This thesis contributes to research on experimental and behavioral economics as well as auction theory. It consists of five papers.The first paper, Differences Attract: An Experimental Study of Focusing in Economic Choice, studies whether individuals' decisions are affected by focus effects. The focus effect suggests that individuals focus more on an attribute that has a larger difference among th
This paper is inspired by recent literature that emphasise the performative, sensory, and embodied experiences of heritage practices, as well as by the recent “spatial” turn in China studies. Both rural and urban China has undergone dramatic spatial changes since 1949 that at first were brought about by ideological and political movements and later by market
Popular Abstract in Swedish 80 % av den globala energi som används härrör från fossila bränslen. Ytterligare 10 % baseras på förbränning av någon form av förnyelsebart bränsle. Således är 90 % av vår energianvändning beroende av någon typ av förbränning, oavsett det rör sig om förbränning av olja, kol, gas eller biomassa. I en tid då priset på olja ständigt slår nya rekord, lagstiftningen kring miTemperature is one of the most fundamental parameters to be measured in many research disciplines. In combustion science, a thorough knowledge of temperature is essential for improving and optimizing combustion processes. Increasingly strict environmental legislation, greater demands for energy, and efforts to reduce dependence upon fossil fuels are forcing the combustion industry to obtain more a
In this thesis, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach is used to study turbulent premixed and partially premixed combustion. The CFD approach is based on large eddy simulation (LES) in which the large-scale structures of the flow are resolved on a grid, leaving only the small-scale structures (subgrid scales) to be modeled. The combustion modelling is based on the flamelet concept in which

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det finns en rad lagar och bestämmelser som syftar till att skydda grundvatten mot föroreningar. Bland annat upprättar man i anslutning till vattentäkter skyddsområden där vissa typer av verksamhet inte får förekomma. Grundvattnet har också ett naturligt skydd mot föroreningar som är beroende av markens egenskaper. Föroreningar kan läggas fast eller brytas ned iNatural groundwater protection is favoured by a high content of clay and carbon in the soils, a large unsaturated zone and intermediate values of pH. The protection of the groundwater is improved by defining a protection area around waterworks. Within such areas certain activities that can threaten the quality of the water are limited by law. The borders for the water protection area shall be base
The refugee status determination procedure involves complex issues of both law and fact. The process becomes even more complicated when facts arise that give indications on the possible applicability of article 1.F of the Refugee Convention. In this case the decision-maker has to decide on the one hand if the applicant qualifies for refugee status and on the other hand if there are serious reasons
In recent years hedge funds have played an increasingly important role on the global financial markets. After have been a type of fund which historically only has been open to institutional investors and wealthy individuals, the funds have in the past years started to open up for the general public. Despite the fact that hedge funds are subject to enormous media coverage, the Swedish public tends
The aim of this thesis is to answer the question whether the Swedish Ozone Regulation still is applicable. Hereinafter called the Swedish Ozone Regulation. The reason for this question was a verdict from the Swedish Environmental Court of Appeal Translation of the Swedish Miljööverdomstolen. (The Swedish Court) stating that predominant reasons indicate that the Swedish Regulation no longer is poss
The national courts of the Member States in the European Community are obliged to apply the Community law when it is relevant to the case before them. This obligation arises out of the co-operation principle laid down in Article 5 of the EC Treaty. When a national court is to apply a Community provision, and finds itself in doubt about how the provision is to be interpreted, or applied, that court
Uppsatsen har två huvudsakliga syften. Dels att utreda rättsläget rörande anställdas yttrandefrihet och kritikrätt på svensk och europeisk nivå, dels att undersöka vilket skydd svensk rätt ger anställda som avslöjar missförhållanden på arbetsplatsen, s.k. whistleblowing. Bedömningen av det senare sker mot bakgrund av den särskilda whistleblowinglagstiftningen i Norge och England. I svensk rätt äThe thesis has two main purposes. The first one aims at establishing the current legal situation for employees’ freedom of expression and right to criticize the organization in which they work. This is done on a national level as well as on a European level. The second purpose is to investigate the level of protection that Swedish law provides for so called whistleblowers; employees who reveal pos
