Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna studie behandlar krav som verksamhetens karaktär medför på ekonomisk styrning i social verksamhet inriktad mot barn och ungdomar. I kommuner finns flera verksamheter som bedriver ett omfattande arbete inriktat mot barn och ungdomar, t.ex. förskola, skola och socialtjänst. Många olika professionella aktörer är inblandade i arbetet med denna målgrupp, såsom förskollThe aim of this study is to contribute to an increased understanding of the demands that the operation’s character places on management control. The study’s point of departure is the assumption that management control must be adapted to the operation’s character in order to be able to support strategy implementation and the achievement of objectives (contingency theory). The study deals with the d

In the end of the 1990ths came alarming reports that the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) could cause autism. The discovery about the connection was told in mass media all over the world and in Europe the vaccination frequency decreased with several percent. In some areas less than 90% of the children were vaccinated, a limit that calls “herd immunity”. In interviews with parents,

This article summarises the ultrasound features of a number of gynaecological emergencies: ectopic pregnancy, haemorrhagic corpus luteum, twisted adnexa, pelvic inflammatory disease, acute myoma necrosis, haematocolpos and haematometra. The basis of all diagnosis in women with acute gynaecological conditions is history and clinical examination. An ultrasound examination should only be performed if

A new method for QRST cancellation is presented for the analysis of atrial fibrillation in the surface electrocardiogram (ECG). The method is based on a spatiotemporal signal model which accounts for dynamic changes in QRS morphology caused, e.g., by variations in the electrical axis of the heart. Using simulated atrial fibrillation signals added to normal ECGs, the results show that the spatiotem

Bulgarian apico-alveolar stops and Swedish dorsovelar stops are palatalized when adjacent to front vowels. An X-ray motion film study of these assimilations (part of an ongoing investigation of the temporal organisation of coarticulation and assimilation) is presented. Two issues are examined, extrinsic vs intrinsic production of assimilation and feature spreading vs. coproduction. The articulator

Consider nonbacktracking convolutional decoders that keep a fixed number of trellis survivors. It is shown that the error performance of these depends on the early part of the distance profile and on the number of survivors kept, and not on the free distance or the details of the code generators. Particularly, the encoder may be feedforward systematic without loss. Furthermore, this kind of encode

A strategy for control of the glucose feed rate in cultivationsof E.coli is discussed. By making probing pulses in the feed rate it is possible to detect and avoid a characteristic saturation linked to undesirable by-product formation. A simplification of a previous algorithm is presented and analyzed.

Classical evolutionary life history concerns questions such as optimal timing of maturation, life span and number of offspring. These questions have mostly been studied theoretically under the assumption that the environment is stable and without taking into account frequency and density dependence. Life history theory is the basis for my thesis, in which I have studied the evolution of different

Searches for extra dimensions have been made at the four LEP experiments, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, where different processes have been searched for within both the ADD and Randall-Sundrum scenarios. Since no signs of any signal have been observed the results have been used to set exclusion limits in the corresponding extra dimension models. This talk presents both individual results from the LE

This paper presents a study of the main advantages of inverted decoupling in 2×2 processes. Two simulation examples and an experimental process are used to show these advantages in comparison with simplified decoupling. The study focuses on the following practical advantages: the apparent process is the same as that obtained if one loop changes to manual; bumpless transfer and anti-windup are achi

Abstract in Italian Sono qui messi a confronto due modelli per l’analisi dei Vangeli da un punto di vista retorico: l’utilizzo delle categorie retoriche dei Progymnasmata ellenistici e «la retorica biblica e semitica». Si sostiene che l’utilizzo di un modello non escluda l’utilizzo dell’altro, ma che anzi si completino a vicenda. Un’analisi dell’ultima cena in Lc 22,11-38 serve a illustrare l’uso Two approaches to the rhetorical analysis of Gospel texts are being compared in this essay: on the one hand, the use of the rhetorical categories of the Hellenistic Progymnasmata, and on the other, «Biblical and semitic rhetoric». It is argued that these two approaches are not mutually exclusive, but complementary. The last supper in Luke 22,14-38 functions as a test case. An introduction offers s

A specific feature of both Modern and Old Georgian is that case marking of subjects and objects is sensitive to the choice of tense/aspect. This paper focuses on a construction that was found in complementation in Old Georgian (5th-11th centuries) where alongside with finite forms, an infinitive began to develop. Generally, this was a verb-noun in the adverbial case (-(a)d): tesva ‘sowing’ –> tesv

Extremum seeking of nonlinear systems based on a sampled-data control law is revisited. It is established that under some generic assumptions, semi-global practical asymptotically stable convergence to an extremum can be achieved. To this end, trajectory-based arguments are employed, by contrast with Lyapunov-function-type approaches in the existing literature. The proof is simpler and more straig

Literature reviews lay the foundation for almost every academic research project, and sometimes are a scholarly contribution in its own right. To increase rigor and credibility the findings have to be valid and reliable just as in any other type of research. This paper summarizes recent methodological developments in the application systematic literature reviews in supply chain management. It anal

Protoplanets of super-Earth size may get trapped in convergence zones for planetary migration and form gas giants there. These growing planets undergo accretion heating, which triggers a hot-Trail effect that can reverse migration directions, increase planetary eccentricities, and prevent resonant captures of migrating planets. In this work, we study populations of embryos that are accreting pebbl
