This dissertation draws on postcolonial understandings in order to offer a sociological analysis of Lebanese immigrants in Montreal, New York City and Paris. I argue that the concept of diaspora provides a framework for understanding Lebanese immigrant experiences, as some immigrants may undergo a process of assimilation while others continue to hold on to their ethnic identities. Proposing that “

Vad kan man lära sig av att spela datorspel? Den som spelar finner nog frågan tämligen ointressant. För spelaren är vitsen med spelandet inte att lära sig något. Meningsfulla frågor är istället: Vad kan jag göra med det här spelet? Vilka regler har jag att förhålla mig till och hur kan jag hantera dem? Hur kan jag komma vidare i spelet? Hur gör jag för att vinna? Många barn och ungdomar, och äve

Genuspedagogiska gärningar. Subversiv och affirmativ aktion tar avstamp i docent Anna Lena Lindbergs pionjärinsats och forskargärning som konsthistoriker. Under rubrikerna Pionjärgärningar, Genus och akademi, Konstpedagogikens möjligheter samt Kvinna och konstnär visar svenska och nordiska konsthistoriker, konstpedagoger, museiintendenter, historiker och etnologer från tre forskargenerationer vad

An experimental technique based on double planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF/PLIF) using two tracers for the measurement of the local concentration of liquid phase in a two-phase system with large bubbles is presented. Fluorescence emission intensity calibration was performed to validate the use of the laser and tracer combinations at each point in the images on two CCD cameras, separately. B

This paper deals with optimal load balancing in telecommunication networks. For a capacitated telecommunications network with single path routing and an estimated traffic demand matrix, we wish to determine the routing paths aiming at min-max optimization of link loads. To solve this problem, we propose a column (path) generation based heuristic. In the first step, we use column generation to solv

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ur ett utvecklingsbiologiskt perspektiv är ångest en primär emotion som är mer eller mindre närvarande hos oss alla. Inom vissa gränser anses en individs vanemässiga ångestnivå vara ett centralt personlighetsdrag av betydelse för individens förmåga att känna oro, uppfatta sin omvärld, och vara känslig för negativa stimuli. Som personlighetsdrag har ångest ofta rapporterThis thesis deals with the problem of interpreting test scores. The intention has been to explore and elucidate the effects of trait anxiety on test scores that have been obtained in applied research settings. Paper I showed that different relationships between personality traits and cognitive functioning emerged in a group of men with solvent induced chronic toxic encephalopathy (TE; N=57) compa

This paper is a component of a three-year empirical study of gaming moms undertaken with the aim to modulate the conventional constructions of gamer identities and examine the contested status of gaming in everyday life. It presents samples of mothers in gaming discourse – from TV, Music-video, forums, and ads. Mothers have been largely invisible in popular gaming discourse or formulaically portra

Ley crops can be grown to provide a substrate for biogas vehicle-fuel production on a range of soils including marginal land. According to EU regulations, such biofuel currently has to achieve an emission reduction of 35%, but tightened goals of 50 and 60% will come into effect as early as 2017. In two field trials (one on marginal soil, one on productive soil) ley crop mixtures were tested and th

We deal with the important applicative problem of distributed cameras calibration. We model a network of N cameras as an undirected graph in which communicating cameras can measure their relative orientation in a noisy way. These measures can be used in order to minimize a suitable cost function. The shape of this cost function depends on a vector of integers K. We propose two algorithms which in
