Distribute white and black hats in a dark room to a group of three rational players with each player having a fifty-fifty chance of receiving a hat of one colour or the other. Clearly, the chance that, as a result of this distribution, (A) "Not all hats are of the same colour" is 3/4. The light is switched on and all players can see the hats of the other persons, but not the colour of their own ha
Gender scholarship has identified how paid care work reproduces male dominance and reinforces women's subordination, but also how labour and workplaces provide a critical space for women through the development of new forms of identity and struggle. In this ethnographic study of Swedish nurses' work, the concept of normative femininity is used in order to explore gender, labour, and changing relat
Popular Abstract in Swedish Sociala rättigheter och socialt medborgarskap är begrepp som ofta används för att beskriva den svenska välfärdsstaten. I ett internationellt perspektiv utpekas den svenska välfärdspolitiken som generell, generös och nästintill universell. Men i början av 1990-talet genomgick den svenska välfärdsstaten en djup kris. Arbetslösheten steg snabbt och sysselsättningen sjönk. Universalism, social rights and social citizenship are often considered as key concepts to describe the Swedish welfare state. However, in the beginning of the 1990s, the Swedish welfare state experienced a severe economic recession. In only a couple of years, the unemployment rate increased sharply as well as the number of social assistance recipients. These changes constitute the background for
Inventory control is a crucial activity for many companies. Given the recent advances in information technology, there have never been greater opportunities for coordinated inventory control across supply chain facilities. But how do we design efficient control methods and policies that take advantage of the detailed information that is now becoming available? This doctoral thesis investigates the
Popular Abstract in Swedish Fotosyntesen kan delas in i ljusreaktioner och mörkerreaktioner. I mörkerreaktionerna fixeras luftens koldioxid till kolhydrater med hjälp av den kemiska energin, ATP och NADPH, som bildas i ljusreaktionerna. I ljusreaktionerna används ljus som energikälla. Ljus skickas iväg ifrån solen som en blandning av ljus med olika våglängder. Synligt ljus har våglängder mellan unJust as all other organisms, plants adapt to various environmental conditions. This work focuses on the role of chloroplast light harvesting complex II, LHCII, in adaptation of photosynthesis to changed light conditions. The two photosystems of oxygenic photosynthesis, photosystem I and II, use light of slightly different wavelengths for photochemistry. Since the photosystems are coupled in serie
Hur kan man leda och organisera granskning för att säkra oberoende och kvalitet? Hur ska oberoendet regleras och organiseras, och vad betyder kultur och ledarskap? I boken utvecklas ett ramverk för att förstå dessa frågor. Vidare diskuteras betydelsen av olika vägval avseende granskningsinriktning och externa relationer. Boken utgår från fallet Riksrevisionen och dess vägval under de första tio å
Popular Abstract in Swedish Neuroblastom, när utvecklingen går fel Neuroblastom är en tumörsjukdom som drabbar små barn och i Sverige diagnosticeras ungefär 14 barn med neuroblastom varje år. Neuroblastomtumörerna utvecklas under anläggningen av det sympatiska nervsystemet, som är en del av det icke-viljestyrda nervsystemet och har till uppgift att anpassa kroppens svar på stress och fara genom atThe childhood malignancy neuroblastoma develops from early cells of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), and the tumors often produce catecholamines. Neuroblastoma cells retain several characteristics of immature sympathetic cells including the expression of a number of transcription factors normally expressed during embryogenesis. The genesis of the SNS requires the correct expression pattern of
The paper presents a feedback scheduling mechanism in the context of co-design of the scheduler and the control tasks. We are particularly interested in controllers where the execution time may change abruptly between different modes, such as in hybrid controllers. The proposed solution attempts to keep the CPU utilization at a high level, avoid overload, and distribute the computing resources eve
This paper presents a practical risk analysis method for critical, large-scale IT systems in an organisation. The method is based on reliability block diagram modelling and was adapted to fit the requirements of governmental organisations and to reduce the effort required to capture complex failure behaviour. Through the use of different failure categories the risk analysis can be simplified, the
This book is a collection of essays and articles on warfare, from Roman antiquity to the early modern era. Most articles are focused on medieval warfare, such as the battles of Hastings, Durben and Nicopolis, the myth of chivalry, the career of Joan of Arc, the Varangian guard, the Scanian campaign of 1452, the crusades, the tactics of the Burgundian army in the fifteenth century and the nuns' reb
