Software Configuration Management (SCM) is an essential part of any software project and its importance is even greater on Agile projects because of the frequency of changes. In this chapter, we argue that SCM needs to be done differently and also cover more aspects on Agile projects. We also explain how SCM processes and tools contribute both directly and indirectly to quality assurance. We give

In this thesis, some of the phenomena occurring in plates and cylindrical bars subjected to dynamic loading are investigated. Numerical simulations using a dynamic finite element code are performed for a number of different sized specimens with various initial surface imperfections. Typically imposed loading velocities are in the range 10m/s

Vad är egentligen socialt arbete? Är det att likna vid en konst där socialarbetaren med fantasi och uppfinningsrikedom skapar relationer till människor som har problem och hjälper dem att hjälpa sig själva? Eller är socialt arbete en profession som baseras på forskning, kunskap och beprövad erfarenhet? Det har länge saknats en grundbok som lyfter fram förhållanden som är specifika för socialt arb

The chuck has for a long time been considered the weakest link of a lathe. This is mainly due to its twofold connection, to the machine spindle on the one hand and to the work-piece on the other. An additional limitation of the chuck lies in the incomplete knowledge one has of the load it is exposed to during operation, which usually leads to a less than optimal machining process. Unless our under

This paper examines mass media coverage of Taiwanese high-level political visits to Japan and critically analyzes the phenomenon of nostalgic repetition as a narrative formula in such sources. Stressing its elements of pathos, nostalgia, and sentimental reassurance, I argue that the repetition formula presents an avenue of immense strategic advantage for visiting pro-independence politicians vis-à

During the latter part of the 19th century a large number of civilian wind bands, spread over a wide geographical area, developed in Sweden. The general section of this thesis describes the beginning of a transformation of the Swedish society into a more urbanized society. The new musical culture which arose among the people – the ”urban-popular” music culture – is brought into focus. The backgrou
