Studier i svensk språkhistoria 8 är en rapport från konferensen Svenska språkets historia 8 som avhölls i Lund 21-22 maj 2004. Temat för konferensen var Språkförändring på olika nivåer i språket. Tanken var att fokusera på språkförändringsmekanismer i ett brett perspektiv och på alla språkliga nivåer. I detta syfte hade konferensen fyra plenarföreläsningar; en vardera inom fonologi, lexikon, synta
Industrial robots play a key role in manufacturing systems. Robots are distinguished from other types of machinery mainly on the basis of their programmability and ability to be adaptable to different tasks. The use of computer control to achieve desired flexibility implies that software issues for embedded control systems are central for the applicability and utilization of the equipment. The str
The steel- and metal industry has an extensive production processing comprising many different process steps of solid, gaseous and liquid nature. Thus it is obvious that a number of different measurement technologies must be used to collect and evaluate key physical parameters which are necessary to control the production processes. In this respect, the software to monitor the processes have, duri
Archaeology is about human beings – in the present and in the past. When we concern ourselves with archaeology we have to imagine prehistoric human beings thinking, feeling and acting. This imagining is the very precondition for the creation of meaning from the fragments and traces of human lives that we choose as our data. What kind of images of human beings do we create through the writing and r
This thesis consists of five empirical essays dealing with different issues related to financial markets. Chapter 2 studies a new multivariate technique, Orthogonal GARCH, of forecasting large covariance matrices based on GARCH models. Orthogonal GARCH is built on principal component analysis and makes the creation of positive definite covariance matrices of arbitrary size possible. An important d
This thesis contains three papers about three different estimates of resolvents in harmonic analysis. These papers are: Paper 1. ``A Wiener tauberian theorem for weighted convolution algebras of zonal functions on the automorphism group of the unit disc'' Paper 2. ``Uniform spectral radius and compact Gelfand transform'' Paper 3. ``Decomposable extension of the Cesáro operator on the weighted B
This monograph analyses marine gathering in the Polynesian Kingdom of Tonga from ecological, social and cognitive perspectives. The overarching issues explored are (1) the significance of marine gathering in the past and present, (2) how seaweeds and marine invertebrates have been perceived, classified, named and used, (3) how they have been implicated in social relations, and (4) how the integrat
The interaction between two colloids with grafted polyelectrolytes in aqueous solution is studied within the primitive model by Monte Carlo simulations. For neutral colloids with grafted polyelectrolytes and in absence of salt the interaction is strongly repulsive in absence of salt. The interaction depends on the extension of the polyelectrolytes from the surfaces and the interaction is derived a
Denna uppsats består av en språksociologisk undersökning av namngivning och namntrender. Hur tänker vi när vi namnger våra barn? Är det viktigt att låta namn gå arv? Är det viktigt att vara originell? Hur mycket styr trender oss i våra namnval? Detta är några av de frågor jag har undersökt.
Denna studie behandlar ämnesintegrering utifrån olika svensk- och musiklärares perspektiv. Tre lärare med ämneskombinationen har intervjuats. I denna studie har jag valt att undersöka vilka metoder som används i ämnesintegrerad undervisning för musik och svenska. Jag har även valt att undersöka vilka möjligheter och hinder som finns med ett sådant arbetssätt. För att undersöka ämnesintegrering äve
