   Keywords : Learning Centres; adult education; videoconference; actor-networks; actors; networks; Lärcentra; vuxenutbildning; videokonferens aktörsnätverk; aktörer; nätverk; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on the practice of local learning centres in Sweden. The aim is to describe and to establish an understanding of relations and the actor-networks that surround the practice. The thesis is based on four different studies. READ MORE

4. 2. Global Spaces for Local Entrepreneurship : Stretching clusters through networks and international trade fairs

   Author : Marcela Ramírez-Pasillas; Bengt Johannisson; Sven-Åke Hörte; Poul Rind Christensen; Växjö universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; clusters; international trade fairs; proximity; networks; organising contexts; Business studies; Företagsekonomi;

   Abstract : Many of the insightful writings on clusters identify the role of entrepreneurs as key agents in the formation of firms and clusters. This thesis argues instead that local entrepreneurship is not ceased once firms and clusters are established; local entrepreneurship is about the continuous (re)creation of both businesses and clusters in global spaces.

There have been numerous studies on real transportation systems from multiple fileds, including geography, urban planning, and engineering. READ MORE

7. 5. Local measures for probabilistic networks

   Author : Amin Kaveh; Matteo Magnani; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : Modeling and analysis of imperfection in network data is essential in many applications such as protein–protein interaction networks, ad-hoc networks and social influence networks. In the study of imperfect network data, three issues have to be considered: first the type of imperfection, second the aspects of networks such as existence of nodes/edges or attributes of nodes/edges in which imperfection occurs and third the theory that has been used to represent imperfection.
