Over the past few years, we have witnessed a growing popularity of new wireless architectures such as 3G, Wi-Fi and Wi-Max due to the increase in demand for wireless Internet access. The all-IP based future mobile and wireless network model is expected to be the most dominant architecture for QoS provisioning in next-generation wireless networks, mainly due to its scalability and capability of int

In the debate on how to make democracy strong against terrorism, it has been suggested that the Western democracies need new protective measures. This paper argues that, far from protecting democracy, such measures may in fact undermine the very values and virtues that make democracy possible. Information freedom, the right to due process and the protection of privacy are all fundamental for the

As Rubenson has argued, "the main problem with life long learning is that it fails to critically assess how conditions for individual development, ethnic and social background, previous schooling and working life conditions create very different preconditions for life long learning" (Rubenson, 1996, p. 43). Using longitudinal data from the Malmö Longitudinal Study, the paper clarifies how differen

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med avhandlingen var att öka förståelsen för socialt stöd för fysisk aktivitet bland ungdomar, då det råder motstridiga uppgifter när det gäller betydelsen av socialt stöd. Tre empiriska studier ingår i avhandlingen och samtliga problematiserar kring betydelsen av det sociala stödet för fysisk aktivitet bland ungdomar under gymnasietiden. Studie I är en kvantitThe aim of the present thesis was to enhance our understanding of social support for physical activity among adolescents. Earlier findings show inconsistent results with regard to the importance of social support. The present thesis includes three empirical studies examining adolescents (16-18 years) during their years in high-school. Study I was a cross-sectional quantitative study that concluded

This paper explores the idea that abstract Agree is a precondition on Merge and an integrated part of it. That is, an element F merges with the structure X only if the relation of Agree holds between the two (the Agree Condition on Merge). The relation of Agree holds between F and X iff X contains an active feature fx that matches F. Move is forced by an inactive intervener ?x between F and fx, wh

This paper describes a case study on quality monitoring conducted in an industrial environment. In a highly iterative project, everything seems to happen at the same time; analysis, design and testing. In the study, data collected from three software development projects is analyzed, to investigate which characteristics are stable across projects and feature groups of the product. Design and test
