Strategic Unionism and Partnership: Boxing or Dancing?

This book is the major output of a research project exploring the relationship between social partnership and trade union renewal in a comparative context by reporting on recent experiences of co-operative approaches to industrial relations in eight countries: the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Romania and the US. Case studies were compiled to draw out illustrative aspects f

Test Quality Analysis and Improvement for an Embedded Asynchronous FIFO

Embedded First-InFirst-Out (FIFO) memories are increasingly used in many IC designs.We have created a new full-custom embedded FIFO module withasynchronous read and write clocks, which is at least a factor twosmaller and also faster than SRAM-based and standard-cell-basedcounterparts. The detection qualities of the FIFO test for bothhard and weak resistive shorts and opens have been analyzed by an

"Dragoste" and "Iubire" : love in the layperson model of native speakers of Romanian

In a preliminary study aimed at outlining the organization of affective categories in Romanian, several cases were identified where Romanians made use of two or more competing linguistic terms applied to what appeared to be the same conceptual configuration . One such case is taken into consideration in this 5-study follow-up investigation, whose purpose was to obtain empirical data for establishi

Perspectives in attitudes and decision making

The general purpose of this thesis was to test the assumption that perspectives (i.e., way of seeing) and attributions (explaining behavior) are related to decision making and to attitudes in a controversial issue. Previous research on perspectives, attributions, attitudes, and decision making and the relationship between these phenomena has found that people make different judgments in decision m

Field trials with ISA in Hungary

Field experiments with ISA (Intelligent Speed Adaptation) has been carried out in the city of Debrecen, Hungary. Twenty vehicles were equipped with two kinds of ISA systems: 1) support via an active accelerator pedal and 2) warning via beep signals and flashing red light when exceeding the speed limit. Speed was continually logged in all vehicles and the test drivers were interviewed. The results

Interstellar Intersubjectvity : The Significance of Shared Cognition for Communication, Empathy, and Altruism in Space

What kind of indispensable cognitive ability is needed for intelligence, sociability, communication, and technology to emerge on a habitable planet? My answer is simple: intersubjectivity. I stress the significance of intersubjectivity, of shared cognition, for extraterrestrial intelligence and interstellar communication, and argue that it is in fact crucial and indispensable for any successful in

StateGraph-A Modelica Library for Hierarchical State Machines

The new library Modelica.StateGraph is a freeModelica package providing components to modeldiscrete event and reactive systems in a convenientway. It has a similar modeling power as Statecharts,but avoids some deficiencies of Statecharts by usingelements of JGrafchart and by using Modelica as an“action” language. An overview of the StateGraphlibrary is given, the available components and anapplica

Reproduction and survival in the lesser spotted woodpecker. Effects of life history, mating system and age.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 9 år (1989-1997) studerades individuellt märkta mindre hackspettar i ett undersökningsområde i södra Smålands ädellövskogar. De flesta studierna gjordes i 17 potentiella revir, vilka undersöktes årligen. Följningar av hackspettar försedda med radiosändare visade att fåglarna rörde sig inom ett, i medeltal, 742 ha stort hemområde under vintern. Under häckningstideOver 9 years, 116 breeding attempts made by individually marked lesser spotted woodpeckers (Dendrocopos minor) were followed in a study area in southern Sweden. The home-range area decreased from on average 742 ha in winter to a defended territory of 103 ha prior to breeding and 43 ha during nesting. The annual timing of the breeding varied between years but was each year synchronized with the bu

Lauritz Weibull prokatolsk? : Om hans kyrkohistoriska arbeten

On Lauritz Weibull (1873–1960), archivist and professor of history at Lund University (1919–1938). It is suggested that the portrayal of Catholicism in his historical essays was characterized by both lucidity and familiarity, and not the obscurity and alienation that was usually the situation in early twentieth century Scandinavia.
