The view of the exchange and trade that took place during the Viking Age has varied considerably. This variation is obvious from a scrutiny of how one and the same place, Birka, is described by different scholars over a period of a hundred years.

I min avhandling undersöker jag varierande placering av objekt till verb i svenskans historia.

Alongside the medical issues, mass vaccination campaigns like the one related to the COVID-19 pandemic also have civic and epistemic effects connected to the engagement of people on the internet in matters concerning the vaccination and vaccination campaign
The thesis consists of an introductory chapter, followed by three chapters which all deal with theoretical issues related to moral hazard and insurance. In Chapter 2 we assume symmetric and perfect information. We conclude that, given some standard assumptions, the expected utility function cannot be quasi-concave, which strengthens earlier findings in the literature. As a consequence convex prefe
Propane ammoxidation catalysts of differing Sb/V ratio and consisting of differing amounts of the V2O5, alpha-Sb2O4, and Sb0.92V0.92O4 phases were prepared. In the first paper, the structure of Sb0.92V0.92O4 was determined by thermogravimetry, X-ray microanalysis, X-ray powder diffraction, and neutron powder diffraction. Sb0.92V0.92O4 was found to have a defective rutile structure involving catio
The increasing multinational societies brought the issue of political recognition and accomodation of ethnic minority groups, and adoption of multicultural policies are found to be facilitator in this process. Both as a political idea and set of public policies, multiculturalism is highly contested on whether it is responsible for failed integration and segregated ethnic communities. Nonetheless,
One of the most invasive choices a democratic society can make is to amend its constitution. Despite the fact that Sweden and Denmark are frequently described as having very similar democracies, the two nations have made different decisions about how these changes should be carried out. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast Sweden's and Denmark's constitutional amendment pro
