This paper describes and analyzes the strategies and efforts of a public organization in order to establish organizational credibility in multicultural areas. The trust-building efforts by the organization, a local rescue services in the south of Sweden, are a response to several years of social unrest, communicative clashes and hostile treatment between operative firemen and residents in areas of
It is shown that a general form of Popov multipliers can be used in stability analysis based on integral quadratic constraints (IQC). The Popov multiplier is nonproper and a condition that the nominal plant is strictly proper will be imposed in order to ensure boundedness of the IQC corresponding to the Popov multiplier. A consequence of our main result is that the classical Popov criterion can be
This paper presents an energy efficient adaptive QR decomposition scheme for Long Term Evolution Advance (LTE-A) downlink system. The proposed scheme provides a performance robustness to fluctuating wireless channels while maintaining lower workload on a reconfigurable hardware. A statistic based algorithm-switching strategy is employed in the scheme to achieve workload reduction and stable comput
An optimal stochastic control problem that minimizes the probability that a signal upcrosses a level is solved by rewriting it as a one-parametric optimization problem over a set of LQG control problem solutions. Finding the optimal controller can be interpreted as finding an optimal costing transfer function. The existence of the optimal controller is investigated in a constructive way, and it is
A growing body of studies emphasizes the discovery of opportunities and the decision to exploit them as the essence of entrepreneurial activity. Following this stream of research, we present a study of the influence of entrepreneurs’ career experience and career motives on two alternative modes of decision making logic; causation and effectuation. Causal reasoning is a process that rests on logic

Carpets have been important motives in the visual arts since the Renaissance (Holbein, Lotto, Vermeer), and they were especially made prominent through 19th century Orientalism (Delacroix, Gérôme, Cézanne). The influence on painters and writers was thorough and the carpet, now more than just a motive, became a model and instrument for images. This tendency was termed the “carpet paradigm” by Josep
