Standard economic theory assumes that consumers ignore the externalities they create, such as emissions from burning fossil fuels and generating waste. In an incentivized study (N = 3, 718), we find that most people forgo substantial gains to avoid imposing negative externalities on others. Using administrative data on household waste, we show a clear link between such prosociality and waste behav
We study tests of quantum steering in which the trusted party does not have perfect control of their measurements. We report on steering inequalities that remain unaffected when introducing up to a threshold magnitude of measurement imprecision. This phenomenon, which we call an imprecision plateau, thus permits a departure from the standard assumption of idealized measurements without incurring a
We introduce semidefinite programming hierarchies for benchmarking relevant entanglement properties in the high-dimensional steering scenario. Firstly, we provide a general method for detecting the entanglement dimensionality through certification of the Schmidt number. Its key feature is that the computational cost is independent of the Schmidt number under consideration. Secondly, we provide a m
Witnessing nonclassical behavior is a crucial ingredient in quantum information processing. For that, one has to optimize the quantum features a given physical setup can give rise to, which is a hard computational task currently tackled with semidefinite programming, a method limited to linear objective functions and that becomes prohibitive as the complexity of the system grows. Here, we propose
This piece considers how we can think critically around prenatal sex selection and the problem of ‘missing girls’ and devise strategies to address this phenomenon without risk of harming the rights and interests of girls and women. To address the problem of ‘missing girls’ our research findings suggest there is a need to move beyond a rights-based approach towards gender and reproductive justice,
In a world where insect pollinator declines are a reality, understanding their effects on the reproduction and persistence of wild plant species is vital to contribute to decisions for appropriate conservation strategies. This is especially true in areas which host a high species diversity, like European semi-natural grasslands. In fragmented habitats in particular, pollinator availability can be
I denna bok återpublicerar jag sex artiklar om den moderna skönlitterära svenska prosan. Två av artiklarna ger fördjupade analyser av Kerstin Ekmans romaninledningar i Urminnes tecken (2000) respektive Skraplotter (2003). En handlar om kvantitativ metod som redskap vid stilanalys. Övriga artiklar behandlar den skönlitterära prosan som språkligt material och tar upp tempusbruk, interpunktion och or
Emotional communication, especially through social media platforms, has become a contemporary populist threat. While this phenomenon has been studied in for example news media and social movements, we know less about its influence on civil society organizations, despite their pluralism being a centerpiece in a vibrant democracy. More specifically, we do not know if social media make civil society
Generating electricity from solar photovoltaics (PVs) has massive potential, but realising this potential will require a genuine understanding of transaction costs associated with the adopters' acquisition of the technology. The objective of this study is thus to empirically assess the transaction costs that solar PV adopters carry when proceeding with an acquisition process. Data on transaction c
This book emerged from an initiative to take the scholarly discussion on extraterritorial human rights a step further. The result is the first publication in the field that takes a point of departure in the standard legal building blocks of obligation, jurisdiction, causation, attribution and remedies, and it does so in the context of largely under-examined economic, social and cultural rights. Th
This chapter will explore how various forms of intelligence cooperation may constitute breaches of the substantive obligations of a state under international law (primary norms), and how both states – the one directly engaged in human rights violations and the other one providing some form of assistance through its intelligence agency – could be held to account by other states under international
Introduction The relationship between the right to freedom of expression and the prevention of terrorism is particularly fraught. On the one hand, in climates and contexts where there is a heightened risk of terrorist activities being perpetrated, States' authorities often argue that it is necessary to restrict freedom of expression. The reasons presented vary from the need to criminalize inciteme
Traditional characteristics of Nordic constitutionalism have been challenged increasingly, since the late 1980s, by tendencies toward rights-based constitutionalism. Reminiscent of several other theaters within the global constitutional arena, northern constitutionalism has also witnessed a clear shift from the legislative sovereignty paradigm to one in which legislative acts are increasingly subo
