Projective Planning explores recent trends in urban planning, asking how planning practices associated with these trends are justified and organized. The constantly changing conditions of capitalist societies require a form of urban planning that is alert and responsive to the circumstances in which it operates. This places demands on the organization of urban planning, on urban planners, and on t

This thesis is about understandings of understanding and has developed from previous research on study skill and conceptions of learning among participants in various forms of education. The purpose was to investigate understandings of understanding as a phenomenon and the significance of understanding of understanding for learning. The investigation involved 101 persons between 12 and 75 years of

Behovet av ny kunskap i anslutning till klimatförändringen är enormt. Det behövs ny kunskap om hur • klimatet kan komma att utvecklas. • skogsekosystemet kan komma att utvecklas. • dessa system interagerar. Detta kunskapsuppbyggande är högst angeläget att påbörja men kommer att ta tid. Många beslut inom skogsbruket måste fattas redan idag utan tillgång till forskningsresultaten. Man tvingas alltså

An analysis of form and structure in some medieval sermons for the anniversary of the dedication of a church, composed in Vadstena Abbey, Sweden, and preserved in manuscript in the C-Collection of Uppsala University Library.

In this paper, a generic electromagnetic model is utilized for arbitrary multiport antennas e.g., vector sensors applied in DOA estimation, which was exploited for the statistical analysis of DOA and polarization estimation. By utilizing the spherical vector wave expansion of the electromagnetic field to completely characterize the multiport antennas a general framework for modelling an antenna co

Following the theme of this monograph, this paper discusses a dialectic we perceive to subsist between meaningful use and reflection upon use. This dialectic between experiencing use and reflecting upon experiencing use (or thinking, and thinking about thinking) may be considered in the following way. Each of these elements is subject to change. As reflection triggers change in use, and such chang

‘Safety pays’ is a phrase commonly used. But, when it comes to putting that concept into practice, very few are actually successful at it. Reasons given include: it is costly or it is a waste of time or it is not the main cause of failure. However the real problem is that there is not enough guidance as to how to improve safety performance on site. Traditional measurement approaches include accide

This book is an analysis of the way in which Tanzanian Roman Catholic professor Charles Nyamiti has attempted to combine African traditions and values with neo-Scholastic theology and philosophy. The outcome of the analysis is that in this attempt, Nyamiti needs to rework considerably African traditions in order that they will not collide with "philosophia perennis". Additionally, he deals with th

A set of 15 analog chest images was digitized with a high performance scanner and manipulated in terms of noise and resolution to yield three sets of images; the original plus two with different noise and resolution properties. These sets were evaluated with Visual Grading Analysis (VGA) where the observer rates the visibility of certain normal anatomical structures (as described by the European Q
