16. What's in a name? : A study of sobriquets in the Pesharim
Sammanfattning : The present study addresses the problem of a simplistic historical interpretation of the sobriquetsin the pesharim. An alternative approach is advocated taking its beginning in perceiving themessage in the pesharim as primarily an ideological vindication of the Qumran community, theYahad. LÄS MER
17. Memory-based Lie Detection in Repeated Interviews: The Importance of Early Use of Mnemonics
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to examine how memory-enhancing (mnemonic) techniques used in an interview carried out immediately after an event affected truth tellers’ and liars’ responses in both an immediate interview and in a delayed interview. In Studies I-III participants took part in a mock intelligence scenario in which they were asked to take the role of an intelligence officer. LÄS MER
18. Hips don't lie : the use of benchmarking and register data to assess the performance of orthopaedic care
Sammanfattning : Background: Today’s healthcare systems face challenges involving rising need and demand for healthcare as well as concerns about cost containment, misuse of medical services and unwarranted variations in medical practices. Given the stretched budgets for healthcare, there is a need to improve healthcare performance and to make competent use of limited resources. LÄS MER
19. Studies on boundary values of eigenfunctions on spaces of constant negative curvature
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of two papers on the spectral geometry of locally symmetric spaces of Riemannian and Lorentzian signature. Both works are concerned with the idea of relating analysis on such spaces to structures on their boundaries.The first paper is motivated by a conjecture of Patterson on the Selberg zeta function of Kleinian groups.

20. A Categorical Study of Composition Algebras via Group Actions and Triality
Sammanfattning : A composition algebra is a non-zero algebra endowed with a strictly non-degenerate, multiplicative quadratic form. Finite-dimensional composition algebras exist only in dimension 1, 2, 4 and 8 and are in general not associative or unital. Over the real numbers, such algebras are division algebras if and only if they are absolute valued, i.e. LÄS MER
