This chapter presents a methodological analysis of the use of the efficient-market hypothesis in the recent financial crisis.

The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to investigate nature of adsorption of amphiphiles to the solid–liquid interface. The surface aggregate structures of the zwitterionic surfactant dodecyldimethylammoniopropanesulfonate, (DDAPS) and a series of nonionic polyoxyethlylene glycol alkyl ethers (C10E5, C12E5, C12E8, C10E6, C14E6 and C16E6) have been determined by Atomic Force Microscopy o

Internationalisation of higher education is a current theme in research and politics of higher education. The theme in this paper is related to present developments and concerns of the growing border-crossing activities that take place between nations and their systems of Higher Education. Higher education is expected to be grounded in research, research to be an international activity, and the un

Demonstrationerna i Seattle 1999 mot Världshandels- organisationen satte fokus på ett rörelseengagemang som växt i styrka sedan nittiotalet. Den svenska debatten om denna aktivism tog fart med demonstrationerna vid EU-toppmötet i Göteborg 2001. Genom framväxten av de sociala forumen sedan det första World Social Forum 2001 har den globala rättviserörelsen gått från protest till konkreta förändring

A technique is developed to embed tungsten inside semiconductors, with the possibility to combine the metallic elements and semiconductor heterostructure with nm-precision. This technique enables to fabricate a very high quality permeable base type of transistor. A resonant tunneling permeable base transistor, RT-PBT is fabricated by directly integrating a tungsten grating 30 nm above a pseudomorp

Risk has become one of the main topics in fields as diverse as engineering, medicine and economics, and it is also studied by social scientists, psychologists and legal scholars. But the topic of risk also leads to more fundamental questions such as: What is risk? What can decision theory contribute to the analysis of risk? What does the human perception of risk mean for society? How should we jud

The study attempts to explain the rapid and significant changes in Birger Sjöbergs oeuvre, from the idyllic Fridas Bok 1922 and Kvartetten som sprängdes 1924 to the pioneering collection of poems Kriser och kransar 1926. Two types of explanation to this development is offered: the lyrical idiom i Kriser och kransar is a development of parodic devices in Fridas Bok. The theory behind this explanati

Popular Abstract in Swedish Äta och ätas Om hur kannibaler och tjuvar kan påverka en sjö Gäddor är kannibaler och stjäl ofta byten från varandra. Risken för överfall ökar med storleken på det byte gäddan äter. För att undvika att bli utsatta för dessa påhopp, väljer gäddor i första hand små och lågryggade byten, eftersom dessa är lättare att svälja och därigenom minskar risken. Därigenom låter gOptimal foraging and prey preference in top predators may affect population and community dynamics and structure. Also, optimal foraging and prey preference may shift with prevailing conditions, and therefore create changes in the effect of predation. In this thesis, I examine the effects of intraspecific interactions among northern pike on pike predatory behaviour, prey preference, and subsequent

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av 5 delstudier. Fyra belyser olika aspekter av alkoholproblem hos kvinnor jämfört med män. Ett delarbete grundar sig på en studiepopulation av endast kvinnor. Undersökningsgrupperna består av såväl patienter som individer från den allmänna befolkningen. De två första studierna utgår från kvinnor och män i Malmö födda 1941, som undersöktes vid 42-årThis thesis presents data relating to gender differences of problem drinking. The aim was to increase the knowledge of characteristics of female problem drinking to enhance identification efficiency. Alcoholic patients, 214 women and 420 men, and subjects from the general population, 2939 women and 1880 men, in Malmö, Sweden were studied between 1983-1995. Lifetime prevalence rates of problem dri
