Using a novel methodological approach to measure emotions in Facebook comments, this Work in Progress (WIP) paper explores the relationship between negative feelings and ideological cross-posting behavior. Using the VoxPopuli data harvester, we collect over 770,000 public Facebook comments1 from the three major political campaign pages active during the Brexit referendum. After sorting users into
Identification of cancer pathways is the central goal in the cancer gene expression data analysis. A cellular automaton is a dynamic system with cells, which are uniform, interconnected and discrete in nature. Cellular automata are well-known methods to predict network traffics in cellular spaces. Therefore, to predict cancer pathways involved, we propose a 2-dimensional cellular automata approach
Smart cities and 3D printing technologies are attracting unprecedented attention with signs that they will be key drivers of societal and economic change. Yet, the connection in how 3D printing can enhance smart cities remains understudied. To this end, this paper argues that 3D printing has widespread applications across higher education and smart city settings through the opening and democratizi
A new numerical model of regional sediment transport and barrier elongation, supplied by sediment coming from longshore sediment transport (LST), was developed. The spit growth and barrier elongation model was based on the model proposed by Kraus (1999). The LST rate used as input for the spit growth and barrier elongation model was simulated by the one-line model of shoreline change (Hanson, 1987
University incubators are an opportunity to promote the dissemination of research, change teaching practices and contribute to territorial economic development. In this article we present a structural and dynamic analysis of such an innovation system of a Swedish eco-innovation system by proposing elements for analysing the success of such innovation systems.
We demonstrate the manipulation of single-walled carbon nanotube/liquid crystal composites using in-plane electric fields. The conductivity of the materials is shown to be dependant on the application of a DC bias across the electrodes. When the materials are subjected to this in-plane field, it is suggested that the liquid crystals orientate, thereby forcing the SWCNTs to follow in alignment. Thi
We consider the COST259 directional channel model (DCM) in relation to other existing channel models. The COST259 DCM is a general model for the mobile radio channel that includes narrowband power (field strength), power delay profiles, and directions of arrival. For comparison purposes, it is desirable that the channel models forming the basis of earlier simulations are contained as special cases
Large-scale land acquisitions are a critical driver of global socio-environmental change, in particular in the Global South. This study aims to investigate drivers, impacts and feedbacks of environmental change in Kilombero Valley, Tanzania, a region in rapid societal and environmental transformation. We use land cover classifications to map and quantify land cover changes from 1990 to 2016, and c
This work treats the estimation of the chromagram for harmonic audio signals using a block sparse reconstruction framework. Chroma has been used for decades as a key tool in audio analysis, and is typically formed using a Fourier-based framework that maps the fundamental frequency of a musical tone to its corresponding chroma. Such an approach often leads to problems with tone ambiguity, which we
The Arctic land area has warmed by > 1 A degrees C in the last 30 years and there is evidence that this has led to increased productivity and stature of tundra vegetation and reduced albedo, effecting a positive (amplifying) feedback to climate warming. We applied an individual-based dynamic vegetation model over the Arctic forced by observed climate and atmospheric CO2 for 1980-2006. Averaged ove
Using a new concept—the law of the limit to land productivity—this article builds a three (physical, economic, and institutional) worlds’ land-use model with inverse logics of different development stages in a time perspective: before, in, and after the population trap. This model extends the span of the Malthusian population model to history after the Industrial Revolution and makes static proper
Title: Open Innovation: An offer Some Can't Refuse. A comparative case study on the strategic implications of being bound to openness Seminar date: 2016-06-03 Course: FEKH19 Degree project, Undergraduate level in Strategic Management, Business Administration, 15 University Credit Points (ECTS) Authors: Björn Arvesen, Jakob Matto, Jacob von Segebaden Advisor: Anna Brattström Key words: Open inn
Offentlig upphandling är ett område som omsätter väldigt stora belopp, år 2012 uppgick denna summa till 635 miljarder vilket är knappt en 1/5 av Sveriges BNP. EU har på europeisk nivå lyft fram offentlig upphandling som ett sätt att nå samhälleliga mål, i EU-kommissionens 2020 strategi tas offentlig upphandling upp som ett sätt att nå den hållbara tillväxt som kommissionen vill åstadkomma. För attPublic procurement is a sector that turns over huge amounts of money. In 2012 this sector was valued at 625 billion SEK in Sweden. At EU level the scale of public procurement has been noticed by the EU-commission as something that can be used to create a more sustainable Europe. To achieve this EU wants to increase the possibilities for the member states to use environmentally adapted public procu
En fastighetsaffär är för de allra flesta en stor affär, kanske den allra största man gör i sitt liv, och konsekvenserna kan därför också bli stora, både för köpare och säljare. En av frågeställningarna vid ett köp är ansvarsfördelningen mellan köpare och säljare och det finns många rättsfall genom åren där köparens undersökningsplikt vid köp av fast egendom prövas i svenska domstolar. Enligt JordA property transaction is for most people an important deal, and the impact can therefore also be great, both for buyers and sellers. One of the issues of a purchase is the division of responsibilities for errors between the buyer and the seller, and there are many court cases over the years where the buyer's duty to investigate the purchase of property is tried in Swedish courts. According to
Syftet med denna undersökning är att undervisa i musik och ensemblespel på en anstalt och studera vilka effekter undervisningen har på internernas aggressiva beteende och destruktiva tänkande. Aktionsforskningen baseras på teorin om att ensemblespel även är en utmanande och effektiv gruppsykologisk övning. Situationen tvingar dig att ta ansvar för din uppgift i gruppen i realtid. Den negativa, kol
Today we live in an interconnected world. Through globalization and the development of information technology one can say that, today everyone is our neighbour. The result of our actions can easily spread and affect people on the other side of the world within seconds. Meanwhile, Third World countries are developing into stable economies and Western European corporations are expanding like never
BACKGROUND Tannins can bind to and precipitate protein by forming insoluble complexes resistant to fermentation and with a positive effect on protein utilisation by ruminants. Three protein types, Rubisco, rapeseed protein and bovine serum albumin (a single high-molecular weight protein), were used to test the effects of increasing concentrations of structurally different condensed tannins on prot
In this paper we present one approach to understand palpability from the perspective of eco-systems of palpable devices. We will introduce the notion of Palpable Interaction Ecology that particular focus upon the properties that emerge from the interaction between people, their practices and palpable devices. This approach is derived from research into the use of pervasive healthcare services that
