The Netherlands is a small country with a relatively large population which experienced a rapid rate of land use changes from 2000 to 2008 years due to the industrialization and population increase. Land use change is especially related to the urban expansion and open agriculture reduction due to the enhanced economic growth. This research reports an investigation into the application of remote se
Many studies have found close relationships between accessibility and various socio-economic indicators. Yet, since accessibility tends to have differentiated effects, both socially and spatially, there is a need for a model which allows for a disaggregated analysis of accessibility. The model should be possible to use in areas where road network data is incomplete. In this paper such an accessibi
I denna uppsats undersöks svensk rätts förståelse av prostitution och surrogatmödraskap ur ett radikalfeministiskt perspektiv. Mot bakgrund av den radikalfeministiska utgångspunkten att prostitution och surrogatmödraskap är jämförbara med varandra, granskar uppsatsen hur en radikalfeministisk diskurs tar sig uttryck i SOU 1995:15 och SOU 2016:11. Genom viss rättsdogmatik, men framför allt genom atThis essay examines the understanding of prostitution and surrogacy within Swedish law, from a radical feminist perspective. Given the radical feminist standpoint that prostitution and surrogacy are phenomena comparable with each other, the essay analyzes how a radical feminist discourse is conveyed within two official reports of the Swedish government: SOU 1995:15 and SOU 2016:11. By not primaril
To find approximate solutions to initial value problems (IVPs) one can use a wide range of numerical methods. A special group of IVPs referred to as stiff, can be numerically solved by a chain of methods, beginning with an implicit method then Newton's method and last, General minimal residual (GMRES). For GMRES to be more time-efficient, we need to apply a preconditioner to the system of equa
Uppsatsen har granskat svenska myndigheters möjligheter att omedelbart tvångsomhänderta barn med hjälp av LVU. Detta har undersökts i relation till barn som har och inte har sin hemvist i Sverige samt i relation till barn vars hemvist inte kan fastställas. Både Bryssel II-förordningen och LVU har an-vänts för att redovisa gällande regler kring fastställande av barnets hemvist samt förutsättningar The aim of this thesis is to investigate the Swedish regulations regarding immediate care taking of children, especially regarding children whose place of residence is in another EU-country. The Brussels II regulation ap- plies to decisions to take into care and place a child. Article 8 Brussels II regulation states that the courts of a Member State are to have jurisdiction in matters of parental
This study explores the application of spatial modelling techniques to generate susceptibility maps for a neglected zoonotic disease, visceral leishmaniasis (VL), in an endemic area in southern Caucasus that includes Iran, Armenia and Azerbaijan. The social and physical environment of southern Caucasus has been mainly characterized by the presence of several factors that are strongly associated wi

The study is based on the undercover police officers behavi
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to estimate different industries’ default rate correlation over time. The intention is to observe if banks have any diversification opportunities in their corporate loan portfolio and to what extent this may disappear in stressful economic situations. Methodology: In this paper, the dynamic conditional correlation model is applied to analyze the default corr
Cellulose can be dissolved in concentrated acidic aqueous solvents forming extremely viscous solutions, and, in some cases, liquid crystalline phases. In this work, the concentrated phosphoric acid aqueous solvent is revisited implementing a set of advanced techniques, such as cryo-transmission electronic microscopy (cryo-TEM), polarization transfer solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (PTssNMR)
This paper reports on Monte Carlo simulation results for future measurements of the moduli of time-like proton electromagnetic form factors, | GE| and | GM| , using the p¯ p→ μ+μ- reaction at P ¯ ANDA (FAIR). The electromagnetic form factors are fundamental quantities parameterizing the electric and magnetic structure of hadrons. This work estimates the statistical and total accuracy with which th
This report presents showcases of active teaching and learning in spatial data infrastructure education in the SPIDER partner universities. It includes detailed descriptions of the practices that have been implemented, as well as the results of the evaluation of the practices from an active teaching learning perspective.
This report looks at different methods of active teaching and learning and the application of these methods at the partner universities of the SPIDER project. Different methods of on-campus and online teaching are presented and reports on experiences in their application at the partner universities are discussed. In combination with the results from Intellectual Output (IO) 4, this results in best
In recent years, shared freight systems have emerged in many cities as a new modality of freight transportation. However, little attention has been paid to the impact of a city's socioeconomic status on the characteristics of a shared freight network. To fill this gap, in this study, the structural characteristics of an intra-urban shared freight network are measured from the perspective of comple
We consider a multiqubit system of atoms or ions with two computational ground states and an interacting excited state in the so-called blockade regime, such that only one qubit can be excited at any one time. Examples of such systems are rare-earth-ion-doped crystals and neutral atoms trapped in tweezer arrays. We present a simple laser excitation protocol that yields a complex phase factor on an
In recent years, shared micro-mobility services (e.g., bikes, e-bikes, and e-scooters) have been popularized at a rapid pace worldwide, which provide more choices for people’s short and medium-distance travel. Accurately modeling the choice of these shared micro-mobility services is important for their regulation and management. However, little attention has been paid to modeling their choice, esp
Two electrotechnologies: pulsed electric fields (PEF) and moderate electric field (MEF) in combination with vacuum impregnation of glycerol as cryoprotectant were used to increase the freezing tolerance of rocket leaves. Rocket leaves were treated with PEF using a nominal field strength of 1200 V/cm or MEF at different combinations of voltage and frequency. Leaves were then immersed in a glycerol
Shared electric scooters (e-scooters) have been rapidly growing in popularity across Europe over the past three years, which can bring various environmental and socioeconomic benefits. However, how to further improve the usage efficiency of shared e-scooters is still a major concern for micro-mobility operators and city planners. This paper proposes a machine learning based approach to predict the
