Internal branding processes have become unavoidable features of organisational life, relating to the practices, efforts, and labour surrounding cultural production through which organisational actors seek to circulate understandings of what an organisation is and stands for. This thesis explores internal branding processes in the professions, using the example of the academic context, and how prof

This letter analyzes certainty-equivalence adaptive controllers for sampled-data systems through a data-driven Riccati equation. Extending a recent framework for data-driven adaptive control, the proposed formulation provides the sampled-data counterpart that explicitly accounts for intersample behavior via lifted cost representations. Sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee stability and r

Ten years ago the public computers with Internet access were introduced in the public libraries. The purpose of the public computers was to give the possibility of searching information. Along with the Internet came also communication media like chat and e-mail. This type of communication was a new function for the libraries and the reactions among the librarians were mixed. It has been a source o

Oculomotor behavior reveals, not only the acquisition of visual information at fixation, but also the accumulation of information in memory across subsequent fixations. Two candidate measures were considered as indicators of such dynamic visual memory load: fixation duration and pupil size. While recording these measures, we displayed an arrangement of 3, 4 or 5 targets among distractors. Both occ

The literature on regional development increasingly recognizes that agency is an essential but understudied factor in processes of regional structural change. However, much like the fundamental debates in social sciences about agency and structure, work in this field has often remained theoretical. Investigating the role of agency in regional economic development, systematically and at the micro-l

Recent evidence shows that rising wage inequality in industrialized countries can partially be attributed to trade integration. However, it is unclear what the mechanisms behind this relationship are. Previous explanations pointed towards the displacement of mid-wage manufacturing workers as a response to rising imports. But for Germany it has been shown that rising exports likewise create manufac

It is shown that the behavior of an m-port circuit of maximal monotone elements can be expressed as a zero of the sum of a maximal monotone operator containing the circuit elements, and a structured skew-symmetric linear operator representing the interconnection structure, together with a linear output transformation. The Condat–Vũ algorithm solves inclusion problems of this form, and may be used

This paper presents measurement and analysis results for millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) performance in different real-life scenarios with moderate user equipment (UE) mobility. For the measurement campaign, the developed massive MIMO testbed operating at 28GHz called LuMaMi28GHz is employed. In this testbed, the base station has 16 transceiver chains with a

Since its heyday in the 1960 and 70s, the sociology of literature has been declared dead and gone, yet research related to the field also seems to be reemerging in the first decades of the 21st century. Research relating to the field is scattered across other disciplines, such as literary studies, media studies and cultural studies; indeed, sociology of literature is “everywhere and nowhere”, as J

Psychedelic substances have in recent years attracted considerable interest as potential treatments for several psychiatric conditions, including depression, anxiety, and addiction. Imaging studies in humans point to a number of possible mechanisms underlying the acute effects of psychedelics, including changes in neuronal firing rates and excitability as well as alterations in functional connecti

The profound changes in perception and cognition induced by psychedelic drugs are thought to act on several levels, including increased glutamatergic activity, altered functional connectivity and an aberrant increase in high-frequency oscillations. To bridge these different levels of observation, we have here performed large-scale multi-structure recordings in freely behaving rats treated with 5-H

This paper presents a radio frequency front-end (RFFE) comprised of a cascode low-noise amplifier (LNA) and a reconfigurable Q-enhanced filter. Employing a dual-resonant input matching network, the LNA attains a significantly wide bandwidth. The filter consists of four Q-enhanced resonators enabling three modes of operation: 1) dual-band filter, 2) single band-pass filter (BPF) along with a tunabl

As novelty is a core value in science, a reliable approach to measuring the novelty of scientific documents is critical. Previous novelty measures however had a few limitations. First, the majority of previous measures are based on recombinant novelty concept, attempting to identify a novel combination of knowledge elements, but insufficient effort has been made to identify a novel element itself

This article reports a meta-analysis based on a multiple case study of the use of learning study (LS) to understand children's learning in Swedish preschool. The aim is to investigate whether and how the LS model can be developed, adjusted and used to meet contemporary demands placed upon preschool teachers for increased content focus and improved cognitive outcomes. The research questions are (1)
