We have developed a tandem of undergraduate courses for teaching XP and coaching of XP teams. This paper focuses on the coaching course and the coaching practices we have developed. The tandem of courses enables us to give a challenging and interesting course for the coaches, and, at the same time, allows us to afford on-site coaches for the younger students, providing them with a high quality env

We consider positivity preserving model order reduction of SISO linear systems. Whereas well-established model reduction methods usually do not result in a positive approximation, we show that a symmetry characterization of balanced truncation can be used to preserve positivity after performing balanced truncation. As a consequence, the method is independent of the initial realization and always r

Much time and effort is wasted both within and between industry, commerce, government and professional and academic institutions when ambiguities arise as a result of the inability to differentiate adequately between such terms as 'change control' and 'change management'; 'configuration management policy' and 'configuration management plan' and similar terms which form an interface between various

Being stimulated by the recent identification of the two-phonon wobbling excitation, first I make a brief survey of various two-phonon states in nuclear physics, in connection with experimental observations. Then, I discuss the wobbling-phonon excitation in the presence of particle alignments, which is nicely pinned down in the recent experiments of the nucleus Lu-163(71)92.

I dagens läge finns en hel del kunskap om olika aspekter av miljöanpassade handlingssätt. Samtidigt har forskningen givit upphov till insikter om nya, ofta komplicerade frågor om förhållandet mellan människors värderingar, attityder i miljöfrågor och omställning till mera miljöanpassat beteende. I det här kapitlet kommer den kunskap om människors miljöhandlingar som finns i dag att diskuteras och

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodpropp i artärer och vener kan orsaka hjärtinfarkt, ge upphov till blodpropp i benens djupt liggande vener (djup ventrombos) och även i lungan (lungemboli). Detta är vanliga sjukdomar som är potentiellt livshotande i den akuta situationen eller kan leda till komplikationer på lång sikt. Behandling måste t ex vid hjärtinfarkt insättas snabbt för att ge så god effekt sAcute myocardial infarction (MI) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) are conditions caused by thrombus formation with activation of the coagulation system. The plasma concentration of the complex between activated protein C (APC) and protein C inhibitor (PCI), APC–PCI complex is increased in such states. We have devised an immunofluorometric assay employing a catcher antibody (M36) that recognizes a

This dissertation has a two-fold purpose. Firstly, it provides an annotated translation of the full text of the Bowu zhi by Zhang Hua (232-300), an intriguing early mediaeval work that contains passages which throw interesting light on a number of fields in mediaeval Chinese scholarship and the development of traditional Chinese science. As reference to the Bowu zhi is rendered difficult by the pa

In this paper a method for fitting open surfaces to data obtained from images is presented using a level set representation of the surface. This is done by tracking a curve, representing the boundary, on the implicitly defined surface. This curve is given as the intersection of the level set describing the surface and an auxiliary level set. These two level sets are propagated using the same motio

Det förefaller bildas ett slags vardagsetiskt tomrum i massutbildningssystemet, vilket nu bland annat fylls genom betoningen av social kompetens i skolan. Social kompetens tenderar att bli den vardagsetiska aspekten av vår tids bildning. Den viktiga frågan att diskutera är inte om vi ska ha undervisning och träning i social kompetens i skolan eller inte, utan snarare hur det kan komma sig att vard

interactIVe has the objective to develop new integrated Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). In order to evaluate these ADAS, an evaluation framework is required. Therefore, a horizontal subproject called “Evaluation and Legal Aspects” is part of interactIVe, with the main objective to provide this framework and give support to the vertical subprojects in their evaluation work. The purpose o

This is a basic textbook in the psychology of religion, originally published in 1985, used at almost all basic courses at university level in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries. The book has been revised four times (1989, 1993, 1999, 2000). New chapters on contemporary spirituality and coping theory have been added.

A collection of original chapters focusing on young people and their political involvement, their use of the internet and other new media for learning the roles and practices of various forms ofcitizenship. The collection is analytically framed by the current dilemmas of democracy

De senaste två decennierna har införandet av kvalitetssäkring varit en bland såväl privata som offentliga verksamheter i Sverige. Trenden har fört med sig nya kvalitetssäkringstekniker, kontrollformer och i viss mån normer och värderingar. I boken beskrivs de tämligen olika förändringsprocesser som införandet av kvalitetssäkring har gett upphov till i hälso- och sjukvården samt revisionsbranschen.
