11. Functionalized Biomaterial Surfaces by Micro- and Nanofabrication
Sammanfattning : In the field of biomaterials, well-defined nano- and micropatterns or features at material surfaces can serve both as models for investigating material-biosystem interactions and as functional features for inducing, hindering or measuring specific bioreactions or biologic responses. Important bioreactions include protein adsorption and conformation, cell attachment and function, and adhesion and function of organized tissues or whole organisms. LÄS MER
12. The United Nations Reformed : Responsibility, Protection and the Standing of States
Sammanfattning : This study is about reform of the United Nations. The study does not address reform proposals that set out to change the organizational structure of the UN, but focuses on initiatives that affect the normative basis of the international society that the United Nations and the UN Charter enable and sustain.

13. Multidimensional Ultrasonic Standing Wave Manipulation in Microfluidic Chips
Sammanfattning : The use of ultrasonic standing waves for contactless manipulation of microparticles in microfluidic systems is a field with potential to become a new standard tool in lab-on-chip systems. Compared to other contactless manipulation methods ultrasonic standing wave manipulation shows promises of gentle cell handling, low cost, and precise temperature control. LÄS MER
14. Experimental Studies on Risk, Inequality and Relative Standing
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four separate experimental studies that concern individuals' preferences and choices on issues of risk, inequality and relative standing. In the first paper, individuals' aversion to risk and inequality, and their concern for relative standing, are measured through experimental choices between hypothetical societies. LÄS MER
15. Aspects of Blame : In which the nature of blame, blameworthiness, standing to blame and proportional blame are discussed
Sammanfattning : This thesis discusses what blame is, what it is for an agent to be blameworthy for having performed a certain act or omission, what makes an agent blameworthy for having performed a certain act or omission, whether the idea of standing to blame generalises to blame understood as something privately held, and what it is for blame to be proportionate. It provides original answers to these questions that move the current discussion of blame forward. LÄS MER
