Popular Abstract in Swedish "Behavioral Economics" är ett område inom nationalekonomin där forskningsresultat från främst psykologin inhämtas vid analys av ekonomiska fenomen, även om andra samhällsvetenskaper såsom socialpsykologi och sociologi också givit bidrag. Följande avhandling och dess fyra uppsatser undersöker delar av "Behavioral Economics" med särskild betoning på realism, ontologi och This thesis explores Behavioral Economics in terms of realism, ontology and experiments. In the introductory chapter descriptions of "Behavioral Economics", "realism" and "ontology" are offered. In the following three chapters meta-theoretical analyses are performed, while the fifth and last chapter is a report of an experiment but with a meta-theoretical undertone. In Chapter 2 two recent survey

Popular Abstract in English An algae that has lost its ability to do photosynthesis over the last million years and started to feed on human blood causes about 600.000 death every year, a number equals about 8 times Lund’s present population. This evolved algae named Plasmod- ium falciparum causes Malaria, a tropical disease mainly affecting economically weak regions in Africa. Unlike bacteria or Malaria, caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for about 600.000 death cases every year. Mainly affected are populations of subtropical countries in Africa and the largest groups of victims are children below the age of 5 years. The fast evolving drug resistances of Plasmodium against the the most pow- erful antimalarials threatens the successful containment of this

The evolution of phases over time during freezing and thawing of unconfined Na- and Ca-montmorillonites (Wyoming, MX-80) was studied with time-resolved synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The clay samples were: (i) powder equilibrated to ambient atmosphere and (ii) pastes of 30 mass% montmorillonite in pure water. The phases were characterised in-situ using a stream of nitrogen gas for temperature cont

Background: The first tissues to be deprived of perfusion and oxygenation in a hypovolemic situation and the last ones to be reperfused are the subcutaneous tissue and the gastrointestinal mucosa. We hypothesized that measurements of subcutaneous tissue gases and pH might reflect simultaneous changes in oxygenation of the intestinal mucosa. The aim of this study was to evaluate tissue gases and pH

Genetically modified maize, can it be trusted? In a world with a constantly growing population there is a need to find a way to cultivate enough food for everyone and one of the things that might help with that is genetically modified crops. Genetic modification means that a trait has been given to a plant that it does not normally have. These traits can be resistance to a pest, disease or an her

Integrationsklausuler har sitt ursprung i den angloamerikanska rätten och är numera vanligt förekommande i svenska kommersiella avtal. Avsikten med en integrationsklausul är att göra enbart det skriftliga avtalets innehåll giltigt som underlag för avtalets innebörd. Frågan om integrationsklausulers rättsverkan i svensk avtalsrätt har inte besvarats i varken lagtext eller praxis. Emellertid har detMerger clauses originate from Anglo American law but have become a commonly used type of clause in Swedish commercial contracts. The purpose of a merger clause is to exclude all considerations apart from the written contract from the interpretation of the contract. The question of what legal effect the merger clauses have in Swedish contract law has not been answered, neither in written law nor in

Arbetet är utfört åt skogsforskningsstationen Mógilsá som ligger strax norr om Reykjavik. Forskningen inom Mógilsá bedrivs inom delar av eller för hela Island med inriktning inom exempelvis dendrokronologi, proveniensförsök, och studier av insekter. Sedan 1900-talets början har inplantering av exotiska trädarter blivit allt vanligare och i en allt större skala. Syften med inplanteringen är bland aThis study was made in an attempt to give the forest research centre Mógilsá a produced tetratherm map and a better understanding of how topography and temperature influence the growth of two tree species. The digital tetratherm map model, covering the northern part of Iceland, was developed to investigate the correlation between tetratherm and the growth of Picea sitchensis and Larix (sukaczewii

Abstract Det har i ett antal internationella undersökningar framkommit att HBT- personer har sämre hälsa än heterosexuella. I den förbindelsen har syftet med denna uppsats varit att diskutera kring vilka åtgärder som är möjliga för att förändra denna ohälsa, där jag har koncentrerat mig på särlösning kontra integrationsteorier. Jag har inriktat mig på lesbiska och bisexuella kvinnor inom HBT- omr

The number of situations where both people and nature are harmed by human activities are increasing in the same pace as mankind is augmenting its control and so called 'development' of the Earth. Although previously much debated, we have passed the stage when protecting human rights and preserving the environment were seen as conflicting interests. Instead we have reached the conclusion th

Domestic violence is one of the biggest human rights violations that affect women all over the world regardless of their color, nationality, or age. This problem has reached such a degree that women appear to be more at risk of facing violence inside of the home by a husband or partner, than outside by strangers. However, the traditional view that the State cannot be held responsible for acts of v

