    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this study is to contribute to better knowledge of the picture orthe notion of the child in modern Swedish state nursery school programmes,of its ”roots”, and of the tasks which have been allotted to psychology and theother social sciences in the designing of this child.The theoretical basis is drawn mainly from various works of the Frenchphilosopher Michel Foucault, especially concerning his thoughts on an”history of the present”.

    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bayesian statistics; Transportation networks; Spatiotemporal data; Machine learning; Bayesiansk statistik; Transportnätverk; Spatiotemporal data; Maskininlärning;

    Sammanfattning : Urbanization has caused a historical transformation at a global scale, and humanity is moving towards a fully connected society where cities will concentrate population, infrastructure and economic activity. A key element in the cities’ infrastructure is the transportation system, as it facilitates the mobility of people and goods. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Närheter och avstånd i ett nordvärmländskt skogslandskap : Praktiker och betydelser i nya tidsrumsliga sammanhang

  7. 25. Modelling Weather Dynamics for Weather Derivatives Pricing

    Författare :Emanuel Evarest Sinkwembe; Martin Singull; Xiangfeng Yang; Fredrik Berntsson; Erik Lindström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on developing an appropriate stochastic model for temperature dynamics as a means of pricing weather derivative contracts based on temperature. There are various methods for pricing weather derivatives ranging from simple one like historical burn analysis, which does not involve modeling the underlying weather variable to complex ones that require Monte Carlo simulations to achieve explicit weather derivatives contract prices, particularly the daily average temperature (DAT) dynamics models.
