Previous research shows that taste is one of the most important factors in determining food choices, and that food choices may be affected by ”nudging”. We analyze how taste, as determined by meal attributes, and nudging affects consumption of a healthy labeled meal. Our analysis is based on a field experiment in a lunch restaurant and our results imply that sales of the healthy labelled meal, and

Social networks and social support are known contributors to health for people in all ages and may be of particular importance for older age groups (2008). There is a rich research tradition on older people’s social networks and during the last decades researchers have analyzed the meanings of these networks from different perspectives. Already in the early 1970s Granovetter (1973, 2005) put forwa

The purpose of the paper is to highlight the influence of expectations of professionals towards a greater role in decision-taking at all levels. This includes an expectation of collaboration in the development of organizational information systems. To this end we drew upon Claudio Ciborra's Mood, represented by his discussion of bricolage, hacking and improvisation and their philosophical foundati

As fault handling in multi-processor system-on-chips (MPSoCs) is a major challenge, we have developed an MPSoC demonstrator that enables experimentation on fault injection and fault handling. Our MPSoC demonstrator consists of (1) an MPSoC model with a set of components (devices) each equipped with fault detection features, so called instruments, (2) an Instrument Access Infrastructure (IAI) based

These are the proceedings of a symposium on nineteenth-century studies hosted by the department of English in November 2002. The volume contains an introduction and eight articles on nineteenth-century literature and culture.

Different theories about woman and woman's writing are surveyed. Showalter's theory on woman's culture is presented and modified, in order to create a theoretical platform for testing the hypothesis about woman's language existing outside the dominant language. The material chosen, women's letters from mainly the 18th Century in French, German, Swedish, and English, for testing this hypothesis, is

This paper treats modelling of power systems with converters in alinear time-periodic framework.A power converter is a nonlinear switching device connecting an ACsystem to a DC system. The converter generates harmonics that mightcause instabilities in systems of this kind. About a nominal periodictrajectory the power converter is well described by a periodic gainmatrix, whereas the power grids oft
