This thesis takes as its point of departure an elective course in English: 'Drama in Practice - Shakespeare on Stage'. The course combines theory and practice in that it contains (on the one hand) lectures and written work about one of Shakespeare’s comedies, and (on the other hand) an on-stage part with rehearsals of the same play, culminating in a performance, in costume, before an audience. The

Abstract in Undetermined Dygdernas renässans är en antologi som analyserar centrala dygder som exempelvis klokhet, mod, mildhet, lydnad, kyskhet, ödmjukhet och tålamod i ett långt tidsperspektiv och i relation till vår samtid.

Introduction to a selection of the poetry of Hungarian writers Anna Szabó T. and Mónika Mesterházi (in translation into Swedish by Per and Anna Svenson). The introduction sketches the positions of the two poets within Hungarian poetry.

The distribution of Parmelia ernstiae in Denmark and neighbouring areas has been determined from herbarium studies and DNA analyses of fresh material. It occurs on bark, mainly deciduous, and wood, in all parts of the country except for western Jutland.

Verksamhetsteori erbjuder ett kvalitetsverktyg som gör att forskare från olika discipliner och praktiker från olika verksamhetsfält kan mötas i både analys och genomförande. Introduktion till verksamhetsteori ger en överblick över den kulturhistoriska verksamhetsteorins tillkomst, från Vygotskij, Luria och Leontiev fram till våra dagars spännande riktningar inom pedagogik, organisationsteori och

This paper presents an architecture for a SiGe E-band power amplifier using a stacked transformers for output power combination. According to simulations, at E-band frequencies, the power combiner consisting of two individual single turn transformers performs significantly better compared to a single common 2:1 transformer with two turns on the secondary side. The power combination allows for a lo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Föreliggande avhandling behandlar upplevelsen av ångest i stressfulla miljöer. Studierna i avhandlingen fokuserar framförallt på att undersöka två olika frågor. Den första frågan som undersöks är om en ökad ångest som personlighetsdrag kan förutsäga en sämre förmåga att utföra olika exekutiva kontrollfunktioner framförallt relaterade till aktivitet i hjärnan pannlob. DeThe present thesis deals with perspectives of anxiety experienced in stressful environments. As such two major issues are addressed. The first issue is whether increased trait anxiety during work in a high-stress environment is related to impaired performance on executive control tasks. The second issue is whether the characteristic of a stressor and pre-stress individual differences in executive

Nocturnal vision is a demanding task for insects with small eyes. As it gets dimmer the noise imposed by the stochastic nature of photon arrival makes vision unreliable. Despite this, there are quite a number of animal species that are active at night and apparently see well. In this thesis I show that the compound eyes of nocturnal insects are sufficiently flexible to adapt to the particular wind

Limitations on the scattering matrix are derived for a wide class of objects, restricting their broadband interaction with electromagnetic vector spherical waves in terms of their size, shape and static material properties. In particular, it is seen that the order of the dominating term for electrically small objects increases with the order of the spherical wave. The results are applicable to man

Though asthma is a commonly occurring disorder today, the development and introduction of anti-inflammatory drugs in treating it has changed the possibilities of living with it. At the same time, the Swedish guidelines for asthma care have changed: the patient is to take responsibility for her or his chronic illness to attain full quality of life. The study aims to make a cultural analytical inves
