ABSTRAKT Författare: Dimitrios Anastasiadis Titel: Utan spaning ingen aning - En kvalitativ sociologisk studie om spanare inom polisverksamhet Kandidatuppsats: SOCK01, 15p Handledare: Malin Åkerström, Sociologiska institutionen, Höstterminen 2010 Problem/Bakgrund: En spanare är en polis vars arbete går ut på att, genom att uppträda som civil, övervaka och avslöja misstänkta brottslingar. Studien hABSTRACT Author: Dimitrios Anastasiadis Title: No clue without surveillance - A qualitative sociological study of undercover police Mentor: Malin Åkerström, The Department of Sociology, Lund University, S2 2010 Background: The undercover police officers major task is, by appearing as a civilian, to monitor and detect criminal suspects. The study is based on the undercover police officers behavi

The explosive popularization of personal computers during the last decade, along with the appearance of the World Wide Web and of high-level programming techniques, has opened many new and exciting opportunities in the field of education. In this chapter, a review of existing types of multimedia material used in education and of some of the authoring tools used in the production of this material i

Three different meshless methods based on radial basis functions are investigated for the numerical solution of electromagnetic eigenvalue problems. The three algorithms, the non-symmetric Kansa approach, the symmetric Kansa method and the radial point interpolation method, are first described putting emphasis on the influence of their formalism on practical implementation. The convergence rate of

Artikeln behandlar utsignalåterkoppling av system där funktionen som avbildar tillstånden på mätsignarlerna har en mängdvärd invers.Vi visar att om mängden har begränsad kardinalitet, så går det att komprimera historiken till en ändlig vektor som beräknas rekursivt.Resultatet exemplifieras på diskrettidsintegratorn där mätsignalen är absolutbeloppet av tillståndet och får fram en förvånandsvärt enThis article considers output-feedback control of systems where the function mapping states to measurements has a set-valued inverse. We show that if the set has a bounded number of elements, then minimax dual control of such systems admits finite-dimensional information states. We specialize our results to a discrete-time integrator with magnitude measurements and derive a surprisingly simple sub

Context: The intensification and expansion of human activities have caused profound changes in global wetlands and their associated aquatic bird communities. Understanding the mechanisms that drive the spatial assemblages of wetland birds is important for the development of effective conservation and management strategies. Objectives: The overall objective was to evaluate the influence of wetland

Understanding the perceptions of young people is a critical issue in the formulation and implementation of climate change mitigation strategies. Based on cognitive hierarchy theory, the present study aims to investigate the factors that motivate or hinder young people’s perception of forestation as a strategy to mitigate climate change in post-conflict Somalia. This study hypothesized a model in w

Background: Frozen section is a standard of care procedure during thoracic surgery when an immediate diagnosis is needed. An alternative procedure is intraoperative cytology. Video-assisted thoracic surgery is currently widely used for thoracic surgical procedures. The aim of this study was to assess intraoperative cytology together with frozen section for accuracy, turnaround time, and total resp

Duplicative horizontal gene transfer may bring two previously separated homologous genes together, which may raise questions about the interplay between the gene products. One such gene pair is the “native” PgiC1 and “foreign” PgiC2 in the perennial grass Festuca ovina. Both PgiC1 and PgiC2 encode cytosolic phosphoglucose isomerase, a dimeric enzyme whose proper binding is functionally essential.

This article examines reports of physical punishment at the national Swedish Boy Scout camp Åvatyr in 1950. The Swedish newspapers Dagens Nyheter and Expressen described the events in terms of bullying and violence, while the Camp directors declared that the reports were merely exaggerated accounts of innocent pranks and practical jokes.

Aim: This study evaluated the contributions of various prenatal and postnatal predictive factors to a documented high prevalence of ophthalmological abnormalities in children aged 6.5 years who were born extremely preterm. Methods: We carried out a prospective population-based study of all children born in Sweden at a gestational age of 22 + 0 to 26 + 6 weeks based on the Extremely Preterm Infants

Quantifying how variable temperature regimes affect energy expenditure during development is crucial for understanding how future thermal regimes may impact early life survival and population persistence. Developmental cost theory (DCT) suggests that there is an optimal temperature (Topt) that minimises energy expenditure during development (the ‘cost of development‘). Exposure to fluctuating temp

”Han talte de om som en hjälte” examines the use of parody and satire in the Swedish comedy series S*M*A*S*H (1990) and Pistvakt (1998–2000) as well as the feature film Pistvakt – En albinovästern från de vita vidderna (2005).

Environmental destruction has long been used as a military strategy in times of conflict. A long-term example of environmental destruction in a conflict zone can be found in Dersim/Tunceli province, located in Eastern Turkey. In the last century, at least two military operations negatively impacted Dersim’s population and environment: 1937–38 and 1993–94. Both conflict and environmental destructio
