Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är en studie av en grupp cypriska stenskulpturer som ställdes upp som votivgåvor i öns tempel och helgedomar under 500-talet f.Kr. Det som utmärker gruppen är att de bär cypriska versioner av karakteristisk egyptisk klädedräkt och smycken. För att kunna svara på frågor som varför denna egyptiserande votivtyp dedicerades på ön, varifrån impulserna kom ocThis thesis is a study of a particular limestone votive statuary type which was dedicated in the sanctuaries on Cyprus during the entire 6th century B.C. Common to the group of figures is that they are wearing a Cypriote version of an Egyptian-type outfit, including characteristic Egyptian royal headgear and jewelry. In order to be able to answer questions on the origin of the Egyptianizing iconog

Modulation of customer loads for increased power system damping is suggested as an alternative to control of HVDC links and FACTS devices. The loads are modeled as real power controlled by local bus frequency, which is equivalent to viscous damping in a mechanical system. The qualitative aspects of the interaction between two load modulation controllers are studied using linearized models of two t

How did the image of Sweden and "swedishness" reflect the construction of a Finnish national identity during the time period 1918-1939? This paper focuses on the socialist and left-wing liberal press of that time. Language: Swedish

The globally widespread kind of description of vowels by points in the IPA quadrangle with the cardinal vowels as references is very often not trustworthy in its detailed specification. The reasonable interpretation of a dot registration is namely that the vowel quality is very narrowly pinpointed. However, most phoneticians do not have the capacity to judge vowels in this detailed way. Consequent

A significant amount of papers has been published on web server server modeling and control. This survey presents the current results in these two fields. Background information is given that explains and examplifies the problems found in respective fields. A list of references for further reading is included.

Purpose The purpose is to explore if a potential gap exists between information sharing as recommended in academic literature and the information actually shared among companies and their supply chain partners. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on an extensive literature review to structure the terminology for information sharing in supply chains and an in-depth interview study to ex
