This thesis utilises qualitative methods to examine what drives / impedes corporate action on climate change in the Swedish electricity industry. Reasoning from new institutional theory, this thesis examines the role of institutional logics as a determinant of corporate actions. Institutional logics are shared cognitively institutionalised structures that are thought to limit individuals’ capacity

This study has focused on: (i) differences in how males and females use the genes in the genome, (ii) how sex chromosomes evolve and (iii) how the evolutionary rate of genes are affected by the chromosome on which they are located on and the gene expression level they experience. A large-scale microarray was developed for the zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata and techniques were developed so that t

This contribution traces the international contacts and impact of the leader school for German doctors ('Führerschule der deutschen Arzteschaft') in Alt Rehse 1935-1943 through studies of a visitors' book and of biographies.We suggest that the 'Föhrerschule', an institution providing political and ideological education for health professionals, interested non-German physicians to a larger extent t

Reporting criminal victimization to the police is no obvious act. The decision to file a complaint varies depending on the specific situation. This article discusses some young Swedish men’s narratives about contacting the police when mugged or assaulted. Although all of them have contacted the police it has not been self-obvious. Rather, they present reasons for not filing a complaint. However, a

One factor which can be expected to influence performance in applications where the user is expected to point a device in some direction to obtain information is the angle interval in which the user gets feedback. The present study was performed in order to get a better understanding of the influence of this angle interval on navigation performance. Results indicate that users are able to handle q

A discussion of motivations for doing archaeology. In the present there is a conflict between three different perspectives: Enlightment, teraphy and morale. The three perspectives go back to the Antique philosophical concepts of the truth, the beauty and the good, correlating to epistemology, estetics and ethics.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur kan man skapa en tredimensionell modell av ett objekt eller en plats från tvådimensionella bilder? Det är den centrala frågan i den här avhandlingen och en viktig fråga i datorseende generellt. Normalt delar man upp problemet i en serie basproblem. Ett basproblem kan till exempel vara att skatta kamerans rörelse mellan två bilder eller kamerapositionen för en ny bilThis thesis is concerned with the geometrical parts of computer vision, or more precisely, with the three-dimensional geometry. The overall aim is to extract geometric information from a set of images. Most methods for estimating the geometry of multiple views rely on the existence of robust solvers for a set of basic problems. Such a basic problem can be estimating the relative orientation of two
