The proposed adverse impact of income inequality on health has long been an important topic in health economics. A negative correlation between inequality and health has been found in several empirical studies but the issues regarding causality and causes are yet to be resolved. The widespread theory that the effects on health goes via disinvestment in social capital and trust is heavily researche
Biological tissues are strongly light-scattering and absorbing media that limit the depth of optical-based imaging. Even though, optical imaging provides good optical contrast information of biological content that is beneficial for clinical diagnostics application. Ultrasound was used to assist the optical-based imaging technique in overcoming the poor spatial resolution and shallow imaging depth

Background Transparency of a supply chain is the extent to which all its stakeholders have a shared understanding of, and access to, the product-related information that they request, without loss, noise, delay, and distortion. Having access to accurate and timely information is a challenging issue in global supply chains. Therefore, this research aimed at identifying barriers that could act as
Syftet med denna tvärsnittsstudie var att undersöka barns förståelse för empatiska reaktioners relationella innebörd och om denna skiljer sig beroende på ålder, samt undersöka om samband fanns mellan denna förmåga och förmåga till socialt perspektivtagande. Undersökningen jämförde barn i grundskolans årskurs 2 (n = 15, M = 8:7 år), årskurs 5 (n = 17, M = 11:8 år) och årskurs 8 (n = 13, M = 14:10 åThis cross-sectional study explored children’s understanding of empathic reactions relational meaning and if this understanding increases with age. It also explored an association between this ability and ability for social perspective taking. Comparisons were made between second graders (n = 15, M = 8:7 years), fifth graders (n = 17, M = 11:8 years) and eighth graders (n = 13, M = 14:10 years). T
Förbud mot karteller är likartade i de flesta länder. Om förbuden överträds är dock skillnaderna i de påföljder som kan utdömas, respektive i den eftergift som kan sökas och beviljas, värda att notera. Denna uppsats presenterar de påföljder för överträdelser av kartellförbud samt de eftergifter som erbjuds i EU, Storbritannien, Sverige och USA. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera vilka överväganWhile the cartel prohibition of most countries is quite similar, the differences in the sanctions imposed on cartel participants and the leniency available to such participants under national leniency programs are noteworthy.

This paper shows that the socio-technical barriers that sustainable innovations face, may stem from global regimes. Existing transitions approaches like the Technological Innovation System (TIS), overlook the impact of global regimes on radical innovation. Building on institutional theory, we therefore develop a theoretical framework that captures TIS-regime interaction, allowing us to analyze the

Domstolarna ställs ofta inför problematiken att värdera muntliga utsagor. Ibland är en utsaga den enda bevisningen i ett mål och det är ytterst viktigt att bevisvärderingen genomförs på ett grundligt sätt. Det finns inga lagregler som styr hur bevisvärderingen ska gå till. Trots principen om fri bevisprövning finns det dock krav på objektivitet och att värderingen sker utifrån allmänna erfarenhetsCriminal courts often face the complexity that follows the analysis of verbal statements. In some cases a statement constitute the only evidence and it is vital to carry out a thorough valuation of the evidence. Despite the lack of written law and the principle of free trial of evidence there is still a demand for objectivity and the use of general knowledge. The Supreme Court has written out that
