Frank Plumpton Ramsey (1903-1930), British mathematician and philosopher, best known for his work on the foundations of mathematics. But Ramsey also made remarkable contributions to epistemology, semantics, logic, philosophy of science, mathematics, statistics, probability and decision theory, economics and metaphysics.
This report contains four case studies of deposit refund systems for beverage containers in Sweden. It provides an in-depth review of the development of Swedish deposit refund sys-tem for four types of beverage containers – one-way aluminium cans, one-way PET bottles, refillable glass bottles and refillable PET bottles – since their inauguration, as well as concrete operational mechanism and resul
Viewing information systems (IS) as services is beneficial but still an unexplored approach for IS in organizations. The aim of this exercise is to contribute to the knowledge base on designing IS as services. This paper presents an analysis of enterprise resource planning (ERPs) systems through the lens of service oriented architecture (SOA). Services are explained and defined through SOA theory.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Årligen diagnostiseras cirka 60 000 nya fall av cancer i Sverige (Socialstyrelsen, 2015), och var tredje person beräknas få en cancerdiagnos under sin livstid. Trots stora framsteg inom forskning och utveckling är cancer, näst efter hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar, den vanligaste dödsorsaken i vårt samhälle. Bland de tio vanligaste formerna av cancer hör lymfom, vilket är etMantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive form of B-cell lymphoma (BCL) with poor clinical outcome. In this thesis, which is based upon five original papers, different approaches have been used to pinpoint and investigate molecular events that promote MCL tumor growth, progression or resistance to treatment. The aim has been to identify novel targets with the potential to eradicate malignant cel
This study analyses the development of the Lao freight logistics sector with a special focus on domestic demand for freight logistics services. Based on empirical data, the study focuses on two main dimensions of the Lao freight logistics sector: (i) the development of a private freight logistics sector since the formulation of the New Economic Mechanism (NEM) that progressively opened the Lao eco
MIMO technology has facilitated tremendous performance improvements in wireless communications, allowing the data rate to increase linearly with the number of antennas used, at no additional expense in transmit power or spectrum. However, the tremendous performance gain can only be achieved by multi-antenna designs that provide low coupling and correlation, as well as high total efficiency. Such d
Explicit expressions for the spectral properties of the bifurcation problem involving discontinuities for general elastic-plastic materials are presented. It then follows that the classical value of the critical hardening modulus derived by Rice (1976. Proc. 14th IUTAM Congr., Delft, The Netherlands, pp. 207–220, North Holland, Amsterdam.) is, in fact, the only possible one. Furthermore, from the
To an ever-increasing extent, in scientific investigations of various kinds are data collected, which consists of verbal expressions. They may have been generated through verbal presentations, personal interviews, open questions or written accounts. Therefore, it is not unusual that an investigator is confronted with data collections that appear to be “unstructured” and of an extent that it seems
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kvinnor känner till att det är riskabelt att röka när de blir gravida. Trots detta så slutar bara omkring hälften i Sverige och var tredje kvinna i många andra länder att röka när de blir gravida. Syftet i den här avhandlingen har varit att studera varför det är så svårt för gravida kvinnor att sluta röka. Problemområdet har studerats med olika utgångspunkter; gravida kThe aim of this thesis has been to increase understanding on the process of smoking cessation during pregnancy from the perspective of learning. The smoking pattern before and after pregnancy related to health, Sense of Coherence (SOC) and social issues was studied among all pregnant women in south-east Skåne during the period March 1994 to August 1995. They were asked to fill in a questionnaire d
