Ångman, Josefin. "What is driving house prices in Stockholm?" Thesis, Stockholms universitet, Nationalekonomiska institutionen, 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-130692.
Full textAbstract:
An increased mortgage cap was introduced in 2010, and as of May 1st 2016 an amortization requirement was introduced in an attempt to slow down house price development in Sweden. Fluctuations in the house prices can significantly influence macroeconomic stability, and with house prices in Stockholm rising even more rapidly than Sweden as a whole makes the understanding of Stockholm’s dynamics very important, especially for policy implications. Stockholm house prices between the first quarter of 1996 and the fourth quarter of 2015 is therefore investigated using a Vector Error Correction framework. This approach allows a separation between the long run equilibrium price and short run dynamics. Decreases in the real mortgage rate and increased real financial wealth seem to be most important in explaining rising house prices. Increased real construction costs and increased real disposable income also seem to have an effect. The estimated models suggest that around 40-50 percent, on average, of a short-term deviation from the long-run equilibrium price is closed within a year. As of the last quarter 2015, real house prices are significantly higher compared to the long run equilibrium price modeled. The deviation is found to be around 6-7 percent.

Full textAbstract:
Bibliography: pages 74-83.The thesis attempts to show the complexity of the literary challenge which Chaucer undertook in the House of Fame. Firstly, I establish a sense of the tradition of criticism inspired by the poem, and then show the ramifications of the choice of medium. The poem is a "dream vision", a genre which took the contentious truth-claims and unsettled status of dreams, and used it as the foundation for a poetics which concentrated on the relation of the conscious subject to truth. This is investigated in an extended metaphor, where the experience of the unconscious subject in a purely linguistic world is tested, and from the experiment, conclusions may be drawn concerning the human condition with regard to all knowledge. I briefly examine the divergent positions of the Divine Comedy and the Romance of the Rose, situating Chaucer in the debt of both, but philosophically in the French camp. The House of Fame I see as a "deconstruction" of any position of certainty in rational or mystical epistemology, which marks out a secular sphere of influence for literature in the manner of Ovid. The second half of the thesis is largely a close reading of the poem itself, which attempts to trace the development of these "skeptical" ideas in literary form, showing how, by appealing to the whole European literary inheritance, the force of the argument is enhanced in subtlety, range and wit. Love, Nature, and Fame, the three topoi of the three books, are each in turn unsettled, as too are the three "ways of knowing" - perception, reason, and memory. The poem does not "end" in the traditional mode of closure largely because it has made such a notion an impossible ideal, beyond the reach of the unaided human mind.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation research was designed as two independent research studies. The first study, qualitative, and non-experimental, aimed to examine residents’, family members’, and staff members’ (stakeholders’) satisfaction with, and attitudes toward Green House living one month prior to moving and again at one and three months after moving. Focus groups were the primary method of data collection. Thirty residents and 40 staff members transitioned to one of three Green House homes beginning January, 2013. Data collected began in December, 2012. Following each focus group, tape recordings were transcribed, and coded. Using grounded theory and the constant comparative method of analysis, themes emerged. Pre-move focus group themes revealed that stakeholders were concerned about (a) the quality of care in a system using fewer staff members and (b) the challenges associated with adjusting to a new environment. Post-move focus group themes revealed that (a) stakeholders remained concerned about staffing levels; (b) residents’ had improvements in appetite, socializing, and ambulation; and (c) staff members struggled with autonomous work teams, but preferred the Green House model of care to that of a traditional nursing home. The final model reflects a synthesis of themes from which self-efficacy beliefs were hypothesized. Themes were also linked to existing gerontological theories: Person-Environment Fit, Place-Space, Thriving, and Personhood. The second study, designed to explore the construct validity of the Person-Centered Care Attitude Tool (Per-CCat), consisted of 42 Likert-type questions divided into four sections that align with person-centered care principles. Eighty-six employees of Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community completed the survey; only 70 were analyzed due to missing data. Principal Components Analysis was the analytic approached used for these data. Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity (X2 = 2006.56, p = 0.000) and Keiser-Myers-Olkins measure of sampling adequacy (0.746) indicated that the data were factorable. The final four-factor 34-item solution aligned with the following person-centered care principals: resident autonomy, social interaction and community, work culture, and feelings toward work. Further validations studies of the Per-CCat are necessary. Given the trend in long-term care toward person-centered care, a validated survey will be useful for hiring and educating caregivers and other nursing home personnel.

