Cascaded convolutional codes with conventional convolutional codes as constituent codes are powerful and attractive to use in communication systems where very low error probabilities are needed. This paper clearly demonstrates the dramatic effect the replacement of the inner convolutional encoder by an equivalent one could have on the cascaded convolutional code.

Logistics can be regarded as an established research area containing publications in renowned scientific journals and which covers several related fields. One of them, packaging logistics, is a relatively new research area, established at only a few universities and institutes. Consequently, the packaging logistics area is characterised by scattered theoretical frameworks and publications are scar

Over the last ten years, there has been a great deal of research and development in Sweden in the field of rehabilitation robotics. The research effort has often focused on workplace adaptations. This paper deals with four robotic adaptations, all of whic

Interest in the distinctive features of early Christian manuscripts (e.g. codex format, staurogram, nomina sacra, handwriting, and lectional signs) has increased significantly over the last decade. They are no longer merely identified and compared, but also put into a sociocultural context of early Christian scribal habits and reading culture. Similarly, more attention is constantly being directed

Syftet med denna studie är att analysera hur personal inom socialtjänsten tolkar, definierar och upplever ett behandlingsprojekt, som involverade olika myndigheter, benämnt Motverka Våld och Gäng. Dessutom uppmärksammas hur den intervjuade och observerade personalen uppfattar och kategoriserar de inom projektet anställda samordnarna. De anställda inom socialtjänsten upplever att projektet kommit The aim of this study is to analyze how the Social Services personnel interpret, define and perceive, on the one hand, the project “Motverka Våld och Gäng” meaning “Counteract Violence and Gangs”, and on the other hand the role of the Coordinators employed in this project. Heads of units and Social Secretarys were interviewed, as well as observed and recorded at meetings. The personnel of the Soc

The paper is an attempt to bring doubt to the claim that truthmaking is an internal relation holding between a truthmaker and bearer of truth. Depending on whether an internal relation is taken to be necessitated by the existence of its terms or supervenient on the intrinsic properties of its relata, truthmaker internalism involves commitment to one of two views: either truthbearers have their con

Detta utkast utgör en redovisning av ett uppdrag som jag fick av Forsknings- och utvecklingsenheten vid Statens institutionsstyrelse (SiS). Uppdraget bestod i att, under en tvåmånadersperiod (april och maj 2009), granska och urskilja etnicitetsmarkörer i det empiriska material som samlats in under intervjuer och möten med aktörerna i ett samarbetsprojekt i ungdomsvården (MVG-projektet). Tanken var
