The project reported on here, construed within the general ontological framework of hermeneutic inquiry, considers the methodological consequences of this basic approach. A specific methodology that was developed, capturing both subjective contents and discursive construction processes, is described. It consists of a Diary-in-group method combining personal diary writing with group conversations a

This paper argues for the relevance of the media history of the press. Using a broad and open media concept, this perspective should be understood as the study of the construction and communication of the self-images and ideology of the press. Rather than describing the complex of problems as images that are ‘spread’ through one channel (newspapers) by one actor (the press), it should be seen as a

In these notes I have given a personally flavored expose of static density-functional theory (DFT). I have started from standard many-body physics at a very elementary level and then gradually introduced the basic concepts of DFT. Successively more advanced topics are added and at the end I even discuss a few not yet published theories. The discussion represents many of the personal views of the a

This paper presents theoretical and experimental results on observer-based impedance control. Impedance control is a technique for robot force control, which is often used to deal with geometric uncertainty. The aim of this technique is to obtain a dynamic relation between position and force in interaction similar to Newton's second law. Here the velocity is used to modify the damping of the imped

This monograph presents a new model of the internal syntax of nominal phrases. The model is mainly based on Scandinavian, since with the wide range of variation that Scandinavian displays in the nominal domain, despite the close genetic relationship between the different varieties, Scandinavian is particularly well-suited for explorations into nominal syntax. Among the topics covered are the basic

Yellow Faience, Flintware and Lustreware In the 19th century, contacts between potteries around the Baltic Sea and the Sound were essential and frequent, but they remain almost entirely unrecorded. New styles, materials and glazes were shared among manufacturers in a variety of ways, mostly informally, directly and from person to person, or indirectly through exhibitions or in the form of illustra

Political participation research has consistently shown that age and education among other factors, to a large extent determine who the activists are. The rise of social media services such as Facebook has however prompted hopes that new and more flexible forms of participation might lead to reduced inequality in political participation. This paper uses unique data on the political uses of social

In this study we investigated how managers make strategical decisions in complex, dynamic, and real-time environments and in different decision domains. The managers we interviewed were usually ‘in charge’ of the tasks. Our results showed that the informants mostly constructed only one or two decision alternatives and that they did this to a large extent through communication with other persons, w

Packaging has a significant impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of retail supply chains, where improvements can be achieved through the adaptation and development of the concept of packaging logistics. In order to enable these improvements, models are needed that facilitate evaluations along the supply chain and show the activities involved in the packaging logistics process. The knowledge

I denna artikel undersöker jag spänningen mellan forskning i narratologi och undervisning i narratologi. Mitt främsta syfte är att analysera hur forskningen i detta äflt kan användas i undervisning. Studien görs på elever i gymnasiet i Sverige. Jag studerar elevernas reaktioner på ett så kallat "rambrytande" berättargrepp: den narrativa metalepsen. Samtidigt ifrågasätter jag vissa teoretiker enlig