Full textAbstract:
Although the Council House Fight is well written about in the annals of early Texas history, this all-encompassing study will reveal a whole new picture. Unlike previous works that maintained one point of view, multiple perspectives were analyzed and explored to allow a more comprehensive view of the Council House Fight to emerge. Primary focus on social and cultural misunderstandings, as well as the mounting hostility between the Penateka Comanche and Texians across the frontier, will demonstrate their general distrust and hatred of the other. Detailing their complicated relationship will prove that neither the Texians nor the Comanche were without blame, and both shared responsibility for the deterioration of events on and before March 19, 1840.

The increased volatility of asset prices in both developing and developed economies seems to be a growing concern for economic policy makers. Whilst there is a growing literature investigating the link between monetary policy and its implications for asset price volatility there remains uncertainty regarding the overall effects of macroeconomic shocks on longterm asset prices. Using a VAR framework and South African house price data from 1970 to 2006, this paper takes a preliminary step towards identifying how this asset price responds to macroeconomic shocks and the relative importance of these shocks.

Full textAbstract:
This essay focuses on morals and different moral stages of the characters in A.A.Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh and the House at Pooh Corner. The books about Winnie-the-Pooh are children’s books and like most books written for children, they contain valuable lessons that are meant to teach children something, usually something about morals. Both Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner demonstrate, as I will discuss, different kinds of morals, which vary between different characters. The method I use is a close reading of Milne’s books about Winnie-the-Pooh, applying to them theories from Jean Piaget and other authorities on cognitive development and moral behavior. The result of my research points to different moral stages of the characters and the different lessons there are to learn from them. Utilizing Piaget’s theories on cognitive development, my conclusion is that some of the characters represent the adult world and mature adult behavior and some of the characters are more immature and behave as children. For the young reader, there are thus lessons to learn both from the representatives of the adult world and from the experience of children.

Francis, Jesse M. "THE EFFECTS OF HYDROPONIC WHEAT FODDER ON FECAL METABOLITES IN EQUINES." OpenSIUC, 2017. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/theses/2096.
Full textAbstract:
The use of hydroponic feeding systems for horses has gained in popularity during recent years. Typically, this feeding system allows for a more efficient use of the whole plant, including the shoot, root, and seed remnants rather than traditional grazing in which only the shoot of the plant is consumed. Vertical systems have practical uses in largely developed areas where traditional forage sources are limited, in arid countries or in areas with severe droughts where forage growth is minimal. Though there is some research on fodder utilization in production animals, there are currently no published data on the effects of fodder in horses. Our study, approved by the Southern Illinois University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (#13-043) utilized eight Quarter Horse mares randomly assigned to one of two diets. Control (CON) horses were offered 2% of their body weight (BW) in hay (DM) and treatment (TRT) horses received 1% of their BW in hay (DM) and 1% of BW in fresh wheat fodder (AF) twice daily. Body weight and hoof temperature data were recorded weekly. Fecal samples were collected weekly and analyzed for pH, NH3, and VFA concentration as well as DM, ash, NDF, ADF, N, CP, and EE. Hay and fodder samples were also collected weekly to monitor nutrient profiles of the two forage types for the duration of the study. Additionally, nutrient profiles from seed to mature (8 d growth) were developed for fodder. Data were analyzed as a completely randomized design using PROC MIXED of SAS (v. 9.4) and significance was established at P < 0.05. There were no significant differences in body weight, left or right front hoof temperatures between treatments. Fecal pH was significantly lower (P ≤ 0.01) in the TRT when compared to CON, and isobutyric acid was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) higher in TRT as compared to CON. A comparison of the nutrient values of the two forages demonstrated significantly higher DM, ash, NDF, and ADF (P <0.0001) in hay while N, CP, and EE (P <0.0001) were significantly higher in fodder overall. Daily growth of the fodder decreased DM content (P <0.0001) while ash, NDF, ADF, N, CP, and EE (P <0.0001) increased as the fodder reached maturity. These results indicate that utilizing fodder affects fecal metabolites associated with digestion.

