contains two main Theorems, both dealing with the upper bound for the asymptotic behaviour of $\dim_H(\mathcal{J}_\epsilon)$ and $\dim
The rise of digital services has reshaped the EU internal digital market and revealed significant shortcomings in EU competition law. In response, the EU introduced the Digital Markets Act (DMA), an ex-ante sector-specific legislative approach to address these issues. The DMA’s aim is to complement traditional competition law by addressing fairness and contestability within the internal market thr
bstract The real estate sector in Sweden has long been characterized by high entry barriers, strict regulations, and a high demand for large initial capital. These factors make it challenging for new ventures to succeed in the market. With this background, it seems relevant to understand which driving factors can be related to entrepreneurial success. This study researches how specific characteris
