Disease susceptibility mapping can produce risk maps showing predictive distribution of disease incidences. Hence, it is a useful tool for disease prevention. Data-driven approaches for disease susceptibility mapping model relationships and patterns from experience data. Therefore, using data-driven methods can facilitate a simple and direct approach towards disease susceptibility mapping. In th
Denna rapport beskriver arbetet med att ta fram en landseglare i samarbete med konsultföretaget Semcon. Företaget vill kunna använda produkten på mässor och events, därför ska produkten ska utstråla Semcons värdeord, vilka är ”Responsibility, Credibility, Excellence”. Målet med arbetet är att skapa en landseglare som är mera portabel och enklare att montera jämfört med befintliga på marknaden, menThis report describes the development of a land sailer together with the consulting company Semcon.

I Sveriges storstäder råder idag stor bostadsbrist och byggandet av bostäder räcker inte till. Ett steg i arbetet med att möta det stora behovet av bostäder är att genomföra förtätningar. Lagar och regler har dock problematiserat och förhindrat många planerade förtätningsprojekt, vilket avsevärt försvårat arbetet med att bygga bort bostadsbristen. Ett av regelverken som utgör hinder mot förtätningA great shortage of housing is currently apparent in Sweden's major cities. To meet this need for housing, densification strategies are implemented. However, laws and regulations have complicated and prevented many planned densification projects, making the issue with housing shortage more difficult to address. One of the regulations that preclude densification of housing is the regulatory sys
The literature claims that elderly people need warmer indoor temperatures, short overheating periods and more light indoors. The thesis analysed a case study building in order to propose a solution of the façade design in the energy-efficient apartments for elderly people. Due to the simplified approach to the analysis, only specific apartments were chosen and optimized parts of design were shape
The Hanson Larson evolution model assumes that wave height grows or decays from an initial condition towards an equilibrium wave height through a simple exponential growth. The model uses wind input data, fetch length and depth measurements. Using this input parameters, it both determines the wave height and period values, thus predicts wave climate. The model is developed using deep water conditi

Drawing on a range of previously unused data to construct a data series of practically every strike in the US automotive industry from 1946-2002, this paper examines the changing relationship between strikes and wage determination in the post-war period. Drawing on the historical concept of the ‘labour-capital accord’ this study undertakes analysis on two sub-periods, 1946-1981 and 1982-2002. Thro
Greater capital mobility and financial integration have generated greater tax avoidance and international tax competition. This has modified negatively the tax systems of countries that keep taxing corporate profits: the system is now more inefficient, might be more regressive and tax authorities have less sovereignty. This is especially relevant for developing economies, since corporate tax reven
