Runge–Kutta methods can be used for solving ordinary differential equations of the form y0 = f(t, y) with initial condition y(t0) = y0 and where f : R x R^m -> R^m. The idea is to find a method that is efficient to implement. But it is also important for the method to be of high order and be stable. Diagonally Implicit RK-methods reduces an sm x sm matrix to s systems of m x m linear equations. Si
Bristen på hyreslägenheter i Stockholm har sedan länge varit ett välkänt problem. Kötiden för att få en lägenhet genom ett hyreskontrakt är igenom snitt mellan fem till åtta år beroende på läge samt storlek på lägenheten. Den långa kötiden leder till att folk som inte har råd att köpa en bostadsrätt tvingas betala stora summor för att få hyra en lägenhet i andrahand. Om man har haft tur och lyckat
Salaried physicians work in several health care systems, medical care organizations and fields of specialization. This thesis will provide an analysis of salaried physicians behavior by extending the model of the extrinsic motivated salaried physician elaborated by Blomqvist (1991) and include intrinsic motivation and negative utility associated with lying to the patient about the health condition
En genomgång över hur undervattens prestandan kan utökas genom implementering av aktiv kylning av flytande syre samt framför allt nivåmätningstekniker.
Med syftet att bidra till vidare forskning, påbörjar jag i upp- satsen en diskussion kring hur utforskandets svagheter kan bli till möjligheter i utbildning; Att ge sig ut i det okända och ta risker är en nödvändighet då vi vill lära oss det vi inte redan vet och i förlängningen påverka den värld vi är en del av. Men utforskandet kräver också att det som skall läras inte är känt från början och de
Syftet med studien är att undersöka om det föreligger någon skillnad i operationell verksamhet mellan företag som genomgått en Private Equity sponsrad leveraged buyout och deras jämförelsegrupp som inte genomgått en liknande förändring i deras kapitalstruktur. Studien kunde inte påvisa någon skillnad på den operationella verksamheten hos företag som genomgått en LBO och dess jämförelsegrupp
Terror Management Theory (TMT) presupposes that dealing with the fact of death promotes varying types of psychological behaviors and thoughts (Kasser & Sheldon, 2000). These thoughts then influence a persons' perception of existence. Mortality salience (MS) research, which involves being reminded of death, has succeeded in highlighting tendencies of individuals responding to death reminder
The ability of thermoresponsive, amine-functionalized microgel particles to take part in microgelmicrogel inter-cross-linking has previously been reported in the literature, in connection to applications such as for example the formation of stimuli-responsive colloidal gels and colloidosomes [1]. This thesis deals with the synthesis of such thermoresponsive, cross-linkable microgels and their subs
This thesis describes how the migration of people from Isan, the northeastern region of Thailand to Bangkok have allowed them to ‘learn the rules of the [political] game’ (Bourdieu, 1990), and make increasingly vociferous political claims. The thesis describes the political diversity, and the political impacts of migration found within Ubon Ratchathani province, in Village Ban, Amphoe Mueang, and
Following trends in local and global environments, it is obvious that many companies are faced with difficulties to survive in this competitive environment. Business Model Innovation (BMI) is the key to the firm’s long-term success. The case study of BTC d.d., has been made to give an example how firms should be aware of their weaknesses and strengths in order to constantly innovate their business
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the role of the perceived servicescape (i.e. color, music, cleanliness, ambient temperature, layout/function and signs/symbols) in influencing customers' behavioral intentions in Chinese fast food restaurants. Methods: In this study, a deductive approach, a quantitative methodology, and a survey research design are adopted. The data is collected
Obstacles and prerequisites. A study about abused women’s need for protection The aim of this study is to explore discrepancies and dissonances in the protection for abused women. The study is conducted through analysis of six regulatory documents, four autobiographies and four group interviews with professionals within public sector and women’s shelters. By using a system based theory, the stu
Homelessness is a problem that has received a lot attention in Helsingborg in the past years. In part this is due to a conflict between the city and a non-profit organization, a conflict that has been frequently covered by the local media. The conflict concerns the City of Helsingborg’s decision to quit funding the organization's housing facility for homeless individuals. The decision was also
What do current irregular migration flows in the Mediterranean Region, and subsequent policy responses in terms of migration and border control, tell us about the significance of the external borders of the EU in a context of globalization?
Today it is a matter of course to build airtight buildings both in terms of obtaining a good indoor climate as well as meeting the energy requirements. In the near future the energy requirements will be even tougher which demands for even better solutions than there are today. JM is one of the leading companies in its line of building energy efficient buildings but despite this they have been expe
There are several aspects of rune stones that can be discussed and analysed. With the help of digital tools, it is possible to look at social dimensions of archaeological objects in ways that were previously difficult to explore. In this thesis, the aim is to analyse rune stones from a spatial perspective by looking at their possible role in the landscape, what type of context they are found in an
International oil prices have been fluctuating a lot since decades. Since oil is an important component influencing global indicators, it is also important to evaluate to what extent consumer spending is affected in the aftermath of oil price shocks. Thus the paper addresses whether international oil price change has any impact on consumer spending in the long and short run. To conduct this study,
In this thesis the possibility of defining a general reference building, or so-called Baseline Building representing Swedish multi-family dwellings is investigated. The scope of the research is limited to analyze the multi-family dwellings of 3-8 stories. If succeeded the results should represent a general Baseline Building according to the new LEED v4 credit, Building Life-Cycle Impact Reduction.
Uppsatsen försöker ge en bild om assyrier/syrianers väg till en etnonationell identitet. Assyrier/syrianer är en kristen folkgrupp vars rötter är från Mellanöstern. Dock bor många av medlemmarna i Sverige och är koncentrerade till Södertälje. Efter bosättningen i Sverige räckte inte gruppens religiösa bakgrund för att etablera sig i landet. År av förtyck och diskriminering i ursprungsområdet resul
