This book chapter is an introduction to the work of Judith Butler and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick.

En studie av C.J.L. Almqvists drama Silkesharen på Hagalund, och i någon mån av dess direkta fortsättning Purpurgreven, båda tryckta 1850, med fokus på sammanhangen med tidevarvets ekonomiska teorier.

To obtain full sky coverage, astronomical adaptive optics systemsrequire Na Sodium Beacons (SBs) (also referred to as Laser Guide Starsor LGSs) located at heights extending from 85 to 100 km. When viewed atthe edge of large telescopes these SBs appear elongated. For the Euro5050 meter aperture telecopes this elongation amounts to 6 to 9 arcsecondswhen the laser is launched from a point on the tele

Today, the demand for shorter lead times, shorter production runs and more diversified products is a general market trend, which puts pressure on logistics systems. When adapting to this trend, agile manufacturing becomes increasingly important. Flexible printing activities, in particular, are needed when products and packaging designs increasingly are to be adapted for niche markets. This study s

Popular Abstract in Swedish Strålbehandling av cancerpatienter sker idag med avancerad teknik och utrustning. Förberedelserna inför behandlingen är omfattande och kräver medverkan av flera olika personalkategorier och övervakning via datoriserade verifikationssystem. I varje led i förberedelsekedjan finns en potentiell risk för avvikelser, vilka kan vara både systematiska eller tillfälliga i sin nThe aim of this work was to develop, implement and evaluate an independent system with which to calculate the absorbed dose, delivered by high-energy X-ray beams, to the prescription point and the depth of dose maximum. The introduction of such a system in the clinical routine may help ensure high-quality treatment and avoidance of errors which may jeopardise the clinical outcome of the treatment

This chapter introduces the notion of civic culture as a frame for understanding political engagement and civic agency. In particular, the role of the media is underscored in shaping civic cultures; these include such dimensions as knowledge, values, practices and identities.

Derivatives, or Jacobians, are commonly required by numerical algorithms. Access to accurate Jacobians often improves the performance and robustness of algorithms, and in addition, efficient implementation of Jacobian computations can reduce the over-all execution time. In this paper, we present methods for computing Jacobians in the context of the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI), and Modelica.

The last decades have seen a strongly increasing use of computers for modeling larger and more complex systems. This has been made possible by a combination of increasing computer power and easy-to-use graphical modeling environments and libraries of components. An important class of systems are described by initial value problems for dynamical systems, and the increasing size and complexity imply

The GLUE specification is an information model for Grid entities described using the natural language and UML Class Diagrams. As a conceptual model, it is designed to be independent from the concrete data models adopted for its implementation. Rendering to concrete data models such XML Schema, LDAP Schema and SQL are provided in a separate document.

This is the fifth annual report of the Swedish Butterfly Monitoring Scheme, a national monitoring programme coordinated by Lund University for the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency since 2010. The programme is a partnership between the Entomological Society of Sweden, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Lund University, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and the Swedish

It is still impossible to make an accurate, purely theoretical prediction of the free energy of a ligand binding to a protein in aqueous environment. The two main problems are the immense number of nuclear configurations contributing to the binding free energy and the impossibility to apply accurate quantum-chemical methods to such a large system, even for a single configuration.
