  1. 1. Democracy and the Common Good : A Study of the Weighted Majority Rule

    Författare :Katharina Berndt Rasmussen; Gustaf Arrhenius; Folke Tersman; Luc Bovens; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Weighted majority rule; common good; collective optimality; well-being; welfare; self-interest; stakes; proportionality; democracy; preference aggregation; Condorcet jury theorem; strategic voting; praktisk filosofi; Practical Philosophy;

    Sammanfattning : In this study I analyse the performance of a democratic decision-making rule: the weighted majority rule. It assigns to each voter a number of votes that is proportional to her stakes in the decision. LÄS MER

  3. 2. On Aggregation and Dynamics of Opinions in Complex Networks

    Författare :Olle Abrahamsson; Erik G. Larsson; Danyo Danev; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis studies two problems defined on complex networks, of which the first explores a conceivable extension of structural balance theory and the other concerns convergence issues in opinion dynamics. In the first half of the thesis we discuss possible definitions of structural balance conditions in a network with preference orderings as node attributes.

  4. 3. Integrating multiple criteria decision analysis into participatory forest planning

    Författare :Eva-Maria Nordström; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Following the development of sustainable forest management, the focus of forest planning has shifted from being exclusively concerned with timber production to encompassing other benefits of forests as well, e.g. biodiversity and recreation. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Synthesis, conformational analysis, and biological evaluation of peptides from E. coli P pilus proteins

    Författare :Katarina Flemmer Karlsson; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NMR spectroscopy; CD spectroscopy; peptide structure; ELISA; solid-phase peptide synthesis; peptide; P pili; chaperone; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Many bacteria utilize hairlike protein appendages (pili) to attach themselves to mucosal cell surfaces in the host organism. The pilus is assembled from protein subunits synthesized inside the bacteria and transported to the outer cell wall for incorporation into the growing pilus. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Investigating structural changes of cellulose using NMR spectroscopy

    Författare :Alexander Idström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; crystallinity index; NCC; ionic liquids; CP MAS 13C-NMR; hornification; native cellulose; regenerated cellulose; NMR cryoporometry; pulp; Solid-state NMR;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis solid-state NMR and NMR cryoporometry were used to gain information of the structure of cellulose. Measurements were conducted on both native and regenerated cellulose, exposed to a range of different treatments. LÄS MER
