Korruption är ett begrepp som inte har någon klar definition. Det är många vetenskaper som diskuterar korruption, dock görs detta med delvis olika synvinklar. Denna framställning visar att det finns många olika perspektiv att anlägga på korruptionsproblematiken, perspektiv som dessutom leder till olika slutsatser om problematikens orsaker och verkan. Fler tvärvetenskapliga perspektiv behövs, för aCorruption is a term that has no clear definition. There are many disciplines that discuss corruption, however, this is done with somewhat different perspectives. This essay shows multiple perspectives on corruption issues, perspectives which also lead to different conclusions about the causes and effects of corruption. More interdisciplinary perspectives are needed to be able to work against corr

This thesis addresses the application of hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction as a simple, efficient and environmentally friendly tool to study the fate of four common anti-inflammatory drugs (ketoprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and ibuprofen) during wastewater treatment. Initial experiments verified that this technique is applicable on aqueous as well as suspensions of solid samples, thus great

Av flera viktiga skäl borde Margot Wallström ha avstått från mötet med Irans utrikesminister Mohammad Javad Zarif. Islamiska regimen har redan tillräckligt många forum för att driva sin politiska agenda. När mötet ändå äger rum måste Wallström lyfta fram viktig kritik, skriver Arvin Khoshnood och Ardavan Khoshnood.

The pre-activation negativity (PrAN) is an event-related potential (ERP) component indexing how constraining phonological cues are. It has an early phase (136-200 ms), with sources in the left auditory cortices, and a late phase (200 ms onwards), with sources in Broca’s area. The PrAN has been found for segmental and prosodic cues increasing the certainty about upcoming words, morphemes, grammatic

Den aisopiska fabeln etablerades som genre i den grekiska antiken och nådde Skandinavien under medeltiden. I svensk kultur upplevde fabeln en storhetstid under den tidigmoderna epoken (1500–1800). Monografin Fabelbruk i svensk tidigmodernitet. En genrehistorisk studie tar ett helhetsgrepp om fabelgenrens historia i Sverige under denna 300-årsperiod. I dialog med ny internationell fabel- och genref

Obesity is one of the major health concerns that has reached epidemic proportions globally. It is generally believed to be a result of interactions between genetic and environmental factors. In this thesis we investigated the role of dietary factors in modifying the genetic susceptibility to obesity (papers I to III), studied the association between genetic susceptibility to obesity and weight gai

Osteoporosis and related fractures are a global health problem. Physical activity, especially during growth, has been suggested as a strategy to improve musculoskeletal health in the population. Previous prospective pediatric exercise intervention studies, however, are short-term, mostly covering less than one year and use bone traits as surrogate endpoints for fractures. The Pediatric Osteoporosi

This thesis studies the techniques of laser remote sensing and their applications in environmental monitoring, as documented in several published papers. The environment where the human being live is degrading with an accelerating speed. Quantitative monitoring characterizes the quality of the environment and offers possibilities to solve environmental problems. Laser remote sensing actively prob

The new interest in density displayed by professional town planners and town-planning researchers is related to the present densification of the urban environment in many towns and cities. Research on densification is primarily concerned with the link between urban form and sustainable development. The point of departure of this thesis is to consider what a denser housing environment will mean to

Lynch syndrome (hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer) is one of the most common hereditary cancer syndromes and predisposes to several cancer types, including cancer of the colorectum, endometrium and ovaries. Cancer develops at an early age and one third of the individuals are affected by a metachronous cancer. Recognition of families with Lynch syndrome is important since this allows inclus
