Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling ger ett bidrag till teorin om strategisäkra kollektiva beslut. I denna teori undersöks under vilka förutsättningar det är möjligt att konstruera omröstningsprocedurer (hädanefter kallade för kollektiva valfunktioner) som är strategisäkra i den bemärkelsen att ingen väljare kan ändra utfallet av en omröstning till sin fördel genom att inte rösta enligt sThis thesis makes a contribution to strategy-proof social choice theory, in which one investigates the conditions under which it is possible to construct social choice functions (i.e., voting procedures) that can never be manipulated in the sense that some voter, by misrepresentation of his true preferences, can change the outcome of a voting and obtain an alternative he prefers to the one that ho

Disaster-induced and conflict-induced forced displacements areamong the biggest humanitarian and development challenges of the countriesaround the world in the 21st century. The increasing rate of the forced displacementputs significant pressure on the built environment which popularly includes thechallenges associated with delivering the essential goods and services, providingadequate and appropr

Vi människor är biologiska varelser och därför sammanvävda med övrigt liv på jorden. Det betyder att vi både för vår överlevnad och för vår vällevnad är helt beroende, inte bara av att det finns en rikedom av liv på planeten, utan också av ett otal ekologiska funktioner som genereras av levande organismer, av enskilda arter eller av flera arter i samspel. Det handlar om direkt livsuppehållande fun

As in most cultural contexts and theoretical conceptualizations of peacebuilding, the fulfilment of justice and the sustainment of peace are intimately related in the Arab-Islamic frame of reference. In the Qur’an and Islamic philosophy, there is a direct correlation between establishing a just social order and the notion of peacebuilding (Abu-Nimer 2006). Guidelines are set forth for building a so

• Misdiagnosed and maltreated scaphoid fractures filed to the Swedish National Patient Insurance Company (LÖF) 2011–2018 were analyzed in terms of complications and costs for society. All filed claims are database-registered (altogether 200 000 claims since 2000). This database was assessed in June 2019 through injury ICD10-SWE-diagnoses. Demographics, complications, complaints, corrective surgeri

För att att minska städernas koldioxidutsläpp relaterat till val av byggmaterial, byggprocess samt energianvändningen i våra boenden skulle fler hus behöva byggas i trä, renovering i högre grad väljas i stället för rivning, husen skulle behöva göras mer energieffektiva och vi skulle behöva bo fler på mindre yta, menar Johanna Alkan Olsson, docent i miljövetenskap vid Lunds universitet och speciali

The unprecedented use of Earth's resources by humans, in combination with increasing natural variability in natural processes over the past century, is affecting the evolution of the Earth system. To better understand natural processes and their potential future trajectories requires improved integration with and quantification of human processes. Similarly, to mitigate risk and facilitate socio-e

Objective: To investigate the ability of statins to activate the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) in primary human monocytes in culture. Materials and methods: Human peripheral monocytes were incubated with atorvastatin (0.1-10 μmol/1) for up to 24 hours. PPAR-γ expression was analysed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Pro-inflammatory cytokines wer

Vertical III-V nanowire MOSFETs are interesting candidates for future digital and analog applications. High electron velocity III-V materials allow fabrication of low power and high frequency MOSFETs. Vertical vapor-liquid-solid growth enables fabrication of axial and radial heterostructure nanowires. This enables fabrication of novel structures where the band-gap can be engineered in the electron

Background: To understand user needs, system requirements and organizational conditions towards successful design and adoption of Clinical Decision Support Systems for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) care built on top of computerized risk models. Methods: The holistic and evidence-based CEHRES Roadmap, used to create eHealth solutions through participatory development approach, persuasive design techniques

Intersectional discrimination against people on the move underpins inadequate responses to COVID-19. The right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress and its applications clearly demands substantive racial equality when designing economic and public health measures to address the pandemic.

Global steel production is currently dependent on coal and capital-intensive production facilities with long economic lifetimes. While the Paris Agreement means carbon neutrality must be reached globally by 2050–2070, with negative emissions thereafter, coal-based steel production today accounts for around 8% of global energy-related CO2 emissions. Its production may stabilize or even decline in i

År 2013 genomförde EU en reform av den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken som bland annat syftade till att göra den mer miljövänlig. Ett förgröningsstöd infördes för att öka den biologiska mångfalden och därtill relaterade ekosystemtjänster. Reformen analyseras för att förstå hur den påverkat jordbrukets markanvändning och vilka effekter den har fått för miljön. Vi finner att:- Förgröningsåtgärderna i
