This chapter challenges the widely held belief that more consumer choices lead to better outcomes. This chapter explores how the proliferation of options, while seemingly empowering, can actually lead to decision paralysis, dissatisfaction and unsustainable consumption patterns. The myth is rooted in classical economic theories that equate more choice with freedom and personal satisfaction, but ps
The growing vulnerability of cities to extreme heat underscores the urgency of effective urban adaptation policies. Despite the progress in developing urban climate policies and strategies, there remains a significant disparity between intended goals and actual outcomes. This could entrench social and climate vulnerabilities that are costly and challenging to address, potentially resulting in rein
Shrinking public sectors and limited opportunities for gaining formal wage employment in the private sector have resulted in entrepreneurship being promoted as a means of generating youth employment. This discourse is being widely promoted within sub-Saharan Africa despite little being known about how best to support youth employment and entrepreneurship. This paper focuses on two of the main trad
Early-life adversity negatively affects morbidity and survival in late life, but knowledge is limited about effects on women’s reproduction and reproductive health. To deepen our understanding of the full effects of disease exposure in early life, including long-term consequences, we study women’s reproductive outcomes and their offspring’s health. Using the Scanian Economic Demographic Database a
In this study, we performed an experimental investigation of water absorption and penetration in clay brick masonry exposed to cyclic water spraying by employing a newly developed test setup. Several parameters, including brick absorption properties and different mortar joint profiles, were investigated. The specimens were exposed to a uniform water spray rate ranging between 1.7 and 3.8 l/m2/h, a
För många innebär datorspel att kliva in i den fiktiva värld som spelet skapar och på så vis undgå verkligenheten. I forskningssammanhang är det precis tvärtom, då är datorspel eller mikrovärldar som det också kallas ett sätt att simulera verkligheten. I detta examensarbete har möjligheten att använda datorspel för studier inom riskhanteringsområdet undersökts. Då det tidigare inte fanns någon miIt has been shown that it can be difficult to study decision making in a risk management context when traditional methods are used. An alternative to traditional methods is to use micro worlds. A certain type of decision making in the risk management context is about investments in capability which has been studied in this thesis. The aim of the project is divided into two parts, where the first p
Förskolorna måste göra mer på hälsoskyddsområdet än att lära barn tvätta händerna Samtliga förskolor i Lomma Kommun har under 2012 och 2013 inspekterats av miljökontoret för att följa upp Socialstyrelsens projekt om hygien och smittskydd i förskolan från 2009. Resultatet visar att de 24 förskolorna i Lomma Kommun har bra rutiner för hygien, smittskydd och städning. Andra områden som krävs enligStudies have showed that children that are spending their daytime at preschools suffer from more infections than children who stay at home. The indoor environment has a big impact on our health and therefore it must be good and suitable for the children in preschools. According to the Swedish environmental laws preschools must set- up preventive work to avoid environmental and health problems an
Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar styrkan i ett företags strategiska position. Styrkan klassificeras som graden av svårighet konkurrerande företag har att inta det egna företagets position. Syftet uppnås genom att applicera en kvalitativ fallstudie på Rynkebys lansering på den svenska markanden. The Resource Based View (RBV) och dess isoleringsmekanismer samt ConsumerThe purpose of this study is to investigate which factors affect the strength of companies strategic position. The strength is defined by how hard it is for a competing firms to enter the strategic position. The factors are derived by applying the Resource- Based View (RBV) and it’s Isolation Mechanisms as well as Consumer Benefit Experienced (CBE) and it’s Human Capital based strategies on a case
Fallet med den kristna barnmorskan Ellinor Grimmark, som på grund av sin vägran att delta i aborter nekades anställning vid tre kliniker, skapade stor debatt i Sverige våren 2014. Personalens rätt att följa sitt eget samvete och åtnjuta religionsfrihet ställdes mot kvinnans rätt till fri och tillgänglig abort och arbetstagarens tjänsteplikt. Grimmark anmälde sin arbetsgivare till DiskrimineringsomEllinor Grimmark, a Christian midwife, refused to participate in abortions and was consequently denied employment at three different hospitals. In the spring of 2014, she filed a complaint to the Equality Ombudsman but lost her case. Negotiations are however currently taking place in Jönköping’s district court, where it will be decided whether Grimmark can claim damages for discrimination. Grimmar
