Popular Abstract in Swedish Naturliga störningsregimer är viktiga drivkrafter i vegetationsdynamiken hos de flesta skogstyper jorden runt. Att förstå de rumsliga och tidsmässiga egenskaperna i störningarna, såväl i nutid som i förfluten tid, är viktigt bl a vid utformningen av strategier för naturvård, likväl som för att kunna modellera inflytandet av klimat och människans påverkan. I denna avhandNatural disturbance is an important driving force of community dynamics in many forest types around the globe. Understanding spatial and temporal properties of disturbance events in the present and in the past is important in formulating the nature conservation strategies as well as for the modeling of climate and human impacts on forest vegetation. In this thesis I studied wind and fire disturban

Ibland kan man som lärare undra om man lever som man lär. En sak är i alla fall säker, vi lär som vi lever! Vårt nya stressade levnadssätt påverkar givetvis vårt sätt att lära. Under en kort tidsrymd har tre tekniska produkter påverkat lärandet mer än vad läroplaner eller vetenskapliga pedagogiska genombrott någonsin gjort - datorn, internet och mobiltelefonen. Bodil myntar att vi idag lever på

As technology continues to advance, the use of computers and the Internet in educational environments has immensely increased. But just how effective has their use been in enhancing children's learning? In this thought-provoking book, Christina E. Erneling conducts a thorough investigation of scholarly journal articles on how computers and the Internet affect learning. She critiques the influentia

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det har blivit vanligt med beskrivningar av hur olika trender påverkar det sätt på vilket arbetslivet utformas. I första hand rör det sig om informationsteknikens inflytande inom i stort sett alla samhällsområden men det handlar också om en globaliserad ekonomi, ökad konkurrens, samt strävan efter högre kvalitet och större flexibilitet. Denna utveckling kan förstås som The study explores the interaction of general management ideas like TQM (here referred to as technocratic visions) and microprocesses of narrating and organizing in two different contexts: the public sector (health care) and the private sector (manufacturing) in Sweden. The purpose is to provide a better understanding of what happens when models of this type are introduced into a work organization

Popular Abstract in Swedish Modellering och krav för automation av gradningsprocessAn increasing number of robots have been used for the finishing of castings during recent years. This is mainly due to developments to overcome problems that restricted their use during the past decade. The major difficulties have been the need to control reaction forces during metal removing by grinding operations and the lack of tools designed specially for robots. The elimination of these two p

This chapter discusses the research project "Heteronormativity: An Interdisciplinary and Empirical Approach", funded by the Swedish Research Council in 2000-2005.

The paper deals with the structure-motion problem for uncalibrated cameras, in the case that subsidiary information is available, consisting, for example, in known coplanarities or parallelities among points in the scene, or known positions of some focal points (hand-eye calibration). Despite unknown camera calibrations, it is shown that in many instances the subsidiary information makes affine or
