This paper presents an approach to teaching programming and abstract thinking to young learners using Scala and Kojo. Kojo is an open source IDE for the Scala programming language. The approach is based on Scala APIs for turtle graphics and functional pictures, a process of interactive exploration and discovery, and structured learning material that guides learners. The approach encourages playful

Född i Preußisch Stargard 1883 och avliden i Stockholm 1942 tillhör Saul en av de Sveriges musikaktörer som under första hälften på 1900-talet aktivt kämpade för att förmedla en kontinental musiksyn och att gestalta och utveckla det svenska musik- och framför allt körlivet enligt de nyaste trenderna söderifrån. Artikeln tar upp ett flertal intressanta aspekter om Sauls musikaliska verksamhet i Sve

It has become a necessity to use on-chip inductors in radio frequency integrated circuits. Particularly oscillators need inductors to archive high performance. In LC oscillators the quality factor of the inductor is critical to the phase noise performance, and since the self-resonance frequency of the inductor will limit the operating frequency and tuning range of the oscillator, careful optimizat

Den nya svenska filmen följer de senaste årens utveckling i den svenska filmkulturen. Oerhört mycket har hänt. Aldrig någonsin tidigare har svenskarna tittat så mycket på rörliga bilder. I boken ställs frågor om vithet, brott, främlingskap, sexualitet, funktionshinder och det rämnande folkhemmet i filmer om allt från Sverige under andra världskriget till den nya politiska samtiden i Millennium-tri

We extend Cover's two-look Gaussian channel to dispersive, linear, time-invariant channels. An arbitrary number of colored, additive, stationary, Gaussian noise/interference sources is considered. Each noise/interference source may cause correlated or uncorrelated components observed by the two looks. The novelty of this work is a capacity formula derived using the asymptotic eigenvalue distributi

Extreme weather events have the potential to cause serious harm and can contribute to displacement. Such events are expected to increase in frequency and/or intensity as a consequence of climate change. It is therefore of concern that there is widely considered to be a protection gap when affected individuals cross an international border. However, apart from a handful of cases in Australia and Ne

How can an argument that is based on assumptions known to be false deliver any insightful conclusions let alone be used for policy recommendations? Over the years, a variety of concerns regarding (micro-)economic modelling and its relevance for real life have been expressed along these lines. Adding to this methodological discussion, I take seriously the recurrent comparison of economic models wit
