During the last two decades there has been an increasing tendency to regard reading and writing as linguistic activities. In numerous studies, pre-school children’s linguistic and metalinguistic abilities have been related to their emerging reading and writing skills during the first school years. However, the frequency of such studies tends to decrease as the children grow older, and there are ve

The evolution of a system for the management of fatigue-related risks in airline and maintenance operations is at present a contentious issue. The aspirations for the integration of fatigue risk management processes into existing Safety Management System (SMS) guidelines need to be placed in the realities of the present economic and commercial environment – they therefore need to exhibit relevance

The electromagnetic scattering properties of red blood cells were analyzed by three different methods. The finite-different time-domain method is a general and flexible approach and enables accurate simulations of scattering from objects with arbitrary shape. This method was compared with two approximate methods: the Rytov approximation and the Discrete Dipole Approximation. The interaction of light

This report was developed as course literature for a masters program at the IIIEE. It contains an overview over the state of the art of environmental accounting as it stood in 1996. Methods such as Total Cost Assessment, Full Cost Accounting and Life Cycle Analysis/Assessment/Costing are discussed, as well as environmental disclosure in annual reports.

Amperometric carbon paste peroxide sensors based on horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were developed. In the first approach, HRP was chemically modified with polyethylene glycol to improve the stability of the enzyme in the organic paste matrix and compared with native HRP electrode. In the second approach, HRP was "wired" with a redox polymer containing a covalently bound phenoxazine type mediator, to

Essays on Swedish poet and essayist Vilhelm Ekelund (1880-1949), concerning central thematics, realtion to certain other writers, impact and hsitorry of reception

In line with current tendencies of ‘new governance’, this article will introduce a novel judicial tool which strikes a balance between the respect for national assessments and the effective implementation of Union law. This balance can be struck through the demands of structural guarantees; administrative safeguards, which weed out arbitrary national decision-making. The provision of transparent a

The success of many modelling studies strongly depends on the availability of sufficiently long influent time series - the main disturbance of a typical wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) - representing the inherent natural variability at the plant inlet as accurately as possible. This is an important point since most modelling projects suffer from a lack of realistic data representing the infl

Heldagsseminariet tar upp de fyra olika arrendeformerna: jordbruks-, bostads-, anläggnings och lägenhetsarrende. Arrendefrågor är särskilt aktuell detta år, eftersom det har lagts en spännande utredningsbetänkande om besittningsskydd och avgiftsbestämning, och det kommer vi förstås att presentera under dagen. Vi strävar efter en allsidig behandling av ämnet och att verkligen försöka förena teori o
