This contribution is a partial report from a study of the identification accuracy and realism in the confidence judgments of the correctness in the identification reports in two kinds of target-present voice lineup. 24 men and 54 women were asked to identify a voice that they had heard previously in a dialogue context that simulated the planning of a burglary by two males 22 and 27 years old. The

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

Romulus Bucur is a renowned writer and literary critic. He is also faculty member at Transylvania University of Brasov, institution well-known for its courses of creative writing and translation studies. "Glosses" is a nimbly written theoretical book wherein many topics are analyzed. One of the most important is the work of Alexandru Musina, editor, writer, professor, and mentor of the Group of Br

This thesis deals with questions concerning restrictions in the possibility of having commercial activities organised within the legal status of a foundation. An enterprise foundation is a foundation that either carries out commercial activities in its own name or is the owner of shares in a commercial enterprise organised outside the foundation. The commercial activity can be the object of the fo

Men, violence and moral work- Reports from help-seeking men at treatment centers working with violence in close relationships Men’s violence against women is an extensive social problem. In the 1970s, a new kind of centers were established in the US and UK, focusing on treating men who had been violent against their wives or girlfriends, the aim which is to end the men’s violent behavior. In the

Induction heating has the potential to be a very efficient heating method and by using litz wires instead of copper tubes the losses can be significantly reduced. The drawback with litz is the fact that it comprises insulation materials with low temperature resistance, typically in the range 150 – 200 °C. In order to solve this problem a solution is to create channels in the litz structure in whic

The general aim of this thesis is to develop an increased understanding of contract management as a mode of governance. A specific aim has been to explore how complex municipal services are managed by contract. A framework for analysis of contract management was developed by combining elements from interorganisational theories with different perspectives, such as transaction cost theories, network

Graph cuts methods are at the core of many state-of-the-art algorithms in computer vision due to their efficiency in computing globally optimal solutions. In this paper, we solve the maximum flow/minimum cut problem in parallel by splitting the graph into multiple parts and hence, further increase the computational efficacy of graph cuts. Optimality of the solution is guaranteed by dual decomposit

We consider the problem of L2-optimal triangulation from three separate views. Triangulation is an important part of numerous computer vision systems. Under gaussian noise, minimizing the L2 norm of the reprojection error gives a statistically optimal estimate. This has been solved for two views. However, for three or more views, it is not clear how this should be done. A previously proposed, but

Twelve children with mild/moderate hearing impairment (HI) and 12 children with specific language impairment (SLI), 5 - 9 years old, were assessed in order to compare novel word learning and to study cognitive and linguistic predictors for word learning. There was no significant difference on novel word learning between the groups. The strongest predictor for novel word learning was a lexical meas
