Recent research on creativity and aging is described and discussed from different angles, foremost in the psychodynamic and neuropsychological domains. The overall picture is that of a shift from an earlier static or declination model to a more optimistic view of the future role for creativity in the elderly.

REX is a Fortran program for analysis of spectra obtained in PIXE analysis. The underlying model is still under development; however, one year of experience has demonstrated REX’s capability to be a fast reliable tool. The modeling of the different components and effects of the physical model is briefly discussed. Evidence is shown that secondary effects mostly due to Compton-scattering in and aro

This contribution is about an entirely new approach to the study of knowledge. As an introductory remark, the classical research operations in the field of cognition are reviewed. Against this background, an application of David Hestenes theory of rotational dynamics is demonstrated with particular reference to text processing. Based on the mechanism of joints and links of the AaO machine, angular

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sammanfattning. Man brukar mena att domsförkunnelsen i Jesaja 1?39 har två brännpunkter. I det jag kallar den samhällskritiska diskursen fördöms överklassens livsstil i allmänhet och dess förtryck av de fattiga i synnerhet. I den utrikespolitiska diskursen möter vi istället en profet som förkastar nationens utrikespolitik, inte minst de anti-assyriska upproren. Min tes Scholars have traditionally identified two fundamental, and somewhat separate, discourses in Isaiah 1?39. In what might be labelled the social-critical discourse, we supposedly encounter a prophet who condemns the Jerusalemite elite for their complacent attitudes and decadent life-style in general, and for their more or less systematic oppression of the less fortunate in particular. This lack of s

This article describes the use of the Swedish sån 'such' and såhär 'like', respectively, as a means to establish joint attention and cooperation among adolescents in multilingual settings. In the south of Sweden, in the city of Malmö, sån 'such' is used, primarily, as a determiner, and also a focus marker. In contrast, adolescents in Stockholm (approximately 600 kilometres north of Malmö) make fre

Denna tekniska rapport är en del av det arbete som är utfört inom ramen för ett MERA-projekt, L-FAM II. Mellan 2006 och 2008 pågick ett forskningsprojekt mellan Volvo AB, Vinnova, Flexprop AB, Högskolan I Halmstad samt Lunds tekniska högskola. L-FAM II var projektets namn och det gick ut på att hjälpa bilindustrin med lätta flexibla lyfthjälpmedel för deras karossbyggnation. Kriterier är en viktig

As a result of the globalisation of the world economy, many enterprises that previously confined their business activities to national markets are now focusing on broader international markets, thus forming the basis for the establishment of global enterprises. In addition to the extension of markets, these global companies also seek cost reductions through scale economics in logistics, marketing,

When simulating homogenous charge compression ignition or HCCI using one-dimensional models it is important to have the right combustion parameters. When operating in HCCI the heat release parameters will have a high influence on the simulation result due to the rapid combustion rate, especially if the engine is turbocharged. In this paper an extensive testing data base is used for showing the com

In both the academic literature and in the media there have been concerns expressed about the level of surveillance technologies used to facilitate security and its effect upon privacy. Government policies in the USA and the UK are continuing to increase surveillance technologies to counteract perceived terrorist threats. Reflecting upon Ashby’s Law of Requisite Variety, the authors conclude that
