Scholars of widely diverging persuasions have recognized the implications of the world constellation in which the discourse on foreign intervention with all its manifestations in a civil war has an explanatory value. How-ever, a number of long-standing theoretical, methodological and epistemological challenges still resist clearcut solution. This study analyzes the roles of the great powers and th

The present study deals with the question of cult locales in city gate contexts in Iron Age Palestine. Both archaeological and biblical sources are analysed in order to determine the presence of gate cult locales and indicate some directions of interpretation. A general framework for the archaeological identification of cult (as proposed by Colin Renfrew and others) is discussed and applied within

Our aims were to characterize familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in a Swedish FH population and to further elucidate the clinical expression and treatment response in relation to genotype. Secondly, we wanted to identify gene variants, which may have impact on cholesterol levels in apparently healthy subjects. In the search for sequence alterations in the large LDL receptor gene we introduced and

Despite many years of implementations, issues surrounding the success or failure of information systems are still shrouded in mystery. In a quest to improve business outcomes from such systems an IS analyst should have a key role to play. Organizational IS can be seen as a composition of indi-vidual and organizational learning processes, and as such is in a constant state of change. Knowledge as a

A linear quadratic control problem is considered, where several different controllers act as a team, but with access to different measurements. The state feedback solution obtained in a previous paper is here extended to output feedback and a separation principle is proved. The condition that certain measurements are unavailable to some state estimators is enforced by imposing a requirement that t

It has been generally accepted that residual cartilage and subchondral bone has to be removed in order to get bony fusion in arthrodeses. In 1998 we reported successful fusion of 11 rheumatoid ankles, all treated with percutaneous fixation only. In at least one of these ankle joints there was cartilage left. More than 25 rheumatoid patients with functional alignment in the ankle joint have subsequ

Methods for sampling and determination of four organic acid anhydrides are described. The methods were validated in a standard atmosphere and in the work environment. Hexahydrophthalic anhydride (HHPA), methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA), tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (THPA) and octenylsuccinic anhydride (OSA) were sampled using Tenax and Amberlite XAD-2 solid sorbents and determined by GC w

As reported in several studies, even though properly designed, it is possible that groin systems not only cause down-drift beaches to erode, but also contribute to the generation of rip currents. These rip currents run along the updrift side of the structure, moving sediment offshore where it may be, at least in part, lost from the system. It is well known that the directionality of the incident w

I denna bok rapporteras resultat från sju forskningsprojekt inom forskningsprogrammet Skolkultur en framgångsfaktor? Forskarna kommer från olika vetenskapliga discipliner: etnologi, företagsekonomi, pedagogik, socialantropologi, sociologi och statsvetenskap. Förankrade i olika perspektiv och teoritraditioner och med hjälp av olika metoder undersöker de skolan. Resultatet är en bred och varierad be
