One of the most dynamic interactions between humans and technology of our time is the development of artificial intelligence, materialized in various types of communicative robots. Thrilling questions are raised about how human-like these robots can be and how far this interaction will go. It is no exaggeration to state that speculations about the robots’ role in our lives far exceed what we know
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kampen om bytet och överlevnaden när (framtidsut)sikten försämras Livet under ytan kan anses som lugnt, men även i de lugnaste vatten lurar fisken på ett mål mat. Vi måste äta för att kunna överleva, växa och utvecklas, detta gäller även för fiskarna i våra vatten. Precis som vi använder många fiskar sig av synen när de söker sin föda, men vissa fiskar är även bra på aPredator-prey interactions are a primary structuring force in aquatic systems. A change in the predator-prey interactions may cause a change in the strength of trophic cascades and even resulting in ecosystem shifts. However, individual properties of predators and prey, as well as environmental conditions, may affect the relative strength of predator-prey interactions. In our studies we observed t
Hans Christian Andersen's tale "The Marsh King's Daughter" (1858) is analysed in relation to Birgitta Trotzig's prose tale of the same title, Dykungens dotter (1985), with the emphasis on Andersen's tale which would seem to be a pious Christian morality in which evil is destroyed and the powers of light conquer darkness. At the same time, Andersen's symbols make clear that darkness is a necessary
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det övergripande syftet med denna avhandling var att undersöka om det tidsmässiga avståndet till olika handlingar och situationer påverkar människors moralbedömningar och etiska beslutsfattanden. Construal Level Theory (CLT; Trope & Liberman, 2003) postulerar att temporalt avlägsna händelser representeras på en mer abstrakt nivå än temporalt nära händelser. Denna föThe aim of this dissertation was to examine whether the temporal distance of moral events affects the moral judgments and decisions people make in response to those events. Drawing upon Construal Level Theory (CLT; Trope & Liberman, 2003) which posits that the distant future is represented at a higher, more abstract level of mental construal than the near future, and that high-level mental con
In this paper we provide some early evidence of a link between the iTraxx credit default swap (CDS) index market and the stock market. To our knowledge this is the first paper studying this relationship. Knowledge about the link between stock prices, stock return volatilities and CDS spreads is important not only for risk managers using credit default swaps for hedging purposes, but also to anyone

Abstract in Undetermined Sociologiska teorier om beteende har lagt mycket tid på att utforska platsens och i förlängningen omgivningens påverkan av individen. I artikeln presenteras en kort historisk genomgång om utvecklingen av mentalvården i Sverige, som belyser har platsen för vård speglat ett samspel mellan vetenskap och politik för att till sist blandas sammans i begreppet, den terapeutiska s
This thesis analyzes the electrical properties of InAs nano-structures, that are integrated into different materials and geometries. The thesis describes integration related issues of InAs, the epitaxial synthesis of the InAs nano-structures and summarizes experimental techniques for analysis of electrical properties of the integrated structures. InAs thin films, nanowires and membranes are invest
As a continuation of the work on the development of setting the requirements for ventilation of a bicycle helmet for commuters, 15 full scale helmet mock-ups were created by the students of the Estonian Academy of Arts. In order to encourage creativity for ventilation solutions the students were not restricted to consider the other properties except it was pointed out that the meaning of helmets u
In this article I discuss the relationship between the victim’s and the perpetrator’s guilt in a rape situation. Does recognition of the victim’s guilt automatically remove (any) responsibility from the perpetrator? One way of arguing that is does is to lean on an expanded version of the principle that “ought implies can”, which implies that the magnitude of the difficulty involved in abstaining f
In this chapter, we present the basic concepts of the low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) experiments. The main goal is to provide an overview of the exploitation of these instrumental methods for analyzing the surfaces of technologically important III–V compound semiconductors. In particular, the interpretation of LEED and RHEED patterns
In this chapter, we first elaborate on the discussion of the nature of CKEs that has taken place in the previous chapters in the book. Secondly, we summarise the main lessons we have learnt about CKEs from the studies reported in this book. Thirdly, we identify and analyse what circumstances and conditions promote creativity in organisations and which ones hinder it. We also identify some of the m