Houses convey meaning and invoke architectural as well as social responses in people. While a traditional-appearing home may invoke social nostalgia, the impression one has is soon infected by the material deception that holds up a confused linguistical display. The typical house is not traditional, it just looks that way from a certain distance.
In designing a house in the midst of this mediocrity, what approach should be taken? Does one engage the language of â houseâ and attempt to â get it rightâ ?
We can take a different course, and choose not to engage the language of traditional building that has been shoddily represented in the semantical dimension. Through an articulated syntactical interaction between the primary elements of a house, a unique place for living, which adds something to the community, can be created.Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to explore the nature of 'power' in ICT-related CPD activities that focus on introducing and developing use of learning platform technologies in primary classrooms. I am interested to identify what makes such training activities go well, so that this knowledge can be used to ensure that the process is successful more often. In this context, success is regular use of the LP and VLE to enhance teaching and learning. Through this thesis I will present the background for my research in the context of government papers as well as published research papers. I will then discuss my research choices; namely, a poststructural paradigm, case study methodology within an action research approach, data collection by participant observation, and thematic analysis of the data analysis, supported by deconstruction. I will then present and analyse the data generated by the research. Finally, I will offer conclusions regarding the nature of power in ICT -related CPD, suggesting that knowledge is not power, and that subject leaders with expert knowledge do not have a position of power in training discourses: power rests with the head teacher and the trainees; the trainer only gains power when it is given to them by the head teacher and trainees.

Full textAbstract:
Scenario House, a gallery based installation, is comprised of a room constructed as a ???family room??? within a domestic space, a television with a looped video work and a sound componant played through a 5.1 sound system. The paper is intended to give my work context in relation to the processes leading up to its completion. This is achieved through clarification of the basis for the installation including previous socio-political discourses within my art practice. It then focuses on ways that the installation Scenario House is based on gun practice facilities such as the Valhalla Shooting Club. Further it gives an explanation of the actual production, in context with other art practices. It was found that distinctions between ???war as a game??? and the actual event are being lost within ???simulation revenge scenarios??? where the borders distinguishing gaming violence, television violence and revenge scenarios are increasingly indefinable. War can then be viewed a spectacle where the actual event is lost in a simplified simulation. Scenario House as installation allows audience immersion through sound spatialisation and physical devices. Sound is achieved by design of a 5.1 system played through a domestic home theatre system. The physical design incorporates the dual aspect of a gun shooting club and a lounge room. Further a film loop is shown on the television monitor as part of the domestic space ??? it is non-narrative and semi-documentary in style. The film loop represents the mediation of the representation of fear where there is an exclusion of ???the other??? from the social body. When considering this installation it is important to note that politics and art need not be considered as representing two separate and permanent realities. Conversely there is a need to distance politicised art production from any direct political campaign work in so far as the notion of a campaign constitutes a fixed and inflexible space for intellectual and cultural production. Finally this paper expresses the need to maintain a critical openness to media cultures that dominate political discourse. Art practices such as those of Martha Rosler, Haacke and Paul McCarthy are presented as effective strategies for this form of production.

