Under det senaste decenniet har mångfaldsbegreppet gjort sitt inträde i den svenska samhällsdebatten. Begreppet kan definieras på en rad olika sätt: i denna avhandling står den etniska aspekten i fokus. Mångfaldsidén är nära förknippad med en rad olika samhällstrender av betydelse såsom demografisk förändring, ekonomisk strukturomvandling, organisationsförändring och debatten om diskriminering och

On the production of short films within the contemporary Swedish film production setup. Moreover, the reliance on film festivals for screenings and that shorts are part of a particularly "European art cinema institution" is discussed

This paper presents a receiver architecture for intraband dual-carrier reception as specified for the upcoming releases of 3GPP WCDMA and LTE standards. It is based on a time-discrete harmonic rejection complex-IF mixer to limit the bandwidth requirements on the ADCs to that of a single carrier. The mixer has been designed and fabricated together with a 3rd order continuous-time (CT) delta-sigma A

The type of mixed mode fracture, which is of a main interest for concrete, is a type of fracture, where shear as well as tensile stresses act in a damage zone, which has been created due to pure tensile stresses, and which is perpendicular to the direction of these stresses. While this damage zone still transfers tensile stresses, a shear deformation takes place, which also causes shear stresses.

Svensk universitetsgrammatik för nybörjare presenterar på ett resonerande sätt grunderna i svensk grammatik. Utgångspunkten är den traditionella grammatiken, men hänsyn tas också till nyare landvinningar inom den moderna grammatikforskningen. Boken riktar sig i första hand till studerande i ämnena svenska och nordiska språk vid universitet och hörskolor. Den innehåller rikligt med exempel och är u

We investigate if we can find evidence of house effects in Swedish political opinion polls from 2006 to 2014. In order to respect the inherent restriction of the simplex sample space, we apply compositional data analysis and Aitchison geometry. We use compositional locally weighted regression (C-loess) to estimate the share of voters for each party at given dates, a poll of polls. The estimated sh

In this work, we propose a computationally efficient time-updating algorithm for estimating the spectral content of a signal with missing samples. The algorithm extends earlier work on the topic by formulating a data-interpolation scheme reducing the required complexity to a fraction of the earlier efficient implementation, without resulting in any noticeable loss of performance for even a quite l

This chapter analyses horizontal institutional interlinkages by stressing their embeddedness in overarching global norms. It explains the nature of institutional interlinkages in various policy domains, and their consequences for the development of specific global regimes. We explore, in particular, how certain dominant global norms may be reflected in the positional differences (and their resolut
