One of the main themes in modern Islamic debate has been the relationship between universal and cultural particularistic norms regulating human affairs, the sphere which in classical Islamic tradition is designated as mu´amalat. A recurrent topic of contest has been the universal character of international conventions on human rights. In this paper I will discuss two attempts at accommodation by

This paper presents principal design structures for scalable distributed power systems (DPS) focusing on information flow and management enabling "plug and produce" capabilities. The purpose is a general structure that should be appropriate independent of system capacity. The main needs in future market and power system requires a feasible solution that is adequate in scalability and flexibility f

This article is concerned with what conditions successful development of high-tech regions in developing countries. It argues that the recent regional turn in development studies should be welcomed as regions play an increasingly important role for high-tech industries in developed and developing countries. While acknowledging the insights stemming from the regional turn the article nevertheless a

In this paper, we argue for the design of off-task interaction in technology enchanced learning. This implies a rethinking of pedagogy which can substantially contribute to achieving specific learning goals. We describe a work-in-progress and provide concrete examples of how we deal with relevant issues raised by allowing for off-task interactions in an educational math game as an integrated learn

Popular Abstract in Swedish Nästa år är det 400 år sedan Galileo Galilei för första gången riktade ett teleskop mot objekt på himlen. Allt sedan dess har teleskopet varit det viktigaste instrumentet för astronomins utveckling och med dess hjälp har vår kunskap om universum revolutionerats. Tack vare utvecklingen av teleskopet under dessa århundraden har allt ljussvagare objekt kunnat studeras, ochThis thesis presents the work on the design of, construction of, and finally observations with, an experimental setup comprising a small telescope equipped with adaptive optics. The facility has been assembled at Lund Observatory, where also observations on the sky have been made. The aim of this project was to gain hands-on knowledge in the development of a real adaptive optics system and eventua

Scanias motormonteringsverkstad i Södertälje använder sig av en motorpall för att internt hantera motorer. Motorpallen används även externt som transportemballage för motorleveranser tex. till Scanias slutmonteringsenheter. Motorpallen är anpassad till samtliga Scanias motorer och är tillverkad av stål. Scania uppskattar att totalt 2 500 motorpallar cirkulerar i det slutna flödet och att kostnaden
