GIS applications are nowadays used in nearly every area of society and the need for GIS competence is therefore increasing over all. Micro-training and open educational resources are important concepts to reach new target groups, not least from a higher education perspective. The use of Web 2.0 creates possibilities for a more user friendly approach and for broader outreach. The eGIS+ project addr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med avhandlingen är att diskutera de två antropologiska koncepten mikrokosmos och förvaltare var för sig i anslutning till Kyrkornas Världsråds så kallade JPIC-process, där JPIC står för ”justice”, ”peace” och ”the integrity of creation”, samt att slutligen med hjälp av en teologisk korrelationsmetod relatera de båda koncepten till varandra. Inledningskapitlet beThe aim of this dissertation is to discuss the two theologic anthropological concepts microcosm and steward within the World Council of Churches project called the JPIC-process - their JPIC stands for justice, peace and the integrity of creation - and to relate the two anthropological concepts to each other using a theological correlation method. After an introduction the JPIC-process, which offic

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bostäder och service svarar för hela 36 procent av Sveriges totala energianvändning, av detta står bostäder och lokaler för ungefär 86 procent. Den svenska riksdagen har antaget EU: s klimat-och energipolitiska mål som skall nås till 2020, som kallas "20-20-20"-målen. EU:s 20-20-20-mål innebär att vi ska minska klimat¬påverkan med 20 procent, uppnå 20 procent förnybar eUsing energy at low-quality levels opens up new possibilities for low-energy houses. Low-quality energy can be heat at a temperature that is close to that of its surrounding, and can be used, for example, to pre-heat ventilation air or domestic hot water. Pre-heating the incoming outdoor air reduces the need to heat ventilation and reduces the need for high-quality energy such as electricity or he

Abstract in German Web-basierte Trainings werfen viele Fragen auf bezüglich des zu erwartenden Nutzungsverhaltens von Kursteilnehmenden. Bisher liegen nur wenige Studien mit wenigen Aussagen darüber vor, wie Web-basierte Trainings im Rahmen berufsbegleitender Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen genutzt werden. Auf Basis einer Analyse des Nutzungsverhaltens von Studenten des Studienganges WINFOLine macht der v

The aim of this research is to design a collaboratory that is a socio-technical platform to support sharing research data collection instruments in a social science discipline, in particular library and information science. A socio-technical approach to design that includes a literature review, an empirical study and use cases, are used to create specifications for a collaboratory prototype. Futur

The paper describes and discusses the state of the art concerning the possibilities of an analytical prediction of the real fire behaviour of wooden structures and structural members. The principles of a probability based design are outlined with reference to a physical model according to Fig. 2, connected to a natxral compartment fire exposure. The design procedure is exemplified by a Swedish met

Rapport i forskningsprojektet "Stadsdelsreformen i Malmö - en demokratiutvärdering".

This paper investigates how typical frequency domain concepts such as circular polarization and axial ratio can be given a useful meaning in the time domain. The relationship between the linear polarizations of a circularly polarized time dependent signal is shown to be the Hilbert transform, and the instantaneous axial ratio can be computed from envelope functions, obtained from corresponding ana

It is commonly assumed that speech production is initiated and guided by clear pre-verbal intentions. These intentions are moreover supposed to function as a standard of accuracy against which actual performance can be measured. Alternative positions to such a centrally governed process have been offered, but very few empirical attempts have been made to explore the issue. We aimed to remedy this

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mörkerseendet är en mycket känslig nervfunktion och mycket känsligare för låg syrgastillförsel än högre mentala funktioner. Mörkerseendet är kraftigt reducerat hos patienter med två kliniskt sett så olika tillstånd som förträngd halspulsåder (carotisstenos) och "trögflytande blod" (polycytämi). Gemensamt för båda patientgrupperna är en under lång tid störd blodcirculatiPurpose: To study dark adaptation in patients with symptomatic carotid artery disease or polycythemia before and after treatment. This necessitated determinations of pupillary changes as such may influence the findings. To determine whether changes in the retinal blood flow in light and darkness occur in healthy humans. Methods: Repeated automatic dark adaptometry was recorded monocularly in 21 c

Shear and compaction bands represent two fundamental failure modes in sandstones. The identification of these features in both the natural outcrops and the laboratory scale yields useful insights into the mechanisms of localised deformation. Several conventional and advanced experimental full-field methods have been developed in order to shed light into the processes involved, as well as qualify a
