1. 1. Flipping the pyramid : lessons from converting top-down management of bleak-roe fishing

   Författare :Carl Rova; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Political Science; Statsvetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : The fishing of vendace (Coregonus albula), in the northern part of the Gulf of Bothnia, is a good illustration of the presumption that institutional arrangements which are too inflexible to cope with changing ecological conditions are unlikely to prosper. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the development of a better understanding of governance in a relatively small and clearly defined, but complex common-pool resource system. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : The middle management position in the care of the elderly is the focus of this licentiate dissertation. The aim was to develop knowledge about the constraints within which the middle manager is able to act and which freedom of action he/she has. LÄS MER

4. 3. The Perception and Evaluation of Pleasant Touch and the Development of "Satiety" for Hedonic Tactile Experiences

   Författare :Chantal Triscoli; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Pleasant touch; CT afferents; Top-down mechanisms; Satiety; Liking; Wanting;

   Sammanfattning : Pleasant touch is a hedonic experience and one of the most powerful means for social bonding and for communicating affection. Touch similar to a human caress is detected by the “C tactile (CT) afferents”, a class of mechanoreceptors which respond preferentially to stroking velocities between 1 and 10 cm/s. LÄS MER

5. 4. Development of a Morphology-based Analysis Framework for Asphalt Pavements

   Författare :Ibrahim Onifade; Björn Birgisson; Nicole Kringos; Denis Jelagin; William G. Buttlar; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Morphology; damage; X-ray computed tomography; top-down cracking; fracture; Morfologi; skador; röntgendatortomografi; ’top-down’sprickbildning; fraktur; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : The morphology of asphalt mixtures plays a vital role in their properties and behaviour. The work in this thesis is aimed at developing a fundamental understanding of the effect of the asphalt morphology on the strength properties and deformation mechanisms for development of morphology-based analysis framework for long-term response prediction.

7. 5. Neural circuitry mechanisms in decision-making

   Författare :Xinming Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The brain is the exclusive organ that makes decisions for humans and the society. In this thesis, I will discuss recent advances in the understanding of neuroscientific mechanisms in decision-making. Decision-making is not a new topic in the human history, but it has existed for thousands of years. LÄS MER
