Abstract in UndeterminedIn recent years, there has been a marked proliferation in the literature on economic approaches to ecosystem management, which has created a subsequent need for real understanding of the scope and the limits of the economic approaches to ecosystems and biodiversity. Within this Handbook, carefully commissioned original contributions from acknowledged experts in the field ad
Although thinking double thoughts and living dual lives are not specifically Iranian traits, Iranians have nevertheless become more susceptible to them for historical reasons, which may be traced back to when Persians became Muslims. The gradual normalization of double-thinking over the centuries has given rise to social and political patterns of behavior and institutional arrangements which oscilAlthough thinking double thoughts and living dual lives are not specifically Iranian traits, Iranians have, nevertheless, become more susceptible to them for historical reasons, which may be traced back to when Persians became Muslims.

The Internet has revolutionised the global market place. Internet shopping is now accessible to an increasing numbers of people. In theory, this new form of media offers convenience, speed and choice to the consumer, but the question is whether it works in practice? Business-to-consumer cross-border transactions, whether carried out electronically or otherwise, are subject to the existing framewor
I över femtio år har Teaterhögskolan i Malmö utbildat skådespelare som verkat på svenska och internationella scener, i film, radio och tv. Skolan har ett gediget rykte som en av Nordens ledande teaterutbildningar med ett tydligt metodiskt förhållningssätt, en medveten pedagogisk progression och en konsekvent syn på teaterns kunskapskärna som handlingsbaserad. Teaterhögskolan har funnits på BergsgaFor over fifty years Malmö Theatre Academy has trained professional actors working in theatre, film, radio, and TV nationally and internationally. It has a solid reputation as one of the Nordic region's leading theater educations with a clear methodological approach, a conscious pedagogical progression, and a consistent view of the theater's core knowledge as action based. The academy is located a
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major global health issue, with outcomes spanning from intracranial bleeding, debilitating sequelae, and invalidity with consequences for individuals, families, and healthcare systems. Early diagnosis of TBI by testing peripheral fluids such as blood or saliva has been the focus of many research efforts, leading to FDA approval for a bench-top assay for blood GFAP
Popular Abstract in English In May 1619, the Finnish astrologer Sigfridus Aronus Forsius (d. 1624) was examined by clerical authorities. In the verdict, astrology was rejected as a pagan craft, forbidden for any Christian. Yet still astrology was inseparable from the scholarly conception of the world. The principles of astral influence were more or less self-evident in physical theory and in medicThe purpose of this thesis is to analyse a displacement of the limits between allowable and illicit knowledge in the orthodox, Lutheran discourse of early modern Sweden. Focusing on the debate over astrology, exemplified in the works of Laurentius Paulinus Gothus (1565-1646) and Sigfridus Aronus Forsius (d. 1624), the thesis aims to challenge the view of how the Reformation, regarded as a prelimin
Participation is one of the most important concepts in current development debate, both in theory and practice. It is also a contested topic and it has been argued that despite well expressed intentions, problems that for long have been connected to development are not solved through participation. Despite participation being suggested as the „new development era‟ many development theorists argue
Purpose HARDI International A/S is in the process of replacing their old ERP-system BaaN and as an input for the development and adjustments of the new system, mapping of the current production planning processes in the company is required. The purpose of this thesis is to map, describe, analyze and evaluate the current production planning process in order to identify potential improvements. This
An extended Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (KYP) Lemma for positive systems is derived. The main difference compared to earlier versions is that non-strict inequalities are treated. Matrix assumptions are also less restrictive. Moreover, a new equivalence is introduced in terms of linear programming rather than semi-definite programming. As a complement to the KYP lemma, it is also proved that a symmetri
A proof system P is said to be automatable in time f(N) if there exists an algorithm that given as input an unsatisfiable formula F outputs a refutation of F in the proof system P in time f(N), where N is the size of the smallest P-refutation of F plus the size of F. Atserias and Bonet (ECCC 2002), observed that tree-like k-DNF resolution is automatable in time Nc·k log N for a universal constant
The interwar period constitutes a formative period in the history of European labour movements. This study examines why the Swedish labour movement, unlike several of its European counterparts, developed during the interwar period from a weak labour movement with competing centers of power to a strong and more unified social democratized movement. In short: The path to social democratic hegemony,
The classical Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma gives conditions for solvability of a certain inequality in terms of a symmetric matrix. The lemma has numerous applications in systems theory and control. Recently, it has been shown that for positive systems, important versions of the lemma can equivalently be stated in terms of a diagonal matrix rather than a general symmetric one. This paper generali
We derive frequency-domain criteria for the convergence of linear iterative learning control (ILC) on finite-time intervals that are less restrictive than existing ones in the literature. In particular, the former can be used to establish the convergence of ILC in certain cases where the latter are violated. The results cover ILC with non-causal filters and provide insights into the transient beha
In this article we prove NP-hardness of two well-known optimization problems related to the design of multicommodity flow networks with two different methods for providing network resiliency against failures: path diversity and flow restoration. Path diversity is a static mechanism that consists of using, for each demand, a number of paths and oversizing the flows assigned to these paths so that f
Popular Abstract in Swedish De allra flesta människor har vid något tillfälle tagit ett läkemedel. Till exempel vaccineras nu för tiden alla svenska barn mot bland annat stelkramp. Vad nog de allra flesta däremot inte har gjort är att fundera på vad ett läkemedel är. Kanske sträcker man sig till att ha kollat upp ett läkemedel i FASS, och kanske får man då syn på en figur som består av streck och A method to accurately estimate the binding affinity of a small molecule to a receptor would be indispensable in numerous fields. For instance, most drugs exert their action by binding to a macromolecule target. Thus, a lot of time and resources could be saved in drug design by predicting affinities by computer programs. In a series of 15 papers, we have tested, compared, and improved the most p
This thesis has investigated how the design process used by a textile printmaker practitioner requires further modification when the sun, uncontrollable by nature, is used to activate thermochromic leuco dyes, a dynamic surface variable. In the context of the use of the sun as the dynamic activator, the investigation is focussed on design applications of sun-screening textiles for both indoor and
