Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling belyser reformer och åtgärder inom högskolesektorn (policies of higher education) som genomfördes av socialdemokratiska regeringar i Sverige och Tyskland, här speciellt i Nordrhein-Westfalen, från mitten av 1960-talet till och med år 2000. Utgångspunkten för avhandlingen var den omfattande litteraturen om förändringar inom europeiska högskolesystem. DetHigher education has become a mega-topic in both political and scientific debate. Developments in systems of higher education and changes in the governance of such systems have been discussed in the literature. Such changes are brought about by collective actors within institutional settings. The present volume considers the policies of higher education supported by Social Democratic governments i
This paper provides three short and very simple proofs of the classical Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem. The theorem is first proved in the case with only two individuals in the economy. The many individual case follows then from an induction argument (over the number of individuals). The proof of the theorem is further simplified when the voting rule is assumed to be neutral
Vi har studerat hur omfattningen av den kursansvariga lärarens behörighetsgivande pedagogikutbildning (BHU) samvarierar med studenternas bedömningar av den pedagogiska kvalitén på kurser uttryckt genom kursutvärderingarnas data från Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ). Vi har även studerat hur CEQ-resultaten ser ut beroende på ifall den kursansvariga läraren har graden Excellent Teaching Practit

In this paper, we perform an iterative decoding threshold analysis of LDPC block code ensembles formed by terminating (J,K)-regular and irregular AR4JA-based LDPC convolutional codes. These ensembles have minimum distance growing linearly with block length and their thresholds approach the Shannon limit as the termination factor tends to infinity. Results are presented for various ensembles and te
This study focuses on the purpose of commercial operations as a key factor in the governance of firms. The background is that the extensive discussions about the purpose of the firm, primarily within the economic and legal disciplines, have for a long time been polarized between two positions: shareholder primacy and stakeholder theory. These discussions are carried out in in the context of consid
The purpose of this paper is to examine how behavioural biases affect consumers’ response to energy-use information provided through smart meters (SM). We take insights from behavioural economics and carry out two real-life experiments with SMs and electricity users. The experiments were conducted in Copenhagen (Denmark) to identify and assess the potential of two economic behavioural biases, sali
This paper reviews evidence from human physiology as to which foods may have been typically consumed by the hominin ancestral lineage up to the advent of anatomically modern humans. Considerable evidence suggests that many common diseases can be prevented by hunter-gatherer diets. Apparently, human nutritional metabolism is not perfectly fine-tuned for recently introduced staple foods, such as cer
