Population and Living Standards, 1870-1914

This chapter provides the first all-European overview of diverse aspects of living standards in a period when industrialisation and modernity began to show up in substantial improvements in general living conditions. Most obvious is this seen in the increase of life expectancy. A substantial contribution came from the decline in infant mortality which occurred almost simultaneously over large part

Transport effects in hybrid circuit QED structures

Popular Abstract in Undetermined http://lup.lub.lu.se/record/4331039/file/4333215.pdfThis dissertation deals with the electron-photon interplay in hybrid circuit QED structures. The aim is to provide a framework in which this interplay can be understood and to predict experimentally measurable transport effects. In addition an application of this interplay is proposed. The thesis is based on four paper listed below: Article I comprises an investigation of the transport-induced p

A model of contextual factors and inter-organizational integration: A Grounded Theory study of two supply chains

The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to understanding of the effect of organizational context on supply chain integration. One result is a context- based model that can provide support for practitioners regarding what level of integration to establish with suppliers and customers. Given the notion that most organizations are dependent on other organizations, it leads to a need for not only

A mixed-ordered Logit approach to investigate correlations among different affordances in fire evacuation

The evaluation of the effectiveness of safety installations (such as emergency exits, lighting, etc.) is a key factor to improve the evacuation performance of buildings or transportation systems. In fact, even though an installation is designed to achieve a given design goal, it could happen it does not perform as intended. According to the Theory of Affordances, this could be interpreted in relat

Smedh, Johannes

A comprehensive biographical notice of the printer Johannes Smedh or Fabri, possibly Germanborn but active in Sweden from the late 1480s to his death in 1495.

CasADi -- A symbolic package for automatic differentiation and optimal control

We present CasADi, a free, open-source software tool for rapid, yet efficient solution of optimization problems in general and dynamic optimization problems in particular. To the developer of algorithms for numerical optimization and to the advanced user of such algorithms, it offers a level of abstraction which is notably lower, and hence more flexible, than that of algebraic modeling languages s

Revisiting Tomkins’ Polarity Theory: How Humanism and Normativism Shape Political Ideology

According to Silvan Tomkins’ (1963, 1965) Polarity Theory, all ideologies are polarized by a fundamental conflict between Humanism, which idealizes and glorifies humanity, and Normativism, which portrays human beings as inherently worthless and able to attain value only through achievement of external norms. Research has shown that Humanism and Normativism do indeed form two coherent and negativel
