This dissertation reports on a study of reform processes in public organisations. It describes how two municipalities planned and attempted the introduction of the purchaser-supplier model. This type of reform reflects one important contemporary idea - that of the market as an all-encompassing institution. The study focuses on the very process of reforming, with the aim of providing an alternative

An introduction to the avantgarde films of Swedish-German writer and filmmaker Peter Weiss (1916 - 1982)
This Ph.D. submission deals with contemporary demonstration culture and political activism, seen as performance through performance. It consists of both a practical and a theoretical part. These are intertwined on various levels of the project. My submission, however, is made up of the two following parts: 1: A textual part, divided into 8 parts. Each part contains a script, an analysis and a nu
Idag utvecklas inom olika områden nya tänkesätt och handlingsmönster som bygger på helhet, integration och fokusering av flöden. I framtiden kommer konkurrensen att ske mellan olika kedjor av företag, inte mellan enskilda företag. Traditionella organisationsgränser och mål är i dessa nya sammanhang av underordnad betydelse. De nya tänkesätten gör förädlings-/försörjningskedjan mer effektiv. De in
This thesis deals with the growth, processing and characterization of nano-sized structures, eg., self-assembled quantum dots and nano-wires. Such structures are promising candidates for the realization of nano-scale electronic and optical devices, like for instance single electron transistors, resonant tunneling devices, and single photon emitters. For such purposes, the main focus of this work h
Popular Abstract in Swedish Östersjön är ett grundhav med tillförsel av saltvatten från havet och sötvatten från omgivande floder. De två vattenmassorna är vertikalt skiktade, vilket resulterar i en estuarin cirkulation, vilken har genomgått stora förändringar till följd av landhöjningen efter senaste nedisningen. För att kunna rekonstruera havsmiljöers förändringar bakåt i tiden är det nödvändigtThe Baltic Sea is a continental shelf sea that is influenced by both river runoff and marine water. The two water masses are vertically stratified in the Baltic Sea, resulting in a positive, estuarine circulation system, which has undergone changes in the past due to isostatic uplift of the Baltic basin. For researchers to understand past changes in the marine environment of the Baltic Sea, a soun

In this work the intermetallic systems formed by transition-metals from group 5 to 9 with Ga, In and Zn have been experimentally and theoretically studied in detail. Syntheses, compositional analyses, X-ray and neutron diffraction (single crystal as well as powder) and measurements of physical properties, e.g. magnetic susceptibility and resistivity has been made for all compounds. Electronic-stru
Software Engineering has been a fundamental part of many computing undergraduate courses for a number of years. Although many of the tools and techniques used to undertake software engineering have changed, the assessment has typically stayed the same. Students are commonly tasked with producing a number of software artefacts, for example designs using the Unified Modelling Language (UML). We rece
