Mötet mellan väst och öst i modern arabisk littetatur eller konfrontationen mellan arabvärlden, eller islam, och väst har utmärkts och utmärks fortfarande av ett harmoniskt förhållande parallelt med en turbulent väg.

This paper centers in on the production of the experimental film The Train (1948) and the negotiations between the Swedish filmmaker Gösta Werner and the commissioner, The Swedish State Railways. Although recent developments in film studies show an upsurge of interest in the previously neglected field of the sponsored film, in-depth case studies of the relationship between commissioners and avant-

The core objective of this article is to develop and apply a framework based on institutional theory for investigating and exploring how boards of directors respond to changes in the national pattern of corporate governance. In contrast to most models of institutional changes that are based on the structure of the change process, our framework focuses on the content of institutional changes in ter

Can we be mistaken or ignorant about the meaning of our own words? This dissertation explores this question. More specifically it investigates to what extent and in what sense, if at all, the semantic meaning of religious and existentially important words – like ‘God’, ‘friendship’, ‘justice’ or ‘life’ – can be recognition-transcendent to the competent user of them. The possibility of words having

Tubes fabricated from dilute Zr-alloys serve as miniature pressure vessels in Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors and are subjected to stress, aqueous corrosion and intense irradiation during service. Hydrogen evolved during the corrosion reaction may enter into the material and precipitate as hydride phase, which acquire platelet shaped morphology in Zr-alloys and are known to embrittle the host mat

This paper is engaged with the politics of belonging among Kurdish youth. It aims to discuss how Kurdish identity and subjectivity can be understood following Antonio Gramsci within practices of hegemony and the ways the subalternity of Kurds as a stateless people are produced in everyday life. I will use narrative accounts of young Kurdish men and women to discuss experiences of denial by dominan

We present a synchrotron-based XPS investigation on the interface between InAs and Al2O3 or HfO2 layers, deposited by ALD at different temperatures, for InAs substrates with different surface orientations as well as for InAs nanowires. We reveal the composition of the native Oxide and how the high-k layer deposition reduces Oxide components. We demonstrate some of the advantages in using synchrotr

An illustrated key is presented for the fifteen West Palearctic species and subspecies of the genera Ctenophora, Dictenidia, Phoroctenia and Tanyptera, with a review of their distribution and an overview of the recent literature for these taxa.

Att rasistiska och sexistiska uttryck fått en annan plats i vår gemensamma värld än tidigare är uppenbart. Men i en aktuell rapport om nätextremism använder sig Statens medieråd av samma lättmanipulerade mätmetod som de utpekade extremistsajterna själva. Regeringen borde inte ta emot en rapport där vi kan läsa att nätet är fullt av nazister utan att egentligen veta hur sant det är.

The relation between low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and hypergraphs supports searching for powerful LDPC codes based on hypergraphs. On the other hand, coding theory methods can be used in searching for hypergraphs with large girth. Moreover, compact representations of hypergraphs based on convolutional codes can be found. Algorithms for iteratively constructing LDPC codes with large girths
