Previous research suggests that by examining the regional origins of revenues and the expected economic growth in regions, supra-normal returns may be achieved by creating zero investment portfolios. Nevertheless, such previous research examines countries with low export dependence and a high internal demand or uses data from a number of countries with di↵erent economic dependencies. The purpose o

The concept of a smart-sustainable city (SSC) has recently come to dominate urban sustainability political agendas and academic discourses in Europe. This thesis investigates (1) the origination of the SSC concept, (2) how it is being framed as an approach to sustainable urban development, and (3) how it can be contextualized in concrete projects and urban planning initiatives in the city of Malmö

Idag lever ca hälften av världens befolkning i städerna. Detta beräknas öka till ca 60%, närmare 6 miljarder människor till 2030 och en stor fråga som kommer med detta är vart skall alla bo? Jo, det byggs såklart nya bostäder hela tiden för den ökade befolkningen men nästa fråga blir då, vart ska man bygga alla dessa bostäder? Ska de byggas i utkanten av städerna vilket gör att de spiller över på Around half of the world population live within urban areas and is expected increase to encompass 60% by 2030. As the human population increases, cities are forced to densify or expand onto surrounding land, leaving less space for communal green space that supply the urban residents with vital ecosystem services. A resource of green space that thus far hasn’t been explored is private domestic gard

Det är viktigt för blivande läkare att kunna göra korrekta riskbedömningar utifrån patienters testresultat. Tidigare forskning indikerar att den förmågan kan vara bristfällig, men att den går att förbättra genom ett nytt format att presentera statistik på. Det nya formatet kallas naturliga antal och är potentiellt användbart inom undervisning i medicinsk statistik. Den här studien är den första i The ability to draw diagnostic inferences from medical test results is important for future doctors. Earlier research has indicated that this ability may generally be inadequate. However, it can be improved by presenting statistics in a new format, so called natural frequencies, which is adapted to the way the human mind process probabilities. If the effect of this format is robust and generalizab

When law is ambiguously articulated or various legal norms and obligations are working simultaneously, it creates a puzzling situation to individuals that are expected to follow or live under the unclear law. To study these instances, one must depart from the analysis of formal legal texts and legal institutions into the everyday experiences and perceptions of individual citizens. The aim of this

Väntetiders förmåga att ge upphov till rättvisare fördelning av vårdjänster är vida diskuterat. Denna uppsats analyserar väntetider genom tre rättviseteorier: Utilitarianism, egalitarianism och maximin. Uppsatsen visar att analys av väntetider förbättras genom en mer uttryclig rättvisedimension. Principerna kopplas sedan till faktiska väntetider i Sverige 2011-2017. Trots en del brister i den kvanObjectives: There is growing concern regarding waiting times in health care as a mechanism to improve fairness in health services.

Till följd av de förväntade klimatförändringarna beräknas nederbördsmönstren i Sverige att förändras. Episoder av intensiv och kortvarig nederbörd förväntas öka på flertal ställen i landet, samt att utsträckningen av långvarig nederbörd, som kan pågå under flera dagar, även den, förväntas att öka. Det svenska vägnätet stöter redan idag på problem att möta de förändrade nederbördsmängderna, då vägs

Glaciers are of extreme importance since they hold climatic data going back 2,000 years. Glaciers can provide important services such as ecosystem services, habitats, water runoff, and hydro-energy. They also affect the Earth’s processes and many feedback mechanisms. Glaciers all over the world are under the threat of climate change which may eventually lead to the disappearance of many of these i

Purpose: Return policies are an important component for consumers when making a decision to transact with an E-tailer, as such it is equally important for E-tailers’ that the returns policy aids in this decision by reducing information asymmetry. While lenient return policies have the ability to influence the customer positively, they are also subject to opportunistic behavior from consumers, as

The relevance of M&E insights being utilized for reporting, contra planning purposes, for predicting level of outcome implementation have been neglected in previous literature. However, this study can show that when measurements and evaluations is used for future planning of communication activities, level of outcome implementation increase largely. This study can also predict the level of wh

Abstract Background: Person-centered care is increasingly regarded as being synonymous with best quality care.
