There are significant differences between the anointing episodes in Luke 7:36-50 and in John 12:1-8, and the relation between them has been much debated. I propose that the episodes testify to a similar Christological emphasis as well as a different one which may indicate that one or both evangelists were aware of the work of the other. There is reason to assume that the Lukan as well as the Johan

Joseph Roth was a wanderer. Born in a Galizian shtetl, in the periphery of the Danube Monarchy, he went to Vienna, Berlin, and Paris, became socialist, monarchist, European, cosmopolitan. And yet remained East European Jew. Relentlessly on the move, and the embodiment of a Jewish and a modern destiny, Roth travelled through Europe and lived and wrote his novels and feuilletons in hotels and cafés,

The issue of this presentation is how teachers in the Swedish compulsory school have redefined their jobs as a result of new demands that have emerged during the restructuring in the 1990’s. Earlier, the teachers defined their jobs in terms of good teaching, e.g. transforming the subject matter in order to make it accessible. By using activity theory as a perspective for analysing qualitative data

The active tailbiting segment distance for convolutional codes is introduced. Together with the earlier defined active burst distance, it describes the error correcting capability of a tailbiting code encoded by a convolutional encoder. Lower bounds on the new active distance as well as an upper bound on the ratio between tailbiting length and memory of the encoder such that its minimum

The time development of neck formation in ductile elastic-plastic bars is analyzed numerically in order to obtain a qualitative description of the features of dynamic neck localization under impact conditions. The full time history is visualized using contour plots of the time development of a strain rate parameter. Both axisymmetric and planar bars are studied. Several types of neck development a

A small co-insurance rate, corresponding to say 5 percent of the patient's annual taxable income, would reduce the the demand for health care substantially and allow tax reductions. Under certain conditions the latter would be so large that the net effect would be increase income for everyone concerned. Hence, do we have a case for patient charges? - Yes, but only under certain conditions.

The E4SD (Energy for Sustainable Development) Online Course is a joint initiative led by the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE) at Lund University, Sweden with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the Global Network on Energy for Sustainable Development (GNESD) as partners. The overall objective of
