The purpose of the paper is to highlight the influence of expectations of professionals towards a greater role in decision-taking at all levels. This includes an expectation of collaboration in the development of organizational information systems. To this end we drew upon Claudio Ciborra's Mood, represented by his discussion of bricolage, hacking and improvisation and their philosophical foundati

As fault handling in multi-processor system-on-chips (MPSoCs) is a major challenge, we have developed an MPSoC demonstrator that enables experimentation on fault injection and fault handling. Our MPSoC demonstrator consists of (1) an MPSoC model with a set of components (devices) each equipped with fault detection features, so called instruments, (2) an Instrument Access Infrastructure (IAI) based

These are the proceedings of a symposium on nineteenth-century studies hosted by the department of English in November 2002. The volume contains an introduction and eight articles on nineteenth-century literature and culture.

Different theories about woman and woman's writing are surveyed. Showalter's theory on woman's culture is presented and modified, in order to create a theoretical platform for testing the hypothesis about woman's language existing outside the dominant language. The material chosen, women's letters from mainly the 18th Century in French, German, Swedish, and English, for testing this hypothesis, is

This paper treats modelling of power systems with converters in alinear time-periodic framework.A power converter is a nonlinear switching device connecting an ACsystem to a DC system. The converter generates harmonics that mightcause instabilities in systems of this kind. About a nominal periodictrajectory the power converter is well described by a periodic gainmatrix, whereas the power grids oft

Today the Sun is in a relatively uncrowded place. The distance between it and the nearest other star is relatively large (about 200 000 times the Earth-Sun distance!). This is beneficial to life on Earth; a close encounter with another star is extremely unlikely. Such encounters would either remove the Earth from its orbit around the Sun or leave it on an eccentric orbit similar to a comet's. But

This master thesis explores four television plays written and directed by Samuel Beckett: Eh Joe, Ghost Trio, ...but the clouds..., and Night and Dreams. The plays are read in accordance with the film-philosophical approach to cinema outlined in Gilles Deleuze's books on cinema. The master thesis attempts to position these plays as images in relation to the movement- and time-image as well as to t

Abstract in Norwegian På kort har øya Ko Lanta utviklet seg til det stedet i Thailand med flest svensker. Etter tsunami katastrofen i desember 2004 har utviklingen gått fort og migrasjon til øya har blitt veldig populært av ulike grunner. Lokalsamfunnene og områdene som tidligere var bebodd av havnomader og fattige muslimske fiskere er nå i ferd med å bli fortrengt av skan- dinaver som bygger hus

Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteiner är en av kroppens viktigaste beståndsdelar. Proteiner bygger upp stabila nätverk för att cellerna ska ha sin rätta form, de transporterar in vatten, salt och andra molekyler in i cellerna så att vi kan ta upp näring och de katalyserar kemiska reaktioner. Proteiner är uppbyggda av aminosyror som binds ihop till en kedja och som sedan veckar ihop sig så att protSeveral neurodegenerative diseases are caused by peptides or proteins forming amyloid fibrils such as the Aβ peptide involved in Alzheimer’s disease and the huntingtin exon-1 with a prolonged polyglutamine (polyQ) stretch involved in Huntington’s disease. The ability to form amyloid fibrils is an intrinsic feature in all proteins. The fibrils are built up of monomers to form elongated structures w

In this paper two simplified transform based estimators for MIMO OFDM systems using the DFT and an SVD based transform are compared over a tapped delay line channel model. In the resulting symbol error rate plots, it is seen that the DFT based estimator experiences an error floor caused by the mismatch between the discrete time model and a continuous time reality. This error floor becomes a proble
