We study in a laboratory experiment whether humans prefer to depend on decisions of others (Human-Driven Uncertainty) or states generated by a computer (Computerized Uncertainty). The experimental design introduced in this paper is unique in that it introduces Human-Driven Uncertainty such that it does not derive from a strategic context. In our experiment, Human-Driven Uncertainty derives from de
The energy gap of correlated Hubbard clusters is well studied for one-dimensional systems using analytical methods and density-matrix-renormalization-group (DMRG) simulations. Beyond 1D, however, exact results are available only for small systems by quantum Monte Carlo. For this reason and, due to the problems of DMRG in simulating 2D and 3D systems, alternative methods such as Green functions com
Antibunching effect is typically observed in individual systems possessing photoluminescence (PL) blinking and vice versa. Contrary to this common perception, absence of antibunching in strongly blinking methyl ammonium led tri-iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite crystals of sizes from tens to hundreds of nanometers regardless of the excitation power density is observed. Antibunching effect does not appear
In April, 2019, the author discovered that Archbishop Erling Eidem’s sermons and speeches, since 1966/1978, have been kept in the University library of Uppsala. This has been overlooked by all authors earlier dealing with Eidem, only using shortened summaries. In Lützen, on November 6, 1942, Eidem stated that »our Gustavus-Adolphuscelebration may not be characterized by national self-sufficiency a
This paper attempts to investigate whether there are gender and regional specific differences in risk perception in three municipalities in Sweden. It focuses on differences between gender and region with regard to risk perception, issues of trust and credibility as well as attitudes towards local industry and emergency response behaviour. This study is based on results from a larger study investi
Most off-the-shelf embedded control systems lack proper mechanisms to handle computational overload conditions. Therefore, delays may accumulate and produce overruns, potentially harming the stability and performance of the controlled system. In this paper, we explore a controller implementation in which overrun events are tolerated and tackled with a proper countermeasure, which can be easily plu
Background: Loss of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) affects visual acuity during head movements. Previous studies have shown that compensatory eye-saccades improve visual acuity and that the timing of the saccade is important. Most of the tests involved in testing VOR are made with passive head movement, that do not necessarily reflect the activities of daily living and thus not being proportion
Enhancing floral resources is a widely accepted strategy for supporting wild bees and promoting crop pollination. Planning effective enhancements can be informed with pollination service models, but these models should capture the behavioural and spatial dynamics of service-providing organisms. Model predictions, and hence management recommendations, are likely to be sensitive to these dynamics. W
A challenge for the theorising of climate justice is that even when the agents whose actions are supposed to be regulated are cooperative and act in good faith, they may still disagree about how the burdens and benefits of dealing with climate change should be distributed. This article is a contribution to the formulation of a useful role for normative theorising in light of this bounded nature of
The objective of this paper is to present the main results of an engineering-research project dealing with model-based evaluation of waste streams treatment from a biotech company. This has been extensively done in domestic treatment systems, but is equally important, and with different challenges in industrial wastewater treatment. A new s
Immigrant mothers who have immigrated during the last ten years and do not speak the language of the new country are found to be at particular risk of being affected by postpartum depression (PPD). Still they choose to participate to a lesser extent in screening for PPD and are not screened out as frequently as can be expected. In this study, non-native-speaking immigrant mothers’ experiences of p
In order for semiconductor materials to be suitable for implementation in new and progressive devices they have to be of better electronic characteristics than currently used materials, and maintain these once treated and put into action. It is important to verify that bulk characteristics are not hindered at the surface when a given semiconductor is put in contact with another material due to nec
Green products are on the rise. Consumers, especially among the Millennial generation, are demanding sustainable products which led to a green consumer trend that puts major pressure on companies to go green. Nowadays, product choices are not only made on a functional and emotional basis but also in regards to how a company meets its social and environmental responsibility. Thus, companies start t
he Swedish government’s export strategy (2015) calls for Swedish SMEs to export more, particularly beyond the EU Internal Market. Swedish public organisations engaging in export-promoting activities are thus to increase export aid to SMEs, using SMEs’ needs as compass. Yet many, if not most, SMEs will never export. In a survey (N=174) to high-growth SMEs, this study examines exportoriented SMEs’ o
The aim of this qualitative study is to investigate social services managers' expectations and experiences of social services consultants. This study focuses on managers for children and young people in social services. The method used in the survey was semistructured interviews with six managers, who has had at least one consultant in their working group. To analyze our results, we have used
Kravet på att regeringen ska skicka lagförslag på remiss till myndigheter och andra remissinstanser innan förslaget presenteras för riksdagen utgör en central del av den svenska lagstiftningsprocessen och har stadgats i RF sedan 1809. En tanke med remissförfarandet är att lagstiftningens konsekvenser ska bli kända på förhand och att lagstiftaren därmed kan avstå från att stifta lagar som stårThe demand that proposed laws are to be referred to authorities and civil organizations before they are presented to the parliament (the “referral demand”) forms a central part of the Swedish legislation process and has been stipulated in the Instruction of Government (IG) since 1809. One purpose of this procedure is that all possible consequences of a law are to be known before the law is vo
The goal of this study was to get the first-line managers in municipal elderly care view on the relationship between them and their employees, what kind of factors matter when building the relationship, and also how different styles of leadership could affect the process. The selection of participants was chosen by finding first-line managers in municipal elderly care within driving distance from
I den svenska rättsordningen anses djur vara lös egendom. Detta innebär att de kan säljas, bytas, överges och till och med dödas, allt enligt ägarens vilja. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda vad denna status får för effekter samt om det rättsliga skydd djur har i övrigt är tillräckligt. En följd av att djur räknas som lös egendom är att brott mot djur kan rubriceras som skadegörelse. VidareIn the Swedish legal system animals are considered property. This leads to them being able to be sold, traded, abandoned and even killed, all according to the wishes of the owner. The purpose of this essay is investigating what the effects of this status are, as well as investigating whether the legal protection animals have through Swedish law in other aspects is sufficient. One effect of the f
Life is generally viewed to be priceless, however, for an economy to work, there has to be some sort of value-placement on human life. The concept applied to attain such a value-placement is called the value of statistical life. This study seeks to identify if there is a connection between the value of statistical life in different countries and what implications such a result might hold. Using Mi
