This thesis departs from a neorealist theoretical perspective but adds a rational actor perspective based on game theory. It shares Waltz' assumption of deep anarchy and the need for states to ensure their security but also maintains that actor prospects may be able to cope with the structural incentives in a flexible manner. Two cases of international politics are studied; 1890-1911 and 2001-

This paper is about policy agenda and climate policies in Sweden. It examines why the alternative of a meat tax isn’t placing on the Swedish policy agenda. The study uses John W. Kingdon’s theory on agenda change presented in his book Agendas, Alternatives and Public Policies, to analyze why a meat tax isn’t seriously considered as a climate policy to reduce GHG-emissions from meat consumption. Th

Online engagement with criminal cases is often interpreted in either punitive or crowdsourcing terms, but interactionist and ethnomethodological analyses can disclose other and more fundamental aspects. This chapter looks closely at a particular practice among posters on the Swedish platform Flashback: that of summing up the discussion ‘so far’.

The orchid Coeloglossum viride (L.) Hartm. has a circumboreal distribution and is widespread in the Nordic countries, especially in the boreal and montane regions. Whereas plants from the lowlands are generally slender and have greenish-yellowish flowers, plants from mountain areas tend to be low-growing with fewer, reddish-brown flowers, leading some authors to recognize the latter as a separate The orchid Coeloglossum viride (L.)

Starting from the premise that English negative modal contractions constitute partly variable patterns of associations that include both the preceding subject and the following verb infinitive, the study sets out to investigate distributional differences between can’t, shouldn’t, and won’t and their corresponding uncontracted parent forms.

The stepwise stabililty constants, Kn for the bromo aqua complexes PtBrn−1(H2O)7−n5−n; n=4, 5, 6, formed in the successive acid hydrolyses of PtBr62−, have been determined to be K6=(.19±0.1) x 103 M−1, K5= (1.0±0.2) x 104 M−1 and K4=(1.1±0.2) x 105 M−1. A bromide assisted mechanism is proposed for the bromide anations of PtBr4(H2O)2 and PtBr5H2O-. Both these reactions are found to be first order wThe stepwise stabililty constants, Kn for the bromo aqua complexes PtBrn−1(H2O)7−n5−n; n=4, 5, 6, formed in the successive acid hydrolyses of PtBr62−, have been determined to be K6=(.19±0.1) x 103 M−1, K5= (1.0±0.2) x 104 M−1 and K4=(1.1±0.2) x 105 M−1.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics, CFRP, are attractive materials not only because of their strength and stiffness but also because of their electrical conductivity and high thermal conductivity and diffusivity. One application where induction heating of CFRP is particularly interesting is tools for fast thermal cycling, beneficial inmany industrial processes, for example in composite manufacturingCarbon fiber reinforced plastics, CFRP, are attractive materials not only because of their strength and stiffness but also because of their electrical conductivity and high thermal conductivity and diffusivity.

Background and objectives: Neuroinflammation is implicated in the development and maintenance of persistent pain states, but there is limited data linking cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inflammatory mediators with neurophysiological pain processes in humans. Study I aimed to investigate whether there are coherent changes in CSF inflammation associated with central sensitization (CS), and to evaluate po

Background: Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a form of behavioural therapy for tics; however, its effectiveness remains uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of internet-delivered, therapist-supported, and parent-assisted ERP for treatment of tics in children and young people with Tourette syndrome or chronic tic disorder. Methods: This multicentre, parallel group, single-blin

IMPORTANCE: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening has potential to reduce prostate cancer mortality but frequently detects prostate cancer that is not clinically important.OBJECTIVE: To describe rates of low-grade (grade group 1) and high-grade (grade groups 2-5) prostate cancer identified among men invited to participate in a prostate cancer screening protocol consisting of a PSA test, a 4-ka

Importance: Recent studies have questioned the presumed low-risk status of patients with asymptomatic nonsevere aortic stenosis (AS). Whether annual N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) measurements are useful for risk assessment is unknown. Objective: To assess the association of annual NT-proBNP measurements with clinical outcomes in patients with nonsevere AS. Design, Setting, a

Adipic acid (AA) has been a valuable industry chemical over the last century, whose production process carbon footprint resides far away from today’s environment-friendly ideals. Therefore, a biological approach for adipic acid production under mild conditions has been studied in this thesis. Wild-type strains of Gluconobacter oxydans have been cultivated to obtain resting cells that were used for

As I write this, there are numerous horrible wars and acts of terror taking place all over the world. However, it is my belief that the situation would be even worse without diplomats working as mediators, and for them to be able to fulfil their duties they need to be inviolable. Through the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, which is believed to reflect customary international law

This paper uses nissological theory in order to ascertain the connection between Eurosceptic voting tendencies or lack thereof, and three elements often associated with island dwelling, those being physical, legal, or identity-based separation. The author has chosen four distinct island regions from around Europe, more specifically Sicily, Crete, Azores and Åland. After an explanation of the basic

Modifications and new approaches for breach response and forensic investigations for compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, is to be expected in May 2018. This paper brings forth the conclusion that engagement from top management is crucial in order to comply with the GDPR requirements. The importance of having a vision and a strategy assessing the matters of breach response

Digitalization has grasped almost every aspect of work in Norway in similarity to the developed world. Although many advantages are followed with the implementation of digital tools to bolster the work effort, there is a widespread downside, technostress. This phenomenon engulfs large parts of the workforce and poses a challenge for any foreseeable future, and there is a general lack of research a
