  1. 11. The Money of Monarchs : The Importance of Non-Tax Revenue for Autocratic Rule in Early Modern Sweden

    Författare :Klas Nilsson; Statsvetenskapliga institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; revenue; autocracy; regime change; fiscal sociology; public finance; state-building; Sweden; Early Modern Europe; Rentier State; royal power; statsinkomster; statsstyre; politisk utveckling; Rentier State; Rentierism; skattesystem; tidigmodern statsbildning; Sverige; europeisk historia;

    Sammanfattning : According to a venerable argument about the formation of political regimes in historical Europe, taxation goes hand in hand with representation, as financial needs forced rulers to trade rights for revenue. In this dissertation I explore the reverse assumption, asking whether it is the case that non-taxation went hand in hand with non-representation? I argue that early modern rulers who had access to what I conceptualize as ‘proprietary revenue’—including profits from landownership, natural resource extraction, state-owned enterprise, and colonial plunder—could use such revenue to concentrate political authority in their own hands and rule as autocrats.

  3. 12. Graphic Representation and Visualisation as Modelling Support for the Knowledge Acquisition Process

    Författare :Anne Håkansson; Andreas Hamfelt; Harald Kjellin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datavetenskap; Artficial Intelligence; Knowledge-Based Systems; Knowledge Acquisition; Graphic Representation; Visualisation; Unified Modelling Language; Modelling Rule-based Systems; Visual programming; Declarative Programming; Information Networks; User-Centered Design; Knowledge Interface; Datavetenskap; Computer science; Datavetenskap; datalogi; Computer Science;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis describes steps taken towards using graphic representation and visual modelling support for the knowledge acquisition process in knowledge-based systems – a process commonly regarded as difficult. The performance of the systems depends on the quality of the embedded knowledge, which makes the knowledge acquisition phase particularly significant. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Multitemporal Spaceborne Polarimetric SAR Data for Urban Land Cover Mapping

    Författare :Xin Niu; Yifang Ban; Laurent Ferro-Famil; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; RADARSAT-2; Spaceborne; Polarimetric SAR; Urban Land cover; Object-based Rule-based Classification; Support Vector Machines; Contextual; Stochastic Expectation-Maximization; Markov Random Field.;

    Sammanfattning : Urban land cover mapping represents one of the most important remote sensing applications in the context of rapid global urbanization. In recent years, high resolution spaceborne Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) has been increasingly used for urban land cover/land-use mapping, since more information could be obtained in multiple polarizations and the collection of such data is less influenced by solar illumination and weather conditions.

  5. 14. Extracting Clinical Findings from Swedish Health Record Text

    Författare :Maria Skeppstedt; Hercules Dalianis; Gunnar Nilsson; Maria Kvist; Tapio Salakoski; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Named entity recognition; Corpora development; Clinical text processing; Distributional semantics; Random indexing; Vocabulary expansion; Assertion classification; Clinical text mining; Electronic health records; Swedish; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Information contained in the free text of health records is useful for the immediate care of patients as well as for medical knowledge creation. Advances in clinical language processing have made it possible to automatically extract this information, but most research has, until recently, been conducted on clinical text written in English.

  7. 15. Methods for Travel Pattern Analysis Using Large-Scale Passive Data

    Författare :Nils Breyer; Clas Rydergren; David Gundlegård; Yusak Susilo; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Comprehensive knowledge of travel patterns is crucial to enable planning for a more efficient traffic system that accommodates human mobility demand. Currently, this knowledge is mainly based on traffic models based on relatively small samples of observations collected from travel surveys and traffic counts. LÄS MER
