Professonalization and deprofessionalization of teaching

Teachers in elementary and secondary schools are striving for professional status. In todays fighting for higher salaries they rank themselves in the same category as masters of engineering, business administration and lawyers. However their ambitions are not an exclusively modern phenomenon. This paper analyze from a historical perspective todays neoliberal influences on teacher education and tea

Waveguide modes for current approximation in frequency selective surfaces

The importance of using efficient bases for current expansion in numerical computations of electromagnetic field problems has been emphasized for several decades. It is well known that the basis functions should approximate the physical current (electric or magnetic) to some extent. Moreover, for efficiency, it is reasonably to require that only a few basis functions are needed in order to obtain

High resolution core level photoemission of clean and adsorbate covered metal surfaces

A brief review is given of some fundamental aspects of high-resolution core-level photoemission and of its application to studies of pure and adsorbate covered metal surfaces. We first give a short description of the basic theory and then turn to a number of examples. The first group of examples is aimed at demonstrating the use of core-level binding energy shifts for deriving the surface and inte

Studying the science of economics: Outline of a realist sociology of science

This paper discusses the prospect of a sociology of science informed by the critical realist philosophy of science. The discussion departs from the need for a theoretical framework to account for theoretical struggle and reproduction in the field of econom-ics. The recent talk about an ontological turn in science studies and the wider back-ground for such a turn is then related to the earlier turn
