Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen är indelad i två delar. I den första delen studeras hur kommunikation påverkar utfall i strategiska situationer, så kallade spel. Den andra delen studerar individers riskpreferenser. Metodologiskt förlitar sig avhandlingen till största delen på ekonomiska experiment. I kapitel 2 till 4, som är författade tillsammans med Ola Andersson, studeras effekterna aThis thesis is divided into two distinct parts. The first part studies communication in games and the second part investigates individual decision making under risk. Chapters 2 – 4, co-authored with Ola Andersson, investigate communication and renegotiation in dynamic games. In Chapter 2, Bertrand supergames with non-binding communication are used to study price formation and stability of collus

Bolivia has experienced a drastic decline in inequality and poverty since 2000. It coincided with the administrative period of Evo Morales between 2006 and 2019. Hence, it is debated whether poverty reduction was mainly driven by economic growth alongside the commodity boom in the 2000s or by policy implementations during Morales’s presidency. This study addresses the research question: “How and w

Centre for Innovation Research – CIRCLE – is an interdisciplinary centre which connects innovation researchers from different faculties at Lund University as well as other Swedish and international universities. The meaning of the term innovation has transformed and is now tightly linked to sustainable development goals including climate change, social sustainability and food security. CIRCLE’s a

Platelets express Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and this has been shown to be responsible for the thrombocytopenia induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration in vivo. We studied the role of LPS in mediating platelet phagocytosis by THP-1 cells in vitro by flow cytometry. Opsonization of platelets with an IgG monoclonal (W6/32) antibody or with IgG autoantibody-positive sera from patients wi

A shift in new venture creation can be observed from purely profit-oriented models to alternatives attempting to also answer social and environmental needs. Because of their nature, these alternatives face issues regarding their integration in traditional financial and business spheres. Shared Value Creation is a framework that attempts to analyse these ventures and those challenges. Blockchain te

Currently, the focus of the group’s research has been on the relationship between room acoustics and voice use in teachers. This work, supported by AFA insurance, examines the prevalence and aetiology of voice disorders in teachers in Southern Sweden, applying a blend of techniques: questionnaires, high-speed laryngeal imaging, acoustic and perceptual voice analysis, and field studies of voice use

beta-Microseminoprotein (MSP) is one of the most abundant proteins in human seminal plasma and is secreted from the prostate gland. Its evolution can be traced from primates down to nonvertebrate species such as amphioxus, despite substantial differences in the primary structure. Most mammals are known to have one single MSP gene, but we have previously shown that the cotton-top tamarin and the co

The Iranian diaspora is rather well studied. Researchers have investigated wide topics within the diaspora, from its political activities, the identity of 2nd generation diaspora Iranians, to host society dynamics and nostalgia. These studies reveal an ethno-nationalist attitude, as many in the Iranian diaspora do not adhere to the Persian-dominated identity articulated by the Iranian diaspora. To

The reassignment technique is used to increase localization for signal components in the time-frequency representation. The technique gives perfect localization for infinite linear chirp-signals, impulses and constant frequency signals but not for short non-stationary signals. In this paper, a scaled reassignment is proposed, based on the spectrogram using a Gaussian window. The resulting reassign

According to results of a recent literature search performed by the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Task Forces (TF) on Quality of Life and Patient Oriented Outcomes (QoL and PO) and Acne, Rosacea and Hidradenitis Suppurativa (ARHS), most of the publications where health-related (HR) QoL of acne patients was studied were clinical trials. Members of the EADV TF on QoL and PO

Carbon accounting has become an important part of sustainability governance, as organisations are increasingly expected to report and justify their climate impacts. However, emissions figures are not neutral technical outputs. They are shaped by methodological choices, boundaries, assumptions, data infrastructures, and professional judgement. This is especially relevant for municipalities, where c

Objective: Cardiovascular disease can be prevented through lifestyle changes, but such changes are often hard to attain. Text message interventions with lifestyle advice have shown small but promising effects. Our objective was to explore participant experience of a text message lifestyle intervention for patients with hypertension, and implications for future lifestyle interventions. Design and s
