The purpose of this paper is to discuss the find of a Byzantine solidus in Guleboda, Älmeboda parish, southern Småland. This coin was found in an area that has never been central in any respect, and where at first sight there hardly seems to have been any Iron Age settlement at all. The purpose of the article is to try to contextualize the find. Other finds from the same site are discussed as well

This chapter reassesses the modernization processes at work in Republican China during the Warlord period between 1911 and 1927 by focusing on corporate, public action by non-state interest groups and organizations. In particular, it looks at modes of corporate governing at the interface of business/economy and education: the realm of vocational education. The chapter examines a particularly illum

The aim of this sociology of law-orientated article is to analyse and describe legislative and regulatory processes concerning the task given to schools focusing on environment and sustainable development. We are describing the policy-making processes in this field from 1990 to 2011. The study involves key interviews and content analysis of national policy documents as well as legal sources, in or

We report on a low-temperature magnetoconductance study to characterize the electrical and spin transport properties of n-type InAs nanowires grown by chemical beam epitaxy. A gate-controlled crossover from weak localization to weak antilocalization is observed. The measured magnetoconductance data agrees well with theory for one-dimensional quasi-ballistic systems and yields a spin relaxation len

Det svenska samhället har utvecklats till ett krissamhälle. Ett av dess kännetecken är att politiken blir annorlunda. Realpolitik och politisk retorik glider isär. Kanske är det en postmodern politik vi ser växa fram när politikens båda världar, den reella respektive virtuella politiska verkligheten, differentieras alltmer? Kravet på sammanhang dem emellan försvagas, förmedlingarna mellan dem uppl

Jurisdiction is a composite term referring to that which is right (jus) and that which is said (dicere). It is decisive for any consideration of jurisdiction whether one chooses to subordinate jus to dicere, or dicere to jus. As the law is always anterior to a pronouncement of justice based on it, the choice of subordination decides whether one lets the past rule over the present, or the present r

Popular Abstract in English The main reason that we humans exist at all is because of photosynthesis. The food we eat, the oxygen we breath, most of the energy that warms our homes and powers our electronics are all products of photosynthesis. Over millions of years, plants, algae and some bacteria have developed biomachinery to harness solar energy and thrive. They do this by fixing carbon into cAlmost all life on Earth depends on the products of photosynthesis — the biochemical process whereby solar energy is stored as chemical-rich compounds. The energy of captured photons is transferred through a network of pigment-protein complexes towards the reaction center. The reaction center is responsible for trans-membrane charge separation, which generates a proton motive force which drives al

The equation-based Modelica language allows the modeller to specify custom functions. The body of a function is an algorithm that contains procedural code to be executed when the function is called. This language feature is useful for many applications; however, the insertion of a function often prevent model optimizations that require the model to be formulated in purely declarative form by equat
