This paper uses a recently developed methodology to investigate the spatial and temporal diffusion patterns of a shock to the regional house markets in Sweden. We model the change in regional house prices such that they are allowed to be contemporaneously affected by price changes in the dominant region – Stockholm - as well as being allowed to be subject to a cointegrated relationship with its ne

The description of the drug user and drug abuse varies and has changed over time. The aim of this study is to put a social constructionist approach to examine the social construction of drug abuse and drug users within selected parts of a specific Swedish public inquiry (SOU 2011:35). I have analyzed my material by dividing it into categories using a qualitative method for analyzing the content of

The aim of the thesis is to provide a solution for a new dome camera housing that fits Axis' P33 camera model so that it can be placed on ships. Extensive research is done into the maritime environment, corrosion, surface treatments and the state of Axis' current cameras. Detailed analysis is done regarding aluminum, stainless steel and plastics and their respective manufacturing methods.

The purpose of this study is to compare different schemes of anti-windup. The methods are compared for different processes and different disturbances; step response in setpoint, and load and measurement noise. The controller parameters are determined by the MIGO method and the reset time constant. The tests have been done by simulation in Matlab Simulink and the report is divided for PI and PID co

A bioassay screening against protozoa parasites of several Tacana medicinal plants gave Hyptis brevipes (Id'ene eidhue), traditionally used as decoction for intestinal parasites, as the most active extract. In this work we did a bioguided isolation of active constituents found in leaves. Structure elucidation was carried out by NMR spectroscopy and MS spectrometry analyses. Active constituents sho

In this paper we develop a number of generic techniques and algorithms in spectral analysis of large linear approximations for use in cryptanalysis. We apply the developed tools for cryptanalysis of ZUC-256 and give a distinguishing attack with complexity around 2236 . Although the attack is only 220 times faster than exhaustive key search, the result indicates that ZUC-256 does not provide a sour

Among the major IT security challenges facing organizations is non-malicious employee behavior that nevertheless poses significant threats to an organization's IT security. Using a grounded theory methodology, this paper finds that organizational security behaviors are inherently related to employee assumptions regarding the importance of IT security policy compliance and regarding the reason why

This chapter briefly reviews how bibliometric indicators are used for allocating resources in academia. How these measures can be understood in relation to different evaluation systems is discussed, and various types of applications - including individual level use - are outlined. Furthermore, attention is given to the effect of evaluation in terms of incentives and possible adverse effects. The i

This paper presents an investigation of rational agents that have limited computational resources and that can interact with their environments. We analyse how such agents can combine deductive reasoning using domain knowledge and inductive learning from past experiences, while remaining time-aware in a manner appropriate for beings situated in a dynamic universe. In particular, we consider how th
