The objectives of this project were to estimate network-based crash prediction models that will predict the expected crash experience in any given geographic area as a function of the highway link, intersection and land use features observed in the area. The result is a system of GIS programs that permit a polygon to be drawn on a map, or a set of links and intersections to be selected, and then p

It is known that the overall charge of a protein can change as the molecule approaches a charged object like another protein or a cell membrane. We have formalized this mechanism using a statistical mechanical framework and show how this rather overlooked interaction increases the attraction between protein molecules. From the theory, we can identify a unique property, the protein charge capacitan

BACKGROUND: Women with intellectual disabilities face significant barriers to gynecological, reproductive, antenatal, and perinatal care, which may adversely impact maternal and fetal health. Previous research indicates increased risks for gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, caesarean birth, preterm birth, and other complications in pregnant women with intellectual disabilities. However, studies

Dopamine and serotonin are two major monoamine neurotransmitters associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), but their spatial distribution and relationship to underlying functional brain architecture are not fully understood. We assessed 30 patients with PD at baseline using structural MRI, resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI), 11C-PE2I and 11C-DASB PET, along with comprehensive clinical evaluati

Patents are among the most common proxies for innovation, and a long-standing discussion is therefore to what extent patents can be used to monitor trends in innovation activity. This study proposes a new straightforward approach to measure the amount and quality of information content of a data source, where information is approached as a transmission from a source to a receiver through a noisy c

This thesis aims to investigate the phenomenon of a paracrisis and the discourses constituting it to understand the stakeholder’s contribution to the paracrisis. The studied paracrisis unfolded in the comment section of the mexican beer brand Coronas Instagram during the global outbreak of the Covid-19 virus. The empirical material consists of comments that were analyzed with analytical and theore

Geografiska data är all data som är knutna till ett geografiskt läge och används inom många olika områden i samhället såsom all form av samhällsbyggnad och samhällsplanering, klimat och miljö, kultur och natur, krishantering samt transporter och logistik. För att geografiska data ska kunna användas över läns- och kommungränser samt i olika organisationer krävs ett enhetligt system och standarder fGeographic data are data that is linked to a geographic location and is used in many different areas of society, such as all types of community and community planning, climate and environment, culture and nature, crisis management, transport and logistics. In order for geographic data to be used across county and municipal boundaries as well as in different organisations, a uniform system and stan

Syftet med denna studie är att fokusera på hur inspiration kan ta sig uttryck i eget, musikaliskt övandeoch framträdande. Denna studie bygger huvudsakligen på intervjuer och syftar till att återspegla tre personers – som alla har olika musikaliska bakgrunder - tankar,insikter och erfarenheter av detta ämne. Tilläggsvis har jag strävat efter att ge läsaren ett omfattande bakgrunds- och teori kapite

This thesis consists of an introduction and four self-contained chapters that address issues of how organizations and institutions should be designed in order to provide adequate incentives and enable coordination. The first essay uses a multi-task principal-agent model to examine two reasons why coordination problems are common when public sector organizations share responsibilities: the incenti

Gradient based nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy provides a convenient method to determine self-diffusion coefficients especially in liquid samples. The method has many advantages including short experiment time, sensitivity, molecular resolution, and accuracy - all without the need for adding perturbing probes or chemically introducing isotopes. In this contribution we introduce the method

This is a thesis in the field of mechanism design theory, a field of economic theory closely related to game theory. Instead of determine equilibriums of various games as in game theory, mechanism design tries to design a mechanism with respect to a desirable outcome of the game induced by the mechanism. The thesis can be viewed as an introduction to mechanism design theory in general, via a particu

Frågan om rätt till heltid på arbetsmarknaden har länge varit omdebatterad. Kraven på rätt till heltid drivs såväl av de fackliga organisationerna som av politiker. Det kan vara svårt att försörja sig på ett deltidsarbete, och ur den aspekten har den deltidsanställde ett berättigat intresse av att kräva ett så högt arbetstidsmått som möjligt. Arbetsgivaren har å andra sidan ett intresse av att anp

Drowning is the second global leading cause of unintentional injury death for children ages 1 to 14 years, and the fifth leading cause for people of all ages (excluding flood disasters and water transport incidents). Why is the risk of drowning so high? It is important to investigate existing situation: what are the reasons that create a danger, is there a main risk group, how the risk of drownin
