The SLEUTH urban model is developed with sets of predefined growing rules involving Spontaneous Growth, New Spreading Center Growth, Edge Growth, Road Influenced Growth and Self-modification. They are applied continuously to lead the urban simulation to a specific morphology. A SLEUTH land use model was set up to simulate urban growth trajectory of Dongguan city from 1997 to 2009. The accuracy of
Comprehending the East Asian Miracle has been a subject of heated major debate topic in development economics. And Korea was recognized as having one of the most pro-active state interventions in industrial policy and the debate on the performance of industrial policy has not been settled yet.

I det reviderade ramverket har vi lyckats identifiera de olika prissättningsstrategiernas påverkan i de olika marknadsfaserna. Vi kan se att aktörernas sätt att använda prissättningsstrategier görs genom att undergräva konkurrenternas pris. Vi kan inte dra någon generell slutsats till vilken grad varje specifik prissättningsstrategier har använts eller i vilken grad de specifika strategierna har p
The purpose of the thesis work is to analyze the possibility to integrate a sit-to-stand functionality into the HOBBIT service robot for elderly people while keeping the stability of the robot. A prototype with a knee support and a handle was used in combination with a motion capture system to capture joints angles and forces during the sit-to-stand movement. A skeletal model was created using the
Background: Maternal mortality is still a key issue in public health. Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is one of the main direct causes of maternal mortality in many countries around the world, including Kyrgyzstan where approximately half of all maternal deaths are due to this complication.

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) mass yields were tested for six combinations of two anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (AVOC); m-xylene & toluene, and three biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC); α-pinene, myrcene & isoprene. The purpose was to investigate any non-additive results in SOA formation from mixtures of AVOCs and BVOCs by comparing experimental yield with correspondin
En studie av binaritets- och språkkritik i Nikanor Teratologens två första romaner. Med utgångspunkt i framförallt groteskteori undersöks hur binariteter brukas och destabiliseras i romanerna, samt hur detta går att relatera till litterär och idéhistorisk kontext: introduktionen av dekonstruktion och poststrukturalism i svensk litterär offentlighet under 1980-talet. Stort fokus läggs på verkens de
The metal cluster [H4Os4(CO)12] was treated with various chiral ferrocenyl diphosphines of the Walphos family. The new compounds; [H4Os4(CO)10{μ -1,2-W001}], [H4Os4(CO)10{μ -1,2-W002}], [H4Os4(CO)10{μ -1,2-W003}] and [H4Os4(CO)10{μ -1,2-W005}] were characterized, and [H4Os4(CO)10{μ -1,2-W001}] was investigated in its enantioselective catalytic properties in the hydrogenation of tiglic acid. It was
The goal was to investigate the possibility of designing a piece of furniture with a high initial- and long-term value to increase the probability of it being kept for generations. The methods to find out were: qualitative empirical studies, analysing second-hand shops and antique-shops, and literature studies. The research suggests that emotional value and the story around the object is of high i
Syfte: Då ingen distinktion hittills har gjorts mellan reella upplevelser och virtuella upplevelser i upplevelseekonomin vill författarna ge förståelse och bidra med ny teori kring virtuella upplevelser utifrån ett upplevelseekonomiskt synsätt. Metod: Uppsatsen presenterar en tvärsnittsstudie som baseras på en mindre undersökning utifrån ett kvalitativt perspektiv. Datainsamlingen består av obsePurpose: As of yet no distinction has been made between real experiences and virtual ones in the experience economy. Because of this the authors want to give insight and contribute with new theory on virtual experiences from an experiential economic perspective. Methodology: In the paper a cross-sectional study is presented which is based on research from a qualitative viewpoint. The research is

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om det är möjligt att generera överavkastning genom att imitera insynspersoners aktiehandel. En eventstudie utförs med deduktiv och kvantitativ metod. Marknadsmodellen används för att beräkna den förväntade avkastningen. Separation görs mellan enskilda insynspersoners transaktioner och tre eller fleras. Två statistiska utförs för att avgöra om resultThe purpose of this thesis is to determine to what extent, if any, outsiders are able to obtain abnormal returns by imitating insiders´ transactions. An event study is implemented with a deductive and quantitative method. The market model is used to estimate the expected return. A separation is made between individual insiders´ transactions and transactions performed by three or more insider
