In the “sketch for a personalist aesthetic” in Le Personnalisme (1949), Emmanuel Mounier cautioned that the tendency towards abstraction in modern art was a sign of nihilism; but he also saw in it a promise to reveal a reality which transcends our habitual view of the world. To Mounier, there is a paradox in the nature of art: it is both realist and abstract; it deals with the reality of beings wh

This paper starts off with an editorial sewing circle and a patchwork seminar where participants were invited to contribute to an SMS-embroidery-feuillton by embroidering one of their own text-messages. Whereas research on participatory journalism has been based on established journalistic platforms (Karlsson 2010), this paper tries to understand the gathering, processing and publishing of informa

A personal computer program, FiFi, that makes a real-time, two-dimensional simulation of the dynamic deposition process of particles on a single fibre, has been developed. The formation of dendrites and the particle transport as a function of different parameters are simulated. The trajectory of a spherical particle as a function of external forces and diffusion is calculated by integration and th

There is ample evidence that the Middle East Peace Process (MEPP) has come to a deadlock. Recent turns within peace research towards critical approaches to peacebuilding, as opposed to the liberal peace paradigm, acknowledge the failure of state-oriented practices and advocate for, more or less sophisticated, attempts to capture the local dimension of peacebuilding. In these terms, the focus is on

In this paper, Modelica along with Optimica has been used to formulate and solve a minimum time optimization problem. The problem concerns traversing a given path with a robot in as short time possible under input constraints. Different problem reformulations are discussed that increase the chance of finding optimal solutions. This paper also discusses the use of these optimal solutions for contro

A method for determining evaporation rates and thermodynamic properties of aqueous solution droplets is introduced. The method combines evaporation rate measurements using modified TDMA technique with data evaluation using an accurate evaporation model. The first set of data has been collected and evaluated for succinic acid aqueous solution droplets. Evaporation rates of succinic acid solution d

Resfria möten (RM) är en samlingsterm för möten på distans, i realtid med teknikens hjälp, innefattande telefon-, webb- och videokonferens. Denna rapport beskriver svenska och internationella erfarenheter av dessa mötesformer med fokus på effekter på resandet och utsläpp av klimatgaser. Framtidsprojektioner för resfria mötens effekter 2030 och 2050 görs också.

Using the level crossing technique with parallel magnetic and electric fields the tensor polarizability of the 7 p 2 P 3/2 level in Rb 87 and the 8 p 2 P 3/2 level in Cs 133 was measured with the results α 2 (7 p 2 P 3/2 Rb 87 ) = -3.2 (2) MHz (kV/cm) 2 and α 2 (8 p 2 P 3/2 Rb 133 ) = -7.6 (3) MHz (kV/cm) 2 Theoretical values, calculated with the Coulomb approximation of Bates and Damgaard, agre
