Despite the rapidly expanding literature on agency in regional development, the methodological approaches available to study it have not followed theoretical development and empirical studies. This article aims to shed light on methodological issues related to the study of path dependence, path creation and agency. The article’s main purpose is to construct a methodology - path tracing - that woul
Context. OH/IR stars are examples of late stellar evolution on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB), and they are, as such, important objects to study. They are also excellent probes of stellar populations, in particular in regions of high interstellar extinction such as the central regions of our Galaxy. Aims. Our goal is to characterise the stellar and circumstellar properties of high-mass-loss-rat
Introduction: While it is recognized that there are costs associated with postoperative patient follow-up, risk assessments of catastrophic health expenditures (CHEs) due to surgery in sub-Saharan Africa rarely include expenses after discharge. We describe patient-level costs for cesarean section (c-section) and follow-up care up to postoperative day (POD) 30 and evaluate the contribution of follo
Construction using timber has seen a resurgence in light of global climate mitigation policies. Wood is a renewable resource, and engineered wood products are proving to be competitive against concrete and steel while having several advantages. However, while the renewable nature of wood in construction is a beneficial property for climate mitigation policies, the process of biodegradation introdu
During the last few years Europe has made enormous progress towards free electron laser (FEL)-based research infrastructures. The FLASH facility [1] at DESY in Hamburg, Germany, has been in user operation since the summer of 2005; FERMI@Elettra [2] in Trieste, Italy, is under construction; the European XFEL [3] in Hamburg will start construction in summer 2008; and several other FEL projects are b
This article is based on two telematic theatre productions to better understand thepossibilities of the digital medium as well as the artistic challenges it brings. When producing the performances, the technology was very much in focus: how to act in front of the camera, how to relate to each other remotely and how the audience would watch the finished result became artistic problems that needed t
In order to create non-commercial places in the central city of Gothenburg, locating municipal services on ground floor level has been introduced as a part of the social sustainability dimension. The purpose is to create a vivid community and an including society within the urban development project Masthuggskajen. There is however a limited number of previous research conducted on how proceed wit
This thesis is a critical reflection on the metanarratives that are often employed to describe ‘Nordic exceptionality’. In particular, this thesis will look into the anniversary project of ‘Finland100’ as an example of these narratives and approach it as a political project that promises belonging. Narratives surrounding the anniversary will be discussed through a deconstructive narrative reading,
Idag har vi tillgång till fler informationskällor än någonsin tidigare. Dessa källor ger olika versioner av hur verkligheten ser ut och vad som är sant eller falskt. I februari 2017 uttalade sig USA:s president Donald Trump om Sverige och det svenska flyktingmottagandet vilket ledde till global uppmärksamhet kring situat- ionen i Sverige. I den här kandidatuppsatsen studeras vilka bilder som kommuToday, we have access to more information sources than ever before. These sources give different versions of reality and of what is true or false. In February 2017, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, made a statement about Sweden and the Swedish reception of refugees, which led to global attention about the situation in Sweden. This bachelor thesis examines which images that are bei
Uppsatsen behandlar lagen (2017:310) om framtidsfullmakter, dess bakgrund, innehåll och verkningar. Institutet framtidsfullmakt är tänkt att stärka den enskildes möjligheter att styra över sin framtid i fall av försämrad mental kapacitet. Upprättandet av en framtidsfullmakt ska ske då den enskilde har beslutskompetens men träder i kraft först efter att denna kapacitet har gått förlorad till följd This thesis revolves around the law (2017: 310) on continuing powers of attorney; its background, content and effects. The continuing power of attorney is intended to strengthen an individual's ability to control their future in cases of impaired mental capacity. In order to establish a continuing power of attorney, the individual must hold a decision-making competence. However, the act only c
This study aimed to examine and analyze how social workers perceive the new Social Service Act and its ambition to reduce individual needs evaluations. The new Social Service Act also includes increased access to receive social support without social workers’ decision-making. The study aims to generate an understanding of social workers' experiences regarding their professional practice relate
This essay aims to analyze the depiction of an ideal soldier in order to research whether these depictions perpetuate values and ideals found in the theoretical framework of militarized masculinity and the logic of masculinist protection. The selected material consists of official documents from both the Swedish Armed Forces as well as the United States Armed Forces, which will be analyzed through
Upper-intercept U-Pb ages (TIMS) of two non-foliated I-type granites are 1887 ± 20 Ma (part of a granodiorite-granite sequence) and 1881 ± 2 Ma (leucogranite with transitions into pegmatite). A non-foliated S-granite, which according to field observations, is younger than the two I-granites, occurs within the same composite pluton. Zircons of this granite are heterogeneous and contain abundant cor
The building permit is usually the final decision of urban governance for public authorities, whereby the private actor is given the right to construct at the urban plot. But in urban areas there is an urban context, which calls the attention to the need of a planning perspective of the assembled built environment. Detailed plans are required, and they ought to be considered in a total urban or mu
While many industrial processes have been thoroughly exposed to machine learning models, the realm of powder metallurgy is still underexplored. This thesis aims to investigate the potential for a machine learning model to predict the characteristics of metal powders after a reduction annealing process using time series process data from the furnace. A supervised learning model was developed to pre
