In the early postwar period, improvements in life expectancy in many Western countries made health authorities, health scientists and politicians believe that social differences in mortality converged. The assumption was that inequality, when measured as death rates, was on steady decline, possibly even on the brink of disappearing. The question is then, how far back in time can social differences
This dissertation deals with analog techniques at both the architecture and circuit design levels for designing power efficient linear radio-frequency (RF) transmitters. The use of nonlinear analog integrated circuits to implement certain critical signal processing functions for the multiplicative feedback and LINC techniques is investigated with the aim of improving the system performance in term
Objective This study provides the summary of current knowledge about migrant work in agriculture available from journal articles, books, reports and other relevant academic publications, focusing on political, economic, legal, social and medical aspects of migrant work in agriculture. Methods A systematic search was carried out on the LibHub and Google Scholar databases in order to compile the e
With the exponential growth of the World Wide Web, automated subject classification of Web pages has become a major research issue in information and computer sciences. Organizing Web pages into a hierarchical structure for subject browsing is gaining more recognition as an important tool in information-seeking processes. In this thesis, different automated classification approaches, focusing on
The interest for the design of life environments for persons with dementia is growing stronger among architects, engineers, social scientists and those responsible for housing and health care planning. This development is connected to the enlarged group of people that become afflicted by this disease and to the fact that a safe environment is proved to be very important for their well-being as wel
A central issue in the study of primate communication is the extent to which individuals adjust their behaviour to the attention and signals of others, and manipulate others’ attention to communicate about external events. I investigated whether 13 chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes spp.), 11 bonobos (Pan paniscus), and 7 orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus) followed conspecific attention and led others

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between post merger financial performance and customer reactions on M&As, as well as how the issues of strategic relationships, integration, marketing, and human resources influence these customer reactions. Method: One of the main reasons why M&A research lacks so much of customer reactions is that the methodological main
En fastighetsaffär är för de allra flesta en stor affär, kanske den allra största man gör i sitt liv, och konsekvenserna kan därför också bli stora, både för köpare och säljare. En av frågeställningarna vid ett köp är ansvarsfördelningen mellan köpare och säljare och det finns många rättsfall genom åren där köparens undersökningsplikt vid köp av fast egendom prövas i svenska domstolar. Enligt JordA property transaction is for most people an important deal, and the impact can therefore also be great, both for buyers and sellers. One of the issues of a purchase is the division of responsibilities for errors between the buyer and the seller, and there are many court cases over the years where the buyer's duty to investigate the purchase of property is tried in Swedish courts. According to
VAD HAR DEN SOCIALA HÅLLBARHETEN MED KLIMATUTMANINGARNA ATT GÖRA? Frågan låter mer disparat än vad den egentligen är. Forskning och praktik visar att det finns en direkt kausalitet mellan de två. Att ett fokus på social hållbarhet kan förbättra relationen till hur vi uppfattar och hanterar klimatutmaningarna men också ge direkta återkopplingar. Det går inte att utesluta att med en utökad kunskapsToday, the concept of sustainability is central in several housing projects, not to mention the many other socio-technological projects for which the concept is a directive. In this study I problematize the relation of the paradigm of sustainable development to one of its main “pillars”, the social dimension, and how this can relate to the greatest challenge of our generation – climate change. As
Climate change is a global and demanding issue, which affects all the states on the planet. The European Union has from the 90s been vigorously engaged in the international efforts to tackle climate change and even pursued to take on the leading role in the global climate regime. The two most anticipated UN conferences for combating climate change at the global level were the COP15 in 2009 and COP
It is commonly understood that Intellectual Property Regimes are aimed at protecting private rights and in doing so sometimes neglect public interests. Historically IP systems were considered to allow authors or creators to secure certain monopolies on rights, hence in the 1970s and 1980s the concern over public needs came forward requiring the IP system to respond to it in a way that would stimul
This thesis examines how the right of free movement and the borders are perceived and practiced by Europeans, and how they affect the everyday lives of Europeans in the context of the current refugee crisis and Paris attacks. It claims that EU, EEA, CH and the Schengen area constitute a cultural construction within Europe based on inclusion and exclusion, belonging and citizenship. The freedom of
En stor del av våldsbrotten i Sverige begås av gärningsmän som handlat under självförvållat rus. Hur man straffrättsligt ska behandla den här kategorin av lagöverträdare är ett ämne som givit upphov till debatter kring vad som är den lämpligaste lösningen. Skuldbedömningen för personer som begått brott under inverkan av rusningsmedel har förändrats ett flertal gånger genom svensk rättshistoria, trA large number of the violent crimes that are committed in Sweden involve an intoxicated offender. How these offenders should be treated is a subject that has raised several debates regarding the most appropriate solution. The assessment of guilt for people committing crimes under the influence of alcohol has changed several times through Swedish legal history. Nonetheless there is still disagreem
Brottsligheten i Sverige har på senare tid blivit alltmer komplicerad och omfattande, vilket har inneburit allvarliga påfrestningar både för rättssystemet och för de enskilda som på något sätt har varit inblandade i dessa mål. Med anledning härav tillsattes den 7 april 2016 ett antal särskilda utredare med uppgift att undersöka hur straffprocessen i stora brottmål skulle kunna effektiviseras med bIn recent years, criminal behaviour has changed quite a bit due to an increased internationalization and an advanced use of internet. As a result, the frequency of complex and large-scaled crimes has increased remarkably, which has caused the Swedish judicial system great difficulties. Both the crime investigations and the legal proceedings in these cases require huge recourses, and additionally,
Unga lagöverträdare har en särskild ställning inom straffrätten. För de per-soner som vid brottet var under 21 år tas åldern i beaktande vid straffmät-ningen och straffet lindras. Detta har sin bakgrund i de idéer om straffets uppfostrande verkan som växte fram runt slutet av 1800-talet. Även idag finns tanken att en ung människa anses vara outvecklad och sakna sådan ansvarsförmåga som vuxna normaJuvenile offenders have a special status in Swedish criminal law. Those cul-prits whose age is below the threshold of 21 years receive mitigated punish-ments because their age is taken into regard when the meting out of punish-ment is done. The reasons for this can be traced back to the end of the nine-teenth century, when the concept that a punishment may have educational effects emerged. Today,
Emelie Fridell Källsortering i historisk miljö För företag och organisationer kan lokalers utformning och platsbrist gör dem mindre lämpade att ställa källsorteringsmöbler i. Detta kan innebära att en del historiska byggnader på grund av sin utformning har svårare att installera källsorteringsmöbler. Vid undersökning av AF-borgen i Lund gjordes en volymbestämning av avfallsmängderna i två lokaThe resources of our earth are limited and need to be managed sustainably. Managing waste is thus a global issue which makes recycling of waste an important part of sustainable resource management. Sweden has come a long way in source separation of waste compared to many other European countries, with recycling techniques and equipment for source separation, in use. However, most studies look at h
Sammanfattning Allt fler människor blir infertila. För att lösa problemet att få ett genetiskt barn har flera länder i vår omvärld börjat använda och tillåta surrogatmödraskap. I Sverige har åsikterna tidigare varit att det varit en allt för oetisk metod. Under årens lopp har dock värderingarna ändrats något och idag pågår en livlig debatt om altruistiskt surrogatmödraskap ska bli tillåtet. AltruiSummary Infertility is increasing. Because of this several countries around the world have begun to allow surrogacy as a means of procuring a genetic child. In Sweden, the previously held view was that surrogacy is unethical. However, over the years societal values have begun to gradually change. Presently there is a lively debate concerned with allowance of altruistic surrogacy. Altruistic surrog
