Arbetsmarknadens parter etablerade sig som kraftfulla aktörer på yrkesutbildningens område i början av 1940-talet med utgångspunkt från arbetsmarknadens krav och behov av utbildad arbetskraft. Huvuddelen av utbildningen skedde i företag på arbetsmarknadens villkor och kontakterna med andra delar av utbildningssystemet var mycket begränsad. Egentligen uppfattades yrkesutbildningen vid den tiden kna

The term Anthropocene denotes a new geological epoch characterized by the unprecedented impact of human activities on the Earth’s ecosystems. While the natural sciences have advanced their understanding of the drivers and processes of global change considerably over the last two decades, the social sciences lag behind in addressing the fundamental challenge of governance and politics in the Anthro

The struggle for equality is fundamental to the reduction of poverty in Central America. Besides, one of the foremost goals of urban spatial planning, when implementing social policies, is to contribute to the reduction of poverty. This is done by producing a list of territorially-based actions and selecting those suitable for the implementation of social policies developed at national level. Howe

The secondary clarifier or settler is crucial for the whole activated sludge operation. Consequently, it is important to obtain a reliable analytical model as well as a useful numerical method, which can be used in the automatic control of the settling process. Discontinuities (shocks) appear physically, and an analytical description as well as a stable numerical algorithm must be able to handle t

This paper explores the linguistic encoding of placement and removal events in Swedish. Drawing on elicited spoken data, it provides a unified approach to caused motion descriptions. The results show uniform syntactic behaviour of placement and removal descriptions and a consistent asymmetry between placement and removal in the semantic specificity of verbs. The results also reveal three further s

The Television Studies Reader offers students a roadmap to contemporary issues in the expanding and dynamic field of television studies. Thirty eight cutting edge essays lay out a wide array of approaches to the study of the changing phenomenon that is 'television around the world.'

This thesis shows how artificial neural networks (ANNs) can be applied to predict geomagnetic activity from solar-wind data. It introduces and summarizes five papers where development of ANN models are reported, and where predictions of geomagnetic activity are discussed. The studies cover geomagnetic disturbances characterized by global-scale indices and geomagnetic variations that are locally ob
