Coherence Estimation between EEG signals using Multiple Window Time-Frequency Analysis compared to Gaussian Kernels

It is believed that neural activity evoked by cognitive tasks is spatially correlated in certain frequency bands. The electroencephalogram (EEG) is highly affected by noise of large amplitude which calls for sophisticated time local coherence estimation methods. In this paper we investigate different approaches to estimate time local coherence between two real valued signals. Our results indica

Energy Policy Instruments Perspectives on their Choice, Combination and Evaluation

Abstract The thesis aims at providing a better understanding of public policy instruments used in policy-making within the energy sector, particularly regarding their role in the change towards an increased use of renewable energy sources for generation of electricity. The research was guided by an underlying assumption that a markedly higher proportion of the energy generated from renewable sour

The studying of cultures -- measuring or immersing?

The aim of this chapter is to discuss two different approaches to the studying of cultures – the etic and the emic approaches. The two different approaches reflect not only different views on how cultures ought to be studied, but also to some extent different views on the nature of cultures. The etic approach suggests that it is possible to study cultures from “the outside” and that it is feasible

Sweden - Cultural and Institutional Dimensions of Developing and Reforming Social Security Systems

The paper gives a brief presentation of the cultural and institutional specificities of Sweden and how these cultural and institutional specificities impact the development of the Swedish social welfare system over periods of change, transition and strategic adjustment. The paper concludes by presenting a suggestion of a new view of the relationship between culture and social welfare systems, whic

Industrial Societies

The concept of ‘industrial society’ is generally used for a type of social organization based on mass production of commodities. This type of societies began to dominate Western Europe toward the end of the eighteenth century, reflecting a strategy to expand export production in order to appropriate embodied labor and resources from elsewhere in the world-system. Perceived as progress and ‘develop
