  1. 11. Redistributive regionalism : Narratives on regionalisation in the Nordic periphery

    Författare :Lisa Hörnström; Anders Lidström; Marie-Louise von Bergmann-Winberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; regional governance; regional policy; new regionalism; peripheral regions; redistributive regionalism; Nordic regionalism; Political science; Statsvetenskap; statskunskap; political science;

    Sammanfattning : During the last decades a stronger role for the regions has developed in many West European countries. To a significant degree this regionalisation trend has coincided with European integration. The key change in the role of the regional level has been with regard to its status as an agent of regional development. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Arkitekten Hans Westman, funktionalismen och den regionala särarten

    Författare :Tomas Tägil; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Arkitektur; inredningsarkitektur; interior design; Architecture; Regional Characteristics; Critical Regionalism; Hans Westman; Skåne; Swedish Architecture; Building Tradition; Regionalism; Functionalism; Modern Architecture; 20th Century;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the regional aspects of Swedish modernism exemplified by the architecture of Hans Westman (1905-1991). The main purpose of the dissertation has been to make a survey of what is perceived as particularly regional in Westman's buildings and if we can really talk about modern regional architecture.

  4. 13. Climate change adaptation processes : Regional and sectoral stakeholder perspectives

    Författare :Karin André; Björn-Ola Linnér; Louise Simonsson; Anna Jonsson; Kate Lonsdale; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Adaptation processes; adaptive capacity; climate change; forestry; participatory methods; perceptions; private and public organizations; risks; roles; stakeholder dialogues; stakeholders; Sweden; transdisciplinarity; urban regions; Anpassningskapacitet; anpassningsprocesser; deltagandemetoder; intressenter; intressentdialoger; klimatförändringar; privata och offentliga organisationer; risker; roller; skogsbruk; Sverige; transdisciplinaritet; uppfattningar; urbana regioner;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis analyses how societal adaptation processes in public and private sectors at the regional to local level in Sweden are enacted. The thesis pays particular attention to critical factors that constrain or enable adaptation by focussing on: who are the stakeholders, how do different stakeholders perceive their capacity to adapt, and the role of stakeholder interaction in facilitating adaptation processes A combination of two analytical perspectives is used where one is based on key concepts within adaptation literature, and the other draws on boundary crossing and transdisciplinary knowledge production (stakeholders, adaptive capacity, and science-based stakeholder dialogues).

  5. 14. Wages, unemployment and regional differences : empirical studies of the Palestinian labor market

    Författare :Ted N. Aranki; Lars Hultkrantz; Aysit Tansel; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Palestinian labor force; closure policy; foreign workers; wage; employment; returns to schooling; omitted variable bias; measurement error; unemployment duration; Economics; Nationalekonomi; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four essays analyzing wages, unemployment and regional differences in the Palestinian labor market. Paper [I] investigates the effects of the Israeli closure policy on Palestinian wage earnings. Closure has a significant impact on the Palestinian labor force in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

  7. 15. Quasi-analytical Modelling and Optimisation Techniques for Transport Aircraft Design

    Författare :Askin T. Isikveren; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :aircraft; conceptual; design; specifications; atmosphere; geometry; weight; aerodyanmics; propulsion; operational performance; stability and control; constrained multi-objective optimisation; computer aided design; regional; business; high-transonic; ;

    Sammanfattning : The research work presented here focuses on the subject oftransport aircraft design at the pre-design or conceptuallevel. The primary topics addressed are: (1) generation of avast array of new quasi-analytical expressions to permit aconceptual treatment of commercial and business transportaircraft with adequate sensitivity for more advanced tradestudies; (2) review and adoption of a method to predictstability and control characteristics (using the Mitchellmethod); (3) a study of the relative merits between variousmethods in facilitating an expedient and robust constrainedmulti-objective optimisation result within the context oftraditional conceptual design problems (Genetic Algorithms andNelder-Mead Simplex search); (4) creation of a software packageas a new and unique conceptual tool that permits the generationof design proposals in an accurate yet expeditious manner; and,(5) practical demonstration of the new conceptual designsoftware package by undertaking some actual aircraft designproposals.
