  2. 1. Home, Job and Space : Mapping and Modeling the Labor Market

    Author : John Östh; Bo Malmberg; Lena Magnusson; Stewart Fotheringham; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Social and economic geography; GIS; ELMO; Estimated Labor Market Outcome; Estimated Labour Market Outcome; Accessibility; Access; Job Accessibility; Place; Employment; Unemployment; Labour; Labor; Labor Market; Labour Market; Topology; Local Labour Market Area; Modelling; Modeling; Spatial Modelling; Spatial Modeling; Spatial Mismatch; SMH; Mismatch; Commuting; Regionalization; Geography; Population Geography; Economic Geography; Time-geography; Space; Kulturgeografi;

    Abstract : How does space affect individuals’ outcome on the labor market? And how do we measure it? Beyond the notion of the labor market as a system of supply and demand, lays a society of individuals and workplaces, whose relationships are undeniably complex. This thesis aims to shed some new light on how to investigate and analyze the complex labor market relationships from a spatial perspective. READ MORE

  4. 2. Spatial Spread of Organisms : Modeling ecological and epidemiological processes

    Author : Tom Lindström; Uno Wennergren; Colleen Webb; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Spatial kernel; Spatially explicit modeling; Disease transmission; Animal movements; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the spread of organisms in both ecological and epidemiological contexts. In most of the studies presented, displacement is modeled with a spatial kernel function, which is characterized by scale and shape. These are measured by the net squared displacement (or kernel variance) and kurtosis, respectively. READ MORE

  5. 3. Spatial Analysis and Modeling for Health Applications

    Author : Lars Skog; Yifang Ban; Matthew Smallman-Raynor; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sweden; spatial analysis; spatial modeling; spatio-temporal spread; epidemiology; pandemic; walkability; health; Russian influenza; Asian influenza; A H1N1 pdm09; GWM; climate factors;

    Abstract : Despite the benefits of applying methods of geographic information science (GIScience), the use of such methods in health service planning and provision remains greatly underutilized. Spread of epidemic diseases is a constant threat to mankind and the globalization of the world increases the risk for global attacks from multi-resistant bacteria or deadly virus strains. READ MORE

  6. 4. Spatial modeling in sediments

    Author : Åsa Danielsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Abstract : In a marine environment the sediments play an important role. They act as sinks, where the concentrations often are higher than in the water mass above, but also as sources for numerous pollutants. READ MORE

  7. 5. Scalable Bayesian spatial analysis with Gaussian Markov random fields

    Author : Per Sidén; Mattias Villani; Anders Eklund; Håvard Rue; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Spatial statistics; Bayesian statistics; Gaussian Markov random fields; fMRI; Machine learning; Spatial statistik; Bayesiansk statistik; Gaussiska Markov-fält; fMRI; Maskininlärning;

    Abstract : Accurate statistical analysis of spatial data is important in many applications. Failing to properly account for spatial autocorrelation may often lead to false conclusions. READ MORE