Full textAbstract:
With the rise of urbanization and population migration into urban areas there are opportunities for new
ways of designing homes in a city. There is an opportunity to rethink urban living by merging the suburban/
rural lifestyle with the lifestyle of the city. Introducing the program of food production or vertical farming
to an apartment building allows for this merger of lifestyles. Inviting these two programs to coexist within
the same space allows them to benefit from each other's presence and create a new building typology in the
urban fabric of a city.
This thesis idea led to the design of a building located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that embodies both of
the programs of a residential building and food production. The residents of the building use the food
production space as circulation and as a yard-like gathering space. Through the use of these spaces the idea
of cohousing is introduced. Cohousing is defined as the use of design to generate a community that builds
connection and insights collaborative participation. The system that occupies this communal space is
aquaponics, defined as the growth of aquatic life (fish) in conjunction with the growth/farming of
vegetation. The fish and plants benefit from each other, the fish providing waste nutrient water and the
plants filtering that waste out of the water in a closed looped irrigation system. The introduction of an
aquaponics system allows for the diversity of food production to be broadened in a limited environment.
The residents of the building and community tend to the aquaponics system as a collective. This space can
also act as a park for the residence to reprogram to their needs i.e. a block party, beer garden, marketplace,
educational space, special event space, ect.
The building is designed to be able to react and respond to the outside climate to provide optimal conditions
for the growth of plants and comfort of occupants. There is a robotic louver system that can be programmed
to allow direct light or to shade an area of the building depending on the needs of the plants or occupants
beyond.
This thesis is designed to be a building of a new typology in an urban environment and introduce new ideas
as to what a home in a city is, in a rapidly changing and advancing society.
Thesis Statement: With the changing of the world and lifestyles new typologies and opportunities in
housing emerge. Using new spatial configurations and introducing food production generates a new
building typeMaster of Architecture
This project is designed for people that live in the city to experience a new idea of what a home in the city can be. This project combines housing and food growth into one building by using between spaces. The goal of merging housing and food growth is to create a new type of building in a city. The building is located in Philadelphia, PA along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The goal is to create a housing experience that replicates that of one in a rural or suburban area but in actuality located in a city. The building is designed to enhance life in a city and create a community like apartment building. Different species of vegetables and fish are grown by the people living in the building.The people that live in this community can use the food production spaces as an interior park for what they need i.e. a block party, beer garden, marketplace, educational space, special event space, ect. The building responds to the outdoor temperatures to allow for the plants inside to grow and the occupants to live in comfort. The overall theme of the project is to successfully design a new living condition in the city by merging housing with food production.

La economía colaborativa se ha convertido en una tendencia mundial y está revolucionando diversos sectores y el sector inmobiliario no es la excepción. Asimismo, con el incremento del uso de la tecnología, las plataformas que facilitan el alquiler de viviendas se han multiplicado.
Esto ha permitido que quienes buscan alquilar alguna propiedad lo hagan sin necesidad de intermediarios, es decir, pueden contactar al propietario directamente solo accediendo a la plataforma y pagando una comisión por el servicio.
Sin embargo, en estos últimos años esta revolución no solo ha llegado a la venta y alquiler de viviendas habituales, también lo ha hecho al alquiler vacacional, la búsqueda de departamentos compartidos e incluso intercambios de propiedades.
El planteamiento de esta oportunidad nos lleva a desarrollar una nueva idea de negocio de intercambio de casas de playa y campo entre propietarios a nivel nacional, que a corto plazo significarán ingresos económicos altos y un reto por ingresar dicho modelo en el mercado peruano.The collaborative economy has become a global trend and is revolutionizing different industries and the real estate industry is no exception. Also, with the increased use of technologies, the platforms that facilitate the rental of homes have multiplied. This has allowed those looking to rent some property to do so without intermediaries, that is, they can contact the owner directly by accessing the platform and paying a commission for service. However, in these last years this revolution has not only come to the sale and rental of usual homes, it has also done to the holiday rental, the search for shared apartments and even property exincremechanges. The approach of this opportunity leads us to develop a new business idea for the exchange of beach and field homes between owners at the national level, which in the short term will mean high economic income and a challenge to enter this model in the Peruvian market.

Edwards, Stephanie Lorraine. ""Still House"." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2020. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1703404/.
Full textAbstract:
Still House is a poetry manuscript that explores the relationship between traditional gender roles and traditional poetic forms. The poems in this collections seek to revise the role of the homemaker and interrogate whether it is okay to take comfort and pleasure in tasks that are often labeled as feminine (i.e. cooking, baking, decorating, organizing, shopping, choosing outfits) while rejecting other parts of the homemaker archetype, such as subservience to and dependence upon men. Limited gender roles, patriarchy, sexist comments, capitalism, toxic masculinity, the cis-hetero-white-male gaze, trauma, physical pain, illness—these all can make it feel like we are not fully in control and ownership of our bodies, like something is encroaching. The poems in Still House are invested in using the poetics of embodiment (a poetics centered around telling stories about the body through immersive sensory details) to reclaim the body from trauma, patriarchy, and chronic pain and illness.

