Popular Abstract in Swedish Jordens dotter. Selma Lagerlöf och den tyska hembygdslitteraturen. Avhandlingen undersöker mottagandet av Selma Lagerlöfs verk i Tyskland åren runt sekelskiftet 1900. Selma Lagerlöf introducerades på den tyska bokmarknaden 1896 med en översättning av debutverket Gösta Berlings saga. Redan tidigt under sin litterära karriär uppmärksammades hon i tysk press och nådde på This dissertation studies the reception of the works of the Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf in Germany at the turn of the century 1900. Selma Lagerlöf was introduced into the German book market in 1896, with a translation of her first novel, “The Saga of Gosta Berling”. She was well received by the German press and had after only a couple of years managed to get herself an impressive readership, whi

The ABBI (Audio Bracelet for Blind Interaction) device is designed for visually impaired and blind children to wear on the wrist and produce sound based on the movement of the arm through space. The primary func- tion is to inform a child (or adult) about his/her own movements to aid spatial cognition rehabilitation. How- ever, the device could also be worn by friends and family and be used to inf

Because of the low tensile strength of aerated concrete, the sealing of joints between such elements causes special problems. In this paper some main characteristics of sealants for use in aerated concrete joints are discussed. These properties are elongation resistance, elasticity, and ageing. The elongation resistance was examined at different rates and different temperatures. The elasticity wa

Welcome to the e-manual on adult participation in universities! The manual is intended for managers, teachers and practitioners working with adults in universities. It may also be of interest to staff trainers and professional development co-ordinators, policy makers and administrators with an interest in adult higher learning, staff of national agencies who have a role to play in increasing adul

A collection of studies on different theories and metaphors on the nature of man in his ambivalence (with Pascals words "neither angel nor beast"), its constants and variables, from antiquity to the Middle Ages and pre-modern times. The focus is on the concept "person". Third, revised edition.

An article about and interview with Latvian-American artist Boris Lurie (1924-2008), co-founder of the NO!art movement in the beginning of the 1960s.

A method for the reconstruction and motion problems is presented, under the assumption that a number of point correspondences in a pair of images are known. A geometric and algebraic theory is based on invariance properties of point configuration under affine and projective transformations. In particular, a characterization of those image pairs which correspond to the same point configuration in a

Swedish translation of steps 8, 13 and 14 of The Ladder of Divine Ascent by John Climacus. The translation is based upon Rader's edition reprinted in Migne's Patrologia Graeca, vol.88 (Paris, 1633).

We formulate multi-input multi-output (MIMO) proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller design as an optimization problem that involves nonconvex quadratic matrix inequalities. We propose a simple method that replaces the nonconvex matrix inequalities with a linear matrix inequality (LMI) restriction, and iterates to convergence. This method can be interpreted as a matrix extension of the c

We give an account of the characteristics that result from reflecting a drifting local martingale (i.e. the sum of a local martingale and a multiple of its quadratic variation process) in 0 and b > 0. We present conditions which guarantee the existence of finite moments of what is required to keep the reflected process within its boundaries. Also, we derive an associated law of large numbers and a
