University and Culture: a Phenomenological Analysis of Formal and Informal Discourse on Education and Research at Universities in Sweden and China

I forskningen som presenteras här görs en empirisk undersökning av vetenskap och dess politiska gestaltning, i en analys av vad dessa begrepp betyder i olika sammanhang. Undersökningen är inriktad på en studie av formell och informell diskurs rörande universitet, utbildning och forskning. Den informella diskursen består av 202 skriftliga intervjuer, där elever och personal i båda länderna svarar pIn this research, science and its political appearance are studied through an empirical exploration of their representations in narrative expressions. The field of investigation is allocated to formal and informal discourse on university, education and research in Sweden and China. The analysed expressions were taken from 202 written reports, as students and personnel in both countries answered an

Elastic Rerouting - models and resolution methods

This study is concerned with an original traffic restoration strategy for wide-area communication networks called Elastic Rerouting (ER). ER aims at alleviating the tradeoff between the network cost and traffic restoration complexity observed in existing solutions. We present the strategy, provide a mathematical formulation for the ER related optimization problem, and discuss an approach to its re

Deliverable No. 2 – Review of Literature and Experience on the Application of Conflict Studies to Rural Roads. Working report within the project Conflict Study – Application in HA (Highway Agency) Road Safety Management

This report reviews the literature and practical experience with assessing the safety performance of rural road locations using the traffic conflicts technique. It provides an overview of the development of conflict studies, which have overwhelmingly been applied at urban locations. It also discusses the current state of the art in the application of automated video analysis for the detection of c

Demand and Supply of Information on Intangibles: The Case of Knowledge-Intense Companies

This doctoral thesis has its theoretical origin in the notion that the information flow between management teams, financial analysts and investors is especially exposed to information asymmetry when knowledge-intense companies are concerned. Information asymmetry may aggravate agency problems and risk causing an impairment of the efficient allocation of capital on the stock market. Therefore, the

Vem ska bestämma? Dilemman kring effektivitetsrevisorns professionella utrymme - och riksrevisorns roll

Riksrevisionens första tio år har präglats av turbulens. En fråga som har vållat särskild debatt är inskränkningarna av effektivitetsrevisorns utrymme för självständigt utövande av det professionella omdömet. Detta kapitel ägnas åt den frågan. Det baseras på tio års nära forskning om Riksrevisionen. När myndigheten bildades valde riksrevisorerna att öka sitt eget inflytande över granskningarna, sa

Employeeship concept: An interactive model of work relationships focused on leader and follower behaviors

The purpose is to present a theoretical model of the concept employeeship. Employeeship concerns all employees and covers the vertical perspective of work behaviors and relationships between formal leaders and followers, and the horizontal perspective between co-workers on all organizational levels. This enables the study of both formal and informal leadership, authentically recognizing that all e

Konfliktstudier i landsvägskorsningen mellan väg E20 och 2623 utanför Jung

Konfliktobservation och hastighetsmätningar med radar genomfördes i landsvägskorsningen mellan väg E20 och 2623 utanför Jung. Tolv konflikter registrerades. Fortkörning är en vanlig företeelse genom korsningen. Det förekommer även andra regelbrott, t.ex. då fordon inte stannar vid stopplinjen.

The effect of forest nutrients status on ectomycorrhizal growth and community structure in response to minerals

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mycorrhiza är en samexistens mellan trädrötter och svampar i jorden. Svampen förser trädet med mineralnäringsämnen från jorden och i utbyte får den socker från trädet. Sockret produceras via fotosyntesen och transporteras sedan ner till rötterna där de förs vidare till svamphyferna. Det har visats att mycorrhizasvampar kan ta upp näringsämnen direkt från mineraler i jEctomycorrhiza are a symbiosis between trees and soil inhabiting fungi. The fungal hyphae ensheath the fine roots creating a mantle and grow in between root cells to create the Hartig net, where the exchange of carbon and mineral nutrients occurs. The ectomycorrhizal fungus is dependent on the host tree to receive the carbon it needs to grow. Trees with different nutrient deficiencies differ in t

Pollen Competition as a Target for Sexual Selection in Plants

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hos djur är det vanligt att hannarna slåss om att få para sig med honorna, medan honorna är mer kräsna i sitt val av partner. Är det möjligt att växter gör på samma sätt? I min avhandling har jag visat hur pollen tävlar om att få befrukta de honliga fröämnena i pistillen hos styvmorsvioler (Viola tricolor). Det ligger även i honans intresse att välja en partner som prodAccording to the theory of sexual selection, traits can evolve because they confer a mating advantage in competition with members from the same sex. In animals, sexual selection is considered as an important evolutionary force. In this thesis I have investigated the potential for sexual selection in plants. I have concentrated on the phase of reproduction that occurs after pollinators have deposit
