Om erotik, makt och sexualbrottens sexualitet

In this chapter I examine the concept of sexual offenses in Swedish criminal law: How is the sexuality of sexual offenses constructed? The material analyzed consists of preparatory works and case law on sexual offenses. Inspired by law professor Katherine M. Franke, the analysis is theoretically grounded in two diverse understandings of sexuality: Sexuality as erotic and sexuality as a dense trans

Threshold Saturation for Spatially Coupled Turbo-like Codes over the Binary Erasure Channel

In this paper we prove threshold saturation for spatially coupled turbo codes (SC-TCs) and braided convolutional codes (BCCs) over the binary erasure channel. We introduce a compact graph representation for the ensembles of SC-TC and BCC codes which simplifies their description and the analysis of the message passing decoding. We demonstrate that by few assumptions in the ensembles of these codes,

Mr. Ainu - cultural mobilization and the practice of ethnicity in a hierarchical culture

This thesis discusses cultural change among the Ainu, Japan's indigenous people, its specificity and the circumstances that have led to it. Fieldwork was conducted in Hokkaido, the main territory of the Ainu, during a period of 12 months, stretching from 1985 to 1988. Focusing on strategies makes it possible to lay bare the multiple nature of agency that characterize the interaction between, the A

Postmodern teologi

For almost forty years the seemingly harmless term “postmodern” has sown discord and ruffled feathers in the intellectual world. Mere sight of the term has caused some commentators to see red in more than one sense: “postmodernism” for them embodies the utter degeneracy of the 1960s Left. For their part, more than a few commentators on the left have associated the term with the neoliberal climate

Analysis of a novel low complex SNR estimation technique for OFDM systems

Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimation is commonly used in wireless receivers to enhance the performance in different ways. In this paper a novel low complexity SNR estimator for OFDM is proposed. The estimator might be implemented using floating point representation or by using only the sign-bit, and can if desired be effectively implemented by reconfiguring the standard correlator used for time-

3D models and archaeological investigation

The introduction and the diffusion of digital technology have strongly affected the way archaeologists manage and perceive the information detected during the field investigation process. In the last two decades digital instruments have been used in archaeology at any level, and their constant employment increased the opportunities for researchers and scholars to detect, document, analyse and visu

Optimizing viewing procedures of breast tomosynthesis image volumes using eye tracking combined with a free response human observer study

The purpose of this study was to evaluate four different viewing procedures as part of improving viewing conditions of breast tomosynthesis (BT) image volumes. The procedures consisted of free scroll volume browsing, and a combination of initial cine loops at three different frame rates (9, 14 and 25 fps) terminated upon request followed by free scroll volume browsing. Fifty-five normal BT image v

Robustness analysis of bridge when exposed to train collision due to derailment

This paper considers evaluation of structural robustness for a multi-span concrete bridge crossing multiple rail tracks, in particular the effect of extraordinary exposures on the bridge system. A case study is performed investigating the bridge system’s response to a train collision caused by derailment in an area near the bridge supports. The probability of such an event occurring is estimated f

Peas and pancakes. On apparent disagreement and (null) light verbs in Swedish

Two variants of what looks like disagreement between a subject and a predicative adjective are explored: (i) Senap är gul-t. mustard.COMMON is yellow-NEUT ‘Mustard is yellow.’ = Construction NOM(inal) (ii) Två älskare är omoralisk-t. [two lovers]COMMON.PL is immoral-NEUT ‘To have two lovers is immoral.’ = Construction PROP(ositional) Having shown how Construction NOM and Construction PR
