This paper examines how Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) affects Economic Growth and Total Factor Productivity (TFP) for recipient countries in Latin America. The study investigates whether FDI generates positive spillover effects, leading to a higher increase in TFP than domestic investments.

Master project made at Lund Institute of Technology Department of Design Sciences, division of Industrial Design in cooperation with Basecamp Explorer. Basecamp Explorer wanted me to be involved in the development of the interior of the guest tents in their camp in Masai Mara, Kenya and the Pyrenees, France. Basecamp Explorer runs ecological tourism destinations on a handful of places in the world

As demand for fresh groundwater in the worldwide is increasing, delineation of groundwater spring potential zones become an increasingly important tool for implementing a successful groundwater determination, protection, and management programs. Therefore, the objective of current study is to evaluate the capability of three machine learning models such as boosted regression tree (BRT), classifica

The aim of this thesis was to study nurse assistants’ experience of palliative care and to investigate how an intervention with a focus on a palliative care approach in residential care facilities influenced the nurse assistants and their work situation. The thesis is based on two qualitative and two quantitative studies, focusing on nurse assistants working at residential care facilities for olde

This paper analyzes the multi-period base-stock problem where there is a financial risk associated with a stochastic demand. For the single-period problem, it is known that the optimal inventory policy can be obtained with the Black and Scholes option pricing formula. This paper pushes the analysis further by applying the options valuation framework to the multi-period problem and presenting an al

Yet protected area conservation is an inherently political process, and the goals are often not achieved. There are concerns about com

Popular Abstract in English Every year, Sweden produces 1.5 million tons of incineration residues from waste to energy plants. Among these residues bottom ash(BA) due to its large volume and good geotechnical quality can be reused as an alternative construction material. However there are some negative environmental impacts of this practice such as leaching of salts and metals to soils and groundwEvery year, Sweden produces 1.5 million tons of incineration residues from waste to energy plants.

Random graph theory is an important tool to study different problems arising from real world.In this thesis we study how to model connections between neurons (nodes) and synaptic connections (edges) in the brain using inhomogeneous random distance graph models. We presentfour models which have in common the characteristic of having a probability of connectionsbetween the nodes dependent on the dis
