    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents three self-contained essays focusing on empirical questions in growth and development economics. Each article addresses specific questions on why countries perform differently. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Efficiency Enhancement Techniques for Free-Electron Lasers

    Författare :Alan Mak; Lunds universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; free-electron laser; accelerator physics; efficiency enhancement; undulator tapering; phase jump method; synchrotron radiation; Fysicumarkivet:2017:Mak;

    Sammanfattning : The central question addressed in this thesis is how to make the free-electron laser (FEL) more efficient. In recent years, coherent diffraction imaging provides an important motivation for efficiency enhancement. This is because a more efficient FEL process enables converting a larger fraction of the electron beam's power into optical power. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Exploring barriers to energy efficiency in supermarkets

    Författare :Ulla Lindberg; MariAnne Karlsson; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Nyckelord :retail; servicescape; foodscape; chilled groceries; energy efficiency; barriers; refrigerated display cabinets; consumer behaviors; consumer perceptions; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

    Sammanfattning : Energy efficiency activities in sections of grocery stores for chilled groceries are subject to particular challenges as this is a complex indoor environment given that the goal of store owners is to offer consumers chilled groceries of high quality in a comfortable environment while at the same time trying to reduce energy use. Consequently, it is important to maintain the right temperature in the right place and to be aware of the consumers’ shopping situation. LÄS MER

  5. 4. A data-driven decision support system for coherency of experts’ judgment in complex classification problems : The case of food security as a UN sustainable development goal

    Författare :Rueben Laryea; Kenneth Carling; Lena Nerhagen; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Coherence; Efficiency; Decision Support System; Multi-Criteria; Risk; Classification Model; Decision Makers; Judgment; Alternatives; Prediction; Data; Integrate; Imprecision; Food Security; UTADIS; Complex Systems – Microdata Analysis; Komplexa system - mikrodataanalys;

    Sammanfattning : Everyday humans need to make individual or collective decisions. Often the decisions aim at achieving multiple goals (thus involving multiple criteria) and rely on the decision maker(s)’ intuition, internal data, as well as external sources of data. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Planning and evaluation in aid organizations

    Författare :Kim Forss; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The success (or failure) of aid programmes in developing countries is difficult to measure in terms of results. In fact international cooperation in development programmes seems to have reached few of its objectives. LÄS MER