Abstract Author: Lena Källström Title: “Conversations about suffering in social work” (Translated title) Supervisor: Christina Erneling Assessor: The aim of this thesis is to investigate how social workers conceptualise, name, relate to and understand the suffering s/he encounters when meeting clients, both from the perspective of self and the other. The study investigates the view of the indiv

An upcoming trend in the current IT-landscape is to outsource services to so called Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). However, many companies are still sceptical to this new kind of services, since they bring about a certain loss of control. For this reason, it is important for CSPs to show that their services are secure. There are several options in proving this and it is up to every CSP to choose

Allergic rhinitis is a common disease affecting millions of people worldwide. Biocare Copenhagen A/S, a Danish biotechnology company decided to screen a number of probiotic lysates, with the aim to identify suitable strains with potential anti-allergic properties, that could regulate production of cytokines and divert the immune system in a regulatory or tolerant mode. People suffering from aller

Stater ingår skatteavtal huvudsakligen i syfte att undanröja internationell juridisk dubbelbeskattning, som anses uppställa ett hinder för utvecklingen av mellanstatliga ekonomiska förbindelser. I skatteavtal förpliktigar sig stater att begränsa sina skatteanspråk till förmån för den andra statens beskattningsrätt. Avtalens begränsande effekt i kombination med skillnader i staters interna skattesyThe main reason for states to enter into tax treaties is to prevent international juridical double taxation, which is considered to have harmful effects on cross-border economic relations. In tax treaties, states oblige themselves through international law not to raise taxes with respect to taxing rights given to the other state under the treaty. A well-known problem is that taxpayers can exploit

Forests’ high importance due to the ecosystem services they supply is undisputed. The mitigation of climate change through net uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (carbon sinks) is one of them and the biodiversity hosted by a forest is an important underpinning of its functioning and may help promote the resilience of forest ecosystem services to future change. Uneven-aged forests general

Uppsatsen behandlar det adopterade barnets ställning inom adoptionsinstitutet genom dess förändring över tid. Adoptionsinstitutet har förändrats i takt med samhällsutvecklingen och lagstiftaren har tidvis försökt lösa samhällsproblem med hjälp av lagstiftningen. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur barnets ställning har förändrats tillsammans med adoptionslagstiftningen. Adoption som ett institThis thesis examines an adopted child’s status within the adoption institute through time. The adoption institute has changed in line with the development of society and the legislator have occasionally tried to solve problems occurring in the society with the help of legislation. The child’s status is dependent on society’s perception of children and the reign values in the general public. The

Skyddet för den personliga integriteten har ställts inför nya utmaningar sedan internets och sociala mediers framväxt. I samband med teknikutvecklingens framväxt har en ny problematik uppmärksammats, nämligen så kallade deepfakes. Nätfenomenet deepfakes är relativt nytt och innebär att still- eller rörlig bild manipulerats med hjälp av artificiell intelligens, bland annat genom att en persons ansiThe protection of personal integrity has faced new challenges since the rise of social media. Particularly in the dissemination of privacy infringement, which is largely facilitated by today’s technology. A new problem has arisen in connection with the development of technology, so-called deepfakes. The online phenomenon of deepfakes is relatively new and implies a still or moving image that has b

Fjärrvärme har en betydande roll i det svenska energisystemet där många är beroende av att systemet ska fungera optimalt. Trots den generellt höga leveranssäkerheten i dagens system är oplanerade leveransavbrott är något som sker tidvis. I Sverige började många fjärrvärmenät byggas ut i mitten av 1900-talet och mängden skador i äldre ledningar förväntas öka med tiden. Att ersätta gamla ledningar iDistrict heating plays a significant role in the Swedish energysystem where many are dependent on the district heating working optimally. The system in general has a high security of supply, but unplanned interuptions in the supply do ocasionally occur. Many of the district heating networks in Sweden began construction in the middle of the last century and some of the old pipes are expected to see

Att byggsektorn står inför ett rådande klimatnödläge är ett faktum. Idag investeras hundratals miljarder kronor för att i framtiden kunna producera fossilfritt stål; trots det läggs lite fokus på miljöoptimering av konstruktioner. Syftet med arbetet är att utvärdera hur parametrisk design kan användas som verktyg för att miljöoptimera stålstommar i industritrapptorn samt undersöka vilken profiltypThe fact that the construction sector faces a prevailing climate emergency is undeniable. Today, hundreds of billions of kronor are being invested to develop fossil-free steel; yet little focus is placed on environmental optimization of constructions. The purpose of this work is to evaluate how parametric design can be used as a tool for environmental optimization of steel staircase towers, as wel

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia, increasing with each year. AF is characterized by periods of rapid and irregular beating of the heart and increases the risk of stroke and heart failure. The disease often originates from ectopic beats generated by the pulmonary veins, activating the atria, creating short periods of AF. Without treatment the disease evolves, remodels the a
