Policymakers have made several attempts to introduce local and national policies to reduce CO2 emissions and stimulate the consumer adoption of alternative fuel vehicles (ethanol/E85 cars). The purpose of this paper is to analyze how a local policy measure impacts the composition of the car fleet over time. More specifically, we take advantage of the natural experiment setting caused by the introd

Sediments from the small lake Ilsø situated in the Illerup/Alken Enge Valley were studied in order to investigate past landscape development at the time of a probably ritual human mass burial following battle during the Roman Iron Age (ad 1–400). A pollen record from Ilsø and a number of other records from Jutland were combined using the Landscape Reconstruction Algorithm to reconstruct local vege

Within many-body perturbation theory, we apply vertex corrections to various closed-shell atoms and to jellium, using a local approximation for the vertex consistent with starting the many-body perturbation theory from a Kohn-Sham Green's function constructed from density-functional theory in the local-density approximation. The vertex appears in two places-in the screened Coulomb interaction W an

This study investigates whether privately funded aid projects enable a more effective development compared to publicly run, with the perspectives of local street-level bureaucrats at focus. The purpose is to highlight aid workers as much of policy is being formed and put into practice at street-level rather than policy level in developing countries. New emerging actors on the aid arena also calls

Knowledge is a key element in the transition to sustainable agriculture. Focusing on the biodynamic viticulture in Switzerland, this thesis investigates how winegrowers learn to change their practices to produce, without synthetic pesticides, in the context of conventional agriculture hegemony. The interviews conducted with biodynamic winegrowers, having carried out a transition, resulted in sever

This study investigates the dynamics of Taiwanese identity among Taiwanese migrants in Sweden, with a specific focus on their experiences and interactions within the local Chinese community. The research draws on data collected from ten in-depth semi-structured interviews and utilises the analytical framework developed by Brubaker and Cooper (2000) to gain a deeper understanding of Taiwanese ident

This thesis investigates how income influences the way parents in Sweden share paid parental leave. Although the Swedish parental leave system is universal in design, its use varies across income groups and regions. By analyzing national data grouped by income level and regional data from all 21 counties between 2005 and 2019, the study examines how financial position and local context relate to t

In this master’s thesis I have explored what characterises the setting of dolmens and passage graves in north-eastern and south-eastern Scania, southern Sweden, if there are common features, and what meaning/connection the setting can imply. By combining field visits at twenty-four sites with search results from the Swedish National Heritage Board’s database, map studies, literature studies and pr

The mining industry is going through an all-time high in Sweden. Sweden is the European Union´s leading producer of iron ore and is seen as a great resource for the Union´s demand of minerals. The country´s low mining taxes and fees have made Sweden attractive for international mining companies. During the last few years there has been a great increase in mining projects in the country, especially

Institutioner har betydelse för ekonomisk utveckling. Denna avhandling består av tre fristående artiklar som bidrar till olika grenar inom institutionell ekonomi.I den första artikeln undersöks kortsiktiga förändringar av könsnormer. Artikeln tar tillvara på senare tids utveckling av maskininlärningsalgoritmer för att studera normförändringar i svenska tweets. Mer specifikt så tränas en LSTM neuraInstitutions matter for economic development. This thesis consists of three self-contained articles which provide different contributions to institutional economics.The first article studies short-run changes in gender norms. It takes advantage of recent developments in machine learning algorithms to study changes in norms in Swedish tweets. More specifically, gender norms are defined in a compreh

För att förstå vårt ursprung och vår plats i universum, måste vi först lära oss om vår historia. Detta är en utmaning i många fält inom vetenskapen, och det finns ett antal olika tillvägagångssätt; geologer analyserar sedimentlager för att få förstå vår planets utveckling, biologer tittar på små skillnader i flora och fauna för att förstå utvecklingen av arter, och paleontologer undersöker fossil What effect does a collision between two clusters have on their dissolving time? In order to answer this question, a new type of N-body simulation using a double integration of a cluster was built. Instead of introducing a perturbation representing the gravitational force of the Milky Way into a local simulation of the cluster, the cluster orbit was integrated in the potential of the Milky Way,

Despite a generally increasing quality of life over time, a disparity of life quality between groups of different socioeconomic status is becoming more apparent. Signs of this can be seen in differences in life expectancy which, together with health issues, are closely linked to social sustainability and thus also to sustainable development. A strategy to achieve growth, which is a goal for most c

Prognostic factors and treatment results were analysed in 72 consecutive patients with primary gastric lymphoma treated between 1970 and 1985. There were 37 patients in stage IE, 17 in IIE, 3 in IIES and 15 in stage IV. Histopathological re-evaluation and classification according to the TNM system were performed. We found that disseminated disease (stage IV), serosal penetration (T3), involvement

The goal of this contribution is to stimulate a wider reflection on the role of food consumption practices throughout prehistory. We focussed on the Jōmon communities of Hokkaidō Island in Northern Japan since these mobile foragers underwent a process of economic diversification and intensification, eventually leading to higher levels of sedentism across the Pleistocene-Holocene transition.

Statistical shape models based on point distribution models are powerful tools for image segmentation or shape analysis. The most challenging part in the generation of point distribution models is the identification of corresponding landmarks among all training shapes. Since in general the true correspondences are unknown, correspondences are frequently established under the hypothesis that correc

During the Swedish-Russian Tundra Ecology -94 expedition one of the goals was to describe the local population fluctuations of Siberian lemmings over the Eurasian tundra. In order to compensate for the lack of repeated sampling, we used 4 different estimates to determine the phase position of the lemming populations at the different sites: i) the number of lemmings trapped per unit time; ii) the a
