Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling ger ett bidrag till teorin om strategisäkra kollektiva beslut. I denna teori undersöks under vilka förutsättningar det är möjligt att konstruera omröstningsprocedurer (hädanefter kallade för kollektiva valfunktioner) som är strategisäkra i den bemärkelsen att ingen väljare kan ändra utfallet av en omröstning till sin fördel genom att inte rösta enligt sThis thesis makes a contribution to strategy-proof social choice theory, in which one investigates the conditions under which it is possible to construct social choice functions (i.e., voting procedures) that can never be manipulated in the sense that some voter, by misrepresentation of his true preferences, can change the outcome of a voting and obtain an alternative he prefers to the one that ho

Several authors have reported problems on service courses in basic probability and statistics: students may lack motivation, find the theory difficult or boring, others see no applications for the results. To remedy these problems we have developed a learning environment where two important components are applied problems and use of technology. However, the mere existence of applied problems and t

It is shown how tilt anisoplanatism in laser-supported multi-conjugatedadaptive optics (MCAO) systems can be a) predicted from a prioriknowledge, b) compensated using additional natural guide stars (NGS),and c) estimated in real time from control loop data to allow PSFretrieval. As a consequence of the problems associated with retrievingatmospheric tip and tilt from laser guide star (LGS) measurem

Competing Institutional Logics in Diaconal Work “Institutional logics” is a concept within the context of institutional theory. Institutions can be defined as patterns of activity rooted in material practices and symbolic systems. These institutional orders are all shaped by the history and each of them has a central logic that guides its organizing principles. The institutional logic provides

The conference series European Conference on Scientific Publishing in Biomedicine and Medicine (ECSP) was originated at the Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, Sweden and was for the first time launched in Lund in 2006. The mission to be highly relevant for researchers was retained at the second meeting, hosted by University of Oslo, Library of Medicine and Health Sciences. The meeting focused o

The new challenge of the Gas Turbine industry is to develop new technologies for meeting electricity demand growth and reducing harmful emissions. Thus, a better understanding of the combustion phenomenon and an improvement in simulation capabilities are needed. In this paper, we present a new technique that is computationally efficient, for capturing the thermo-acoustic waves in low Mach number c

The main concern of this paper is the joint utilization of new methods of research and analysis in the study of value. 40 persons, varying from age 20 to 70 and from different professional domains were studies by the use of a three-images technique inspired by Murray´s TAT. The aim was to unveil the implicit dimensions of work related values. Three analytical methods (content analysis, lexical ana

Based on articles published 1990-2004 in 21 LIS journals, a set of co-citation analyses were performed to study changes in research fronts over the last 15 years, where LIS is at now; and to discuss where it is heading. To study research fronts, here defined as current and influential co-cited papers, a citations among documents methodology was applied; and to study changes, the analyses were time
