Human financial decisions are known to deviate from ‘rational’, particularly under uncertainty and if time delays are involved. In the Nobel-winning prospect theory, Tversky and Kahneman showed that deviations from rational behavior were not only robust but also quite predictable, if considering average behavior in a population. They found that people consider gains and losses not in absolute term
This study provide insights into the sources of differences in the degree of income-related inequalities in self-assessed health in 10 European countries using data on an older population (aged 50 and above) from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE, 2004). The aim of this study is to compare the inequalities of this older population with a younger population used in van Do
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakterier är små encelliga organismer som lever i nästan varje tänkbar miljö på jorden, inklusive i och på människor. Vi är kontinuerligt koloniserade av bakterier i bland annat våra luftvägar, munhålor och mag-tarmkanaler. Denna samexistens är oftast ömsesidigt fördelaktig, eller åtminstone ofarlig för oss människor, och det är känt att bakterier hjälper oss bryta ner Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a remarkably proficient colonizer of the human respiratory tract. The aim of this thesis has been to characterize currently known, and identify novel, bacterial factors involved in the key processes of colonization and pathogenesis, namely adherence to host tissue and evasion of the host innate immunity. We have shown that the NTHi virulence factor Pr
Popular Abstract in Swedish Målet avhandlingen har varit att undersöka möjligheten att bygga en kvantdator i kristaller dopade med joner av sällsynta jordartsmetaller. Det har visat sig att sådana joner har en väldigt lång livstid, vilket är en förutsättning för de typer av experiment som har utförts i den här avhandlingen. För att ytterliggare förhindra att de känsliga tillstånden i jonerna störsThis thesis describes a number of coherent processes, such as quantum information processing, superradiance and electromagnetically induced transparency, which have been experimentally implemented using rare-earth-ion-doped crystals. The rare-earths are a class of elements that have in common, an atomic structure that allows for very long lifetimes as well as coherence times, both on optical trans
Popular Abstract in Swedish De allra flesta av oss bilister har någon gång kört på en väg med tydliga spår i vägytan. Man märker tydligt hur både komforten och säkerheten minskar eftersom möjligheten att styra fordonet försämras. Dessutom försämras trafiksäkerheten ytterligare när regn eller snö ansamlas och orsakar vattenplaning eller halka. Därför får de gradvis framväxande spåren inte bli för dThree mechanistic-empirical permanent deformation models were evaluated under Swedish conditions with respect to traffic, climate and materials using accelerated pavement testing and long-term pavement performance studies. The mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (M E PDG), the incremental-recursive mechanistic-empirical CalME model (CalME), and the PErmanent Deformation of asphalt concrete
Popular Abstract in Swedish Blågröna alger (cyanobakterier) av släktet Arthrospira förekommer i salthaltiga, alkaliska, tropiska vatten i Afrika, Asien och Centralamerika. Kanembu stammen vid Chadsjön och aztekerna i Mexiko har av tradition använt Arthrospira i matlagningen som ett näringskomplement. Under senare år har släktet Arthrospira uppmärksammats vetenskapligt och kommersiellt. Nu odlas ArThe cyanoprokaryote (blue-green algae) genus Arthrospira occurs in saline, alkaline tropical waters of Africa, Asia, and Central America. Traditionally Arthrospira has been used as a food supplement by the Kanembu tribe of Lake Chad and Aztecs living in the valley of Mexico City. It is presently cultivated in large scale throughout the world and sold as a health food supplement due to its nutritio
Popular Abstract in Swedish Genteknik innebär stora möjligheter att förändra och förbättra organismers egenskaper. Genom att i en organism föra in en främmande gen kan man ge den helt nya egenskaper som den aldrig skulle ha förvärvat på naturlig väg. Genmodifierade bakterier odlas idag industriellt i stora bioreaktorer för tillverkning av olika proteiner, till exempel insulin till diabetiker, humaVitreoscilla is an obligate aerobic bacterium living in oxygen-poor environments such as stagnant ponds and decaying vegetable matter. Vitreoscilla expresses a homodimeric haemoglobin (VHb) when subjected to oxygen-limited conditions. In several organisms, expression of VHb has been shown to increase microaerobic cell growth and enhance oxygen-dependent cell metabolism. Moreover, the presence of V
Enzymatisk modifiering av fiskolja - jämförelse mellan olika lipaser. I detta arbete studerades tre olika lipaser som katalyserade en metanolysreaktion i fiskolja. Målet med arbetet var att finna ett specifikt lipas för produktion av en EPA/DHA fraktioner från fiskoljan i en metanolysreaktion få högt utbyte av Sn-2 monoglycerider av EPA och/eller DHA och med detta kunna möjliggöra uppkoncentreri
HAMLET is a complex of α-lactalbumin (α-LA) with oleic acid (OA) that selectively kills tumor cells and Streptococcus pneumoniae. To assess the contribution of the proteinaceous component to cytotoxicity of HAMLET, OA complexes with proteins structurally and functionally distinct from α-LA were prepared. Similar to HAMLET, the OA complexes with bovine β-lactoglobulin (bLG) and pike parvalbumin (pP

Sammanfattning Integritet i arbetslivet är, delvis på grund av ny och allt billigare teknik inom området, en högst aktuell fråga idag som skär tvärs igenom alla nivåer i arbetslivet. Hanteringen av personanknuten information ökar och de metoder som används för att samla in och bearbeta personuppgifter förfinas hela tiden. Samtidigt är övervakning i arbetslivet knappast något nytt fenomen. Även deSummary As a result of new and cheaper technology in surveillance, integrity in the workforce is a highly relevant question that cuts through all levels of the workforce. Handling of personal information is increasing, and the methods used to collect and process personal information is constantly refined. Meanwhile surveillance in the workplace is no new phenomenon. Even the very first theorists
Hip fractures constitute a major problem, both in terms of a lower life quality for the people affected and socio-economical factors. Osteoporosis is a medical condition, defined by decreased bone mass, which results in a more fragile bone structure and a higher risk for fractures. Osteoporosis accounts for a cost of € 1.5 billion each year in Sweden alone, and the costs are increasing. In order
