The concept ‘postmodernism’ refers to a very complex ideological movement concerning the entire cognitive field; from music to architecture, from film to philosophy and from technology to sociology. As an academic ‘subject’ or object of study, its origin can be dated to the midst of the 1980’s, but as a historical process, the dating is more difficult. Some writers associate the birth of postmoder

In clinical transplantation immunosuppressive agents are used in combination with the objective to achieve additive effects and less toxicity. A large number of novel drugs are candidates for clinical introduction at this time and experiments in animal models have an important role to play. The aim of this study was in brief to evaluate the capacity to inhibit the acute rejection process with biol

Existential biography does not so much search for a logical development in a person’s life as for the opportunities to shape and choose between different paths. Instead of using identities, which are often ambiguous in the extreme, I follow the Swedish historian Henrik Rosengren in his use of different cultural identifications that together form an identity. Identifications are changeable and mani

This paper describes a new hardware architecture for binary image erosion and dilation. The design is to be used in a self contained real-time surveillance system. Thus, low complexity and low power consumption are main constraints. To achieve this goal the aim has been to reduce memory requirements and the number of memory accesses per pixel. By storing only the number of consecutive ones that ap

Under hösten 2012 och vintern 2013 ansvarade Stefan Larsson och Per Runeson för en tvärvetenskaplig studiegrupp om Det digitala samhället på Pufendorfinstitutet vid Lunds universitet. Vid sex seminarietillfällen under hösten 2012 och början av 2013 träffades 17 forskare från sex fakulteter, en eftermiddag, var tredje vecka för att få olika perspektiv att mötas och konfronteras kring aspekter på de

In fire safety engineering, information about the expected walking speed of occupants through smoke is one factor that is of great interest to the designer. However, despite the fact that research already in the 1970s demonstrated that people tend to evacuate through smoke, little research has been performed on the topic, and evidently there is a lack of data on walking speed in smoke. This has cr

Natural food webs are embedded in a variable environment, which causes population densities to fluctuate, despite a potential stable equilibrium. Population interactions as well as the characteristics of the environmental fluctuations determine the resulting population dynamics. Populations sensitive to the same kind of environmental disturbances will show correlated responses in their respective

This paper reports on an inquiry into the use of metadata, publishing formats, and markup in editor-managed open access journals. It builds on findings from a study of the document architectures of open access journals, conducted through a survey of 265 journal web sites and a qualitative, descriptive analysis of 4 journal web sites. The journals’ choices of publishing formats and the consistency
