This paper seeks to discuss the nature of complex relationships among participants in organizational life, including ways in which paradox and ambiguity in their interactions impact upon organizational performance. Any relationship emerges and subsists through interaction between people. The nature of a relationship is the result of double description (Bateson, 2002). Each of the parties involved

Popular Abstract in Swedish Trastsångarnas MHC gener i klarspråk Inuti kroppen ser vi väldigt lika ut allihop; men om mina njurar skulle sluta att fungera är det inte alls säkert att just du kan donera en njure till mig. Detta beror på att våra transplantations-gener eller s.k. MHC- (Major Histocompatibility Complex) gener är olika, och vid en transplantation måste många av donatorns och mottagarIn vertebrates the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) plays a central role in the specific immune defence against various pathogens. Compared with other coding genes the MHC genes exhibit an extremely high level of polymorphism that is maintained by balancing selection. The importance in the immune defence and the polymorphism make these genes interesting to study from an ecological and evolut

Popular Abstract in Swedish Övergödning av hav, sjöar och vattendrag beror på att näringsämnen som bl.a. kväve och fosfor tillförs i sådana mängder att ekosystemen kommer i obalans. Tillförseln gynnar en riklig tillväxt av cyanobakterier, tång och sjögräs som sedan vid sin död bryts ner av mikroorganismer som konsumerar syret som finns i vattnet. När syrefria förhållanden har uppstått gynnas andraSome of the main factors affecting the biological removal of nutrients in wastewater treatment plants have been investigated. The influence of low concentrations of dissolved oxygen and the redox potential on the denitrification, activity of activated sludge was studied in batchwise experiments. Oxygen was found to have a negative effect on denitrification even when present at concentrations lower

This study shows how locally observed geomagnetic disturbances can bepredicted from solar wind data with artificial neural network (ANN)techniques. After subtraction of a secularly varying base level, thehorizontal components XSq and YSq of the quiettime daily variations are modeled with radial basis function networkstaking into account seasonal and solar activity modulations. Theremaining horizon

In this work, we present implementation and experiment of the theory of dynamic force sensing for robotic manipulators, which uses a sensor fusion technique in order to extract the contact force exerted by the end-effector of the manipulator from those measured by a wrist force sensor, which are corrupted by the inertial forces on the end-effector. We propose a new control strategy based on multis

This document Developing Emission Scenarios to aid Air Pollution Prevention and Control: A guideline manual for RAPIDC in South Asia has been written as a general introduction to the generation and utilisation of scenarios in a specific context. That context encompasses deliberate action to reduce the generation and impacts of air pollution. Thus, the work is intended to support the implementation

While the effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 level on starch and sugar metabolism have been extensively studied in different plants, the effect on plant lipid metabolism concerns only a few studies and none of these are on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. This study of the lipid composition in seeds and leaves of A. thaliana is therefore of interest when trying to predict how the future envi

Hur behåller man hälsan som lärare? Vad händer i mötet mellan politiska ambitioner och kommunal skolverklighet? Hur påverkar den ordlösa kommunikationen stämningen i klassrummet? Vad händer när mätbar kunskap blir viktigare än användbar kunskap? Kan man vara nöjd som lärare men missnöjd som anställd? Skolan har blivit en ideologisk ”het potatis” som väcker engagemang, både inom och utom skolans v
