Travelling Savage Spaces: Jean de Léry and the “Antarctic France”, Brazil 1555–60

The paper compares Jean de Léry's account of his experiences of the French colonization of the coast of Brazil in the mid 16th century with the account made by his contemporary André Thevet. Instead of focussing on how the native tribes were depicted in icolonial discourse or how they were treated in reality, this analysis brings to the fore how the description of space from the point of view of t

An Authoring Discourse of Sorts: Effects of public film support on a national cinema (invited paper presentation)

In the cinemas of small nations, infrastructural support systems aimed at endorsing and strengthening audiovisual production, tend to play an increasingly pivotal role. Since additional systems have been added, with the intent to, for instance, encourage co-production or to attract filming and post-production work to assorted places – and always coming with various provisions attached – one may sp

On the efficiency and gain of antennas

The fundamental limits of the gain and efficiency of an antenna are explored. The antenna is confined in a sphere and all of the currents are assumed to run in a material with a conductivity that is a function of the radial coordinate. The analysis is based on the expansion of the electromagnetic fields in terms of vector spherical harmonics. Explicit expressions for the limits of gain and efficie

On the Erasure-Correcting Capabilities of Low-Complexity Decoded LDPC Codes with Constituent Hamming Codes

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes can be constructed using constituent block codes other than single parity-check (SPC) codes. This paper considers random LDPC codes with constituent Hamming codes and investigates their asymptotic performance over the binary erasure channel. It is shown that there exist Hamming code-based LDPC codes which, when decoded with a low-complexity iterative algorithm

Observed pronunciation features in Swedish L2 produced by L1-speakers of Albanian

The number of immigrants with Albanian L1 has increased in Sweden during the last two decades. This particular group is also present in the SFI-classroom. This contribution aims to present typical pronunciation features in L2-Swedish produced by Albanian L1-speakers, based on recordings of two Albanian speakers living in Sweden.

The concept of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has been underpining recycling/waste/product policy of a number of countries over the past two decades. However, it is considered that the understanding of the concept varies. This presents the findings from a survey conducted in Japan in 2013 to find out the actual perceptions of various stakeholders in Japan. It is part of a global survey con
