This paper presents an adaptive video encoder that can be used to compare the behavior of different adaptation strategies using multiple actuators to steer the encoder towards a global goal, composed of multiple conflicting objectives. A video camera produces frames that the encoder manipulates with the objective of matching some space requirement to fit a given communication channel. A second obj
Hur påverkar kylan arbetsmiljön i mjölkproduktionen? De som arbetar med mjölkproduktion kan under vintern ha en mycket kylig miljö. JTI har, i samarbete med Arbetslivsinstitutet, gjort mätningar och studier kring hur kylan påverkar arbetsmiljön. JTI:'s och Arbetslivsinstitutet's mätningar visar att de största problemen med kyla observerade's för händerna i samband med spolning av golv, arbete på s
INTRODUCTION: General practitioners are often interested in doing research but are hampered by lack of time and research training. Interpreting the results of others can also be difficult. For this reason a course in basic research methods for GPs was started in Sweden in 1989. It was originally aimed at GPs but was later extended to hospital physicians as well. The course is given regionally and
I denna studie visar vi olika fördelar med vår e-learning-modell, som har „räddat” småspråket rumänska. Vi konstaterar dessutom att denna utbildningsmodell kan tillämpas på vilket annat språk som helst, för att uppnå ett flexibelt, rationellt, kostnadseffektivt och modernt lärande.
Våra genomströmningsresultat visar på en markant positiv utveckling för varje år. Vi ställer oss frågan: Är det den allt större flexibiliteten som vi skapar inom våra kurser som kan vara motivet?
Under många år har konsumenttidningen Råd & Rön haft stort inflytande på de svenska konsumenterna och deras konsumtion. Under närmare 50 år ägdes tidningen av Konsumentverket och dess föregångare Statens institut för konsumentfrågor. Genom studier av Råd & Röns årgångar, konsumentmyndigheternas arkiv samt riksdagstrycket står det tydligt att politiker och konsumentmyndigheter haft stort in
Denna artikel knyter an till temat i Tidskrift för litteraturvetenskap 2010:3-4, ”Litteraturvetenskap och didaktik”. Artikeln är ett inlägg i debatten kring läsarorienterad respektive textnära litteraturundervisning. Jag presenterar två undervisningsmoment där jag tagit upp exempel på det som kallas paradoxalt berättande, det vill säga verk innehållande berättartekniska grepp som på ett eller annaThis article relates to the subject of the journal "Tidskrift för litteraturvetenskap 2010:3-4", which was ”Literature and didactics”. The article is a contribution in a debate about teaching literature according to the reader oriented respectively close reading approach. I describe two classroom situations where I took up examples of so called paradoxical narrative, that is works containing narra
Christian Zionism is usually characterized as a theological and political movement grounded in literalist bible hermeneutics and End-time speculations that dedicate unwavering support to the State of Israel and the Jewish people. The prophetic element in Christian Zionism has in later years been downplayed for a more down-to-earth focus on social and political commitment to the well-being of the s
PURPOSE: To explore oxidative stress and the radical scavenger α(1)-microglobulin (A1M) in the vitreous body of human eyes with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS: Levels of carbonyl groups, a marker of oxidative stress, and A1M were measured by ELISA and RIA in 14 vitreous samples derived from patients suffering from RRD, and compared with 14 samples from macula hole (MH
Industrialized building has drawn in ideas from many pioneering researchers during its decades of development; in this brief recapitulation we present some observations on selected moments in the history that have significantly shaped the approach to building construction. The first formative movement identified is prefabrication, as used by Joseph Paxton during construction of the Crystal Palace.
The aim of this study was to gain knowledge about the specific needs that a web-based support system for young carers (YCs) must meet. Twelve young people with experience of caring for and supporting a close friend, partner or relative with mental illness (MI) were interviewed about their life situation, support needs and opinions about a hypothetical web-based support system. The transcribed inte
Humidified gas turbines (HGT) offer the attractive possibility of increasing plant efficiency without the cost of an additional steam turbine as is the case for a combined gas-steam cycle. In addition to efficiency gains, adding steam into the combustion process reduces NOx emissions. It increases the specific heat capacity (hence, lowering possible temperature peaks) and reduces the oxygen concen
