Syftet med studien var att undersöka om människors moraliska hjälpvalsbeslut i nödsituationer påverkas om beslutet är anonymt eller publikt. Den publika gruppen respondenter manipulerades att tro att de skulle få sin moraliska känslighet utvärderad och publicerad på Facebook. Hypotesen var att den publika gruppen, jämfört med den anonyma, skulle dämpa sin utilitaristiska attityd som studiens moralThis thesis set out to examine whether human decisions during help-choice situations are affected by whether the decisions are anonymous or public.

Regalskeppet Vasa är ett av världens största marina arkeologiska objekt och det enda välbevarade skeppet från 1600-talet. Det bärgades 1961 efter att ha legat på botten i Stockholms hamn i över 300 år. Tiden under vattnet och tiden på museet har utsatt träet i skeppet för många påfrestningar som har resulterat i en nedbrytning av skeppets trä. I syfte att utveckla metoder för bevarande och konservThe Swedish warship Vasa is one of the largest marine archaeological artefacts in the world. It was salvaged from the bottom of the Baltic Sea after 300 years. During the time spent in the sea as well as in a museum hall, the wood of the Vasa experienced a lot of changes. These changes cause degradation of the wood. Studies of the complex chemical composition of the Vasa have been carried out in o

The method of the essay is based on four different interviews with four different ex-convicts that have experienced being punished in Swedish prisons.

Uppsatsen behandlar i huvudsak tre mer eller mindre avgränsade problem med anknytning till återbäringsinstitutet i 17 kap ABL. Ett grundläggande problem med regleringen av värdeöverföringar är att de ofta upptäcks långt efter att de genomfördes, vilket ger upphov till en viss typ av problem. Den första problemställningen som behandlas rör värderingsfrågor. De frågetecken som finns i denna del rörThis paper essentially describes three more or less defined issues related to the institution “Value transfers” in Section 17 in the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551). An underlying problem with the regulation of value transfers is that a value transfer often is revealed much later than the transaction took place, which causes a certain type of problems. The first issue described concerns valuatio

Freudenburg theorizes that few firms with privileged access to environmental rights and resources emit disproportional amounts of pollution while distracting attention so that they are rarely questioned about it. All EU facilities that reported em

Analysis of rail capacity - Investigation of capacity limits Västkustbanan was first recognized by the Swedish Parliament over 50 years ago, when it was decided that the entire route would be equipped with phased out double-track extension. The main purpose was to cope with the future traffic development, along the railway corridor. Since the decision was made, the phased out double-track extensio

Diffusion MRI is an imaging technique capable of inferring information about the tissue microstructure, based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Diffusion MRI data can be analysed using tractography, a tool able to represent the structure of the white matter (WM) in the brain. Tractography is commonly used qualitatively, but in this report, an algorithm for quantitative tractography was develope

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a form of wireless communication technology enabling data transfer by putting two devices close to each other. The main idea behind NFC is to integrate wireless payment and tag reading in mobile phones along with peer-to-peer communication. An example of the benefit with NFC peer-to-peer communication is that it gives the possibility to quickly set up a Bluetooth