The Purpose of this study is to analyze possible differences in the conditions of labor market entry for young people in Swedish High Schools. Differences in conditions for students are interesting to study with the knowledge that youth unemployment in Sweden today is quite high compared to many other European countries and that young people generally have a weaker position in the labor market tha
För att kommissionen ska vara behörig att granska ett förvärv krävs det att kontroll har förvärvats i enlighet med koncentrationsförordningen. Således är kommissionen oförmögen att agera vid problematiska icke kontrollerande minoritetsförvärv (så kallade strukturella förbindelser). Det är dock inte bara förvärv av kontroll som kan orsaka betydande konkurrensskada. Liknande skada kan förekomma vid For the Commission to be competent to examine an acquisition, must concern an acquisition of control within the meaning of the Merger Regulation. Therefore the Commission is unable to act upon problematical non-controlling minority shareholdings (also known as structural links). Anticompetitive effects, however, may arise in situations where control has not been acquired. Established economic theo
Mobility constitutes an important aspect in order to create quality of life, where a well working public transportation can decrease the level of stress and create more “flow” in the everyday life (Atkins 2009). However, not all individuals have the mobility prerequisites; for people with disabilities, the preconditions of movement are limited. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the accessi
This paper is about the right to self-defense, as an exception from the duty to refrain from use of force in international law. The purpose is to examine whether this right has changed from the time when the prohibition of force was implemented, and to explain why this is, or if there has been no change, why not. The text starts with examining the history of the prohibition of the use of force, fr
As authorities, the universities are subject to the principle of access to official documents. Records generated during the research process are thus to be regarded as official documents, even though there are disputes over exactly when they are to be considered as such. Scientists are, to various degrees, dependent of access to earlier research data, which may have been collected during research
I slutet av 2013 lade Europeiska kommissionen fram ett paket med lagstiftningsåtgärder i syfte att stärka misstänktas och tilltalades processuella rättigheter i det straffrättsliga förfarandet. Paketet innehåller bland annat ett direktivförslag angående förstärkning av vissa aspekter av oskuldspresumtionen. Artikel 7 i detta förslag reglerar frågan om misstänktas och tilltalades rätt till tystnad In late 2013 the European Commission presented a package of legislative measures aimed to strengthening suspects and accused persons procedural rights in criminal proceedings. The package includes inter alia a proposal for a directive in order to strengthen certain aspects of the presumption of innocence. Article 7 of this proposal regulates the issue of suspects and accused persons right to remai
The notion of a procedural autonomy reserved to the Member States has its roots in the Rewe and Comet judgments delivered in 1976. In those cases the European Court of Justice held that it is for the domestic systems of each Member States to designate the courts having jurisdiction and the procedural conditions governing actions at law intended to ensure the protection of the rights which subjects
The author of this work has launched a Swedish brand producing fine quality leather goods and acquired an atelier operating in the heart of Transylvania, Romania, with the manufacturing of leather goods since 1991. The production house now needs a new building in Cluj in order to grow and meet the new work ethics. As a response to the collapse of a sewing factory building in Bangladesh 2013, kill
Framställningen syftar till att utreda hur mycket genomslagskraft straffprocessens olika funktioner får givet ett visst beviskrav. En modern syn på straffprocessen är det s.k. differentierade funktionstänkandet där funktionerna har olika stort genomslag i olika stadier av straffprocessen. Vanligtvis brukar dessa funktioner delas upp i överväganden som härrör sig från antingen värdet av en effektivThis thesis aims to investigate how much influence each different function in the criminal process has when given a specific standard of proof. In modern Swedish criminal process, legal scholars are often of the opinion that processual functions have different influence depending on which part of the process they are active in. This is often referred to as a differentiated approach to functions. N