This thesis began with an interest in apartment housing typology. I am familiar with this typology, yet it remains mysterious. The topic was never touched on in five years of architectural education or the time spent working in firms. I felt the need to study this typology.
It is through the repetition of working with the realization that the hand and mind are one; I understand what I am working toward and the hand informs the mind of what it is doing.
The notion of centralization, transparency, spatial ambiguity, symmetry, dematerialization, are used as a method to organize space and architectural elements. Spatial orders and conditions are examined through the use of idealized color.
This work is the result of a year long study of the above architectural vocabulary. It is my hope that through this study, I can begin to establish a point of view.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis inquires into the nature of economy and its connection with the architecture of the house. Economy is a slippery term. In its original sense, the word had more to do with philosophy than finance. It raised issues of necessity, hierarchy, government, and happiness. Aristotle distinguished chrematistics, the art of getting wealth, from economy, the art of household management.Vitruvius, the first architectural theorist, offered a differing interpretation of the word, and included it as one of his six principles of architecture. Henry David Thoreau revisited Aristotleâ s ideas and invented a new, solitary economy. Both he and Aristotle emphasized that the purpose of economy is to meet material needs with sufficiency rather than surfeit. Economie House explores these ideas architecturally. On an imaginary site a perfect red cube sits on a concrete platform. Steel frames support a translucent, gabled roof. The cube opens in various ways to reveal the machines that serve manâ s biological needs. Closed, the cube suggests the limits of material goods as contributions to the good life.Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
This thesis began with the goal of designing a bold house cantilevered over the edge of a cliff 120 feet above the water, and evolved into the study of how to design when starting with the primary form of a cube.
The cube was chosen as representing the crystalline form of the rock upon which the house sits. The outside shell of the house is horizontal, board formed concrete, also in reference to the layered rock of the cliff face.
There are two primary forces cutting away the mass of the cube to produce the final form of the house. The first force is of the site, and is generated by two spectacular views. These two views are used to cut through the house, forming an â Xâ shaped atrium eight feet wide and four storeys high, in the center of the house.
The second force is generated by the desire to bring daylight into two opposite corners of the house. The southern corner of the house faces the lake. The bottom of that corner is cut out more than the top to admit direct sun in the winter, indirect sun in the summer, and reflected sun off the lake year round.
The northern corner of the house faces the woods. The top of that corner is cut out more than the bottom to allow northern light into the top floors and maintain privacy on the lower floor, where the driveway approaches the house.Master of Architecture

This thesis is an architectural investigation of a house as a rational object imbued by memory. The place is a wooded hill on the border between a hundred acre farm and the marshy ravine of the Totopotomoy "Totomoy" Creek in Mechanicsville, Virginia. The farm dates back to the Civil War when the Totomoy was no man's land between Union and Confederate earth works. It has been farmed by my grandfather since the late 1940s. The house is a pair of rectangles separated by a stair. The concrete block walls are punctured by large windows, aligned to define interior passage and establishing clarity of spatial and formal relationships. The tower house is the reduction and rational manifestation of familial memory.Master of Architecture

