The presentations start with a theoretical model by Kaufmann, distinguishing two types of creativity, proactive versus reactive, important when dealing with the goal of innovative activity. The next contribution, made by Hoff, empirically investigates in school children the importance for creativity of differences in imaginativeness, when facing competition or not. As regards another factor, feedb
This is a study of social mobility over 25 years in six villages in the former Tiruchy District in Tamil Nadu. The two most important external drivers are local industrialization and social policy in a broad sense. Analyzing mobility matrices by means of regression techniques, it is shown that the overall effect is a centripetal tendency in agrarian structure, with tendencies towards a strengthene
Projektet Apollo II var ett yrkesförberedande projekt för arbetshandikappade och långtidsarbetslösa i Eslövs kommun. Projektet var ett samverkansprojekt mellan Arbetsförmedlingen och Arbetsmarknadsinstitutet i Eslöv under år 1999. Utvärderingen omfattade intervjuer med deltagare och personal. Deltagarna beskrev betydelsen av det sociala utbyte de haft av projektet då de träffat andra i samma situa
Forty years ago, Viterbi published upper bounds on both the first error event (burst error) and bit error probabilities for Viterbi decoding of convolutional codes. These bounds were derived using a signal flow chart technique for convolutional encoders. In 1995, Best et al. published a formula for the exact bit error probability for Viterbi decoding of the rate R=1/2, memory m=1 convolutional enc
This thesis conceptually consists of two parts. The fist part---the first half of paper I and papers II--IV---is a study of Jensen measures and their role in pluripotential theory. Lately, there have been a great interest in new methods for constructing plurisubharmonic functions as lower envelopes of disc functionals in the spirit of Poletsky. In this context, Jensen measures of various types pla
