Den västerländska byråkratiska modellen prisades länge som en effektiv och legitim metod för att förvalta den offentliga sektorn. I samband med västvärldens ekonomiska stagnation under 1970-talet höjdes dock allt fler röster, främst ifrån nyliberala kretsar, mot det man såg som en alltför kostsam och dyr förvaltningsmodell. Införandet av New Public Management-reformer i Sverige, såsom privatiserin

Hur reflekterar journalisterna själva kring magkänslan och dess potentiella motsättning gentemot obj

This paper aims to assess the effects of internet usage on bilateral trade volumes. Increasingly companies are conducting business online. If the effect of an increased internet usage on trade is positive then it would be yet another reason for policy makers to invest in the development and expansion of IT infrastructure. Three main models are specified using the fixed effects estimator, includin
In the light of (super) wicked problems, as climate change is, a deep transformation of energy and transport systems is needed. Among other technological innovations, liquid biofuels were adopted also in Romania as an innovation that could contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable transport. However, the biofuels sector is not well-developed in Romania, in spite of considerable poten
Since the demands for energy efficient buildings becomes higher and higher it is interesting to look at how we use our energy inside the buildings. Approximately 87% of all energy used inside a house is used for heat, a good way to lower our energy use would therefore be to lower the amount of energy needed for heat. Today there are several different types of heating systems, some regarded more en

According to Reinhart and Rogoff (2009), credit booms have been associated with financial instability and crisis for as long as 800 years. Notwithstanding, the debate on the sustainability of increased indebtedness in the world economy has regained importance, as trends for both public and private debt show rapid rises in the last three decades. To understand the effect of debt accumulation on gro
Med ett grafiskt gränssnitt kan man illustrera energiförbrukning och göra människor medvetna om deras energiförbrukning och miljöpåverkan. Medeltemperaturen på Jorden ökar och ska vi kunna leva kvar på jorden måste människan minska sin miljöpåverkan. Många personer tar ansvar för energiförbrukning de betalar i sina hushåll, men tenderar till att överkonsumera det som ingår i ”månadsavgiften”. På e
The objective of this paper is to apply the proposal presented by Vesterinen & Bylund (2013) for the explanation of the Spanish subjunctive mood in a contemporary political debate. It is assumed that the proposal will be able to explain the variations of mood observed in the debate. The proposal explains the occurrence of the subjunctive mood in subordinate clauses with the notion that the pro
The effect of university ranking on university applications has been subject to evaluations in several countries but in Sweden it is not as recognized. This study aims to examine whether applicants to Swedish university studies are affected by national and international university rankings. The effect of university ranking is examined on a set of applicant related variables such as the total numbe

This is an ongoing debate, relevant also outside this particular exhibition. The critique and the documentation of this show, New Portraits, are the main source
Brownification is an increasing problem in the Northern Hemisphere. In the south of Sweden, the Kristianstads commune, its Vattensriket biosphere, and the local farmers and fishermen are particularly affected by the brownification of their main river, the Helge Å. The iron concentration and the concentration of dissolved organic matter have increased by 284% and 118%, respectively, in 40 years. Fu
Diel Vertical Migration (DVM) in the aquatic environment is of great ecological importance. In order to better understand and predict this fabulous orchestra of migrating biomass, the underlying behaviors behind each individual’s swimming tactics need to be better understood. While vertical migrating behaviors in animals such as zooplankton and fish have been deeply investigated, phytoplankton beh

Brain Machine Interface (BMI) denominates a collection of systems which interface with the Central Nervous System (CNS). Implementation of a BMI involves the detection, extraction, processing, and translation of the signals from the Central Nervous System. A simulator to generate extracellular recordings is proposed by P.T.Thorbergsson, H. Jorntell, F.Bengtsson, M.Garwicz, J. Schouenborg, A.J Joh
