Recently, the paper ”When Choices Are Mistakes” by Nielsen, Kirby, and John Rehbeck (2022) introduced a novel method to test axiomatic theories of choice under risk. This innovative approach opened new avenues for exploring decision- making processes. Ambiguity aversion, a distinct concept where probabilities of outcomes are unknown, is fundamental in understanding economic and financial decisions

Zabrze is a medium size town of 200 000 inhabitants in the region of Upper Silesia, Poland. The development of the town was originally based on the exploitation of heavy industries. In the past few years Zabrze has, however, moved towards more service and tourism oriented industries. As part of this journey, the city of Zabrze sees the need to improve its existing waste management system. This rep

Unprecedented global challenges demand all-encompassing modification of societal realms to ensure life support functions and human development. In the absence of adequate responses to climate change at a global level and the need for place-based adaptation, local governments are gaining increasing attention to govern and implement solution options to foster sustainability transitions. In this cont

The value of the results in every clinical study depends on the quality of the captured data and the analysis process. The goal is to discover and prove a scientific matter, to do this the data has to be valid, easy to access and understandable. To capture data is often a complex, time consuming process that could go on for multiple years, it's a process done for all studies. Imagine the possi

Some colors might have different connotations depending on people’s cultural backgrounds. When talking about evacuation, the color employed for exit signs and flashing lights plays a significant role because it is in charge of transmitting a message to the evacuees, either danger or safety. The aims of this study are to evaluate the influence of red and green emergency wayfinding systems on people

Klädföretag säljer alla ”samma” produkt till sina konsumenter. Produkten är kläder med ett visst mode. För att kunna bli ett framgångsrikt företag är marknadsföring en viktig del, något som allt fler företag har blivit medvetna om. Med bakgrund av att allt fler företag vill synas på marknaden för att attrahera konsumenterna samt skapa en märkeskännedom hos dem, har vikten av differentierad reklam

This paper analyzes a way of allocating primarily three indivisible objects to the same number of individuals. We define an allocation rule that, given the preferences of the individuals, distributes an amount of money together with exactly one indivisible object to each of the individuals in a fair and optimal way. The monetary distributions are foremost interpreted as compensations and are regul

The retailing sector plays an important role in sustainable development and climate change. The grocery retailer serves as an intermediary between suppliers and consumers, and is thus in direct contact on a daily basis with consumers. This gives all stakeholders unique position from which to influence each other, i.e. on the production and consumption part of products, but also on in-store activit

En av behandlingsmetoderna mot tumörer i levern på Lunds Universitetssjukhus är SIRT som står för ”Selective Internal RadioTherapy” det vill säga en intern radioterapeutisk behandling, i detta fall specifikt för levern. Behandlingen är cirka tio år gammal och i Lund har den utförts sedan december 2010. Under våren 2012 behandlades tre patienter med SIRT då de inte kan få sina cancertumörer i leverIntroduction: Cancer treatment is a process with continuous development. The most common treatment, within the field of radiation physics, is external radiation therapy, whereas one of the least common methods is Selective Internal RadioTherapy (SIRT). SIRT is a rather novel method for treating liver carcinoma. Microspheres containing 90Y are infused directly into the liver, via the hepatic artery

Due to reasons such as climate change and fuel security, the Skåne County have arrived at a clear political vision to become fossil-free. A large part of this vision is seen as the transition phase in transportation, which is also the most demanding. The challenge is how to balance between tradeoffs as well as achieve the goal without sacrificing too much on the way. In order to accomplish this re

In 2005 there were 18 500 accidents in the traffic in Sweden. 26 459 peoplegot injured and 440 people died due to the traffic accidents. When accidents in the traffic happens the one thing that makes the greatest difference in the outcome is the fast arrival of anyone from the Blue Light Organization (BLO) to the scene of accident (SoA). Minutes makes difference. Fire fighters, ambulance nurses a

Over the past few decades, digital methods of documentation and exhibition have been becoming ever more popular in museums. As technologies advance, so too do the implications for museum digitization. This thesis provides a glimpse into the current atmosphere of museum digitization, proposes new applications for digital documentation and propagates these themes through the development of a case st

Efterfrågan efter hushållsarbete har ökat i Europa sedan 1990-talet på grund av minskande välfärdstjänster, ökade krav på prestation på arbetsmarknaden och bättre ekonomiska förutsättningar att betala för hushållsarbete. Dessutom uppfyller det fria flödet av arbetskraft inom EU och EES-området efterfrågan eftersom arbetskraft från fattigare områden blir tillgänglig för hushållen i länder med bättrThe demand for domestic work has increased in Europe since the 1990´s due to decreasing welfare services, increasing demands for performance in the labour market and financial ability to pay for domestic work. In addition, the free flow of labour within the European Union and the EEA-area meets these demands when labour force from the poorer areas become available for households in countries with

Olagligt, orapporterat och oreglerat (IUU) fiske är ett av de största hoten mot den marina biologiska mångfalden. Problematiken går hand i hand med farhågorna kring överfiske, något som har anammats av det internationella samfundet under de senaste två decennierna. Stater har uppmanats att på egen hand eller genom gemensamma initiativ, vidta åtgärder för att bekämpa IUU-fiske. Som en utav de störsIllegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities are currently considered to be one of the largest threats to the conservation of marine living resources and biodiversity. Thus, the international community have for the last two decades called upon States to take measures, individually or jointly, to combat IUU fishing. As an important actor on the global market, the European Union (EU)

Anaerobic digestion is a cost-effective way of treating high organic content wastewater, as it efficiently removes large amounts of organics at the same time as biogas is produced. The production of starch from cassava roots, named tapioca, creates large amounts of high organic content wastewater and uses large amounts of thermal energy for drying the starch. At Wusons tapioca factory in southern

Avoiding consumer skepticism of corporate social responsibility programs has become an important factor in CSR communication. Literature points towards a need for a more consumer-focused, symmetrical approach to CSR communication, especially in the case of cause-related marketing. The Estee Lauder 2014 Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign uses a co-creational approach to CSR, centered on user-generate

Cereal grains are an important staple in many diets across the globe. Being one of the most cultivated cereal crops worldwide, especially in Nordic countries, oats are known to have a high dietary fibre content and a nutritional value that makes them highly beneficial for human health. Avenanthramides are a group of phenolic compounds that, among other cereal grains, are only produced in oats. Ave

Background Companies are increasingly realizing that efficient distribution can contribute to gaining a competitive advantage in the market. By efficiently routing vehicles, the optimal balance between customer service and costs can be achieved. Consequently, the vehicle routing problem is one of the most critical challenges logistics companies face today. However, previous research on vehicle rou

Exoplanets and their host stars are intrinsically related as they form from the same accretion disc, and are therefore expected to have similar chemical composition. Thus, knowing the composition of exoplanet host stars is important for developing planetary formation and migration theories. There has been a recent uptick in studies of ultra-hot Jupiter atmospheres as their orbital configurations p
