Joint property units and joint facilities are an integral part of the Swedish cadastral system. They are a result of the 19th century land reforms, where the units guaranteed a common resource system (roads, mills, drainage systems etc.) for externalities of the individual property. Today, several of these joint property units are unused and constitute land of low value. Joint facilities exist wit

Software architecture is recognized as a critical factor for successful products, but few have studied how organizations decide on architectural changes. In this paper we study the topic through several case studies. The changes are in all cases changes to the quality attributes of the system, and follow the same general process. We find that architectural changes have aspects of both functional a

How do readers interact with net papers? Does the new medium influence our way of searching for news? Does net-paper reading differ from newspaper reading? 12 users were asked to read 2 net-papers at their own pace. The aim of the study was partly to analyse reading behaviour on the Internet, partly to understand some of the underlying rationale and motivation of the behaviour. To achieve this aim

Conversation of Lithuanian philosopher and writer Tomas Kavaliauskas with Niklas Bernsand and Andreas Johansson Heinö about Swedish identity, multiculturalism and historical memory. Text in Lithuanian.

Measurement results of an analog channel decoder in 65 nm CMOS are presented. We target ultra compact and low power applications with low to medium throughput requirements. The decoding core is designed for (7,5)(8) convolutional codes and takes 0.104 mm(2) on silicon. The degrading effects of analog imperfections are investigated and the presented results allow power, performance and throughput t

This thesis demonstrates the potential of the liquid membrane extraction technique as an alternative method for the analysis of trace ionisable organic compounds in the environment. Liquid membrane based extraction methods for the analysis of s-triazine herbicides and phenolic compounds were developed. Selectivity of the technique was demonstrated by extraction the above compounds in river water,

Boken handlar om den katolska kyrkan och den katolska minoriteten i Sverige, dess kulturella och religiösa identitet samt dess ställning i det svenska samhället i slutet av 1800- och början av 1900-talet. Jag anknyter till teorier och modeller som utvecklats inom kulturhistorisk och religionssociologisk forskning och har därvid särskilt tagit fasta på teorier om katolicismen som en motkultur i det

Popular Abstract in Swedish Internationalisering av högre utbildning beskrivs i första delen av avhandlingen i ett vidare perspektiv, flera olika forskningstraditioner som berör högre utbildning och internationalisering beskrivs i syfte att utgöra en bakgrund för argument som framhåller ett pedagogiskt och didaktiskt perspektiv som väsentligt i samband med utveckling och konkretisering av en interThe development of higher education in the Western countries involves ideas of internationalisation, included in curricular objectives. Policy-makers stipulate internationalisation ideologies, from a politico-economic perspective, where ideas about flows of various cultural elements are incorporated in visionary idealistic terms. Nevertheless teachers and students and others concerned with higher

Exact-diagonalization results for Kondo nanoclusters alloyed with mixed-valence impurities show that tuning the energy spacing Δ drives the system from the Kondo to the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) regime. The interplay of Δ and disorder gives rise to a Δ versus concentration T=0 phase diagram very rich in structure. The parity of the total number of electrons alters the competition betwee