Social work as an occupation started in Russia at the beginning of the 1990s. Social pedagogue as a profession was created in the school system to provide assistance and guidance for children. As a relatively new, and quite unique occupation in schools, social pedagogues experience some difficulty concerning the ambiguity of their professional role. The purpose of this study was to examine how soc
A new low pressure fuel system implementation for Scania’s trucks is being investigated. The main challenge consists in exchanging the mechanical pump with electrical pumps. The electrical pumps must then be controlled to supply exactly the demanded amount of fuel at the required pressure. System redundancy allows a lot of degrees of freedom influencing the final performance. This thesis studies t
Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka huruvida hedersproblematiska familjeförhållanden kan vara att likställa med brister i omsorgen i 2 § lag med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU) samt att undersöka om lagstiftningen har förmågan att tillgodose skyddet av flickor som lever i en hederskontext. Heder är något som bara kan tillkomma män. Det är dock kvinnan i familjen som, så att säga, bäThis bachelor thesis aims to investigate whether honor problematic in family relationships can be the equivalent to inadequacy in care in § 2 teams with the Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (CYPA) and to investigate whether the legislation has the ability to cater to the protection of girls living in an honors context. It´s only men who can have honor. But it´s the woman in the fami
Skiljeförfarandet har vid sidan av den statliga rättskipningen länge utgjort ett populärt domstolsalternativ i näringslivet. Genom svenska åtaganden i Europakonventionen och FN har skiljeförfarandet i en allt större grad blivit ett gångbart alternativ. I svensk rätt innebär ett skiljeavtal ett dispositivt rättegångshinder. Det finns därför goda skäl att utreda vilka formella kriterier som ett skilArbitration has long been a popular court alternative in business alongside governmental administration of justice. Through commitments in the European Convention and the UN, arbitration has become a viable alternative on a larger scale. In Swedish law, arbitration agreements constitute a ground for inadmissibility. Therefore there is good reason to investigate which formal requirements a court of
When costumers look for a robot for their factory two things are important. The robot should be as efficient as possible, but still be cheap. In order to make the robot efficient the robot-controller has to know the dynamics of the robot and its limits. Based on these it can then generate a time-optimal plan (trajectory) for each movement. The standard way of generating a time-optimal trajectory w
Det vi idag kallar materia och som ligger till grund för hela vårt universum är egentligen en kombination av fundamentala partiklar och deras växelverkan. Detta sammanfattas i Standard Modellen (SM). Toppkvarken är modellens tyngsta partikel och behöver en process med väldigt stor energi för att kunna skapas. Toppkvarken kan experimentellt observeras antingen ensam eller i form av ett par (en toppIn this thesis the charge asymmetry of the dileptonic (e,mu) channel decay of top quark pair is presented, which is studied in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.5 fb^(-1) collected by the ATLAS detector. The final products of this experiment are exactly two leptons, which are one muon and one electron, two jets, where at least on
Strandskyddet är en förbudslagstiftning och innebär därmed en stor börda för den enskilda då den inskränker dennas äganderätt genom rådighetsinskränkningar. Strandskyddsbestämmelserna medför följaktligen en intressekonflikt mellan den enskildas intresse av äganderätt och det allmänna intressen som strandskyddet syftar till att skydda. I egendomsskyddet uttrycks därför Europakonventionens allmänna Shore protection is a legislation controlling use of property, therefore resulting in a burden for the individual property owner. Consequently, the legislation creates a conflict of interest between the individual interest of the property owner and the common interest, which it aspires to protect. Within the article of the right to property in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the ge
The presence of Nano particles in food is a topic that have gain much attention lately. The aim of this study is to investigate the aggregation behavior of nano silica under in vitro gastrointestinal conditions using asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AF4) coupled with several detectors. Major part of this work is to find a suitable condition for the experiments. With measurements of Z-pote
The purpose of this text is to, through a case study of Russia and Ukraine, analyze the relationship between effectivity of contract enforcement and regime type. The hypothesize is that authoritarian regimes in which incumbents’ power is more safely secured will have a more robust and independent judiciary than hybrid regimes, which will have a positive effect on contract enforcement. The analysis
