This article is a critical analysis of Ingrid Robeyns’ “economic limitarianism” (2017, 2019, 2022), the suggestion that there is a moral case against allowing people to be richer than they need to be in order to achieve full flourishing. Wealth above a certain “riches line” lacks value and should be capped at that level. Robeyns claims that limitarianism is justified as a partial theory of economi

Background: The association between neighbourhood crime and major depression (MD) has been described before but previous studies may be limited by biases in self-reported data and the use of homogenous study populations. Our study aimed to examine the association between neighbourhood crime and clinically diagnosed MD among the immigrant and non-immigrant populations in Sweden. Methods: A retrospe

In situ remediation of contaminated groundwater often relies on the installation of a treatment zone (TZ) degrading the contamination. Zero-valent-iron (ZVI) is a type of reagent used for this purpose. Adequate delivery of ZVI in the whole target volume is particularly challenging and requires monitoring with high spatial resolution. We present a monitoring tool for imaging the dynamic spreading o

We present a brief review of literature related to blogs and news sites; our focus is on publications related to COVID-19. We primarily focus on the role of blogs and news sites in disseminating research on COVID-19 to the wider public, that is knowledge transfer channels. The review is for researchers and practitioners in scholarly communication and social media studies of science who would like

Kommersialisering av jordbruket handlar om att förbättra den marknadsorienterade produktionen i syfte att maximera vinsten. Medan tidigare statlig politik i Ghana gynnade kommersialisering av medelstora och stora odlare, finns det ett nytt nationellt åtagande kallat "Planting for Food and Jobs Policy" som syftar till att utnyttja småbrukares samlade produktionspotential för hållbar ekonomisk tillvAgricultural commercialization is concerned with improving market-oriented production in expectation of maximizing profit. While previous state policies in Ghana favoured commercialization by medium and large scale cultivators, there exists a new national commitment dubbed the Planting for Food and Jobs Policy that seeks to leverage on the cumulative productive potential of small farmers for susta

Feedback from stars is essential for the formation and evolution of galaxies. It is an energy source that drives gas motions and chemically enriches the galaxy by supplying metals. Without this stellar feedback, numerical galaxy simulations result in galaxies with little resemblance to those observed in our Universe. Modern galaxy simulations frequently reach a mass resolution of a few tens of sol

There is a growing interest in and demand for supervision to support professional development in human service organizations. This study focused on clinical group supervision provided by social workers in health care to employees at a university hospital in southern Sweden. The aim of the study was to examine the relation between the significance of supervision to the employees, when it comes to d

Many actors in the construction sector as well as in the research community emphasize the importance of experience feedback and knowledge building in order to streamline and improve the working methods. Taking advantage of positive experiences, sharing them with colleagues and documenting them within the organisation can be useful for future projects. On the other hand, negative experiences should

Dagens universitet står inför en allt högre konkurrens om studenter både nationellt och inter-nationellt. Behovet av varumärkning av högre utbildning har således blivit allt större. Univer-siteten måste därför arbeta med att särskilja sig från mängden för att kunna locka studenter och medarbetare till sig. Inom den traditionella varumärkesforskningen har fokus förflyttats från ett produktorientera

The aim of this study was to use case study approach to show educators that identities of immigrant students are complex, and a response to the dominant culture. The cases were four immigrant students in grades 8 to 10 in Iceland. Through interviews, and observations, data was gathered on how the students construct their identities in the school con-text, with a focus on teachers’ expectations. Th

Problemområde: Tryckskador efter operation är ett stort problem både för den enskilda patienten och för sjukvården. Syfte: Undersöka hur operationsteamet uppfattar sitt arbete kring tryckskadeprevention samt vilka hinder och möjligheter som finns för att följa befintliga riktlinjer. Metod: Kvalitativ intervjustudie där 15 intervjuer med olika medlemmar av operationsteamet genomförde och analyserad

The aim of this master’s thesis, as suggested by the title, is to study the usage of film in cultural history exhibitions. The subject arouse from queries such as: why are films so often included in cultural history exhibitions? And what do the films provide the visitors with? The thesis sees a distinct difference between the use of film in cultural history museums and the use of film in art museu

Datering med accelerator? Måhända låter det otympligt, men när det handlar om att datera med hjälp av sällsynta slag av grundämnen kan varje atom räknas. Då handlar det om att kunna räkna enskilda atomer, vilket är möjligt med acceleratorbaserad masspektrometri, AMS. Lunds Universitet har en accelerator anpassad just för den här sortens mätningar, vilken främst nyttjas av institutionerna för fysiFor decades, accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) has been used for radiocarbon dating. The background of this technique is outlined along with an in-depth look at the graphitization process used to prepare samples for AMS analysis. The technology necessary to achieve the vacuum quality needed in graphitization and accelerator mass spectrometry is discussed as well. The graphitization system belong

Bloggen som fenomen har de senaste åren blivit en allt mer populär kanal för in-divider att uttrycka sina åsikter genom. Den används även i allt större utsträckning som huvudsaklig kommunikationskanal för personliga varumärken. Vår undersökning syftar till att identifiera vilka likheter respektive skill-nader det finns i arbetsstrategierna mellan ett corporate brand och ett personligt varumärke Blogs as channel for expression has become more popular the recent years. What also is becoming more commonly occurring is the usage of blogs as communication channel for personal brands. In this paper we have studied how strategies for strong corporate brands are ap-plicable on personal brands with the blog as a main channel. We have been doing a qualitative research by interweaving five differ

Syfte: Syftet med vår studie är genom en kvantitativ kundattitydsundersökning, öka kunskapen om vad konsumenter har för attityd till självservice teknik och tekniska funktioner i hotell- och restaurangbranschen. Samt öka kunskapen om teknikens betydelse för kundens värdeskapande. Metod: Studien grundar sig i en kvantitativ metod med en undersökning via en strukturerad enkät. Enkäten distribuerade

As authorities, the universities are subject to the principle of access to official documents. Records generated during the research process are thus to be regarded as official documents, even though there are disputes over exactly when they are to be considered as such. Scientists are, to various degrees, dependent of access to earlier research data, which may have been collected during research

The goal of this report is to explain the effects of hosting a mega sporting event, in this case the Olympics or the FIFA World Cup. Two different kinds of effects is examined; economical or cyclical which is represented by the unemployment rate and psychological effects which is represented by the number of suicides. A difference-in-difference method is applied comparing effects in host countries
