Two Arabic Versions of the Book of Ruth

Abstract in Undetermined The present dissertation is an investigation of the extant MS material representing Arabic version, translated from Pedhitta, of the Book of Ruth. Seven Arabic MSS, ranging from the 13th to the 17th century, are investigated and classified according to their origins.

Status Spotting- A Consumer Cultural Exploration into Ordinary Status Consumption of "Home" and Home Aesthetics

Popular Abstract in Swedish När man förenar idéerna “status” och “konsumtion” tänker många automatiskt på dyra varumärken, konspikuös lyx, bling-bling och spektakulär extravaganza. Inte minst i fallet “hem” går associationerna till Hollywood-stjärnor, enorma villor, kända arkitekter, swimming pools och dyr möbeldesign-hysteri. Men, givet att de flesta människor inte har medlen, och kanske mer viktWhen lumping the notions of “status” and “consumption” together, people often think of expensive brands, conspicuous luxury, bling-bling and spectacular extravaganza. Not least in the case of the “home,” such associations go to Hollywood stars, spacious mansions, famous architects, swimming pools, and high-priced furniture design frenzy. But given that most people don’t have the means, and perhaps

Entropy-like Lyapunov Functions for the Stability Analysis of Adaptive Traffic Signal Controls

Stability of some decentralized traffic signal control policies for urban traffic networks is studied. It is proven that, whenever the arrival rates belong to a certain region -which is the largest where stability is possible- the resulting traffic network dynamics admit a globally asymptotically stable equilibrium. The results rely on the use of some entropy-like Lyapunov functions previously con

Detection and Classification of Liquid Explosives using NMR

In this work, we present a novel method for non-invasive identification of liquids, for instance to allow for the detection of liquid explosives at airports or border controls. The approach is based on a nuclear magnetic resonance technique with an inhomogeneous magnetic field, forming estimates of the liquid's spin-spin relaxation time, T2, and diffusion constant, D, thereby allowing for a unique

Experimental studies of components in the treatment for social anxiety disorder

Social anxiety disorder (social phobia) is a debilitating and common anxiety disorder, with a lifetime prevalence ranging from 6 % to 12 %. The condition has its onset in childhood and early adolescence, affects females more often than males, and if untreated is associated with high risk of developing comorbid anxiety and mood disorders, as well as substance abuse. The increasingly growing body of