This project uses the program of a house on Claytor Lake as a vehicle for exploring the role of turning in protecting and uniting adjacent spaces. Drawing was the primary means for this process of exploration, and can be read wholly and without the support of related text. Figures at various scales -- from column to tree, resident to house -- both inhabit and articulate the project. This house celebrates the preeminence of the hallway, and emphasizes its authority with the presence of subordinate figures and an agonistic landscape.Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
The Sugden House is consistently committed to the idea of functionalism in its direct, natural and honest take on materiality and construction, while the Mother& rsquo;s House is mostly ambiguous, inclusive and is made up of residual spaces and detached skins. In urban planning terms, the Sugden House represents a new order to the city, one that sensitively rose from a deep understanding of family and community needs, whereas the Mother's House represents an acceptance of suburbia and its noisy tendencies, a non-judgemental acceptance of 'what people' want.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the idiosyncrasies of the nineteenth-century property market and the significance of rented spaces in the literary imagination, focusing on Charles Dickens's fiction and journalism. The traditional understanding of the Victorian home has been challenged in recent criticism that points to the permeability of the public and private spheres, complicates the ways in which gender mapped onto these spheres, and highlights the difference between home and house, freehold and leasehold. This thesis contributes to the discussion by showing that domestic space was a more fractured concept than the middle-class ideal suggests. Versions of 'home' could be found in a multitude of unlikely and unstable places: in inns, hotels, lodging-houses, boarding-houses, and private houses subdivided into apartments for income. Drawing particular attention to London, I reveal tenancy - the commodification of space - to be a governing force in everyday life in the period. The vast majority of the population had an immediate economic relationship with the rooms and houses they inhabited, and this basic fact had various social, psychological and imaginative corollaries. Dickens may have been read as an overwhelming proponent of domestic ideology, but as this thesis argues, rented spaces had an enduring hold upon him. Most significantly, for Dickens, to write about tenancy meant to write about writing. His tenancy narratives touch upon questions of genre, style, character, authorial self-consciousness and the literary marketplace - especially his dialogue with the writers working around him. I explain that the emerging prominence of rented spaces gave Dickens and his circle new narrative opportunities, offering them a tool with which to study the boundaries of different genres. Space, then, does not simply provide a backdrop for incident in the novel, but plays a direct part in determining which incidents take place. Accordingly, the chapters in this thesis are principally divided by genre. The introduction lays out the historical, theoretical and geographical coordinates of the argument. The first chapter identifies some of the key features of Dickens's emerging urban style, situates his early work within an influential farce tradition, and brings the figure of the landlady to life. The second discusses spatial metaphors in the Bildungsroman; it ends with an argument about the 1851 window-tax repeal and its implications for literary lodging-houses. Chapter 3 considers the sudden growth of the hospitality industry during the Great Exhibition and its corresponding narratives, from comedy to sensation fiction. This is followed by a short interlude on seaside lodgings, where Dickens and his contemporaries modernised the pastoral for the nineteenth century. After charting contemporary debates surrounding 'low' lodging-houses, Chapter 4 demonstrates how these writers used rented spaces to make major contributions to the rise of the detective story. The fifth chapter, on living alone and living together, is largely dedicated to the multi-authored Christmas numbers of Household Words and All the Year Round; these witty collections suggest that the dynamics of the lodging-house reflect the politics of Dickens's immediate circle. Finally, a coda contemplates the legacy of Dickens's tenancy narratives in the late nineteenth century and beyond.

Different mirrors produce different angles, lighting, tone, and mood. The mirror is a tool of reference and of introspection; of confinement and of freedom. ...

Full textAbstract:
The project’s objective is to provide Florence with a new concept - a public Cultural House open for everyone and offering a current, reflective and innovative cultural experience from a local, national and international perspective. At the same time, this will open up and give colour and new life to the ancient convent “Sant’Orsola”, consider the balance between old and new, and relate to what it once was - a place for the community characterized by togetherness, activation and educational possibilities. The circle is the central symbol and associates to the history and never ending time, as a clock that goes around… tic toc. The aim is to address a current need, reduce some gaps and to find a value that is not only about the local historical aspects, but the interaction and exchange between different people and cultures in real time.

Full textAbstract:
Jordbromalmskolan was shut down despite protests from the citizens of Jordbro. It was going to give place for housing in an attempt to save a dying commercial centre, but it was occupied by cultural workers who managed to convince the municipality to keep the building as a culture house. This project addresses culture as an engine for public life by adapting a building to a new program, revealing existing qualities and adding new architectural layers.Jordbromalmsskolan stängdes 2009 trots protester från Jordbros invånare. Skolan skulle ge plats åt nya bostäder i ett försök att rädda Jordbros döende centrum. 2012 flyttade några kulturorganisationer in i huset på ett rivningskontrakt och Jordbro Kulturhus skapades. Efter två års kamp lyckades kulturarbetarna övertyga kommunen att behålla huset som kulturhus. Det här projektet adresserar kultur som en motor för publikt liv genom att anpassa en byggnad till ett nytt program, lyfta fram befintliga kvaliteter och addera nya arkitektoniska lager.
