The concepts of ‘transparency’ and ‘evidence of what works’ are key features in the implementation and success of the open public service policy. This paper explores, from the perspective of the third sector, the meaning of these concepts and how we can expect them to be operationalized. Initially, an implementation guided by evidence and transparency seems reasonable and ethical. The practical me

This report describes the work carried out within the research project ``Merging Real-Time and Control Theory for Improving the Performance of Embedded Control Systems''. The overall objective of the work has been to develop integrated control and scheduling methods for improving the performance of real-time control systems with limited resources. The work has fallen into three categories. First,

Abstract in UndeterminedThe report is an evaluation of five years of Linnaeus-Palme exchange programme between the chemistry departments at University of Gothenburg, Sweden and University of the West Indies, Jamaica. The exchange programme gives students and teachers at the two universities the possibility to study and teach at the partner university to better understand the international implicat

This paper presents a hybrid interconnect network consisting of a local network with dedicated wires and a global hierarchical network. A distributed memory approach enables the possibility to use generic memory banks as routing buffers, simplifies the implementation and reduces the area requirements of routers. A SystemC simulation environment (SCENIC) has been developed to simulate and instrumen

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling fokuserar en religiös aktör i det civila samhället under en konfliktfylld tid. Judiska, muslimska och kristna barn studerade tillsammans i anglikanska missionsskolor under den brittiska mandattiden i Palestina. Jerusalem var då etniskt och religiöst delat. Det anglikanska utbildningsprojektet var en del av den Anglikanska kyrkans försök att främja konflThis thesis concerns a religious actor in the civil society in times of violent conflict. During the British Mandate period in Palestine, Jewish, Muslim and Christian children studied together at Anglican missionary schools. At this time Jerusalem bore all the imprints of ethnic and religious separation and division. The Anglican educational project became part of the efforts made by the Anglican

A pattern reconfigurable stacked microstrip patch antenna is presented for 60GHz central frequency. The antenna reconfigurability is realized using shorting pins in the antenna radiating aperture. Investigation is presented for different shorting pins locations. Influence on the antenna radiation pattern and return loss is studied. Measurement results for the antenna prototype agree with simulatio

This paper provides design experience based on 2D FE electromagnetic and heat transfer analysis that are used to support product development. An induction in-roll heater is analyzed, tested and verified. The scientific challenge is to develop fast and fair models to provide design guidelines for layout specification, material selection and performance estimation. The transferred energy capability

During the past 10 years, the European Commission has funded numerous dedicated research projects in the field of land degradation and desertification which focussed on data collection in specific field sites, detailed methodological studies, assessment and monitoring experiments, and the development of specific modelling concepts. Although substantial scientific progress has been achieved and som

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of individual trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for treating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children and young people. Method: Following a 4-week symptom-monitoring baseline period, 24 children and young people (8Y18 years old) who met full DSM-IV PTSD diagnostic criteria after experiencing single-incident traumatic events (motor vehicle
